TOUR ABOUT TOWN

I saw middle aged resident OF Paw.
tucket watching the crowd of holiday
shoppers passing up and down Main
street yesterday afternoon. An amused
smile passed over his face when I asked
the cause, 1 was thinking, said he, Of
the changes in Pawtucket since my
boyhood, and I am but middle aged
man. Thirty five years ago there was
no such thing as holiday shopping.
Why the week before Christmas Mr..
Wood, the druggist, would lay in a
stock of about $15 worth of toys and
that was the only place to purchase
anything out Of the ordinary in the
place. If youngster got jumping
jack or q monkey on stick, he was
just about fixed. Verify, thei time s
have changed.
am informed that social organiza-
ton is discussing the abvisability of
holding . mistletoe social. confess
myself somewhat at loss to decide
just what the social will be like and I
refrain from mentioning the nsmo of
the organization, as fear the rush for
tickets would be astonishing. II the
mietletoe is to be used in the customaI y

Exactly how the idea became pre-
valent, I do not know; but the iamen-
table fact remains that many members
of the militia have an idea that when
in uniform and away from home they
are privileged characters and can be-
have about as they are inclined. The
above reference is not made particu-
larly to the National Guard1of this
State, but will apply in almost any
other. The widespread habit OF con-
sidering that . mans uniform gives
him license OF conduct, which he
would not think OF assuming under or
binary conditions, has done more to
hurt the standing of the Nationsl
Guard than any other thing in con-
nection with the organization, on
which our main hopes of defence de-
pend.
When in the uniform of his State a
soldier should, under all circumst stances,
conduct himself rs . gentleman, thus
rejecting credit on his commandant,
