Third and Best Wife
of John Milton, Poet

But Elizabeth, 1.-THE third and best
wife Of John Milton, poet" had to live
most frugally. and 1t became common
In Nantwich to speak of keeping Mrs.
Millions feast, enough and no more.
Her piety was never the absorbing fac
tor In her life that 1t was In her hus-
bands, but she was q "General Bap-
list" and she attended chapel regu-
larly. She died at the age of eighty
nine, having survived her husband
more than flfty-three years. and out
lived most Of her relatives. Everyone
had apparently forgotten her connec-
tiou with the poet, for although her
funeral sermon was published, the
worthy parson saw no reason to mem
ton her famous husband In 1t. and
In fact used the dead lady merely az
peg on which to hang certain theo-
logical doctrines.
Elizabeth was truly model of good
management. for she had contrived to
live for flfty-three years on the 600
pounds left her from her husbands
estate. When she died she had only
thirty-eight pounds, eight shillings.
and fourpence in the world. which she
left. together with her household
goods, to a number Of relatives and
friends, most of whom. however, she
had survived.
There were more than one hundred
items In the inventory Of her estate.
and this "true and perfect inventory"
is rather pathetic document. as all
such lists must be. Among other
things 1t includes 70 quilts and pair
of blankets, old patched ones" valued
at ten shIllings; ~ teaspoons and !
silver spoon, with q seal and stoppe.
and bits Of silver; "a totershell
knife & fork with other old ones";
q pair spectacles"; and, relics Of past
days, 70 books of Paradise" Mr.. NIL
toms pictures and coats of arms" "the
best suit Of twad cioathes," the
'worser do" and 70 pair Of ruffies''-
Hthese cloathes valued at three shill-
Ings, and one and six, ruffles at two
shillings." The final proof of Eliza
beth's devotion to her husband Ia here,
For no wife would cherish the ''worser"
suit of s'twad cloathes" for fifty-three
years unless she had been more than
! little fond of the man who once wore
them.-Dorothy Gardiner In the North
American Review.

viii Grow Frog Legs

A shipment of eastern bull frogs
arrived in Orofino Wednesday after
noon from the southern part of the
state and was taken by deputy game
warden Walrath to various parts of
this section of the county where they
were put into mill ponds and other
bodies of water for stocking purposes.
The frogs were sent here by the state
game department and were taken to
waters where requests were sent in for
them. The idea is to propagate them
for eating purposes. Mr.. Walrath
stated this would be the only shipment
of them to come here for the year

Superstitions
BY H. IRDING KING
THE NEW MOON

ITO SEE the new moon over the right
4 shoulder brings good luck: over
the left shoulder bad luck. This super
stition Is general throughout England
and the United States-except in Ala
bama where 1t is said they consider 1t
better to see the new moon first over
the left shoulder. 1t Is curious how
they should have become twisted" in
Alabama, for the whole explanation of
the superstition points to the right
shoulder as the fortunate one to see
the moon over. The idea Of luck In
connection with the new moon is
survival from the days when the cres-
cent was the symbol of Isis, "from
whom came all that was good and
beautiful among men," Thousands of
years ago by the banks of the Nile men
accounted 1t lucky to see the symbol
of Isis in the sky, as men do today by
the banks of the Mississippi though
most of the latter never heard of the
goddess. AS to the right shoulder part
of the superstition that Is similar In
origin to the superstition about getting
out of bed right foot first and springs
from an association Of ideas, facts and
words thus: Most normal people use
preferably the "starboard" hand to do
things with, which thus becomes the
right hand to use and by extension
the term right has come to be APP
piled to all that side of the body. To
see the new moon fright" see 1t over
the fright" shoulder 1t may be asked
why over the shoulder at all7 1t Is
because of the idea associated with the
word fright in fright shoulder"

WOULD PAY $50
Thompson Residents See Justice of
 Putnam Fire Dept. Fee

Desire on the part of property owners in the vicinity of Thompson Common, to secure the services of Putnam fire apparatus and men, in he event of fires. even at the nomi nal charge of $50 for such calls for aid. was manifested Tuesday night in a report made to the mayor and common council by Ralph E. rhurston, chief of the local fire de- partment.
 Mr. Thurston stated that Thomp- son village had made known it's willingness to pay $50 for such ser vices. this charge being suggested, not to pay for the service rendered. Tor that would be invaluable. but for wear and tear on the motor ap- paratus dispatched in response to the s. O. S.
 If the proposition was acceptable so Putnam the apparatus would be called only bv Mr. Herrick or Mir Backus, who would alone be au- .horized to make the request. And .hey would send in their summons lnly if there was ample water avail able SO that the Putnam apparatus would be of service or the chemi- gal equipment alone would cope with q dangerous situation.
 The proposition was referred to he common council committee on fire department with authority Co enter into an agreement with the Thompson Town residents making Inc proposition, if the committee bought that such q course was ad gisable.

