PUTNAM


 Rev Father Mayotte. foremrly of Putnam. now in foreign service, in a letter te Bishop Milan, says that his work at the front is somewHar differ ent from that in his old parish. He described his feeling in his first trip | 10 the front. of thinking what a won derful man Sherman was, and thought Of the man who wrote Where Do We Go From Here Boys? As he listened | to the insistent roar of the big guns during his first night at the front. he 1 decided he was not a bit sleepy, es- pecially when it dawned on him that l the house three or four doors away | had been blown to bits by a shell. But | one can get accustomed to anything, | he continued. and after couple of l days did not mind the little details | and could sleep the sleep of the just, 1 despite the bombardments Ills first visit to the front line trenches and trip out into No Mans Land was interesting to hlm. The scenery he says is wonderful.
 The 2o-nute team advertising sBora> came into town at about Il a. m. yes terday morning. Probably only about 1 one person in every ten noticed that 1 it was in reality an 1S-mule team when it reached Putnam. the two mules nearest the schooner being horses. One of the mules died and it's mate was relegated to the rear of the caravan and the missing mules replaced by ordinary horses The ad- yertising man on the cart won the admiration of the crowd by throwing packages of Borax from a distance straight into the hands of people out upon piazzas and in the windows. The mule team is driven by a single rein on the left side.
 The following men were passed Fri day by the draft board as fit for ser vice; Joseph Roy. Danielson: Adelard lDurand, Danielson; Augure Gandreau, Danielson: George. LedouX. Mechanics vile; John Ogozilek. Goodyear; Omer Provost, Danielson: Patrick Tracy, Putnam. Those rejected were: Mich eI Ancom, Grosvernordale; Leon Ere quit, Taftville, and Rosane Harpin, Putnam.
 An interesting case came before the board when Patrick Tracy requested that his number be advanced. He has been 1 1-2 years in the trenches in France and Belgium and has been both wounded and gassed. He was one of the guards chained to Roger Easement when he was sent across the Channel to he expected as a spy.
