When Life Grows Broader.

God does not count prosperity as
we count L., Our sense of proportion
IL largely shaped by our experiences.
When life is luiet and sheltered, and
the stream rams smoothly, we notice
every ripple :Md magnify every small
obstruction. We are fully occupied
with our work, our small worries.
Then comes some grief, calamity or
new responsibility which suddenly
changes. everything Our old interests
are dwar'ed and look so petty that we
wonder that we ever allowed such
trlfies TO burden our souls. BY such
experiences life grows broader and
higher and takes on new values. We
have new standards of measurement
for our fellow men as well as our
selves.

1. Jesus as the Lamb Of God ". 29).

mind. 1t denoted a substitutionary
sacrifice for sin. Christ was the true
lamb to which every sacrificial offer
ing pointed He was the lamb which
Israel showed should be brought to the

H.. TWO Disciples Following Jesus
(vv. 35-37).
AS a result of the Baptist's testi-
mony, two of the disciples leave him
and follow Jesus. At Johns request
they looked. This look was sufficient
to induce them to follow Jesus. A
sincere look upon Jesus is always
sufficient John did not become en-
vious of Christs success, but re-
joiced in 1t John 3:26-29). All Sun
day school teachers should so witness
that the pupils will look to and follow
Jesus. This is the whole method. the
sum and substance of salvation.
III. The Disciples Abiding WIKI
Jesus wv. 80, 39).
Seeing the disciples following him,
Jesus made inquiry as to their object.
Their reply showed the desire to go
apart privately where they could dis
close their hearts to him. He invited
them to his abode, where for the re-
mainder of that day they enjoyed sweet
intercourse with him.

accomplished with some difficulty. but
it eventually was accomplished and
the lads were brought before Justice

Burglars Get Spoons

About 2.15 o'clock last Monday
night Mrs George Elliott was awaken
ed by noise in her North Grosvenor-
Dale home She got up and lit lamp
but hearing nothing more did not call
her daughter, as she was afraid it
would alarm her.
The next morning when Mrs. Eli
oft went down stairs she found that
the lower part of the house had been
ransacked by burglars. Everything
was turned upside down and drawers
everywhere had been pulled out. As
far as learned all that was missing
were two dozen solid silver tea
spoons, seven solid silver table spoons
and two solid silver dessert spoons.
The burglars broke out screen in
the rear Of the wash house in the ell
and raised window that had been
left unlocked.
1t is understood that other small
hurglaries have been reported, 30
officers are making Investigations.

A series of burglaries and other
crimes that approach the stunts of a
a nickle movie show have been COM
mitted in Thompson since last Fri
day night when someone broke into
the car house near Thompson station
and stole the railroad velocipede used
by the track inspector in going over
his section. The remains of the ma
chine were found Saturday morning
partly lodged against a switch and
the rest scattered along the track.
Entrance was gained by breaking
window The velocipede was out
side the building but was locked with
a chain. Getting heavy sledge from
the section gangs tools it was an easy
matter to unlock" the velocipede.
Apparently the burglars had not
much more than got the machine on
the rails when the Adams Express
train came along, for it is believed
that this is the train that struck the
velocipede and smashed it to bits.

BOUND OVER ON
BIGAMY CHARGE

Mrs. Anna Dawson, employed in a
Putnam laundry, was arrested We'd
nesday on a charge of bigamy and
taken to Pomfret at o'clock in the
afternoon, where hearing was held
before Justice Dryden, Judge Charles
0. Thompson acting as grand juror.
The woman pleaded not guilty.
George Dawson of Jewett City and
John Parker of Pomfret appeared,
and both claimed that the defendant
had married them. Probable cause
was found and the woman was bound
over to the superior court under
bonds of $500. Mrs. Dawson was
brought to the home of Mrs. w. J..
Bartlett and kept over night. An eff
fort was made to raise the bond, but
it failed and the woman was taken to
Jail.
Mrs. Dawson's side of the story did
not come out, and it is understood
that when she does talk in the higher
court the story will be somewhat sem
sational.
It is said that the woman was first
married in San Francisco, secondly
in Westerly, r. l., and married Par
ker at Fishers Island.

CONCRETE PAVEMENT
FOR GROVE STREET
State Willing to Pay Three
Fourths of Cost Estimated
At $4,000

The Improvement of Grove street,
so much needed, has advanced anoth-
err step. Senator Archibald Macdon-
aid has worked hard to bring about
the Improvement of this main trunk
line into the city, and it now looks Al
if it might become a reality in the
near future.
1t is understood that the state high
way department has offered to stand
three-fourths of the expense of lay
ing a concrete -roadway from the cor
ner of South Main and Grove streets
to the cemetery. 1t is estimated that
the cost would be $4,000. This
would make Putnam's share $4,000,
and the states $4,000. This is
most excellent proportion for Put
nam.
This thoroughfare is now one OF
the worst in the city. 1t is one OF the
most Travelled trunk lines leading In
and out of Putnam. 1t is also much
used as far as the cemetery. For
years it has been a source Of regret
to city officials and source of trou-
BILE to drivers of vehicles.

