Nelson WoodmanSie, Well

Star Route On Rhode Island.
WORKS SIX DAYS A WEEK

GREENE. r. l., Feb. ALONG the road
from Greene, in the mid-western part CT
Coventry and the last station in Rhode
Island on the old New England Railroad
to Escoheag, which is in the extreme SOUTH
western part of West Greenwich. no man is
better known that Nelson Woodmansle-
The road is one of the main Travelled ways
of the west section of the State. 1t is nine
miles long and it winds up the hill at
Greene, around and over Sand Hill. steep
and-for Rhode Island-a high elevation,
where the road is one mass Of loose sand
and the horse has to stop for breath several
times past the grounds where the Advent
lists hold their noted camp meetings, past
HOPKINS Hollow. past the old Plain Meet
ing House and so on to Escoheag, a quaint
old place where tidewater can be seen miles
away from the top of Escoheag.

Despite his age he Is uncommoniy s,IonS ,
active and gritty He rarely fails TO get
through with the mail, and the occasions
on which he is not able to get very iar on
the road are few indeed. The regulations
of the service require an EFFORT ana a start,
no matter what the weather, but the Cld
man does more than this-he gets there
He has been doing this so many years
that he has become known to every person

afternoon. He is pretty regular about IT,
too. and the residents along the road nave

storms seem to have little erect on the
old man. He will grumble about starving
out in them, but start he always does Last
winter he failed to get through only once
That was on a day when an ordinary man
would have grumbled at the idea OF going
out of doors at all, let alone starting Tor a
drive of eighteen miles through country
in which the wind bites and has better
sweep than in almost any other part of the
State. For that section is the highest In
Rhode Island, with the exception of the
Burrillville and North Smithfield region.
The town is one in which there are few
young men. On most of the farms only
the old men are left, for the young people,
as soon as they become old enough to leave
the place, start for the city or for some
section where there is more of a population
and a better chance. There are only .thir-
teen inhabited houses along one of the roads
from Greene to Escoheag.
