the calls he had received, refusing the
call to Elmdale and accepting the one
to Milton. And so the strange story OF
a great hearted man really began.
When he had finished writing these
two letters, he wrote another, which
throws so much light on his character
and his purpose in going TO Milton that
we will insert that in this story as be

This is the letter:

The village council is talking of ad

the power at midnight and still fur
nish the patrons with all the light
necessary, thus saving large part Of
the cost of coal, to say nothing of the
saving in wear and tear on the ma
chinery. Besides this it will be pos
sible for those who wish to use lights
in their Easements during the day
when the plant is not in operation tc
secure such service. The storage bat.
terry will also be found to be very con.
venient in case Of accidents and heated
Journals: as the service will not be i'm
paired. even if the plant happened tc
be shut down three hours during the

r.. F. ID. Roads.

The two rural free delivery routes
recently established at this point are
daily becoming more popular with the
people of the sections traversed by
them and new patrons are, noted
weekly. The farmers realize that this
free delivery is bringing them in closer
touch with the world at large and in
many ways is making farm life more
pleasant. The season is approaching
when the service will prove a still
greater blessing. Winter is the one
season when the farmer has plenty OF
time to read. The days are short.
busy ones, but the evenings are long.
Heretofore it was necessary to drive to
town to get the mail, but now along
these routes it is delivered at their
doors daily. The success of the routes
depends great deal on the cO-opera-
tiOn the carriers receive from the
patrons. Soon snow will hamper these
public servants and it is we'll for the
farmers to make some provision now
to assist them in covering their routes
on schedule time. Organize q snow
brigade or something Of that sort and
see that the roads are kept open at the
time the mail is due Remember that
each carrier has more than twenty-five
miles to travel each day and the snow
is a great hindranoe. Think of the
miles of travel he saves you in the
course~o a:year and then go out and
show him that you appreciate his
efforts, Let's show the department
that we know a good thing when, we
see it and are. willing to ''push it
along.'' ,*- ':