AUTO HITS BIKE
ON BAD CURVE
Henry Shippee Receives Frac-
ture of Left Leg.-Taken
to Hospital
l.. E. Richardson, p. S. Driver
Says He Was On Right of Road

sAt 7.55 o'clock Sunday evening an
automobile driven by L. E. Richard
son of Putnam, public service oper-
ator. collided head on with bicycle
ridden by Henry Shippee of Wood
stock. The bicycle rider was thrown
and went under the car. He received
a compound fracture of his left leg
and is at the Day Kimball hospital.
According to Mr.. Richardson's
story he was driving to Woodstock
with five passengers. Those in the
car were: Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Black
more. Rebecca Taylor, Joseph Harra
and Harold Williams. When he
reached the turn just west of the
Basto place in Woodstock, known as
dangerous corner, Mr.. Richardson
said he took the extreme right of the
road and blew his horn. As he round
ed the turn he met Shippee coming
towards him on his, Shippee's, left
hand side, and the collision occurred.
Mr.. Richardson said he tried to avert
the collision and turned his car up
bank. He also thought that this
would raise the car up, so that if the
man he hit went under it he would
have a better chance.
Following the accident Mr.. Richard
son said he took Shippee in his car to
the hospital. He made arrangements
to have his passengers transferred to
their destination.
Shippee does not remember any
thing about the accident. His chief in
jury is the fractured leg. He is en-
ployed on a farm in Woodstock.

Attempt to Derail Train

Five boys of North Grosvenor-
Dale thought that an easy way to get
kidding wood was to pile up a num-
Der of box cars of the New Haven
road. So, it is alleged, the boys broke
the lock of switch with a hammer
and threw the switch against the train
due in Webster from Putnam at
720 last Friday evening. Only a
change of heart of one of the young
quintette prevented the purpose be-
ing carried out, and as the train is a
passenger train horrible accident
would have resulted with much loss
of life.
The boy whose faintheartedness
prevented the accident ran home and
told his mother what had been done.
The woman gave the alarm and a man

PUTNAM GETS CREDIT
FOR $1,000 w. S. S.
Investment Made By State
Treasurer Cilpatric

Hartford, June 26.-The State of
Connecticut, by means of the State
Treasurer, G. H. Gilpatric of Putnam,
today placed its emphatic seal of APP
prevail on the War Savings Campaign
as conducted this year, when Mr.. Gil
patric purchased $1,000 worth of w.
S. 8. to be retained by the state as a
profitable investment until the date
of maturity, January l, 1924.
AS Mr. Gilpatric is a resident of
Putnam, where he is cashier of the
First National Bank, the sale will be
credited to the City of Putnam, this
considerably increasing its per capita
figures for the month of June. The
stamps will be held as regularly in
vested funds of the state, and will be
deposited with the large number of
Liberty Bonds already held.
81 am a frn believer in the War
Savings movement" said Mr. Gilpat-
ric, "and l intend to do all in my pow
er to bring about realization of the
real merits of W. S. S. as an invest
ment. With the last Liberty Loan
campaign out of the way, it is my
hope that more and more stress will
be laid upon the sale of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps.
81 am sure" he continued, 'that
the campaign of systematic saving
and sensible spending now being con-
Quoted by the Connecticut War Saw
ings committee will result in great
amount of good to all of our citizens
/ hope that many corporations VIII
follow the example of the state and
will buy 81 900 worth of w. S. s., the
maximum amount which any firm or
individual is allowed to hold"

HANDS AND LEGS
BADLY BURNED
Spark Sets Gasoline on Fire
and Ignites Leo Delisle's
Clothing
Flame Was Put Out By Employees

While cleaning an automobile en-
CINE at the Delisle garage, Bridge
street, Tuesday morning, spark
from a part of the motor set some
gasolene on fire. The fame was COM
municated to the clothing of Leo De-
isle, one of the proprietors, who was
doing the work, and he rushed out of
doors. Some of the employees told
him to lie down and he did so. The
men threw dirt on him until the flame
was extinguished.
Mr.. Delisle was burned about the
lower part of his legs and both hands.
He was treated by doctor and taken
home. He was out again Wednesday,
but both hands were bandaged and his
legs also so that he is unable to do
any work at present.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILD
ING
May Be Remodeled Sometime, As
More Room Is Needed

Because an assortment of pictures
of bank buildings were exhibited in
the Putnam Savings Bank recently,
the story was circulated that the Ma
tional Bank was to enlarge its quar-
tiers.
While it is true that the growing
business of the bank demands more
room, the pictures had no special sig
nificance, and no action has been TAX
en- or contemplated for the immediate
future to remodel the building. But
on account of the increasing business
the change is bound to come and it
may be assumed that when it does
come it will mean that the bank will
utilize the little strip on the north
side of the building for its addition.
