Plumber Rice's Day
Freeport. August 23—That trouble never comes singly is the belief of Ed¬ ward A. Rice, a well known business man uf this village, and one of the wardens of tbe Freeport Kire Depart¬ ment, based upon hia experience of yesterday.
Rice conducts a large plumbing ea-, tahlisbment here, and yesterday re ceived a call to the residence of Dr. Frank A. Myriek. on South Main Street. When Mrs. Myriek opened the kitchen door, her pet fox terrier sprang at Mr. Riee and bit him tm the right side of tbe chest, before .Mrs. Myriek jould intervene. Rice was driven to Dr. Runcie's office, where a chest wound was cauterized.
Later Rice went to the office of Vil¬ lage Treasurer S. Dimon Smith, on Railr<>ad Avenue, to superintend the removal of a large boiler from the basement. W'hile the boiler waa be¬ ing lifted with pulleys the tackle gave way and the heavy cylinder crashed into thf basement again. Hearing nothing froro Rice, hit men rushed into the basement and found him lyirm unconscious abont ten feet from the bci er. When resuscitated be aaid he had jumped back quickly when he heard the tackle breaking and hix head bad violently bit the new boiler behind him. —Timea.

Or it may be that they will find one not a bit better, yet one whieb suita tbem bett«r—which servoa all purpoaea. If a boarder it to leave. advertise.
