Tony is married and has a family of thre he is also a member of the Italian re- serve force. The government has @alled upon him to report for duty at home and he is willing and anxious | to go. But the fact that his yvoungest child is seriously sick is causing him considerable worry. He wants to serve his country but as a dutiful parent he feels that it would be wrong to leave his home and fireside while his child’s life is in danger. LWith a heavy heart and a worried | eXpression on his face Tony left this | morning for New Haven, where he is | to pour his tale of woe into the sym- | pathetic ears of the Italian consul.

When it was first announced that Italy had ggeat conflict Tony daily scanned the papers with enthusiasm. He decided that, as a true patriotic citizen of Italy, ke should return and assist his mothor country in her trouble. He broached the subject to his wife.

With but a tew weeks for the reservists to return to Ttaly, under the penalty of fifteen vears’ imprisonment, it is indeed a rquestion for Tony to solve. He has niready received a passport over to his native country and he is now en- deavoring to secure others for his lit- tle family. Struck By Auto—Bruised.

The prostrate form of the boy was picked up by Mr. Brown and rushed in his auto to the home of Dr. M. H. Griswold of Ken- sington. It was found that no bones were fractured, but that the boy's left leg was badly bruised. He will be confined to his home for several days. Charles Gulong Promoted.

Mr. Butler, how- ever, did not wish to divulge the name of the prospective purchaser until the deal has been completed. The Jacobs place is situated on Worthington Ridge and is considered to be a valuable parcel of land. The beautiful residence, which is situated on the land has been vacated for almost a year, No attention has been paid to it and the house has been gradually going to ruin. With the past few months several would-be purchasers have been look- ing over the place, but its ramshackl: condition caused them to change their minds. It is reported that the price asked for the property is extraordi- narily high because of the large number of mortgages on it. It is said that the Connecticut school fund alone has a mortgage of $7,500 on the real estate.
