On his spirited horse he set out at full speed. A he wheeled into the main road several British soldiers also on horseback saw him and started in pursuit Putnam spurred his horse. The British chas. ed him for quarter of a mile and almost caught him. He rounded a sharp turn m the road with one of the horsemen only two lengths behind him. The road was on the edge of a precipicc Straight out from the highway Putnam turned his horse. He dashed toward the precipice. plunged over the edge and down a flight of stone steps His pursuers held their breath in astonishment. No one dared to follow him. They fired after him and as bullet whizzed through his cap he waved his sword at them. Hatless he dashed into Stamford, got endorsements. and returned to meet the enemy but they had gone.
 Governor Tryon sent Putnam new suit of clothes and new hat to take the place of the cap which had been pierced by the British bullet This Naa not only to show his appreciation of PutHam's bravery. but because of his kindness to some wounded British soldiers

History Stories Of
 Connecticut
Israel Putnam

When the English first settled in ,-a,nsetieat there were many wild -.sr,als living in the woods. Tn, .-sIyas killed sheep and other domes. .;s animals. When this happened the -.stlers hunted out and killed the -.,,,sls that had done the damage f- this way the most dangerous and troublesome beasts were destroyed. Tbsv did not entirely disappear, how s,.ey for even a hundred years after ,be first settlement was made the Connecticut farmers occasionally .woke in the morning to find that so,,e of their flocks and herds had heen killed during the night.
 In i743 many sheep were killed in ,be town of Pomfret. One morning . voung farmer named Israel Putnam weLt to his barn and found seventy .beep dead. He knew this must De tbs work of wolf and with five of 5is neighbors he set out to find 1t.
 They tracked the wolf to the Con- seeticut River and back tQ Pomfret After following the animal all night fbqv chased t into its den about tbree miles from Putnam's house. The den was on the side of a steep craggy hill and extended into the ground and under huge granite boulders for thir- ty or forty feet.
 How could they drive the wolf out2
 Many men assembled around the mouth of the den with guns ready to destroy the beast. First they sent dogs into the den, but they soon rush d out frightened and wounded and would not 20 back.
 Then the men determined to smoke tbe wolf out. Straw and sulphur were burned inside the mouth of the cave still the wolf did not come.
 All day the men worked but accom- pHshed nothing.
 It was ten o'clock at night when Putnam pulled off his coat and vest.
 What was he going to do?
 He was going into the cave.
 He tied one end of long rope AF0uHu Ills hEAklt anu AAAd tAit iiANu Ab hold the other end. When he kicked they were to pull him back.
 Taking a lighted bireh-bark torch in his hand he crawled into the dark hole and went slowly forward about twenty-five feet. He saw the fiery eyes of the beast gleaming in the darkness at the farther end of the cave.
 The wolf growled fiercely and snapped it's savage teeth. Putnam kicked the rope and his friends drag eed him out of the den so quickly that his shirt was pulled over his head and he was severely scratched and cut by the rough stones
 Then he took his gun which was aaded with nine buckshot and crawl ed back into the den. The wolf growl- d louder than before AS the beast @prane al him he fired. Then his friends dragged him back.
 They listened. All was quiet in- -ide.
 Then Putnam erawled into the cave and approached the wolf He touch ed its nose with his torch, but the ami mal did not move. The wolf was dead.

 < few years later Israel Putnam had many opportunities to show hi. bravery When the French and Indian War broke out there was call for volunteers to fight against the French, Putnam was one of the first men m Connecticut to respond
 Leaving his wife and boys ta take care of the farm, he started for Al. bany in the summer of 1755. He fought brayeiy in the battle of Lake George and as a scout ran great risks to get information about the enemy and their plans
 In i756 he was with General phin- eas Lyman at Fort Edward. Every night the Indians prowled around the fort looking for chance to kill some of the men. Night after right the sentinels at a particular post disap- yeared.
 Strict orders were given hy the commander that any sentinel who heard a noise in the night should cry out three times, Who goes these 2'' Then if he received no answer he should fire q the place from which the noise came.
 Still another sentinel was missing each morning The soldiers became so frightened that no one would voI- unteer to act as sentinel. Putnam was an officer. but he volunteered aad took his place at the post where SO many hai been lost.
 About midnight he heard q noise in the grass. Aiming his gun in the di- reetion of the noise he cried three times. "Who goes there?n Then he fired. \ eroaH came from the grass. Going to the spot Putnam found he had shot an Indian wearing a bear skin to make himself look like bear.
 Later in the war Putnam and five other rangers were on the eastern bank of the Hudson River when they were suddenly surprised by a band of Indians Putnam and four of his men jumped into their boat and push ed it into the swift current which car ried them down into the rapids The Indians watched them in amazcment for no boat had ever passed through those dangerous rocks. Putnam's skill guided the boat to safety and the Indians declared that he and his com panions must be under the special pro tection of the great spirit
 Soon after this Putnam and his troops were suddenly attacked by a party of French and Indians. \ pow erful Indian chief sprang upon Put nam and took him prisoner. He was dragged into the forest and tied Co a tree. For more than aH hour the bat tie ragged about him Bullets struck the tree and several passed through Putnam's coat One savage tortured him by hurling his tomahaWk at the tree again and again, go that | struck as near his head as possible. \ French. man took aim to shoot him but his gan missed fire.

