-. EIlnn on LIcense.

&C. ball license be granted for the sale
Of Intoxicating liquors in this town 2"
Tiis is the most important question to be
voted on in town meeting. A vote for Ii
cense in Springfield means a vote In favor
of four saloons, with at least one drug
gist's license, for this is the number that
the law gives us il the town votes "yes. ="
II any one bellies es that such an acquisi-
ton would add to the material, moral or
social welfare and happiness OF the town
then he, Of course, should so vote, and no
one has any legal right to criticise him
for 50 doing. We, however, are decided
ly averse to the proposition, for we have
never yet been shown wherein q saloon in
my community ever developed anything
save the weakest aud the worst in human
character. Our government is founded
on the theory OF the equality OF men, and
there are social forces among US whose
aim is to lit the lowest to the level OF the
highest, but the saloon would drag the
best aud most brilliant OF men to the
level OF the lowest aud the most brutal.
From out its doors has ever flowed hid
eous, CHASTITY stream, whose banks are
slrewn with the wretched and despairing,
bat sometime innocent victims OF its
tresc herous and irresistible current.
Springfield can well profit from the ex-
perience OF towns situated like unto II in
population and business, that have tried
the experiment of license for year or
two, for their verdict has been well nigh
uniform that they could have hell enough
without an enabling act from a town
meeting. Spring field Reporter.

nGreYn and GRAY

What is the difference, IL any. be-
tween "grey" and gray" aside from,
the matter Of spelling?
The editor Of the Oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
as to usage and found that opinions In
London varied. Replies to his ques-
tons showed that In Great Britain the
form grey is the more frequent in use.
despite the authority of DR.. johnson
and later photographers. who give the
preference to gray. Many correspond
ents said that they used the two forms
with a difference of meaning or .appli
cation. the distinction most generally
recognized being that grey denotes a
more delicate or lighter tint than gray.
Others considered the difference to be
that gray is a warmer color or that II
has a mixture of red or brown. An
other group held that grey has more Of
sentiment. gray more Of color, which
may mean that grey is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline.-New

KING AND ROYAL STREETS.
Hindu juggling.

The Hindu jugglers and acrobats are
the most sdllful In the world. One of
the latest stories told Of them Is about
a performer who went through many
wonderful feats perched on the top OF
single bamboo stick about fifteen
feet In height. The top of the stick
was tied to a girdle around bis waist.
and leg rest was provided by q cush-
ion a few feet down the pole. Perch
ed on this slender stick he hoped and
danced about In the liveliest way. ac-
companied by the tapping of drum.
It would be considered a skillful feat
to walk about with ease on a pair of
stills fifteen feet in height. but this
Hindu showed a marvellous power Of
equilibrium on a single stick. He did
other things even more wonderful. For
example. he balanced light stick on
his nose and a heavy one on his chin
and then threw the heavy one into the
air with his head and caught IT on the
end Of light one. While balancing
the two sticks thus. end on end. he
made one revolve In one direction and
the other In the opposite direction.

BOY MAKES BANK
OF HIS STOMACH.

PATERSON, Dec. 16.-For the second
time within a year the Holford Saw
ings Bank has been temporarily out of
business. Twice in the past twelve
months. ~6-year-old Johnny Holford has
been president, receiving and paying
teller of the bank. Until yesterday
he was the youngest 1inancier in the
world.
Then Johnny asked his mother
for a penny with which to buy candy.
Mrs. Holford gave her famous son 10
cents and directed him to return 0
cents after he had made his purchase.
The youngster grabbed the dime and
started on a run for the nearest candy
store. Fearing that he might drop
the coin he placed il in his mouth.
In a flash it slipped down his throat.
He ran back crying 10 his mamma.
Simple home remedies were of no avail,
and having in mind the previous ex-
p%erience the mother took her offspring
TO St. Joseph's Hospital. Seven months
age Johnny was given a f%ive-dollar
gold piece in mistake for a penny. He
swallowed that, too. and the bank sus-
pended operations temporarily.

ported to the Board of Education oil

planned that the teachers were worklng
hard. and the results are due to their
untiring efforts. The board was pleased
with the report and ordered it spread
in full upon the minutes.
Custodian of School Moneys ference

over the advisability of having q tele-
phone installed in the school, but no

enrolled 1S6, lirls 155, total 341; avera
age, 331; attendance, 311. Night school,

cuses in each case. The day school will
close for Yuletide holidays Friday after
noon, December 20, and reopen Wednes-
day. January !, 1911. Night school will
