NEW CREDIT FOR THE
SAVING BOYS LEG

Clerk to the Overseers Of the Poor
j. P. Giroux went to Portland Friday
morning with Girard fountain, whom
he is taking to the hospital there for
treatment. When Mr.. Giroux came in
to charge Of the poor department he
found this boy with his left leg doubled
up and every prospect that he would
be cripple for life. The trouble had
been caused by the boy being hit with
baseball on the knee cap and it had
not been properly treated. He took the
boy to DR.. Abbott of Portland and the
treatment was started. The leg has
now been Strengthened and at the last
visit the doctor assured him that it
would be only short time before the
boy would be as we'll as ever. BY an
arrangement of braces and an attach
ment on the other foot he is able to
walk and gets about in good shape
now. The saving Of this boy from be-
ing a cripple for life can be added to
the good things that Mr.. Giroux has
done in the conduct of his office dur
ing the past year, and there have been
good many Of them. few of which
have been in print as Mr.. Giroux is
not looking for bouquets but does his
work in a quiet and thorough way that
only the people whom he has helped
can fully appreciate.

BIRD AFRAID OF
ANOTHER SPLIT

were defeated in the primaries was
contained in a letter addressed by one
of these candidates, Charles Sumner
Bird, to Lewis Parkhurst, chairman of
the Republican Club of Massachu-
sets, tonight. The communication was
in answer to a letter sent by Park
hurst to each Of the eight announced
delegate candidates, suggesting that
they try to agree and avoid a contest
in the primaries. IF we lose,' said
Mr.. Bird, THE Republican convention
will be controlled by the old guard
and split will be inevitable and

sured.'

THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET PLEASES

All over the city Friday was heard COM
Elementary references to the tickets that
have been nominated by the Republicans
in the various wards of the city. 1t was
the general opinion among Republicans
and Democrats alike that the ticket taken
as whole was one of the strongest that
has been put up by either party for a
number of years. Practically all of the
men have had experience either in bust
ness for themselves or as managers for
some concern and a large proportion of
them have had experience in the city
government where they have made a
gaod record for themselves. There is not
a single ward ticket that is weak and
the fine judgment shown by the members
of the party in their nominations will do
much to insure success at the polls.
