DIED AT POLICE STATION. Man Believed to Be Joseph Bousquet Had Uraemic Poisoning. A man believed to be Joseph Bous- quet, aged about 45, died at the police station here Thursday afternoon. The man was a traveling mill worker who from time to time drifted into this section and was last employed, so far as Is known, at the mill in Attawau- san A pay envolope of the Attawau- Ban company was taken from a pocket of his cicthing and had a date of Sep- tember 16, 1916. Wednesday night Bousquet was ly- ing face downward just off the state highway running from Dayville to At- tawaugan. Constable Michael B Grimshaw of Attawaugan was notified of the man's condition by a resident of the neighborhood. When the con- stable arrived there he found that the man was seemingly unconscious and Ar. Grimshaw's first impression was that the man was grossly intoxicated, or else had been struck by an automo. mile. Bousquet was taken to Danfelson and a physiclan summoned. Dr. George M, Burroughs saw the man and decided that he was suffering from uraemio poisoning. Bousquet's condition was 80 serious Thursday forenoon that it was evident that he could not live long. Constable Grimshaw removed him from the cell where he had spent the night and laid him on a cot placed in the corridor of the cell room, There Beusquet died. ‘The body was taken in charge by a local undertaker.

Putnam’s first real Columbus day celebration Thursday afternoon proved a splendid attraction, a good adver- tisement of the progressiveness of the city, and manifested the patriotism and ability to do things of the Italian residents who conceived, worked for and successfully carried out the en- terprise, in which they were gener- ously aided in various ways by citi- zens, business men, town and city offl- cials, fraternal organizations and many others, A Splendid Parade. The parade, of which so much had been said, drew hundreds of people to seek vantage points along the line of march. Marshal Rev. C. J. Harriman and his aides sot the parade moving within a_very few minutes after the scheduled hour and saw that # moved over the route without a hitel How the Line Moved. . As a spectacle the parade was very interesting. At its head was Chief Joseph A. Ryan and a platoon of ‘po- lice, Chiet D. Arnold und other officers of the fire department being next in line immedtately foliowing the St. Jean band of Webster, which was near the head of the column. In or- | der came the members of Chemical company No. 4, Fred Bruce driving the auto truck; Hose company No. 2 and apparatus; and Hook and Ladder company, Wwith truck. The fire department is entitled to many compliments for the srand ap- pearance made. The men were finely uniformed, marched well and had their apparatus looking spic and span. The fire boys looked good to everyone. City and Town officials. Next in line, riding in automobil were Mayor J. J. McGarry and me bers of the city council and city de- partments, then more cars bearing the selectmen and speakers. Al of these cars were prettily decorated the suf- fragists had three cars next in line, these machines gay with buniing, in the suffrage colors, and many Votes for Women banner: Putnam fodge of Elks presented a handsome decorated car, an Elks' head fustened at the front, the car seating a bevy of pretty givls Two cars fol ng carried the members of the mbus day com- tee. these cars showing the Italian colors fn conjuration with their other and national decorations, Santa Maria Duplicated.

It is peculiarly characteristic of our country to honor those, wiro have been instrumental in making her name great and illustrious. On each suc- ceeding anniversary of her honored sons she renews with unabated enthu- siasm the task of recalling to the older generation and proclaiming to the new the names and deeds of those, who make up her history of glory and achievement. It is, indeed, fitting that it should be So: for, we of the pres- ent rejoicing in'all the advantages of freedom and happiness. which we en- joy; of unlimited facilities in every branch of human endeavor; in the consciousness that there. is yet hefore us in the future the probability of sreater accomplishments; when we take all these things into considera- tion, we would, indeed, be ungrateful in ourselves and untrue to the ideals of patriotism, if we neglected to give a passing thought to those men, whose names are ingeparably linked with our beloved country, whose principles of justice and equity found expression in her very constitution and who in lay- ing the foundation for future growth and greatness, they knew. g An Extraordinary Man. A writer once said and wisely, too, that the mysterious hand, which gov- erns the universe, seems to hold in reserve for every period of society an extraordinary man. The man, Chris- topher Columbus, whom we honor to- day, seems to have been destined to draw the curtain of the Atlantic ocean and reveal the continent of America to the world. Out in the great ocean, unknown to man, waiting for someone to give it a name and a place in the world affairs lay the new world. Over in the old world was the man, to whom we are indébted for the impor- tant discovery of the fifteenth century, pleading for the recognition of an idea that there must be land beyond the limited vision of where the sky seem- ingly met the ocean on the western horizon and no one would listen to him, because his undertaking at best builded better than | | Some fragrance,lads, some fragrance—the cops would let even the motor cars smoke if they'd fill the air with the flavor of MECCA. known truth that some five hundred years ago men kne wno_such survey of the world and only those of a spec- ulative instinct ventured the suzges- tion that the earth was round instcad of flat.

Indomitable Courage. Our great admiration for Columbus centers itself on the indomitable cour- age, which he displayed in matching his theory with the almost proven knowledge of others. Although rumors and opinions of the earth’s roundnes: had existence from the time of Fa writers, in the time of Columbus he stood alone in his desire to put this theory to its test. Sailor of experi- cence though he was, he had to face the opposition of all. - Royalty opposed him; people ridiculed him: education disproved him. Thus in the face of almost insurmountable barriers Co- lumbus still clung to Yhe dream of a Golden West, where lay a new land and a new world A Woman, a Sailor and a Monk. “A woman, a sailor and a monk are jthe three by whom = America was pointed out afar off.” A writer thus describes the fina’ cuccess of Colum- bus’ plan and encouragement, which was given (o his idea of ex- ploration by Quecn Isabella of Spain at the pleading request of Don Perez, the Prior of a monastery. She in- fluenced the crown to open negotia- tions for the equipment Of an expedi- tion and history gives us the signifi- cant date of Aug. 3, 1492, when the people with heavy hearts saw Colum- bus depart on a mission, which w regarded by all as foolhardy and one, from which he would never return. Two months later, October 12, 1492, is recorded the discovery of land, the birthday of a new continent. Opened Up Great Continent. These were some of the early strug- gles of the man of honored memory on_this day, who opened up a_destined great continent to Christendom and civilization. He did not know the fu- ture of this Jand nor the power, which she would wield in history. It can hardly be said that he had visions of a future America, whose boundaries would be an asylum for all Europe, each one uniting to make her great and glorious; but he was the occasion of her beginning, and ke was the pivot around whom revolves her energetic feats in history. We are apt to for- get the great service, which he ren- dered to us, when his flagship, the Santa Maria, brought him to land:on this continent, for he must always be regarded as one of our greatest bene- factors. It may be that the lapse of time between his discovery and the commencement of our own republic is 8o great that we fain would go no further back in our quest for those worthy of our esteem. than Washing- ton, the father of our country. It may be that we have been too ready fo for- get the name of the great discoverer, because we underestimate the value of his contributien, te the achisvements of great men. It can be that follow- ing the tendency to forger our great benefactors we - have given another instance of the lower traits of human nature.

One of the great distinguishing feat- ures of this industrial progress, it is true, has been the mechanical fac- tor, 'but as it seems to me the wide world of industry today, human in- vention in the mechanical lines has no more than kept pace with sympathetio invention in the human line. Industry; in America today, I say, is a monu- ment to the human heart as well as to the human brain. Wonderful Changes.
