MRS. SPENCER VAN SICKLE
TRIES TO END HER LIFE
Swallows Carbolic Acid Because Hus-
band Remained Away From Home
Until Early Morning Hours.

Mrs. Anita Van SICKLE, an employee
at the Chutes, attempted to kill her
self at her residence, IN Elizabeth
street, at o'clock yesterday morning
by swallowing a quantity of carbolic
acid.
The cause of her wishing to die was
that her husband had remained out
late. He returned, however, in time to
prevent her from swallowing all the
contents of the bottle. He lost no time
in summoning the ambulance from
the Emergency Hospital, to which
place she was removed. The prompt
application of the stomach pump by
DR.. w. A. Stevens saved the woman's
life.

FIRE AT LUDLOW
Graded School Building Badly Dam
aged by Flames.

Fire in the graded school at Lud-
low Saturday damaged the interior
of the building to the extent of about
$4,000; insured. The structure was
saved by the hard work of the local
hose company. The cause of the
fire is not known.
AT about $3.50 o'clock Saturday
morning Rev. II. E. ,Thayer, who
lives across the street, noticed the
flames, which appeared to have
started in the basement, but there
has been no fire in the building for
more than week. The hose COM
pany responded and did excellent
service, but the interior of the build
ing was badly damaged; also the
books and furniture. The building
was insured in the Aetna insurance
company for $1,000, and the books
and furniture for $1,000. The school
directors have not determined asyet
what they will do with the schools.
There were six schoolrooms in the
building, four OF which are damaged
so that they cannot be used until re-
pairs are made.

A PROTEST
North Bridgewater Weather Not as
Bad as Painted.

North Bridgewater Weather Not as
Bad as Painted.
Editor of The Age:
notice in your paper of Nov. 20
what "A hard time Mail Carrier Eng
lish of r. F. D., No. 1, has had.
Why any harder for r. F. D. car
rier than stage driver? There
seems to be an idea among some
newspaper correspondents that R.
F. D. route should always be in per-
feet condition and if by any chance
it SHOWS and blows so as to be al
most impossible, that it is much
worse than on some Of the old, long
established stage lines, and there is a
howl in the papers against r. F. D..
Now, as Il matter of fact, the story
of the storm and drifts IF Nov. IS
has been very much exaggerated, es-
pecially in North Bridgewater, as l
am creditably informed that the
worst drift was not over three feet.
The men were at work and if the
carrier had waited few minutes he
could have made his trip Nov. ID as
far North Bridgewater was con-
cerned. AS to South Barnard
can't say.
1 am net as old or experienced as
Mr.. English, but think l have known
much worse "going" than now, and
if he uses sleigh part of his trir
think it must be in the village Of
