A New Vac ation Scheme.
Vacations are being planned now
Therefore, pauSe'

Vacations are being planned now.
Therefore, pause.
A new and WondrOus vacation
scheme has been discovered. its ad-
vantages applicable. sooner or later,
to the whole human race, including
the millionaires.
For the present only the married
portion need, as was so dramatically
observed, pause. Yet even those for
whom hesitancy is not urged will do
well to give the marvellous new vaca-
ton plan a passing thought ere they
rush headlong onward toward their
week or so of bliss with their Darby
or their Joan. It'll come handy in the
future.
All England seems to be for it: all
America seems to be against it. This
not only makes it interesting, but
highly probable, since the free and in
dependent United States seems still
to rejoice in it's thraldom to the lead
ing strings of Europe.
Here it is: Let husbands and wives
arrange to enjoy their vacations apart
from each other: and meanwhile let
the husbands and wives of the des-
perately ennuied years to come secret
ly get ready to do the same wise
thing.

Improving the Water.

To take away the fiat, insipid taste
from water after it has been boiled,
take it into the fresh air and pour it
from one jug into another two or three
times. The water will absorb some
of the oxygen from the air and it will
be found that the fiat taste will have
entirely disappeared.

c. s. ANDEM's SAGE ADVICE.
Agent of Big GrosvenordsIe Mills
Makes Hit With Speech.

c. S. Ande1n. agent of the Gros-
venordale mills opened the eyes OF
many of the persons at the reception
to Governor Weeks when he incident
ally quoted a few facts relative to the
big industrial concern of which he is
the active head. This mill company
has a record of half century of I'M
interrupted activity in this end of
Windham county, during which the
plant has never been shut down except
on Sundays and holidays. From dali
" output of few hundred yards,
the manufactured product of the two
big mills has grown to one hundred
thousand yards a day-"every yard a
yard wide and every yard yard long,"
as Mr.. Andem puts it.
Speaking of proposed public inn
provements in Putnam, Mr.. Andem
said: "I understand that you propose
TO run curbing along your streets and
to build a sewer system. When you
set about this latter task. build them
big enough. A few dollars saved now
may mean the necessity of spending
thousands later on. Do not build your
sewers to care for a rainfall like the
scanty amount of the past two years;
build them big enough to care for the
greatest rainfall you ever heard of;
build them to care for sewerage from
every building that may be erected
ON every vacant lot: and when you
ture demand that may be made upon
your proposed sewer system and de-
cided that you are calculated to have
it plenty big enough-build 1t q lit
tie bit bigger"

with a combination of sound sense
and good humor. The next time he

An unsuccessful attmpt to blow the
safe in the postof1ice was made about
8 o'clock Wednesday morning, proba-
bly, by a band OF crackSmen that were
forced to leave the job unfinished. They
were up against good; new safe and a
vfgilant night Waterman in the person
of Christopher Kent, and because of
these facts they got nothing for their
trouble.
The safe witflstood the first charge
of nitro glycerine that it was subject
ed to, only the lower hinge on one side
giving away, and before they could
make much further progress the alarm
given by Watchman Kent forced them
to beat a flying retreat.

that safe berakers were at work came

pfosfon from the first charge. He was

could get a view of the postofhce, he
Immediately located the men at work.
AS usual, there was a gas light burn
ing in the office, and the, large plate
glass window in Postmaster POtter's
Office was unobStructed by its curtain,
which is kept rolled at night, to allow
q good view of the interior of the Of
flee. Mr.. Kent saw the shadows of the
two men working at the safe and also
observed a third man walking up and
down the walk outside as a guard.
The Waterman pulled his revolver
and fired one shot as an alarm. After
the first shot the revolver failed to
work, and Mr.. Kent yelled "Burglarsl"
The shot and the cries of the watch
man caused the men to make a break
from the office and run toward the rail-
road and then northward.
Word was sent to Postmaster Potter
of the attempt at safe breaking, and he
came down to the Office to make an in

doors inside the vestibule of the office
had been forced open. letting the men
