NEW YORK, July 14.--The fifteen
million-dol state of Michigan
twenty-year SIX per cent bonds went
off rapidly as soon as the subscription
books were open this morning. They
were all sold by 1850 o'clock, which
is better time than any new issue re-
Gently has made. These bonds were
offered at 103, on a $50 basis, and
being tax exempt. with fairly long
maturity. naturally proved very at
ira actiVe.
The general bond list was rather
more irregular, but with recent ad-
vances well sustained and with good I.,a
volume of business. The railway list
was inclined to mark time. but the
fact that there was a ready demand
around the high prices reached in the

lively investment power. Rock Island

down somewhat from their high, and
Union Pacific IS dropped off from

were an exception. breaking another
two points to 42b.
Among the industrials the feature
was the heavy dealings in Cuba Cane
Sugar Is. At the opening these bonds
continued their rally, getting up to
60A-nearly four points above their
low. Later in the day they receded
below 60 again.
Libertys Shade Higher.

 As for the imaginary lions with which too many of us have too much to do, they don't call for even an imitation hot poker. A p:tchfork or damp dish cloth is usually quite sufficient weapon to scare them out of the way.
 Indeed, not so much is necessary. It is generally amply effective merely to walk LID to the big bluff and say to it: You're no lion. You're not even a de- cent imitation of one You're mere section of nothing. cut out of a last years fog-bank Get out of my way, or I'll say boo at you and kill you dead"
 If we had been in Africa with Roose- welt and had real lions snarl:ng around our tents at night such treatment might not have been appropriate or adequate.

Residents of the village have long felt the need of a traffic policeman at the four corners at the car station, as au- tomobiles passing this point run at a high rate of speed, generally without signalling. The need of such a man has been more keenly felt since the recent accident to the Luty and O'Connell boys, although this acident occurred a short distance above the corner. However it is a dangerous road for the school chil- dren as there are no sidewalks and they are obliged to use the road where the au- to traffic cannot be seen around the curves and the trolley track runs on the other side of the highway.
 Children's day will be observed by the Methodist church Sunday morning. June 18th, with a special programme in the church at 10.45 a. m.. in place of the regular preaching service. The Sunday school session will be omitted on ac- count of the parade in New London at three o'clock in which the school will participate and the truck which will transport those who wish transportation will leave at two o'clock daylight say ing time.
 Considerable damage was done to one of the trolley cars operated between Nor wich and New London Saturday evening when it ran into one of the large trucks of the Massasoit Mfg. Co.,. of Oakdale The truck was standing across the track in front of the Dart cottage, in Uncas- vile. and the trolley was approaching from New London. As the motormar saw the truck. he applied his brakes bu as the car neared tbe truck for some un known reason. the air brakes let go ant the car crashed into the truck. whicr { remained undamaged, but the front O l the trolley car was smashed. No orr was hurt. as the motorrnan jumped iron l the car and no onewas on the truck a
