HUNTING ACCIDENTS
Clarence Starrett of Lynn, Mass, Shot
Through the Abdomen.

Clarence Starrett of Lynn, Mass,
was terribly injured at Plymouth Fri
day morning when he accidentally re-
ceived a rifle bullet in the abdomen,
the ball tearing away part of one
kidney. He was hurried to the Mary
Hitchcock hospital at Hanover, N. H,
where physicians said that he has a
fighting chance to recover. Mr.. Star
rett, who spends the summers with his
family at Plymouth Corners, went
deer hunting Friday morning and up
on his return went into shed with
the intention of placing his gun in d
wagon. Grasping the rife by the muz-
zle he attempted to shove the gun
into the wagon. The hammer caught
upon something and the rifle was dis
charged, the 32-4O bullet entering the
bdomen at one side, tearing away the
muscles, injuring the kidney and COM
ing out of the body in his back. 1t is
said that the injured man was not
accustomed to handling firearms.

LET TONSILS ALONE
Says a Former st. j. Doctor BefOre
N, Y. Osteopathic Society.

DR.. Ira w. Drew, formerly of St.
Johnsbury, now professor of child
ren's diseases at the Philadelphia col
lege of osteopathy in a speech before
the recent convention of the New
York osteopathic society in Utica had
the following to say about the tonsils:
The removal of a child's tonsils
opens the way for the entrance into
its system of a score of dangerous
diseases, among them the dreadful in
fantile paralysis. DR.. Drew pointed
out that the tonsils form an important
part of the ring of the Emphatic It's
sue situated at the back of the mouth,
which all air and food must pass be-
fore making entrance into the body.
During its passage through the nose
and mouth, air deposits much of the
foreign matter, such as germs. dust,
etc, which it contained, upon the It's
sues, he contended, and were it not
for the tonsilar tissue these would be
swallowed unchanged and active.
When the tonsils are normally healthy
and active, however, he declares, they
have the property of fltering out
germs and rendering them harmless.

CLUE TO MISSING SEVICNEY
BOY POUNDS ALIVE

A clue to the disappearance of Sam
ueI Sevigney, the 14-year-old boy who
left home about 5 p. n. week ago
Sunday, before the heavy snow storm
of that date, and who when last seen
was riding a bicycle up Railroad
street, was given to Chief Finley by
a Concord woman who claims she saw
a boy near that town answering his
description. She said he was wearing
an old overcoat evidently a mans
coat strapped around with a wide
leather belt studded with nickel riv-
cts. The coat and belt have since
been missed from the barn where
they were hanging, by The boys peo>
pie, and they say it was undoubtedly
he. The woman asked him where he
was going and he replied to Berlin
Falls, N. H. She was unable to say
what day she met the boy but thinks
it was Monday.

Donald Emery, Glass 10, Sends Sam
pie N. Y. Ballot Used at Border.

Donald Emery, Glass 10, Sends Sam
pie N. Y. Ballot Used at Border.
Donald G. Emery of the class of
1910, who is now serving with a New
York regiment on the Mexican border
has forwarded a sample of the ballots
used in the recent election of Nov. z,
to DR.. Benedict. Friday morning, in
chapel, DR.. Benedict explained in full
the different offices which were to be
filled. from that one ballot. The offices
ranged from presidential electors
down to the smallest city offices and
the length of the ballot when unfolded
approached eight feet. He then told
of the not surprising agitation which
had been started in that state for a
so-called short ballot.
The students appreciated Mr.. En-
ery's kindness in sending the ballot,
both from the instructive and amuse-
ment standpoint, and the general
opinion seemed to be that a man OF
great intelligence would be required
to do full justice to his suffrage rights
in the state of New York.
