the day of her death, the idol of the

This marriage provided young Mac

Hardly less in Importance, it

Scotchman is almost a contradiction
of terms-he merely used his new
opportunities to study and travel and
make himself master of whatever
branch of learning he thought he
needed for his life work.
Wife Died I'm 1910
Mrs. Macdonald died in 1910, leav-
ing her husband with five children,
three girls and two boys. Another
son, David, had died a little while
before
But before her death, she and her
husband had been in most parts of the
world tnUaf hor Tho continent nf
Europe; the United States, Canada,
Australia, South Africa, India. This
last was their final trip together.
Macdonald has told his wife's story
in a book, Margaret Ethel MacDon-
add" strangely intimate, appealing
book, which testifies to the unusual
depth of feeling between the two.
The concluding paragraphs are pc
culiarry sweet and tender:
"She was called to sleep whilst it
was still day, and before the chilly
shadows of night came up with dew
wet arms to enfold her.
They say that away in some hid

Near by lies a sword which some
chosen one is to draw when the time
is fulfilled, and bugle which he is
to blow. Then the enchantment will
be broken and they will ride out to
establish reign of justice and bless
edness in the world.
Surely to that secluded cavern a
few others have been borne who have
ears for the trumpet and, if not arms
for the sword, sustaining blessings
for those who WELD it.
"And of those may we not imagine
that she is one, and that there she
rests for but little time, whilst we
grope for the secret which is to set
free the sleepers and bring to the
people the blessing of peace?"
Now the man who penned those
lines has been called to rule an en-
pire-at last, he has the chance to
"set free the sleepers."

L. H. FULLER REACHES
EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY
Entertains Relatives For Day
And Receives Best Wishes
of Friends
Active in Putnam Business for 81
Years.

Lucius II. Fuller, dean Of Putnam's
business men, last Saturday observed
his eightieth birthday. Many friends
took notice of the occasion by send
ing letters or kilograms or personally
offering their congratulations and
best wishes to Mr.. Fuller. His brother
Edward r. Fuller Of Hartford. and
his grandson, Douglas X. Fuller OF
Stockton, California, who Is IN New
York this summer, came TO Putnam,
and spent the day with Mr.. Fuller,
Their presence and the Fluctuations
Of friends made the day an extremely
happy one for him.
Mr.. Fuller has been sixty-two years
in business in this city, has seen
practically all Of the present business
blocks and home constructed. and has
watched the community triple in size.
There is no one engaged in any type
Of business in the city now who was
here when Mr.. Fuller first set up an
insurance office in Putnam.
A Booster for Putnam
Nearly all Of the manufacturing
plants, churches, and other structures
now standing here have been built
during his residence in Putnam. He
recognizes that Of the past few years
the town has been in something of a
business stump due to depression in
the mills. a similar condition to that
existing over all of New England. He
is confident, however, that things will
improve. and he Is most decidedly a
booster for Putnam. And the way TO
keep Putnam on the upgrade, he says,
/ is for US all to pull together, and not
work against each other.
Mr.. Fuller was born in Tolland,
+ August II. lS49, a son OF Lucius s.
and Mary Eliza Bliss Fuller. After
an education there, and for a year at
West Point, he decided he preferred q
+ business career, and made his start in
/ the insurance business in Putnam in
/ 1868 at the age of rs. He is now the
oldest insurance agent in point of SER
vice in Connecticut, and probably in
New England. His activity in this
city has not by any means been con-
/ fined TO the insurance business, for he
has been an officer or director Of
many local corporations.
Serves as Legislator
He has served terms as representa-
tive from Putnam TO the general as
sembly and from this district to the
state senate. For two terms he was
mayor Ct the city Of Putnam. and for
long term of years judge Of the
city court.
tie has been an active member of
the Israel Putnam Lodge Of Odd
Follows, and Of Quinebaug Lodge of
Masons, for many years, holding nu-
merous important offices in the lodges
in the course of his Long local resi-
dence. He IS an active member of the
/ Putnam Rotary club
In 1918. upon his completion OF
fsty years of business activity here
he was rendered a complimentary din
ner by local business men. He has
now reached another milestone, an
occasion for hearty congratulation.
