A Birthday Celebration-N0t in Favor OF
Vaccination.
Saturday, evening Miss Bessie Arnold
entertained o mum Der of her friends at
her home in Arlington. 1t was the 18th
anniversary of Miss Bessle's birth. A
number OF games, pleasingiy arranged,
and heartily executed" occupied most Of

ing Miss Bessie's ears good -nstured
pulling.

lar monthly session in the counciI cham
ber tomorrow evening, at 8 O'clock. II
is expected that the vaccination Law will
be discussed, on a protes, from mum Dor
of parents from Pawtgxet. These peo-
pie have refused TO have their children
vaccinatcn. Although The committee may
sympathize with tnsss people, cannot.
help them, because vaccination ia compul-
sorry under the present law.
Some time age the Town Council gave
notice TO the New England Railroad
Company that the bridge which carries

railroad must be widened to conform to
the new street lipe' before Dec. 10. The
railroad company has Done nothing so far
toward complying with this request and
the limit OF the time allowed will be
reached this week. IL is likely that the
town VIII bo forced to do the work as 1t
was in the case OF removing tie project
ing caves OF the knightsville station.

tween the Cranstun Lyoedm snd the

SQUIRRELS HIS FRIENDS.
4 Venerable Man Whose Pockets They
Daily Explore for Nuts.


A venerable looking man with snow
white hair and beard Is n regular morn
Ing visitor at Mount Morris Park, In
Harlem, says the New York Journal.
He always enters the park ut Fifth
avenue. walks quietly to a large tree
and taps against 1t with his cane. At
the same time he calls softly. In a
few moments sharp banks of delight are
heard among the branches and one
or two gray squirrels are seen to run
down the trunk of the tree. The old
man smiles and cOaXes and pretty soon
the squirrels have jumped from the
tree to his shoulders and have begun
an exploration In search Of pockets.
The gray pets always are rewarded
by finding some nuts, which they carry
Off to the branches OF the tree and eat.
Sometimes they make two or three
trips down the tree and Chamber over
the old man and search his pockets un-
til they are sure the supply OF nuts
has been exhausted. There are dozen
squirrels In the northwest corner Of the
park, who are on the best terms with
their venerable visitor, and are, appar.
emily, ON the lookout for him every
day.
