How to Enjoy the Fourth

Don't use any irecrackers except of the giant variety.
 Don't run away until you are sure the cracker is going to go off. Then try to get off before the cracker does.
 Don't explode toy pistol or blank cartridge unless somebody iS near to aim them at.
 Don't exercise any care for your own or anybody else's safety. Only such trifies as lock jaw or amputation follow Fourth of July injuries and we all have to die some time.

AS TO TELEPHONE RATES
Bill Pending Which Would Compel
 Their Reduction.

Their Reduction.
 There is bill pending ill the General Assembly which has for its purpose the compelling of the Southern New Eng land Telephone Company to cheapen its rates about the state. Those who are familiar with telephone rates the coun- try over and understand the financial policies of the local telephone company will not, we believe, urge the passage of the bill of which we have spoken. The Southern New England Telephone Company conducts public utility which has grown to be a necessity and for the reason of its fairness in charge and ex- cellent service has been permitted to thrive without competition.
 It is we'll we have 6 Legislature which may hold in check greedy and misbe- having corporations, but as they say in the parlance of the street, there is noth- ing lon" the Southern New England Telephone Company. A study of the financial condition of the telephone company proves conclusively that 1t is making modest profits. which must necessarily be result of fair charges to its long list of subscribers. For this reason at least it would seem to be the wise course of the General Assembly to let the telephone company alone.

HENRY CLARK OF ASHLEY FALLS
After Nearly a Century of Life Spent as a Farmer and Machinist-EnjoYs the Esteem of a Large Circle of Friends.

It is our pleasure to present this week a sketch of Henry Clark of Ashley Falls, one of the oldest and best known resi- dents of this vicinity, who is still quite hearty in his ninetieth year. s....
 The fact that MT. Clark has lived to the above ripe age and has yet retained a bright prospect and retrospect of life makes his career the more interesting. Unlike some old people, who seem to have cherished the troubles of lifetime to dwell upon in their old age, and who thereby make themselves unhappy. MT.

CHRISTMAS TIME.

Christmas is again at hand
and throughout the civilized
world this great festival will
be celebrated according to the
customs of the various ma
tions. Tn America it has
come to be the one day Of the
year when the scattered mem
bers of family endeavor to.
meet under the old home roof,
and share with each other the
joys and blessings of life.
No other festival has at
tached TO it such wonderful
traditions and around no 9th.
er one are mingled SO many
sacred memories.
In the last issue of the
Wendell Irrigatiolist, Major
Fred r. Reedl expresses the
following beautiful thoughts
regarding this day which,
above all others, has tend
ency to soften the hearts of
men and bring to their minds
the happy days of youth:
"As the Christmas time
comes to US all hearts grow
tender as we turn back the
pages of the book of memory.
The loved ones living and
dead, the home, the associ-
ates of childhood days (the
days when old Santa Claus
really came) the sorrows, the
tears, the laughter, the sad
ness and gladness seem like
the incoming tide bearing on
it's surface little ship to
every human heart, freighted
with something precious and
sacred. Truly, in this money
mad age when conditions OF
life are so strenuous, the 1ule
tide season is, and should be

life where every human may
pause a brief spell and annie
