Yhnae i mynfln Dpaper pri of the Amer- erly of Danielson, was Injured just before noon Thursday, when she was struck by an automobile driven by Mark Lewis. The child’s escape from injury was almost miraculous, but, as a2 matter of fact, she escaped with no more than some brulses nd a bad shaking up. _ The accident happened in Elm street, near Bartlett's store. The litte girl had étarted to eross the street just as the motor truck of the Manhasset company was coming up the street. Witnesses relate that the little girl saw the truck, which Wes on the wester, and right side of wne strest, and stop- ped between the rails of the trol- ley track to let it pass. 'Ac this time ‘the machine Mr. Lewis was driving, and carefully, hove in _sight, coming down on the easterly side of the street. Something evidently attracted the little girl's attention to the oncoming Lewis machine, for she turned and dashed across its path to the sidewalk wwhen she saw it. A fender struck her and she was knocked to the ground. The child was picked up and taken to her home and Dr. J. J. Russell sum- moned. An examination did not reveal any broken bones or other serious injuries, so it is believed that the child will not suffer any serigus consequences from the accident. Details of the affair were inyestigated by Captain Joseph A. Ryan of the police. Mitk a Dime a Quart. Milk—10 cents a quart.

Ten-cent milk, however-looks like an attgotive proposition for'some f the producers that are now sending their supply into Boston, 50 one resuit of the advance in price is likely to be an increase in supply for local consump- tion. €Y French Books for Library. ifty volumes of French books | dealing with the great #turopean war and other subjects of special interest have been authorized purchased by the directors of the public library. The purchase of these books is in line with the policy adopted a few years ago of gradually sceumulating Volumes published in fhe Freach lang- uage, for the benefit of the many French-speaking residents of the city The new hooks are published in Paris. As originaily bound, the cov- ors are of paper, but as they will come to the library they will be bound in half Morocco. The volumes ,on the shelves will cost the town about one dollar a_book. The new books will not be received for several months. Hunting Season a Poor One. The hunting season of 1916 that closed with Thursday brought few experiences that hunters will preserve in memory to talk about in future vears. In a word, it was a punk sea son, so far as successinuy snooting in brush and field was concerned. More than 100 licenses veere issued in the town of Putnam ,but few notable bags were taken during the season. The exceedingly heavy snowstorms and cold weather of last March are charg- ed with having Killed off much of the Drotected game. Prisoners Kept Busy. The annual report of the déunty commissioners showing, among other things, the earnings of the prisoners at the Windham county jail called forth here on Thursday much favorable comment, and the report is regarded as the best that will be made in any county in the state this year. The un- usual demand and shortage of labor has made it possible for the jail man- agement to keep tne prisoners very busy, and at times there has been more work to be done thap the prisoners could care for. In addition to the out- side work, much more was done by the prisoners about the jail buildin- and the jail farm, where a heavy quantity of produce is raised each year. ~ HOME FROM WASHINGTON Mrs. W.

Concerning the development of the emperor's ailment, the Associated Press correspondent learned from au- thoritative sources the following: heut three weeks ago the em- | peror’s “house physician, Dr, Kerzl, I noted that the emperor’ oice had grown hoarse. Aq examination of the patient showed a covered palate. Dr. Ortner, who had previously treated the emperor. was consulted and the phy- sicians agreed in deciding that he needed a complete rest. To this, how- ever, he would not;listen and contin- wed 'his work, rising every morning at about 430 o'clock and during the day ziving many audiences and hearing many reports.

The minister-astron- omer now has the discovery of four new planets to his credit, a record equalled by few, it was said.
