Good MaWnin'-
Judge"

There's some mighty mean folks IN
| this world but about the meanest one
we know of is one that is now on the
| second day Of a Jail sentence OF thirty
Tuesday morning just before the
Mill of Justice started to grind out its
daily toll, while the defenders Of the
| night before were beginning to- con-
gregate about the halls and corridors
of the police, station, in burst George
Burney, negress, two minutes from her
domiciIe at $50 West Belmont street
If there is q worlds record for
straight-a- way, honest-to goodness
hard down running, George had every
appearance of having shattered that
record to smithereens.
Il wants a, pliceman!" she en-
phaticalIy announced to the desk ser
geant as great beads of preparation
stood out on her worried brow. Hon
estly she did seem to be in some ter
rible perplexity But her attempts at
speech were frustrated by natures de-
mand for breath-or to get rid of that
she already had. The strong arm ex-
ponents of law and order sat in a high
state of expectancy waiting for Geor-
gle to sorter cool off. And finally she
did.
It's that man of NINE" she declared
to Capt. Bill O'Connell. He's chased
me nearly all way from home, and if
he catches me he's sho' gwinter beat
me mos terrible, and I wants him put
in Jail"
She told the officer where her dem
onstrative husband could be found.
Cap'n Bill said:
"Say Dan," speaking to Officer Dan
Hall, Ego out and get that negro"
Daniel had witnessed the woman's
expostulations, and no sooner that he
had received the order than he said:
rs he got a gum"
mo, sir, Cap'n I'll tell -
truth, he amt got no gun, but he's
sho some bad niger: he just come
back from the hard roads Friday. He
won't work hisseIf an won't let me
work-in peace"
Officer Hall got him alright, end
that without trouble. And further
more he had him ready for the Mill
when it began it's regular operation
yesterday morning.
With few of the preliminaries over,
Chief Frank let go:
"Chas. Burney!"
The dusky son of Ham, who, George
declared packs a mighty effective nose
bruiser, rose and perambulated. He
answered mot guilty" as usual Geor-
gle unraveled her little spiel thusly:
'Well, Jedge, I'll just tell you how it
started. This niger come home from
the hard roads las Friday and hes
been a worrying me ever since he been
back. was sweeping my floo just as
nice as you please, jedge' and ne
snatched the broom, yes sir, and just
sweeped all the dirt right back on my
floo, and 1 just tell you jedge nit
him, did hit, yes 'ir."
"We1l," the Observer reflected I've
heard of some mean men in my Gays
hut this one takes the chewing gum
door mat" L
with the rendition that Sc him
apart from other sentence passels' the
ledge pronounced these words as
t!nctly:
Charles is row thinking it over.

TURNPIKE TO HARTFORD
IN PAsSABLE CONDITION

Hay and straw is Of use otherwise
than for the feeding and bedding of
cattle, as evidenced by the fact that the
state highway commissioner has used
quantity of such material to overcome
the muddy unfinished section on the
Hartforc-New London turnpike
Commissioner Charles ]. Bennett
states that the new turnpike will be in
very fair and passabie condition the lat
ter part of this week,
He said that the department at first
experimental with bluestone, traprock
and boulders in attempting to fi1 up the
apparently bottomless ruts. Later expert
ments were made by filing the ruts and
holes with hay and straw and this has
met with very good results, as the ma
terial makes a sort of mating Of suf-
helent strength in preventing the wheels
of automobiles breaking through.
The unimproved sections are two in
number and are each abrAt three-quar-
tiers of mile in length, so that the
trip ought not to be so very bad, and of
course the distance is considered less
than by any other route
The work of putting on the shoulders
| on the new state road has begun along
the line and as soon as the ground is
settled the work of finishing the con-
/ eretfRg on the two sections unfinished
will begin, There are about 1000 feet
| in the Dark Hollow section and about the
same between Salem and Chesterfield.

ACTOR GILLETTE THINKS LYME WANTS
TOGET TOO MUCH IN TAXES FROM HIM

William Gillette, the, actor, who has a
summer place at Lyme, can't agree with
the assessors and board of relief as to
the valuation which ought to be placed
on his property in the Lyme grand list
and has taken an appeal to the superior
court from the deings of the board of
relief. They are $4,000 apart, as Gil
iette claims the property is worth no
more than s22,S50 for taxable purposes,
While the board of relief has put his list
for October. 1921, at s5s,S60. He got
some abatement from the board of re-
lief but not enough, he claims
An unfinished stone house on the prop
erty and the actors boats with dock
and basin are the principal items IN
which there is a wide divergence in the
estimate of values, Gillette says the
house ought not to be assessed for more
than $4,000 but the board of relief has
made it $50, 600. On the vessels and
boats the actor puts a taxable valuation
Of $780, with $500 on the dock and bas-
in. The board of relief sees much
greater value than that and calls the
vessels and boats worth $4,000 for tax
alton while the dock and basin are put
in the list at $4,000.

Rheuma Conquers
Rheumatism

People who have been rheumatic suf-
ferers for years-yes, even SO crippled
that they were unable to help them
selves-have been brought back to ro-
bust health through the mighty power
of Rheuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; it often
brings in few days the relief you
have longed for. 1t helps antagonize
and drive from the systems the peisens
that cause agony and pain in the joints
and muscles.
1t is harmless, inexpensive remedy
but gratifying and quick acting, and is
the one discovery that has forced nheu-
matism and .sciatica to yield and dis
appear.
If tortured with rheumatism (any
form) get bottle of Rheuma from Lee
& Osgood Co. today. If it does not rid
you of all rheumatic suffering youI
money will be returned
