The trouble cen- tered. on the Willimantic and Central Village lines, keeping Night Starter John W. Kinney at the Franklin square trolley station till after 2 o'clock this morning, directing in stralghtening out the trouble. On the line betwen here and New London the cars kept up to schedule, | but on the 0,15 @ m. trip from hete to | Willimantle the car ran into ground | resistance at Sugarloaf, above Occum, and was rendered helpless, but man aged to get back to the Occum switch, s0 that the line was not blocked.

The Heavy Rains with Large Quantity of Ice Caused ‘Some to Worry—Trolley Lines Troubled Much by the Storm— High Tension Wire Sets Pole Afire. between South Windham and Willi- mantic and not heard from. It was proposed to send & car up the Central Village line to locate the pole where the high tension line was letting its julice escape, but a freight train passed through after midnight and reported all clear as far as Plain- fleld, 80 that it was decided not to try to locate the trouble until morning. Through switches at the Taftville tun- nel they were able to furnish power for the Willimantic division above Bal c. As early as 7 o'clock in the evening there was similar trouble at the north- ern, or Worcester end, of this trolley division. Around the city the wind made trou- ble on countless teiephone lines and noisy wires bothered in all districts. The city electric lizht devartment got off easily, having only ome arc clrcuit put out of commission, that be- ing on the West Side. Automobile drivers who had occ sion to go out during the evening re- ported floods of water over the road ful {ssue. One of the great things need in life, of course, is concentra- tion, but this may be so overdone as to work injury. We may look 8o long at a single object as to be urable to see anything else; the retina refuses to_give up its object at our command. So then on the Grand Trunk of life, to relleve the tension, break up the monotony and to call other soul forces into action, It is well to get a stop over check once in a while to look at*other scenes and take up other work as a side issue. Great American Hog. One does not travel far on any road without coming up against that well known animal—the great American hog: the man (or woman) who acts as if a single ticket chartered an entire | car. I am sorry to say that we some- times meet with the same animal-on the Grand Trunk of life; men who are following noble pursuits to that extent that they utterly forget their neigh- bors who also are struggling to bring some grand and noble thing to a suc- cessful issue. Still less do they think of, or care for, their fellows outside, whose sins and mistakes and weak- nesses have kept them from ever see- ing the inside of a vestibuled train. 1 am inclined to think that this old world of ours would brighten up a 200d deal if we could knock out sel- fishness. @ One place to use the stop over priv- lege, for the benefit of others, said the | speader, was the station of Hunger ville, but that is not by only plague spot along the line.

The Right Way to Get Rid of Thenr Is by Taking Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. Trial Package Sent Free to Prove It. Many people are continually using lotions and creams on the face and wondering why they make so little per- manent impression upon pimples, blotches and blackheads.

In_the opinion of Constable Gus Lambert's brother, Joseph Lambert, who, is mayor of St Jean de Matha, P. Q was the marine bill and not reciprocity that killed the Laurier party in Canada. The Canadians want reciprocity with the United States on raw materials, but not on manufac- | ed products, and they would not support the Laurier government whose al programms was to Secure twelve warships for the Canadian navy Constable Lambert returned on the noon trein Wednesday on the Central Vermont frem Quebec, after a trip of two weeks in Canada, and gave this as an inside version of the killing of eciprocity by tne Canadians. Con- ctable Lambert's brother is evidently a pelitician to some effect, as he has been mayor of his town for eleven years, is head of the mayors' associa- tion of the county and the owner of a bank. He is posted on Canadian politics and so explained the situation on_reciprocity. Constable Lambert visited his old friend, Louis Cyr, the world-famous sirong man, spending four days there, then went on to his old homestead at St. Guillaume, and finished up his trip with some time at Montreal and Que- Dbec, where he enjoyed :he Mardi Gras sports and racing. He also visited his son, George, 13 years old, who is in school at St. Hyacinthe at the Sacred Heart college. ARCANUM CLUB POOL.
