THE STRANGE CASE OF MISS AN NE sPRACc
 hv io,,,s Rrom6eld

Public singers, if they are wise, re- tire from the stage when their voices begin to show signs of deterioration, it is a pity that writers are not as wise. Two of the recent novels show a great falling off in charm and skill of the authors, both of whom have in the past given us books. not only "best sellers" but of unusual literary value. One of these is Louis Brom- field, who in his latest introduction "The Strange Case of Miss Annie Spragg," makes us sigh for the per lection of "The Green Bay Tree" and Possession. It must be admitted however that the tale of Annie Spragg holds the readers interest, and parts of the book are both strong and appealing; but being as good as it is, 1t should have been much bet ter. There is so much in the story that is unnecessarily unpleasant, for instance the terrible punishment of Annie by her fanatic brother is too awful to contemplate. The mission of the book. is apparently to show the conflict between love and religion. The father of these two people was an unspeakable reprobate. Posing as the Prophet, in fact almost as God Himself, he tells his numerous follow CTS he is Gods instrument, the De- vine Will acts only through him and as His instrument he, Cyrus Spragg, will never die, but live forever in the temple he has built. Watching over his people. The Prophet was however not only occupied in preach 1 ing Co his people. but he had senti- mental relations with innumerabse wO- men in his congregation, giving rise Co terrible scandals. his poor tired wife meanwhile. bearing him thirteen children. Uriah and Annie being the only two in whom he is interested. Uriah, old enough to realize his fathers iniquities, became a morbid, half crazed fanatic. taking upon him self the expiation of the Prophets sins, by giving up his life to the preaching of the Gospel to such as would hear him, and not only killing all natural affections in himself, but endeavoring to do the same to his young sister. The story opens with the death of Annie in Brinoe, small itaiidn cltls AblouUuiuk ItNtidtlpHh are made at her death; the nun who prepared her body for burial, dis covered the stymata on her hands and feet, and the marks of the Grown of Thorns on her browl It was a mira clei Many were ready to proclaim her a saint like St. Francis. At this point a number of people are intro dueed into the story. Here Louis Bromfeld has followed the example of Thornton Wilder. a chapter is de- voted to the story of each of the characters. all of whom are interest ing if not admirable and in some strange way each life is related more or less remotely to the others.
 It is queer mixture, in some places it is difficult to understand just what the author wishes us to think. There IS material for three novels. 80 much that on finishing the book one is likely to have an attack of literary Indigestion, as we'll as dreams induced by certain horrible incidents.
 It is to be hoped when Mir. Brom- field gives us another book he will return to his former style and stand ard.

PUTNAM LOSES ONE
 OF OLD CITIZENS
George Pettis Removes to Farm Near Grosvenordale.-Moves Own Furniture.-Is 93 Years Old.-Born In Pomfret.

George Pettis. 93, was driving his horse. hitched to a lumber wagon, through Main street, Friday. when the horse became frightened and unman- ageable. Had not the man seen the difficulty of Mir. Pettis and grabbed the horse by the bridle. Mir. Pettis would have doubtless been injured.
 This disclosed the fact that MT. Pettis and his son Elmer Pettis, are removing to a farm near the Grosve- Inordales. Thereby Putnam loses one of it's oldest citizens.
 Mir. Pettis was born in the Gary District. At that time, 1885, this sec tion was part of the town of Pom fret but became a part of Putnam when the town was organized from parts of Killingly, Thompson, Wood stock and Pomfret.
 Where Gary Was Born
 It was in this neighborhood that the father of the late Ebert N. Gary, for many years head of the United States Steel Corp, was born. Mr. Pettis later removed to q house on the River Road. This he recently sold He also owned property in the North end of the city. These houses on Providence street, came to be known as the "Pettis Blocks" and were sold I by Mir. Pettis to James F. Donahue some time ago.
 Mr. Pettis is able Co work every day and enjoys good health. He took his narrow escape from injury philoso- phieally out gave due credit to the man who came to his assistance. He was moving household goods and was all alone on the wagon when the dan gerous situation arose.