 INJURING TWO MEN
Danielson Crash Sends Boston Residents to Day kimball
 Hospital
Michael Green May Lose Les=A.
 Furnan Seriously Hurt

As a result of an accident on Rey- holds street, Danielson, close by the corner of Main street, early last eve ming, when the automobile in which they were riding crashed into a tree, Michael E. Green and Abraham Fur nan, both of Boston, are patients at the Day Kimball Hospital
 Mir. Green sustained a fracture of his leg at the knee that is of so serious a character that amputation of the leg will undoubtedly be necessary. Mr. Furnan remained in a state of coma for hours after the crash and though he has an ugly wound on his forehead, it is believed that his condi- ton is the result of concussion of the brain. rather than fracture of the skull His leg is also severely lacer- ated. Though very seriously injured. the men are not regarded as in critical condition at this time.
 Mr. Green. who was driving the car, said that in turning the corner at the he let his eyes leave the road long enoug to take look at direction signs pointing the way to Providence. When his eyes went back to the road, he found that the ear was headed for a big elm tree. The crash, then, could not be avoided.
 The machine was almost demolished by the impact with the tree.
 Mir. Green was taken immediately to the hospital. but Mir. Furnan was to the office of Dr Todd. close by. where he was treated for a time. but was later taken to the hos pital.

J J. McCarry To Command
 NeW Infantry Company Here
PUTNAM EXMAYOR IS APPOINTED CAPTAIN OF 43D DIVISION HEADQUARTERS TO BE ORGAN
 HEED AT ONCE
Mir. McGary Served In Former Local Military
 Eleven Years-Lieu,enant When Dsbanded

Putnam is te have the headquarters company of 4Srd Division, National Guard and John ]. McGarry is to be it's captain,
 These facts became known this morning when 1t was learned that, acting for Governor Templeton. Ar jutant General George M Cole had appointed former Mayor MeGarry as captain of infantry in the Connecti- cut National Guard and has assigned him to active and immediate service and directed him to start at once to recruit the new local company. Mr. McGarry has accepted and hopes ha will have 100 per cent cooperation from all local citizens in the discharge of his duties.
 Many months ago there appeared to be much interest in the proposition to organize In Putnam a tank company to be a part of the national guard that Is now being reergahized in New Eng. land states. This side of the situation did not get beyond the talking point, however, for reasons that were well founded.
 Chamber of Commerce Acts The next thing heard about the question was when A. Newton Vai- ghn, president of the Chamber If Commerce. took up the matter with the board of directors following re- ceipt of letter from John B. Byrne. state bank commissioner, who IS ti- nance officer in the 43rd Division, with rank of major, Mir. Ryrne re- euesting the active interest and sup port of the Chamber in making it pos- sihle to secure the headquarters com pany for Putnam.
 From this time on events moved swiftly, State Treasurer C. Harold Gilnatric. Chamber of Commerce di- rector. with Mr. Vaughan and Mir. Byrne, turning every stone possible to secure someone tn lead the proposed military company in Putnam.
 Tint they succeeded and that Ad- jutant Cole approved of their recom- mendations. Is disclosed by the ap- neintment of Mr. McGarry.
 New Captain Twice Mayor
 Captain Me6arry. who has becn twice mayor of Putnam, ia an old timer" in point of years of service, as Il national guardsman. For eleven years he was identified with the com mand that Putnam boasted for years. At that time. in 1904, when the com- mnnd dishanded. Mir. McGarry held l the rank of lieutenant.
 During the war Mir. McGarry serv- ed as captain of Company L of the State Guard that was organized and maintained in Putnam, as were similar units all over the country. 1 IL is a distinct feather in it's cap' l for Putnam to have the privilege of having the ,liyssian headquarters com pany and one which the city will fully appreciate. That the city will prob ably eventually have an armory to 1 house the new company seems an as- sured fact, if Putnam citizens give the proper support Co the new military command.

 From another sourse of information The Patriot IS informed that 1t is the newest manufacturing unit, the three story brick structure on Conal street, that is to be split up and leased to different manufacturers. It IS report ed that one concern has already clos ed a lease for one floor of this mill structure The Patriot was unable to learn at any source that is regarded as entirely reliable, how soon 1t will be before the familiar and welcome sound of machinery in operation will be heard in the Manhasset property. there are numerous rumors and reports ahoat, concerning the plans of interests headed by MT.
