and reached down in his jeans,
brought out a handful Of tobacco,
filed a great big cob pipe and
started out to the barn, putting
like a mogul, but all at once, with
out warning, the pipe and stem
went to the fair winds Of the earth.
When the smoke lifted one eye
was red, one black and mouth
fullof ashes. Strange, indeed, a
fellow can't tell tobacco from %
cartridges.

NECK BROKEN, HAWLEY CALM
 AS END WEARS.
x-Ray Examination Today Shows Fall Off Car Caused
 Fatal Injury

x-ray photographs taken of injury suffered by Harry N. Hawley. the we'll known teacher of Christ Episco- pal Sunday school. when he fell from a freight car on the Housatonic rail- road sidings at North avenue last week disclose that he has a complete frac- ture of third and fourth vertebrae of the neck. with complete paralysis below the head.
 While a few cases have been re- corded where such patients have been able to survive for several years in plaster casts or complete strapping of the body to wooden or metal frames. the ordinary lensth of life subsequent to accident is between two and three weeks. Physicians today hold out little hope of life for the victim.
 The circumstances are very sad for while he has complete control of his mental facilities, being able to think and talk freely with members of his family who have called to see him, the fact that only the heart functions and that All other organs are prac- tically paralyxed is most distressing to the patient as well as those who know that the end cannot long be stayed.
 Hawley has not yet been told of the gravity of the case. A brother living in Hawleyville and his two sisters, Miss Helen Hawley. employed in the Bridgeport Public lbrary. and Mrs. Baldwin. of stratford. called to see him yesterday. n.
 Physicians who have viewed the photographs taken declare that the case is most unusual. shock usually resulting in immediate death. From the fact that he has, survived four days faint hope Is expr essed In some quarters that his physique may ab- sorb nourishment in which case though q complete invalid unable to move during the rest of his life. death might be stayed temporarily for a considerable period of time.
 Hawley, only s4 years of age, fell from freight car on Saturday.

 New Treatment for, r,Negroes
 Officers here are inclined to credit border stories that speak of race troubles. It is believed that the ne- gro troopers have found color line drawn in Texas that they were not accustomed to in Illinois and that 1t has made them stubborn. The re- ports of colored troopers occupying seats reserved for whites in the street cars of San Antonio and refusing to give them up would indicate this, 1t was ssaid.
