Notice-keep Out !

In town in Alabama a boy, unable to swim, was struggling ill the water On the bank, rushing around and tell ing each other what to do, were thirty big husky men, several of whom could swim. While they were piddling and pottering the boy sank. Not even then did one of the "men" plunge in the water and try to rescue the little fellow. He drowned before their very eyes. Later, when questioned by other aston- ished citizens the brave fellows ex- plained that they had on their Sunday clothes, did not wish to get them soiled and that there was not time for any of them to undress and pull the drowning lad out of the pond. A wave of right eous indignation has swept over the town and these Sunday suit fellows boycotted and cut dead, socially, are to leave the place.

Old Tree Struck.

During the terrific thunderstorm or Wednesday night the monstrous Balm of Gilead tree standing opposite the old Lawrence farmhouse now owned by Fred Gillette, and occupied by Icemal Atwood, was struck by lightning. Int bark was shivered but the old tree was not fatally injured. This tree is one of the oldest, if not the very oldest, in this section of tue country. It is also one of the largest, and is the only Balm of Gilead tree in this locality.
 MT. Gillette says it has now beer struck by lightning eight times, tc his knowledge, but is plainly as full o1 vitality as ever. Its gnarled and tougf old bark is inches thick, on the trunk and its lower branches are as large in diameter as the trunks of large trees. It is probably nearly if not quite 100 years old, and seems good for centuries yet.

Dear Old Winste q.

Says the Waterbury American: It is the well-known rule of nearly all newspapers to promptly chuck all. un- signed communications into large and rapacious wastebaskets provided chiefly for the purpose of receiving them. It's a pretty poor rule that won't stand breaking once ill d while. though, so here goes for breaking once in 6 while, though, so here goes for break. Wednesdays mail brought to the American the following touching trib. ute to Dear Old Winsted,' authoI unknown but post-mark address New Britain:
 What, O what would the editor do, Reporters, proofreaders. telegrapher, In fact, for that the matter, the entil
 crew,
 If it wasn't for dear old Winsted? |? What is the place where the freaks all
 come; Two-headed chickens, born deaf and
 dumb, Who won't lay an egg till they have
 some rum?
 What place? Why, dear old Win
 sted.
 Where does the lightning play hide
 and go seek, Burning up corset steels nice and sleek, Yet leaving the lady uninjured though
 weak?
 What town? Why, dear old Winsted. It must be delightful to live in place, That harbors a COW with a human face, Enchantingly sweet in collar of lace, A town such as dear old Winsted. Where the local reporter can light up
 his briar And listen awhile to the old town liar, Then hustle down street to burn up the
 wire
 With stories of dear old Winsted But then we are glad such mans on
 the staff With the nerve to send out such inn
 probable gaff, For he's given the lot of us many a
 laugh
 At the dear old town of Winsted.

Fish will be Cheaper.

That the price of fish will, lin all probability drop to lower figure with in the next few months than it has reached in many years, is the opinion of dealers in sea food at the present time and it is also predicted that ft will become more popular and be more generally used as a result.
 Reports from the large fisheries along the New England coast show that the catches of mackerel during the present season are heavier than ever before and the fish markets throughout the eastern states are swamped with that much used fish.
 Great schooners of the fish have been found off Cape Cod and points off the Connecticut and Rhode Island coasts and huge boat loads have been brought in, the fish being of unusual size and excellent quality.

NURSE MEETING
Annual Meeting Tomorrow Night .
 Should Show Interest.

The annual meeting of the Canaan Visiting Nurse Association is to be held in the Town Hall tomorrow, (Friday) evening at o'clock. According to the official call the pun pose of the meeting is to elect officers for the ensuing year and transact such other business as may come before the meeting.
 It is likely that the continuance ot the visiting nurse service ill Cnaaan may depend somewhat upon the action oe this meeting and the interest shown ir the subject by the people. During the current year. since the service has been ill vogue, the people, have had ample opportunity to learn, by expel fence or observation, something about it and so far as The News has been able to learn the opinion is general that il has been benefcent acquisition to the community, and one which we can i'll afford to discontinue The reports uf Miss Sayger, the nurse. indicate, in the number of emergency calls to which she has responded, and the number of treatments she has given under physi- clans orders. that there has been very general recourse to her services from all parts of the town.
 Having proved itself of value it is in conceivable that the district nurse ser vice will be discouraged by any lack of interest in the part o; its supporters.

