Tin Kelly Goes a Hunting
Bags All Kinds of Game, Also a Job

Timothy f. Kelly is the name of the
genial, gentleman with the open eoan-
tenance who has recently become a
hyphenated Putnamite. lie really is
Bostonian to the bone hnt has love Of
the country with an occasional hike In
the tall timbers with dog and gun.
aTim", MS he is called in Bostonese,
is popular member Of the bar tenders
union over in the old Bay State and is
past inspector of the order. He got a
touch of the fall fever last week and
ran down here to the Nutmeg state TO
take the cure. Tim arrived Saturday
| and lost no time, after he had spread
his cognomen across page of The Put.
nam Inn register, in taking out IL
cense and burning the trail to the hum
ting grounds.
uOf went Tim whistlin' And of
too went his gun, And its resounding
echoes never ceased Again Till the day
was donen And MS the shadows OF
night began to fall, and the odor of
burned gunpowder grew fainter Tim
sat under the old apple tree in a field
of golden pumpkins ripe for halowe'-
en- waiting for the late jitney to bring
himself and his catch back TO town.
Tim m eanwhile CT uld see the bright
lights of lower Washington street and
was Just getting ready to show the
II. az. oh .f h.a
had done with his II guage when the
chug of the auto brought him back TO
reality. Tim loaded a few squirrels
rabbits, two kinds of cartridges quail
a crow, woodchuck and skunk into
the tonneau, jumped into the front
seat. and, after submitting to an inter-
view by reporter and promising to
pose for the camera when he really
had a real days luck, he jitnyed back
for his usual dose of Saturday night
beans.
When Landlord Rogers, who is some
| hunter, saw his hotel office strewn
with game, it was only natual that he
should want to meet the man behind
the gun and modest Tim, blushing,
finally confessed, but said II wasn't
much of bag for him. OF course this
lead to the swapping Of stories and con-
fidences and it at last leaked out that
Tim the hunter was travelling incog
and was really Tim past master OF the
glass, spoon, cracked ice and ingredi-
ents and before the cooke clock had
ushered in the day Of rest Tim had
10 AIDE another lucky shot bagging JOB
to dispense liquid refreshment lin the
Inn cafe. Meanwhile there is silent
evicence Of gloom in sgame land, the
Bob " hite whistles with the soft ped
al on, the squirrels have ceased their
chatter, the partridge has mutiied its
drum and the rabbits, woodchucks and
skunks have holed up 70 await the
closed season. Someone is always TAX
ing the JOY cut Of life and he mas come
among US. "who2. says the vie old

Judge Catlin had evidenced the fee

The passing from our midst of an
honored member OF the community il
always shock to those within the IN
ner circle of friendly relationship, but
when the loss Is one TO the public at
large, ii may we'll give US pause. We
do honor to the man Of culture and re-
finemeDt when We trust him with
public office, but when to culture is
added sterling integrity OF character
claiming the esteem and affection OF
of such an one means irreparable loss
TO his fellow men.

3lst, 1888, taking High school at

1854 to 1884 he was connected with the
Illinois Central railroad and was elect

pany in 1864. After 80 years Of active
business life he retired and built his
house at Woodstock, where he planned
TO pass quiet thoughtful life away
from the busy turmoil Of the city, but
u was MOI so To be, for in 1891 he was

costly method without the slightest
beneficial result.
For years Judge Warner has urged a
state farm for drunkards. II was
largely due 10 his efforts that the mat
