BIRD ATTENDS HER

ING YOUNG, SAYS STORY.

Here's a story that goes one bet
ter" the old cobwebbed tale OF the
slow train through Arkansas which
brought to the railways terminal a
bearded patriarch in the place of the
red-cheeked youth who started the
trip as a news butcher.
w. P. Kenny, traffic director of the
Great Northern railway, brings it out
of the west and the Interstate Com
merce Commission must have a rec
ord OF the incident by this time.
1t was on the Great Pendroy
local a tranquil branch line of the far
famed transcontinental Great North
ern railway which James J. Hill built
into the Zone Of Plenty" The undis-
turbing quietude of motion must have
played its part.
The train had stopped at Choteau,
Mont, to unload next weeks" shipp-
ed-in Injuries for the town. Attracted
by a huttering mother bird a dray-
man peered under the baggage car
and there upon the trucks was a neat
nest with young robins in it.
Evidently the parent bird had fed
its young en- route without any diff
Guilty flying from the moving train
to nearby fields and bringing worms
back to the nest at intervals. The
young brood was not molested. They
will leave their nest underneath the
baggage car at some point along the
regular route of this train whenever
they are ready to "hy for themselves, y

BURIAL PLAN FOR TENANTS
OF INTEREST TO LANDLORD

Your tenants know they, too, are
born to die, and many OF them labor
under an overhanging embarrassment
growing out OF their consciousness OF
the burden they must place on you in
their hour Of bereavement. In these
days of crop uncertainties are you
content to shoulder the added risk of
a coffin account on your dead tenant?
Or would you welcome chartered
movement so cheap, convenient and
simple that your humblest tenant
could carry his own burden2 If so,
kindly look into The Farmers Burial
League plan, operated by Walter
Wyatt, organized by some of the
heaviest taxpayers in Terrell and
Sumter counties. If found to yours
and their economic advantage, then
encourage them to take the advantage
OF its protection.

AI.LEGE THAT RYAN
 STRUGGLED IN BEER
Putnam Police Officer Charged With Illegally Transport
 ing Liquor
pl.red Under Arrest Tuesday-fs
 Admitted to $1 900 Bail

Returning from a trout fishing trir an Tuesday, Patrolman John T. Ryan of the Putnam police department. was placed under arrest by Sheriff Charles E. Aver, whose authority was contained in bench warrant issued on Monday at Willimantic by Judge Kellogg of the superior court, the charge being that the officer illegally transported liquor on the night of June 27, 1923. States Attorney Charles E. Searls was the complain ant. Bonds were fixed at sl ,000 and when they were furnished by k. C. Rogers and Frank Witman, Mir. Ryan was released from custody.
 The arrest of Patrolman Ryan was rather of a sensation. coming as it did. as a surprise. It is presumed nat his arrest is the result of charges made against him on April 22 by Mrs. Lea Smith and her daughter, Miss Celia Smith, when they testified at the trial by the city court of Samuel smith, proprietor of the City Hotel, who was charged with keeping fn- toxicating liquors with intent to sell.
 Mrs. Smith and her daughter told court that Mr. Ryan drove an auto mobile load of beer fabout thirty cases of twenty-four bottles eachl from Providence to the City Hotel on the night of June 27, 1923. They testified they saw him at the wheel of the car and saw that the rear of the machine contained cases of beer They also testified that Mr. Smith accompanied MT. Ryan on the trip.
 At this same triai MT. Ryan was called to the stand by the defence and in answer to questions emphatic. ally denied that he had ever partici. pated in any such booze-running epi. sode on the night alleged or any other night.
 Officer Ryan is now on a week: vacation. He has not been suspended from the police force by Mayor Chap ,ielaine of the common council.

Washington. D. c. May 2S.
 The passage of the bonus bill over the Presidents veto and consequent events have overshadowed all else in Washington the last fortnight.
 The bonus passage marked a major defeat for Calvin Coolidge's leader ship. But it also marked one of the most spontaneous uprisings of New England popular opinion that has been witnessed here for many years. As a result those senators and congressman who deserted the leadership of the President in the moment of need are being oxcoriated in print and by word of mouth. Nothing like the rallyine to Coolidge has been seen in political | New England within recent memory Senators Brandegee and Mclean have consequently been spanked and have lost in the hearts of Connecticut people. if one may judge from word reaching Washington. Both of them refused to support the President. Me. Lean said the day of the vote: "Tht word gratitude has been in my die tionary for sixty-six years and | hop 1t will remain there as long as l live. Brandegee said ''I shall vote for ths bonus" Subsequently MT. Mclean wrote letter which has been derides and denounced in the New Englan' press, saying that he voted Co saw Coolidge.-that failure of the bonu would have been harmful to the man | the White House.
 Protest Misrepresentation"
 From all over the state have reach ed this city protests against the "mis representation" of the Connecticu senators. On the other hand. the fou Republican congressman. includin ] Mir. Freeman, who supported the Pres ident in the matter. have been ap . plauded. And many of the letter thanking them for their votes hay damned the two senators.
 Connecticut political observers her } say that il is . lucky thing that neithe i. of the senators comes before the voter this year. This for two reasons: the
