us what they have promised to furnish and
take our money for, and incidentally per-
mits waste, so much the better.
II 1t fails to satisfy our needs retribution
will appear to have overtaken the lower
levels for their present lack of considera-
tion, because in the new programme the
hills will have the first chance at the Sebago,

The above describes high and low service.
If it really should fall in supplying our
proper needs. which don't believe it will,
the present tolerance of the city should be
grounds for making its action prompt and
decisive. The waste can be stopped and
should be, and certainly without increasing
the present rates. K. Z. JORDAN.

old till she became years of age. Jumps formed
in her neck, causing great annoyance. and two of
them, after growing to the size OF pigeons egg,
broke and discharged. One became a running
