Girl Singing in a Garden

The flowers danced and waved their leaves
and every bloom was swinging,
For gentle girl, with jet-black hair, was
among them, softly singing
She soon re-entered the kitchen door, while
the song sounded softer and sweeter
And every face in the garden space ex-
pectantly watched TO greet her!
Oh, the flowers all knew-as flowers do
when an angel comes unaware
And they turned away from the sun that
day-because my Love was there!

SATURDAY NIGHT JOY RIDE
 RESULTS IN FRACTURED SKULL
Pierre Dausereau Also Has Broken Arm, Following Spill at South Chaplin.


 An automobile accident that hap pened near the old paper mill in South Chaplin about 9 o'clock Sunday morn ing, which nearly caused the death of one of the occupants of the car was the result of a joy ride by six young men of this city Saturday night. The car was owned by Phillip s. Hills and was taken without his permission from in front of a local garage.
 ROaul LamOureuE, who was to uual- ify for the place of driver of the car for MT. Hills today, brought the car from A. K. Burnham's shop to John sons garage, where it was left out side and LemoUreux notified the own CT of the fact that his car was at the I garage. Some time during Saturday t evening he, accompanied by samuel Clifford Daniel O'ConneIl Edward : Donovan, Louis Francis and Pierre I Dansereau, went and got the car, which is an Oakland touring car of re- : cent model and started for Putnam. which place they left for home late that night. When approaching the corner near the old mill in South Chaplin, Francis, who was then dTiv- ing, did not slow down, consequently the car slddded and overturned, throw ing the occupants out. All were unin- jured except Dansereau, who suffered a. fractured skull and broken arm. tWhen the young men found one of
 
 sent for and went to the place in his own car in which he brought the in jured man to St. Joseph's hospital, where he was as comfortable as could be expected, Sunday evening. The others walked to their homes in this city. Sunday, Francis who was em- ployed by the Jordan Auto company, came to the police station in this city and agreed to pay all damages in the accident.
 The car, which was run to a local garage under it's own power, was | smashed to a great extent. The radia- tor was pushed out of place and bent in several places, the body of the car was smashed under the windshield, which was a total wreck. the right front fender was badly damaged and the top, which has large spots of blood on it, was completely wrecked. It is not known what MT. Hills in tends to do about the matter, but it is thought that if his car is put in first class condition he will not bring any charges against the young men.
 It is believed that Dausereau will recover.
