that Mahaney killed him for not
obeying his command to get off

light drew his gun, therefore it is
not probable that any punishment
will be meted out to his murderer.
Twice before this Mahaney has

it is an illegal act to beat a train,

that permits a professional killer

In its issue OF October 9th, the

editorial "A Traitorous News
paper" and then roasts the New

both because we want our readers
to compare the opinions OF two
great papers, also because we want
TO discuss this war problem little.

AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION

When the Pilgrim fathers came to Massachusetts one of their most trust ed and trustworthy friends was the wild turkey. He was so friendly that he put himself in the way of being shot for the beneht Iof the Pilgrim fathers. He was shot for their bene- fit. He figured in the early and fer vent Thanksgivihgs. He also figured in other feasts when the Pilgrim sharpshooters had luck. He has long been extinct in the State where he once fed. 1ourished and was fed up- on The interesting suggestion is now made that Massachusetts woods be re- stocked with the noble, beautiful and toothsolne bird Professor c. F. Hodge, who makes the suggestion, is confident that it can be successfully carried out
 Others are afraid that even if the wild turkey would eorsent to again live in

< QUEER MIXTURE.

There is 3 queer mingling of busi- ness with sentiment in good old Mas sachusetts. Lynn has gone no-license, and so have several other towns in that region. Nahant is wet" Nahant also has an election next March, when it will be decided whether or not she will stay wet" It further happens that Nahant people much desire a ten cent fare between Nahant and Lynn, and number of the residents of Ma hant have started campaign looking to no-lcense unless the transportation companies will reduce the fare. They assert that the companies can afford to make the reduction because, with Lynn dry" and Nahant wet" a large number of persons would travel to Ma haut every week. Last year the nlajori. ty for license in Nahant was only about 100, SO there is some chance of the agitators being able to carry out their purpose, in case the railroads do not come to terms.
 How's that for pressure ?" If MT O'Brien can spare a little time from Connecticut and Washington he might make a point for prohibition in Massachusetts.
