Fremont Buddington Disputes Confes- sion Alleged \lo Have Been Made. Fremont Buddington of Poquonoc takes exception to the charges that his -son, Roy Buddington, set fire to the Poquonoc schoolhouse, to which he has confessed. It was stated that the boy had confessed to the crime at the Norwich state hospital, where he Is now confined. As soon as he heard of the report that young Buddington had confessed; N. S. Joseph of New Lon- don, who'is engaged to the boy’s sis- ter, went to Norwich--by motorcycle. \| He arrived.at the state hospital early Wednesday evening and saw Dr. Pol- lock, the superintendent. Mr. ~Joseph says that Dr. Pollock told him that no one had been there to securée a confession from the boy and that no one would be allowed to in the mental condition in which young Buddington now is. Mr. Buddington says there are many things which voint strongly to the innocence of his son in this crime. “The night of the fire,” he says, “Roy was home. We had some company and was up shortly before 12 o'clock mi sht and I heard Roy snoring sound- s room.

For the great- er part of alleged female tralts are merely human traits, and as common in_men as in_women. T g0 not belieye the anclent fictions that woman is the weaker vessel, that she jumps at conclusions instead of reasoning to them, that she is natur- ally better than man, that she is more domestic, that she is superstitious and credulous, that she is all heart and no head, and such similar time-honored mob-orthodoxies. I believe that the reason she seems to have merited these judgments is to be found in custom and environment. It has been assumed that she is o, and it is beyond humen nature for the generality of folks not to be what everyone expects them to be. Adg to this that most of the philos- ophizing on this subject has beep done by males, and very naturally theéy have credited the weaker and less creditable elements of character to the sisters. At least Lafontaine's verses are true: “Rien ne pese tant qu'um secret; Le porter loin est difficile aux dames; Et je sais meme sur ce fait Bon_nombre d'hommes qui femmes.” /(Nothing weighs heavier than a se- cret; it is hard for ladies to carry one far; and on_this point I know even quite a number of men who are wo- men). Go on describing feminine qualities, it you are of a mind to, but do not forget that “there are quite a number of men who are women.” sont Stray Bullet Enters Window.
