NEW TRAFFIC ORDER.
Section of Main Street No Longer
 Available for Parking Area.

A new traffic order was issued and
 put in force Saturday. Under it auto
 mobiles will no longer be allowed to
 park i'll that section of Main street
 northward from the railroad crossing
 to a point opposite the southerly ends
 of the Exchange and Phoenix build
 ings.
 This has been a favorite place for
 parking machines, but with the sur
 prisingly fast increase Tn the number of automobiles owned and operated in this section, the leaving of machines there has resulted in unwarranted congestion and an actual blockade of the thoroughfare at times when cleo tric cars make their DanieIsOn senter stop.
 Signs announcing the prohibition
 against parking in the section men, 1 tiOred will be erected this morning i During Saturday and Sunday officers on duty were kept busy explaining the new rule to motorists who have been in the habit of leaving their cars in the section mentioned and requesting 1 them to park the cars elsewhere. The suggestion has also been heard that the cut-OS between the Exchange and Bradley bBjldings, leading to the pOstOfHce, be made a prohibited park ing area and some have also said that this should be made a one way street There is fine parking space in Railroad square, but this is seldom used by car owners

Planning for County Fair.

Tn preparation for the annual eXhifb:- ton by the Windham County Agricul- tural society the executive committee .Of the organization has a meeting scheduled for Saturday. President J, B. Stetson of the society was in town Saturday and talked of plans for the fair.
 The fair officials are somewhat wor- ried over the quarantine restrictions that have been put in force as a pro tective measure against infantile pa ralysis, fearing that it will operate tc keep many young people away from the grounds.
 There is in some quarters confidence that the need of the precautions now in force will have greatly Iessened by the time for the fair, however, and that the little people will be free tc go to Brooklyn as children have done in the fall for scores of years

BIG PULL OF THE ROBIN.
To See 1t at Its Strongest Watch Him
Get breakfast

Relatively speaking, the robin has
more pull than the widest politician
that ever drew breath or a contract.
We mean, of course, in comparison to
their sizes. By similar comparison,
he's stouter than a 100 horsepower
stump puller or a steel magnet. If you
want to see him test his strength get
up early some seasonable morning, go
out on the lawn and watch your friend.
the robin, %grubbing for worms.
9 You'll have to be early because the
robin is. Likewise the robin is early
because the worm is. Earthworms,
you know, crawl out of their under
ground tunnels at nighttime and feed
on dead leaves and grasses scattered
over the lawns. The robin gets his
breakfast before the worms have time
to get far down in their burrows.
Mr.. Robin goes hopping around over
the grass like a boy in a sack race with
his feet tied, stopping to inspect a hole
81 tiny that you'd never see ii. He
shoots his bill down in the hole, gives
his head a little twist-yes, he's found
q worm.
Then begins the tug Of war. With
the end of the worm fast in his bill
the robin braces his legs and pulls.
He doesn't jerk the worm out. If he
did the worm might break, and you'll
seldom see a robin get only half a
worm. No, he plays with it like u
skillful angler who has caught a big
fish on his line. Little by little the
worm gives way, AMI presto, the robin
has him in his mouth.
Once in a great while a young robin,
who hasn't learned the art yet, will
be caught off his balance by a sudden
release of the worm and go tumbling
on his back. But that doesn't happen
often.-Philadelphia North American.

WORDS IN FETTERS.
Many Expressions That Are Slaves to
the Tyranny of Custom.

the Tyranny of Custom.
There is no bondage more CALLING
than that of custom, and it is ines
capable also. Words which by nature
nave a wide latitude of real and meta
phorieal meaning are fettered to a sin
gle significance by the custom of using
them more commonly in one way than
In another.
When 1t was announced that a
preacher had been sued for breach of
promise every one at all interested in
the case Immediately assumed that he
had declined to marry a woman whom
he had agreed to make his wife. AS
he had a wife already, there were the
elements of a scandal in the report.
But 1t seems that the minister is not
accused of breaking his promise to
marry, but his promise to pay certain
sums of money in a business contract.
Breach of PROMISE" however, Is
chained so securely to the post of a
single meaning that it connotes but
one dea in the popular mind.
"Elope" is another word that is not
Tree. 1t means merely to run away,
but only people who run away to mar
ry surreptitiously are allowed to elope.
"Notoriety" is simply the state of being
known. A notorious man, however, is
a man of bad reputation. Suggestive
ness likewise means merely having
the ability to suggest, but it is used in
a bad sense. And CRITICISM" however
much it would like to describe friend
ly as well as hostile comment, finds
itself unable to convey any meaning
save that of f~aultfinding. The num-
Der of such slaves might be multiplied
indefinitely to prove that words are
but symbols that mean what we agree
they shall mean and not what their
ancestry would justify us in suppos-
ing that they do mean.-Philadelphia
Ledger.

Queer LOOKING Worms.

New Zealand, Australia, the Samoan
and the Solomon islands as well as
portions of the Hawaiian group are
the homes of various species of worms
with thick, heavy bodies and with a
well defined neck connecting the body
with a head that is a startling remind
er of that of the monkey. In the Sand
witch islands they are called meta
lu-ki," which means "creeper with a
child's head" An old New Zealand
legend says that at one time they were
of immense proportions and threaten
ed the extinction of all human life on
the islands.
