ECHOES OF nLIGHTNIN,.n

or course there is humorous side
to the question as to the residence
OF Salvatore Butera, the Mayors
choice to all a vacancy in the board OF
public works. II was, and possibly Is
supposed that part OF the home is in
Pennington and part in New Britain.
In which town, then, does Mr.. Butera
live?
Those who saw the late Frank
Bacon in the entertaining play of
'Lightnin' " will recall that the hotel
to which the old man was attached.
was located partly in one state and
partly in another, Divorce was easily
obtainable in the state into which one
part of the hotel projected, and for
that reason those coming thither for
a divorce registered in that part of
the hotel. Those who did not care
to be included in the divorce colony"
registered in the other portion of the
hotel. The complications were anus
ing, and the clever idea of building
a hosiery thus divided SO that no di-
vorce faint would attach itself to some
of its guests, while others seeking di-
vorce might mingle with them, was
profitable. -
Pennington has its attractions. 1t
is a beautiful place, full of historic
traditions. A person from Farming

some people. Many of the rich and