Deer's Wild Run.

A terrified doe which crept into New London, Sunday morning and ran amuck through the business section was captured and shot in a millinery shop after it had leaped through four plate glass store windows. The doe leaped out of most of the stores almost as soon as it had broken in and did little damage there. It entered the millinery shop by leaping through a narrow plate glass door and tore off both of its horns in the leap. It ran about the shop for several minutes with its head and sides torn by the glass it had broken, scatter ing blood on all the hats in the shop. Two policemen then entered the shop and captured the doe. It was so badly injured that they shot it. The deer weighed 175 pounds,

NOW LOOK OUT
VioIators of Automobile Law will Get
 What's Coming.

So many complaints have come to the authorities. of infractions of the automobile law, by not only tourists from other towns but lCcal auto talent as we'll, that It has been determined to see to it that the law is more respect fully observed in Canaan.
 The provisions requiring lamps to be lighted half. hour after sundown; re- quiTing horns to be sounded under cer rain conditions: prohibiting unsafe speeding and reckless driving aroun! busy corners; leaving auto standing on the wrong side of the street. and other requirements, are habitually disregard ed until it has become public by-word that the law does not apply to automo- billing i'll Canaan, in any particular.
 In order to convey different impress sion, the authorities have instructed the local constabulary to watch out for offenders in future. and arrest every driver who is guilty of breaking the law in any important particular. This .ourse is deemed imperative on account of the rapidly increasing number of automobiles and the correspondingly increased danger to the lives and limbs of pedestrians, as we'll as to impress upon transgressors the fact. that there is law in Canaan and a God iu Israel.

FEEDING THE MULTITUDE
Bremen and Musicians Eat Free; Gen
 eraI Public will Pay.


 The refreshment committee for the big Fifth of July firemen $ tournament, is the busiest and perhaps the most im- portant in the whole list of committees. And the members realize that they have a big job on their hands.
 It is expected that more than 2,o00 persons will have to be provided for, and the work of canyassing for pro- visions and cash contributions for this part of the big demonstration is being vigorously and successfully prosecuted. The people are responding with charac- teristic generosity, and there is no question about the abundance of crea- ture comforts that will be available.
 There appears to exist in some quar. ters an erroneous impression that needs to be corrected. It is not the inten- tion of the committee-nor could they reasonably be expected--to feed the multitude, indiscriminately, for noth. ing. The firemen, bands and drum corps will be served with the dinner, gratis. All others will be charged a reasonable price for the dinner, which will be served on the grounds, in the large tents.
 The refreshments to the general pub- lie will probably be dispensed on the "cafeteria" plan, a nickel for each article on the menu, the customer he- ing provided with capacious plate and selecting his own bill.of.fare from tho various booths, paying as he goes.

Former President Taft went to Cape May, Friday as the guest of the Penn sylvania Bankers association. Among other things he took a bath in his apart ments in the Hotel Cape May. He failed to consider the size Of the average seashole hotel bath tub, however, and when he climbed in the tub the water overfiowed and trickled upon the heads of the other guests in the dining room. Everybody ill the resort, including MT. Taft laughed at the incident
 The bankers assembled in the dining room waited for Mir. Taft to appear Suddenly their attention was attracted to wet spot in the ceiling which grew until water trickled down.
 The manager was called and the hotel plumber went straight to MT. Taft's room. There it was learned that the sporty ex-president had step ped in the tub without realizing the consequences of the sudden rise in the tide and had stepped out again without noticing the resultant deluge. He was mapping when the plumber knocked at his door.
 AS MT. Taft boarded his train Satur- day morning he glanced at the ocean and said: "I'll get piece of that fenced in some day and then, venture to say. there won't be any overflow" "
