FROM THE PEN OF TATTLER,

FROM TIE PEN OF TATTLER,
ED. HERALD:-I notice in q late is
sue OF your paper a communication
%purporting to emenate from the pen of
"Tattler," and since that time questions
have been asked if Tattler was still
really alive. I hereby bob serenity to the
front to say that l am, and still a look
er on here in Woonsocket. Now the
one who wrote that communication
and signed my name thereto commit
ted a bold theft. I cannot consent to
have another bear away laurels that
justly belong to myself. Therefore,
editor Of the HERALD, if you desire to
know what is going on in Woonsocket,
written without fear or favor, my pen
is at your service. But let me remind
you of one thing. When a committee
of Woonsocket men sit down on one;
they sit down hard, so says u Broth
er Of the Monitor. You are forewarn-
ed, if write, | write for publication,
not the waste basket. / will say that
| shall change my style of composition
somewhat, as it would grow sentiment
tai as the summer advances, and so
may quote poetry speak of present and
coming events, etc. I like a change.
This world is full Of change. You re-
member the poet says: eve all change
like the politician seeking IN Office"
But change" is out of vogue in our
town, at present it called "hopping."
But while speaking Of changes L will
change the subject.
We are glad to note the face Of Miss
Minnie Burdick on our streets once
again.
All the committees are very busy
at work on the programme for the 4th,
and we expect q grand time.
The band was on the street Monday
evening and rendered a few choice
pieces which were duly appreciated by
the citizens as they have been rather
choice Of their street music SO far this
summer.
Mrs Barker, President Of the " G.
t. U. of Oak. lectured in the Presby-
terrain Church, Sunday evening. She
spoke at some length on the w. G. T.U
in Dakota, Rhode Island and other
states, and declaimed frequently and
forciable against other social evils as
we'll as the course Of stong drink. This
is as it should be.
The Hose Co. from Mitchell on their
way to Pierre stopped here a few min
nutes Sunday night. AS they struck
9th street they gazed first with wonder
then derision on that monument Of
folly that stands near the corner. At
ter looking it DER they sadly wendell
their way back to the Grain. For the
veal of our town can't that thing be
put out of sight? It's 9 disgrace to
Woonsocket.
The NJ. e. Church was decorated last
Sunday morning in honor of Children's
Day. The Sunday School gave a fine
programme. Responsive Readings by
the several classes and choir, readings
and recital ions by different mem.
bers Of the school; singing by the
little folks and last but not least q
collection amounting to nearly $500,
were among the distinctive features
Of the service.
To Illustrate a point in her lecture
Sunday evening Mrs. Barrier spoke OF
the different Joints IN Mechanics ,liken,
ing some men to them. saying that the
w. @. Il. U. wanted no Universal Flop-
per to head their ticket. The query
came to some: DO the Prohibitionists
OF Dakota want any such TO lead their
army. Others wondered if anybody
was hit. The trumpet must give nc
uncertain sound.
