 In speaking of this. MT. Prentice said. Tt is true we gave over $3,50O to the St. Francis hospital of Hart ford but I think the sl0.O00 we are asked to give to the New, Britain hospital is not large enough in ratio for the service rendered Berlin people.

10Th PARTIES IN GOOD LUCK
Passengers in Auto and odoriferous
~pussIes" Alike Went on Their
Way Rejoicing.

An unusual sight was witnessed last
week on the road to Onset. A party
OF Brocktonians were autoing to
Bournehurst and on the road this side
Of Onset there suddenly appeared a
black and white patch. The machine
approached the spot at fast rate and
as It drew nearer the mass straight
ened out into a line across the road
There was a gasp Of establishment
and Of dismay, also, for the black-and-
white mass proved to be a mother
skunk leading four little ones across
the street. They were moving very
slowly, so slowly indeed that It was
impossible to stop the car before It
reached them.
Admonitions Of Don't hit them"
were not necessary to the driver Of
the machine, but he was wondering
how be was going to miss them. AS
luck would have It. the mother skunk
just then separated herself from the
four little ones and the machine
passed right over her without harm
ing hair Of the odorous animal.
The passengers, looking back, saw
the mother polecat huddled in the
road. while her offspring had turned
and were streaklng It across the high
way and over the railway tracks into
the friendly bushes. They were right
in the path Of an approaching trolley
car. but negotiated the retreat with
out casualty. Probably the unharm-
ed but dazed mother rejoined her lit
tie flock later. Had the auto and the
skunks met in collision 1t must have
cast a gloom over subsequent pro-
ceedings for the car and its cargo
