CHRISTMAS ToDDY.
Many People Petition the Sheriff to Let
Them Have a Little.

The amount of Christmas teddy coming
into this town from Boston may not be
large, but it is quite troublesome to the au-
thorities. Sheriff Grams office is beset by
people who want to ask his permission to
have liquors come to them. OF course he
has nothing to do with the matter, and
tells them that he can give no permission.
1t is the right of every citizen to have rum
sent to him from Boston provided he does
not intend to break the law by selling it.
The law does not presume to interfere
with citizens right to drink whatever he
wants to. When Sheriff Cram tells them
that he has no authority to grant or deny
their request, they notify him that the
liquor is coming, and request him not to
seize it. When they fare straightforward
people, who are not in the rum business,
and evidently want it for their own use,
the sheriffs. of course, do not interfere.
The corporations sometimes complain
little at the frequency with which the sher-
ifs search their premises. But really they
are treated pretty well. For the sheriffs.
by diligently searching for the real offend
ers, often save the companies the embar-
rassment Of being hauled up for illegal
transportation of liquors. A knowledge
on the part of an indiscrcet employe lays
the company liable to prosecution under
the law passed by the last legislature.
Deputy Sheriffs Plummer and Sterling
put in hard days work searching yester-
day, but they were not rewarded by find
ing much that was worthy of their atten-
ton. They began the day at a. M, at
which hour Mr.. Plummer went down TO
the Boston boat wharf but found nothing.
Mr.. Sterling went to the Boston & Maine
yard and when the early freight came in,
secured a five gallon keg of beer.
In the afternoon they called at Murdoch
& Freeman's. They made a thorough
search but found nothing that could be
seized as contraband.

Says Her Children Were Sent Away.
The wife of James l.. Mccarthy, private
secretary to A. A. Strout, has reported to
the police that her husband has taken her
three children and sent them to Montreal.
The woman is beside herself with grief.
Mccarthy charges that his wife is not a
suitable person to bring up the children,
and he has sent them away where they can
have proper training. The sympathy of
the neighbors seems to be with Mrs. Nc
earthly. who is said to be very worthy
woman. Mccarthy also bears good rep
utation. The children, aged seven, five
and three years. were taken to Montreal
by McCarthy's mother, who, Mrs. McCar-
thy declares. is responsible for all the
trouble.
