The New England Telephone has made
application for the franchise to set tele-
phone poles along certain streets to put In
the loops necessary for placing the large
number Of instruments that have lately
been engaged. Some opposition is made
on account OF the alleged impairment Of

Here is a simple test to determine the
purity OF drinking water that has been
tried and Is endorsed by some of our
towuspeople:-Fill clean pint bottle
three fourths full of the water; add half
teaspoonful OF clean granulated sugar;
stop the bottle with glass or a clean cork
and let 1t stand In the light, In mod
erately warm room, for As hours. IL the
water becomes cloudy or mnrky, 1t is un-
AZ for use Randolph gentleman sub
mitted the spring water used at his homo
to this test and traced some decayed frogs
remains which were impregnating the
water. Not long since a party was hor-
rified to find in his spring a dead skunk.
At this time, after so long a period OF low
water, springs become foul and great care
should be taken to cleanse them. Toe vii

The entertainment course committee
feels that II has succeeded entirely in fill
ing the gap caused by Mr.. Frye's being
unable to present bis monologue, "David
Harum," in having secured as a substitute
Mr.. Charles T. Grilley OF Boston, reader,
impersonator and humorist. MIR. Grilley
is no stranger here. The greeting he re
ceived when ne appeared as the enter
tainer at last years musical festival is still
fresh in mind. The audience couldn't
have enough OF him, though he was called
back tive ard six times. He left a prime
favorite and the committee feels that luck
IL with IL in being able to Ill the date
with an attraction so strong and popular.
The date is Wednesday evening Dec. Goth.
With Mr.. Grilley comes a harpist, Mr..
Van v. Rogers, who renders captivating
solos on that instrument aud also atcom-
panies Mr. Grilley in some OF his most eff
fective recitations.
