 NO SIDE SADDLES
 Falls Village is unique spot in sew eral respects and one of them is that there is not even one secret society with in it's borders. A number of members of Masonic lodges, Knights of Pythias. Odd Fellows etc., are found among it's residents but it has no local organiza- tions of this character. It would seem like a favorable spot for some lodge or ganizer to anchor for a spell and en- deavor to persuade the men folks to be- come familiar with the mysteries of the order he represents. We say "men folks" because, of course, no one would for moment consider the proposition to have the ladies join an organization where there are secrets to be kept. And, more than that, there are no side-saddles made for lodge goats.

 UNPOPULAR VAUDEVILLE.
 There have been many complaints of late relative to the unusual number of intoxicated men on the streets. Their vaudeville is not the sort that entertains Falls Villagers and the protest is right eous one. To the man who spends his time watching the trains come in it looks very much as if the new steel cage will be handy thing to have in the village.

 The steel cage which is to be placed in Town Hall and used as lookup will be here some time or other according to the letter received by the selectmen a few days ago. When 1t arrives 1t will be at once put into commission 80 that it may be practically demonstrated to law break CTS what inside, looking out" means.
