Miss Hill was thrown the box on which she was standing and but for the quick action of a work- men, might have been seriously in- jured. - The suffrage’campalgners have been ‘holding - factory meetings every day 1his” ‘week and without trouble. But when Miss Hill joined the party things began to happen. Miss Hill said she wanted something hard to do. And with the thermométer at zero, Miss ger, naturally chose a factory meeting from the list of hard jobs. Friday noon Miss Hill was decked out in a regalia of purple, green and white webbing, such as the suffragists al- ways wear for outdoor work. A new Dbag was slung across her shoulder and filled with free literature. Miss Hill had never worn a regalia and she had never before peddled suffrage leaflets from s newsbag. But she took to the situation bravely and started off to- ward the Thread Mill in company with Madame Jeanue Cheruy who speaks in French. At the big gate of the mill they es- tablished themselves in time to catch the lines of workers as they swarmed out for dinner. This is the regular factory meeting hablt of suffragists. They do not try to hold a meeting then with hungry people tearing by them but they hand out their leaflets ONLY ONE “BROMO QUININE” That is LAXATIVE BROMO QUININ Look for .the signature of E. W.

Madame Cheruy begged a box from a grocer and set it up beside the gat Miss Hill thought of her speEch. Had she but known her time and worry was wasted for she bad no sooner started speaking, with perhaps ffty people crowded about her, when the runaway horse appeared. No one say the animal as it came toward them and the horse was a blind old steed bent on getting home for dinner and had started off leaving the grocer Soy to follow as he could. The horse had probably no intention of running away; his testimony in the matter ~annot be taken. Nevertheless he struck the crowd going at a good clip and people flew to the right and left 1s he ploughed through the gathering. le had no intention of stopping on 2is way- to dinner.. The horse struck he box on which Miss Hill was stand- in~ and sent it flying with the suf- fragist tumbled beneath the wagon wheels. It was then that the clever mill Hand came to the rescue, As it turned out nothing happened to cause serious consequences but there was no more speechmaking and Miss Hill and her Frénch assistant were willing to admit they had had enough for one day. The woman suffrage campaign pars ty which has been here since Monday will leave tomorrow for Middletown where thev are scheduled for another week, the fifth of the 12 weeks’ cam- pajgn. Miss Clara Hill is not discour- aged as a result of her experiences for she will remain here over Sunday to speak in South Windham today and on Sunday she speaks hefore the girls’ club of the First Congregational church .
