He did not en- thuse over the story of his contribu- tions to the mechanical world, al- though he did state that the report from Worcester is true. He has work ed hard and now seeks quiet and rest for further research work among the scenes which were his as a boy. He

Farrar. the box had been kept in the usual place it had been for the past several years. It wal ;n the mornlls. about 10 o'clock, and luckily thero waa not much money in it. Several men camo into the shop. They were known to the blacksmiths, with the exception of one Mr. Farrar and MT. Ha1lock kept on their work and would not have probably noticed the loss had not Mr. !Tarrar gon. to the box to take a dollar out of it. The box was missing. The men were questioned as to whether or not the; had seen any persons enter. It appears that no one had. MT. Farran did not press the matter but claims to know where the u,oney went and wlF take action if the matter is not straighened out soon.
