 A five ton truck belonging to the water company and loaded with 2.000 fee. of green lumber crashed through the bridge over the Aspetuck river on Lazy street near the school house below Jump Hill on Thursday last. The bridge stands or rather stood at an elevation of about twelve feet above the stream. Two men were on tho truck at the time of the acci- dent. but the sound of breaking tim bers gave them warning of the im- pending disaster in sufficient time to enable them to jump and safely es- cape. SinEularly enough the truck was only slightly damaged by it's fall. The bridge was entirely demolished and work on a new structure to re- place it has been started.

There are about 800 islands In the
group Of Bermuda islands, but only
about a score of them are inhabited.
Their total population Is about 10000.
of which about one.third are white.
The Bermudas attract visitors because
of the mild climate, which knows no
frost, and by their scenic beauty. The
evergreen islands are clustered with
exotic plants of numerous variety. The
roadways are bcjeweled and scented
with sweet smelling flowers, the shores
are penetrated by crystalline coral
pools and the waters about are noted
for their ever-chnnging and vivid
color.
The islands lie or the coast of
North Carolina. about rs far as Cleve-
land Is from New York. and ut about
the same latitude rs Charleston, Fort
Worth and San Diego. They are CIT
miles from New York.

As luck would have II, the loss. or
rather the theft OF Henry p. Tobias
narrative was not so serious as II ut
FIRST seemed, for 1t fortunately CHANGED
that John Saunders had had Ii copied /;
but the theft remained none the less
mysterious.
However, leaving that mystery for
later solution. John Saunders, Charlie
Webster and I spent the next evening
In n general and particular criticism
OF the narrative itself. There were
several obvious objections to he made
against its authenticity. To start with,
Tobias, at the time OF his deposition,
was an old man-seventy-iive years
old-and II was more than probable
that his experiences rs n pirate would
date from his early manhood; they
we're hardly likely to have taken place
rs late as his fortleth year. The mar
rative, indeed, suggested their taking
place much earlier. and there would
thus be a space of ut least forty years
between the burial OF the treasure
and his denthbed revelation. II was
natural TO ask: Why during all those
years did he not return and retrieve
the treasure Tor himself? Various
circumstances may have prevented
him. the inability from lack OF means
to make the journey, or what not
but certainly n would need to imag-
Inc circumstances of peculiar power
that should be strong enough to keep
n man with so valuable IA secret in his
possession so many years from taking
advantage OF 1t.
For n long while. too, the names
given to the purported sites Of the
treasure caches puzzled us. Modern
maps give no such places as dead

back to 1903, we came upon one of

Thousands Have Kidney

Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with

influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of tho
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re.
jected is because kidney trouble i, so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica

that they have the disease. II is on sale