 When She Indians discovered th.s they determined to roast Putnam alive They bound him to a tree. piled brush around him. and set the brush on fire The flames roared and leap ed higher. The savages ehouted with joy and drew closer and closer aroun their Victim. Just as the ire reached him a French officer rushed forward. scattered the burning brush. and say- cd Putnam.
 The French carried him to Canaas and later he vas exchanged for French prisoners and returned tu his home in Connecticut
 The next year Putnam was with General Amherst and his army on the way to attack the French al Mon treal. As they entered the St Law renee River they saw a French ship ready to attack them Putnam said to General Amherst, General. that ship must be taken r
 T would give the world fl she were taken.h replied General Amherst.
 ''I will take her"
 How 2''
 Give me some wedges and beet le and some men of my own choos- ing
 That night Putnam and his men cn- tered their boat and rowed through the darkness SO quietly that they reached the French ship without be- ing heard. Putnam drove the wedg- es behind the rudder and into the little cavity between t and Che ship The next morning the crew could not guide or control the ship The wind drove it ashore where if was easily captured by the Americans.
 After this ingenious capture Put nam was often called upon to give advice and assistance in plans which required good judgment. ingenuity. and courage He helped the English to capture Havana. He fought against the Indians He was leader among the Americans when war broke out between the colonies and England. Connecticut appointed him Lieuten- ant-Colonel of a regiment of soldiers and he trained his men SO thoroughly that they were prepared to fight well at a moments notice
 On the 18th of April, l775, the British soldiers fired upon the Ameri- cans at Lexington and Concord. The next morning as Putnam was blowing on his farm in Connecticut. q messen- ger from Massachusetts brought him the news of the battle. Leaving the blow in the furrow without stopping to change his clothes be hurried to Governor Jonathan frumhull for or ders. He was told to join the Ameri- can troops at Boston.
 After spending the rest of the day planning with his officers and giving orders to his men, he mounted his horse and rode all night In eight. eeH hours he covered f20 miles. He visited the American camp tt Cam bridge and the battlefield at Concord

TASTES FOR NEWS DIFFER

Consider that two newspapers are before you
The headings to the news articles on the frs
page of one paper are modest.
A sensational "scare head" in big type stretch
es across the first page of the other paper
+. Which one will you read first?
Nine out of ten people will make dive fol-
the sensational sheet, because there is chance
for thrill. They may question the accuracy
of its statements, but they will read it.
That is a condition which faces the newspaper
field today-a condition which the country pres is
combating daily at financial sacrifice.
This is an age of thrills, and the public demands
to be properly thrilled, especially in the large
centers of population. If the editor doesn't come
across with his thrills the people do not come
across with their money.
Take the Fatty Arbnckle case.
The legitimate news element in that unsavory
mess could have been contained in a column
article Instead, the daily press devoted page
after page to it, dwelling at length upon every lit
tie Insignificant incident Nothing was omitted.
1t was indecent therefore it was thrilling and in
demand NNF@
A rich man and his wife returned from Europe.
They were estranged. Immediately the fact was
spread over the first page of their home papers,
and columns were devoted to vulgar display
of their unhappiness.
Why! Not because the editor glories in that
sort of thing especially. He knows it is the kind
Of stuff the people of his city want 1t is the
stuff that sells his papers 1t is nauseating, de-
basing therefore thrilling and in demand.
The city editor is not entirely to blame for
this condition He depends upon his salary to
feed his family, and his salary is forthcoming
only as long as he makes good on his job. If he
: doesn't kick in with the stuff he is kicked out
into the street.
The local country paper does not resort to such
practices. 1t would not be tolerated in small
community such as ours, especially if it referred
: to our own people.
Then too, our local people, or many of them,
may read the thrillers concerning other people,
in other communities, but they are not properly
educated down to the point of dragging their own
relatives and friends through the mire Of sensa-
tiOnal publicity.
It is an age Of thrills, but our own must bel
