lating to the subject of which will
appear in this paper. Remember
the HERALD is with you in every
thing that relates to the welfare of
the town. A town is just what the
people make it and it should be the
aim of all, working together, to
keep Island Pond to the front.
Arthur Eggleston, age q, of Sut-
ton, VT, is at the present time in a
critical condition at the hospital in
Sherbrooke and suffering from in
juries received last Monday evening,
while walking Oh the track near
Stevens overhead bridge some
two and one half miles west of here.
Eggleston had left his home some
days previous to the accident to visit
the camp of his uncle, Patrick Don
ahue, making the trip on bicycle and
decided to make the rest of the trip
by foot. After visiting his uncle,
with two other comrades started to
walk to Island Pond on the track.
On nearing the Stevens bridge they
heard an approaching train, which
was within short distance from
them; all made jump for the side
of the track, when Eggleston jump
ed he in some way lost his footing
and was thrown back toward the
train, being struck by it. He
was thrown a considerable distance
and was in an unconscious state
when found by his comrades, who in
some way attracted the attention OF
the engine crew who were helping
the train over the summit. He was
quickly taken to this place, the train
crew rendering first aid, to the
Y. M. C. A. emergency room and
was attended by Doctors Ellie and
Sargent; upon examination by the
physicians it was found that there
was compound fracture of the left
forearm and the left leg was badly
crushed at the knee, which it may
be necessary to amputate. His
parents at Sutton were notified by
telephone, arriving at eleven o'clock
by auto. He was removed to Sher-
brooke that night, where the at
tending physicians report his con
dition favorable.

"Clean-Up Week"
BY WAIVER P. LAMPHER, GRADE

Our streets have been in very bad
condition. Tin cans have been
thrown around in the back yards
and that causes flies to swarm around
and the poison which is in the cans
kills the flies. This makes a very
bad smell.
Also, when people come out OF
the postoffice they throw letters and
papers down on the ground. This
paper blows all over the town when.
ever little wind comes up.
Splitting on the street is also a

FATAL NIGHTMARE.

At the inquest at Lewes on Saturday on
Corporal Charles Ford of the Sussex Nation
al Reserve, who died in bed, DIR. Valance
said that Ford's heart was much more than
tn ice the normal size and was the biggest
he had ever seen.
The only explanation of death he could
give was that Ford had had nightmare,
which had overtaxed his weak heart. A
verdict of Death from Natural Causes was
returned. Ford served with the Goth Hus-

wounded in the region of the heart.-DaiIy

Mr.. Louis Delinois, merchant and Consul
General of Hayti, died last night after four

came here when 10 years old. and spent all
his life in St. Thomas with the family, of

He was educated in Paris, where he won
distinction in his studies. A gentleman of
refinement, suave in manner, kind and amia-
BILE in disposition, and possessed of fervent-
ly patriotic feeling for his country, his death
will create a deep sense of regret not only
among friends who knew him best, but
throughout the island, where he was esteem

ARISTOTLE, THE BULGARIAN

NJ. Gennadius, the Greek Minister, pre-
sided on Monday evening at a lecture on
the Balkan States by Mr.. Pember Reeves at
the London School Of. Economies. NJ. Gen
nadius said that in the Bulgarian schools
little Bulgars were taught that Alexander
the Great was a Bulgarian. (Laughter.)
They laughed, but it was true, and Mace
donia according to this history, had been for
all time the Fatherland of the Bulgarians.
Aristotle was a Bulgarian too, because he
was born iu Macedonia. Ibid.

Triding Message Delivered In Critical Battle.

Reports and returns, writes an officer at
the front, seem to be the daily food of the
powers that be. Even in sight of the enc
my, the pen is mightier than the sword.
There is a traditional story which every
one out here tells to demonstrate the point.
Once during the second Battle of Ypres
when a battalion was in a trench thirty yards
from the Germans they were surprised to see
a man crawling towards them from behind
ACROSS the open, the communication trench
es having been destroy ed by shells. On and
on he came slowly and painfully, for the en-
envy had also seen him and turned q machine
gun on him.
At last he arrived. pale and shaking, and
handed in the precious message be had risk
ed so much to bring:
Please report by 9 a. m. tomorrow the
numberof Jewish Bibles required by your
company.
That was all the message said. The mes
senger got the D. G. NJ, and the staff off
Ger responsible was told not to do it again.
