A Satisfactory Test.

Tuesday forenoon Protection Hose
Co. was called INT for the first trial of
our water works as q system of fire pro-
lection with n very satisfactory result.
With one stream from the hydrant at the
corner OF Main and Railroad streets the
hose threw the water distance OF 164
feet from the nozzle, and with four
streams playing, two at the corner OF
Railroad and Main and two ut the cor
ner of Main and Broad streets distance
OF $50 feet was covered, showing that
four streams can be put on ut any time
with practically MS much effective force
in each stream rs though only one or
two were playing. There is no doubt
that seven or eight one inch nozzles can
play at one time and good fire stream
obtained from euch, but Us the hose
company have only pipes for four noz-
zles, no further test could be made in
this direction.
A test was also made on the hill near
the Catholic church with nearly as good
results. With four streams playing ut
the same time distance of las feet was
covered by one nozzle. One hose play.
ing at the corner OF Division and Main
streets threw stream ABOUT 20 feet
over the fag staff OH the cupola of the
town hall.
With good steamer in reserve capa.
ablo of throwing two good streams, to
be used in case of emergency, L'Anse is
provided with Us good an equipment for
fighting fires as any town in the state
that does not sustain paid fire depart
ment.

FINALLY SETTLED.

At the regular meeting of the coun.
Gil, held Thursday evening, final
settlement was reached between Mr..
Sykes and the village for the con-
struction OF our water works system
and the matter closed up, the village
paying Mr.. Sykes balance of So, $780,
&c.
On account of the extreme and I'M
forseen difficulties met with by the
contractor in laying the pipes in the
village when water and quicksand was
encountered in many places the vii
lage allowed Mr.. Sykes bill for extra
cost over contract price of some $500
or $4OO, and on account of his great
loss on the experiment with the stone
pipe the forfeiture clause in the con-
tract was waived by the counil.
Mr.. Sykes has lost considerable
money on the contract but he has
done his work well, fulfilled every
agreement, made good every guarantee
and paid his labor bills regularly and
without dispute. There isn't q men,
Der Of the council who does not feel
that Mr.. Sykes is Justly entitled to
every cent he has received from the
village and who would not have allowed
him as much or more had he been do
ing business for himself instead Of the
village.

A Fortunate Youth.

The passengers on an inbound train on
the Boston and Albany railroad were
greatly amused one afternoon lately by
the actions of a gay Lothayio. When the
train stopped at Natick, handsome
young man was seen standing on the
platform bidding an affectionate adieu
to an equally fine looking young wom-
an. She nestled up to her fond admirer
and brushed imaginary specks off the
lapel of his coat.
As the train was about to start he
made an effort to embrace the idol of his
heart, but was rebuked by the young
woman, who remarked:
Not here, Fred; there are too many
people around"
So Fred whispered sweet goodby
and jumped aboard the now moving
train.
As the cars sped on to Boston, Fred
rapidly forgot the girl he had left be-
| hind him and seemed to care but little
for the attention that was shown to him
by those of his fellow passengers who
had witnessed the parting at Natick.
But Fred had another treat in store for
the passengers. When the train pulled
up at Huntington avenue. he alighted
with merry heart, and before the peo-
pie in the car coulG fclly rcalize what
had happened was in the arms of an
other fine young woman. This time he
found no difficulty in implanting kiss
on the right spot, and the happy pain
walked off together, totally oblivious Of
the fun they had created. Everybody IL
the car gggled, and persons who wer'
entire strangers to one another freely
discussed that affecting scene from rea
. life.-Boston Herald.