BOOK REVIEW
THE CHILDREN"
 By Edith Wharton

Those of us who have the habit of reading everything that Mrs Whart- on writes, always hoping for another "Ethen Frome" or House of Mirth, will find in this authors latest work. "The Children" another excellently built story but one containing all of the faults that have marred the tal- ents that gave "The Age of lnnocen- ce" the Pulitzer Prize some years ago.
 The chief trouble with "rhe Child ren" is that Mrs. Wharton has under taken to tell story which has already been told and better told. "The Child ren" is in fantasy so closely akin to "Sanger's Circus" of The Constant Nymph,' that one can but feel that throughout Mrs. Wharton is under the influence of the other novel. But where the mad childhood of the Sang CTS brought reality and life, Mrs. Wharton's fantastic family remains always a group of clever Juvenile DOT traits in fiction.
 "The Children" are the numerous progeny of the various marriages of an American couple of tremendous wealth. Their story involves the mothering of the younger opes by one Judy, eldest of the elan. A rather silly bachelor becomes their guide mentor and friend. In doing so he falls in love with Judy and loses the lady of his purposed marriage. The children spend their lives in escaping from the selfish temperaments of their parents.
 Mrs. Wharton has taken a great deal of trouble in delineating the children. They are amusing hut un- real. Even the mothering Judy is rather absurd. the bachelor friend is an impossible ninny, the veteran English governess is ridiculous. Only in the characterization of the much divorced wife and the love of the bach elor does Mrs. Wharton's almost in fallibie intuition for feminine DOT traiture show itself.
 More and more, as one reads Mrs. Wharton's books with their pictures of Americans and reflections of American life. one realizes that Mrs. Wharton is getting a bit obsolete about her native land and country men. Too much residence in Neuilly has spoiled her point of view. "The Children" gives the impression of having been written to order. It Is mot one of Mra, Wharton's proudest works,

At the noon hour Wm. Nj. Citron of Middletown, candidate for congress, addressed mil operatives on Providence street and Pomfret street as they came from the mills.
 Edward Girard, president of the Putnam Al Smith Club, presided at the rally in the evening Among the speakers were Augustine Lonergan of Hartford. William Nj. Citron. Frank P. Fcnton. Dr. F.. j. Dolan, Manches- ter. Hon. William Palmer of Oxford and others.
 Much interest was manifested in the appearance of Mir. Lonergan, born in Meehanicsyille, noted lawyer and Democratic nominee for the United States senate.
 Matters Discussed Opposition to the exploitation of women in industry and equality of women with men in all political and governmental matters as provided for in plank bearing on that subject in the national platform of the Demo cratic party, adopted at Houston, Texas, in June, was discussed by Mir. Lonergan of Hartford. former Unit ed States congressman. and Democrat ic candidate for the United States senate, in his address.
 MT. Lonergan declared that he had long been in deep personal sympathy with the stand of his party in opposi- ton to the exploitation of women in industry. and had. during the six years he had served as a member of eongress representing the First Con- gressional district voted for every measure which would in any way bet ter the condition of women in in- dusiry. He recalled that the first ob- servance of Mothers Day" on the second Sunday of May, by the sol diers, sailors and marines in service of their country, was due to his per sonal efforts in congress.
 Mothers Day"
 '1 felt so strongly for the bond of love and affection of mothers of our country for their sons in the military and naval service, that I obtained the institution of Mothers Day." where by the men in the army. tho navy or ] the marines were enabled to send messages to their mothers at home, and these messages were carried free by the government and given pre- ferred service over all other mail mat lter. This custom. once established became permanent feature in our military service, and thousands of mothers throughout the country through the aid and eneouragemeEto oi the United States government, re eeive messages from their sons in the service at this particular period O. the year. From this l received more personal satisfaction than perhap' from any other act during my ofiicia stay at Washington" Mir. Lonergar declared.
 ''The children of the nation ars worth every effort we can put fortf in their behalf" said Mir. Lonergan Tt therefore is very easy for me ts coincide most heartily with the pro vision in the Democratic national plat form pledging the Democratic organ ization to program of protection through infancy and childhood as ar important national duty, against ex ploitation."

his hunting outfit or gun with him.

was unable to get the man to under
