But as two negatives do things affirm, they still kept coming in at every turn, turkeys and jellies and fruits of the fall, and groceries and dainties 'twas hard to count them all. For two days did the work go on to make a perfect list that not a single package there by ac- cident be missed. So they kept wr ing page on page, and counting with a raging wage as tho’ it were a wag- ing wage that would go marching down the age. And when they'd fin- { ished great was their concern which every way their minds they'd turn: How could they thank each giver as of yore? there were so many more than heretofore, all to be listed, and what's more, a card of thanks to us to be left at every giver's door! You know, kind friends of our dear hos- pital, such gifts, the heart, the soul to gratitude uplifts. We long to give each name right here—will you not kindly wait until the reports at the close of the year give the full and clear? Typewritten pages, in number fort eight, the full account of all the gifts relate—some merely say “A Friend’'— altho’ the full name and contents we recommend to write on every pack- age that is sent. But who can bet- ter do or do much more than just his best with or without name? For in the end he is a frlend who doth his gift with kindly purpose send.

Formed Eruptions, ltched Badly, —_— HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT — of “My little girl was five years old when a rash broke out on her back and arms and also all over her face. When it first came out it was very red and then it began to form into eruptions like smallpox, and her face was so full of the eruptions that you could not put a pin head between them, and her cyes wero closed. She was a terrible sight. She cried night and day the eruptlons itched &0 badly, and I had to tie her hands so that she could not scratch. She also Lad a fever and was sick. “The rash was very bad for three weeks. Then I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ofntment and the eruption began to heal and after using three cakes of Cuticura Boap and two boxes of Olatment she was healed.” (Signed) Mrs, Watson Haines, Garnerville, N.

Morgan & Co. of the proposed sale of a limited amount of | short-term British and French treas- ury bills at the request of the allied governments, announced at New York yesterday, came as a surprise to the financial community. The announce- ment issued from the Morgan offices stated that the action of the British and French governments was taken out of regard for the attitude adopt- ed against the sale by the federal re- | serve board. The surprise was | heightened the fact that all ar- rangements for the offering had been perfected. Other plans to finance the pressing needs of the British and French gov- ernments are already under way, it is understood, but they have not yet reached a definite stage. A member of the Morgan firm informally stated that no other plans had been formu- lated, but it was learned from reliable sources that the denial had been made as a matter of policy. The plans un- der contemplation, it 1is intimated, will involve a large amount of “dol- lar credits,”” available to Great Brit- ain, if not to her chief ally. British institutions and private in- vestors still retain large amounts of American securities, although they have been largely mobilized by the British treasury. There have been no cancellations of orders for war sup- plies or any other materials to the countries of the entente allles, ac- cording to the bankers acting for those iInterests, and no appreciable diminution of orders is expected. The British government continues to hold large reserves of gold in Can- ada and the more remote colonies, and these reserves, it is believed, will be employed to meet immediate ex- igencies, including stabilization of ex- change. SWITCH LEFT OPEN ENGINE CREW DIES Express Grashe;_filto Freight Through Brakeman's Mistake Beacon Falls, Dec. 2.—Two train- men were killed, two passengers ser- iously hurt and several others re- ceived minor injuries last night when the northbound Winsted express from New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad ran into an open switch and plowed through a standing freight train on a siding near this place. The | engineer and firemen of were pinned at their posts and prob- ably were scalded to death by es- caping steam from the boiler. The dead are: Eugene Lake of Bridgeport, en- gineer of express train, Charles Slack of Waterbury, fireman of express train. The most seriously injured were: Joseph Wright and Augustus Merkle, both of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., who were stealing a ride on the rear of the tender of the express train. Mer- kle has a broken arm and scalp wounds; Wright has severe lacera- tions about the head and body. They were taken to St. Mary's hospital, Waterbury, where it was said they would recover. Both had miraculous escapes from more serious injury. Wright being hurled through the locked door of the baggage car, while Merkle was pinned against the beams of the vestibule of the baggage car. The engine rammed its way through the caboose and three of the freight cars, setting them on fire. express train left the track. The passengers were tossed about in all directions, but only a few were hurt enough to require the services of physiclans. The accident occurred just south of the Beacon Falls station at 7 o’clock. | ‘Within half an hour practically all of the passengers had boarded trolley cars for Waterbury and other points. Almost coincident with the crash, the wrecked freight cars sprang into flames. E. R. Erler, who lives nearly opposite the scene, telephoned for | the fire department and ordered tele- phone operators to summon physicians from nearby towns. The firemen ex- tinguished the bla in short order. cians responded to the call, but there was little for them to do. Medical Examiner F. J. Tuttle gave orders to railroad workmen to remove the wreckage in order to reach the engineer and fireman. The tender had been partly hurled over the en- gine cab. and both men: seated at their stations were weighted down un- the expre: der the mass of twisted iron and steel. At a late hour the work of clearing the tracks was progressing slowly. Medical Examiner Tuttle acting for the coroner, late last night ordered the flagman of the freight train, W. Falls police According to the story, Her- is said to have told the station. shenroder medical examiner he placed torpedoes on the tracks but nezlected to close the switch. The freight was on the siding 40 minutes before the express was due. Wright and Merkle, who are at the hospital, were ordered held for the coroner also. AFTER' WEBSTER HILL GANG.
