MANSFIELD CUT-UPS
 TRIED TO RING CHURCH BELL Pitched on Local Officers Who We're Hired to Stop the Annual Practice.

Constable Thomas J. Killourey, who is also employed as train announcer at the local railroad station and De- Tective A. F. Roswell underwent an exciting and rather unpleasant eX- perience in the early hours of Inde- pendence Day. The two officers were hired by O. A. Perry of Mansfield Center to put a stop to depredations which although not particularly de- structiVe excited displeasure on the part of the more peaceable and law abiding citizens in years past. It has been the habit of some of the young men and boys in Mansfield to ring the church bell in spite of repeated warn ings from the authorities to dlscon- Linue the practice. Which accounts for the hiring of the officers mentioned to preserve order.
 ALessers KillOurey and Roswell ac- cordingIy were on the job when the usual attempt was made by the gang and when chased by Officer Killourey one of the number struck him over the head with the butt of a revolver while the rest pitched on to help. In the face of these overwhelming odds, the officers were put to route, but Xii IOurey mauagd to secure the cap of his assailapt, whom he recognized as Louis Dodd, aged 25 of Mansfield. Dodd will, be arraigned on charge of assault.

Why Cheerful
People
Are Healthy
BY 'sT. r. M"


Fear and worry are chiefly known to
people as very unpleasant states OF
mind. and it is seldom realized except
by medical men that they exercise a
most profound influence on the health.
n When the mind is anxious and dis
turbed all the functions of the body go
wrong. The digestive system is espe-
cially disordered. and this gives rise TO
what is known as autointoxication, an
exceedingly common condition.
Autointoxication means the absorption
into the blood OF polsons formed in the
body itself, and these have much the
same effect as poisons taken in from
outside. When the stomach sufks. these
poisons are carried to the brain and
nerves and the breathing disturbed.
II the anxiety and worry are not for
chilly checked things go from bad to
worse and the person falls into a condi-
zion of neurasthenia.
on the other hand, feelings OF hope,
pleasure and joy both stimulate the di-
sestion AM nelp to get rid OF the pois-
ons which are formed by the breaking
down of foodstuffs.
The cheerful person is rarely victim
Of autontoXication. We should. there
fore. make a haD.t of cultiyating a
cheerful, joyous state of mind II is
not always an easy task, but with con-
slant trying the most respondent per-
son may succeed in the end. Serenity
OF mind is natural TO some. but all may
cultivate IL. II one says to himself on
rising in the morning, Il win be cheer
ful and happy today no matter what
may happen To irritate and depress me.
and IL he repeats that assurance to him
self many times In the day he will find
that most OF the inevitable worries are
borne lightly.
At the end OF the day his digestion
and other functions will be in a healthy
state and the next days effort will be
easier. And In the course OF a few
weeks, II this plan be perseveringly fol-
| lowed almost complete control OF the
mind will be obtained, the trials Of life
will be borne with equanimity. the bod
| lily functions will be strengthened and
the evils of administration viii be
avoided.

when you look at this picture you will
not wonder that there is rejoicing in
France over the recovery of the head of
the celebrated statue OF the Smiling
Angel" which was one OF the most sd
nired details of the beautiful north por-
tai Of the Cathedral of Rheims. 1t was
broken off during the bombardment in
1914. and was supposed TO have been ut
terly destroyed. Countless thousands of
visitors had gazed upon It with admirs-
ton during the centuries that It stood
there, and its fame had become world
wide among the lovers of art,
Fortunately somebody found the frag-
ments of the head and removed them
to the cellars of the archblshop's palace.
and there. although the palace itself was
wrecked during the bombardment. the
broken masterpiece remained safe FROM
further injury. Now Il has been recov-
cred, and experts aver that II can be re-
paired. The head is split into four pieces,
but the winning smile has not been de-
stroyed.
There was report that the broken
head had been carried off and had found
its way to America, but this proves to
be a mistake. Many copies of the statue,
as well as of the head alone, had long
ago been made. and such copies have
occasionally turned up in antiquity
shops in Paris, but none of them was
a perfect reproduction of the original.
The museum of the Trocadero, however,
has complete cast OF the entire figure,
as well as another of the head. and these
together with many existing photographs
of the statue. as it was before war be
headed it, will aid in the reconstruction
which French artists will undertake as

place in the estimation of connolsseurs
but in France Rheims has a place apart
on account of its association with the
ancient glories OF the nation.
1t beheld the triumph Of the patriotic
work Of Joan of Arc when she made
possible the browning of Charles VII.
in the cathedral in 1929. But every
French monarch. with six exceptions.
has been crowned at Rheims. 1t had
this distinction because It's archbishop
was the metropolitan OF the kingdom.
Clovis was baptized at Rheims by St.
RENT, the apostle OF the Franks" CEN
turtles before the cathedral was built.
When St. RENT was only u years old
Attila with his Huns ravaged that part
Of France. but was driven off by his
great defeat on the Marine. and after
that Rheims became a religious center
for the Franks. The cathedral was
founded in 1912
