by a strong republican town, solely
through personal popularity. He has
also held the Office of seIectman, but

lover On October 13, 1906, Mrs.
Folsom died, after a life not exempt
from trouble, but on the whole one
of peace and happiness. Her hus-
band has survived her four years,
vigorous in mind and body, except for
his sufferings from rheumatic
troubles. There was no illness but a
gradual weakening of the vital pow
ers, and an instantaneous passing
away. To describe Mr.. Folsom as
a man of truth, purity and integrity
of character, respected by all, seems
but half the story. To appreciate
him one must have known him.
Kind, genial, unselfish, sturdily in
dependent, equally at his ease with
high or low, scrupulously fair and
generous in his dealings, emphatical-

loss is felt as a personal one by all.
His familiar figure, so we'll known
on our streets, will be greatly missed.

The great question now on the lips OF
every citizen is "Where are our street
lights?" No satisfactory explanation
has been given to the public as to why
we are compelled to walk in total dark
ness and no secure promises of future
relief. Is it not about time the owners
of the electric plant should know just
why the street lights are out of commits
sion so long?

A Short Lived Club.

One of the most short lived clubs
ever formed was the Club des Laide-
urs-club for ugly women-organized
by the Princess Pauline Metternich,
who was an elegant woman. but so
ugly that she used to call herself "a
white monkey" Perhaps she felt lone
some. Anyhow. she tried to gather
some of the other women she knew
who were not blessed with good looks
into a club. But the club proved I'M
popular and died a natural death. The
princess got back at her women ac-
quaintances by remarking that if there
were any candor In them her club
would be overcrowded.

AGREED WITH THE ASP.
The Frenchman Got Around the Law
Against Kissing.

The F~renchman Got Around the Law
Against Kissing.
A gentleman who had been uncere-
moniously hustled out of a Paris play
house because he Kissed when the cur
tain fell on the second act brought an
action for damages against the mama
ger Of the said house.
The court decided in favor of the
kissing gentleman. adding that If a
spectator is allowed to show his de-
light by indulging in applause his
neighbor has also the right to show
disapprobation in an audible fashion.
But the law in France was not always
so tolerant. In the middle of the sew
enteenth century 1t was strictly for
hidden to hiss in a playhouse. and In
every theater there were a number of
''gardes Franchises" with strict orders
to arrest any person infringing the
law.
But the French are not easily put
down by silly regulations, and when
ever they see an opportunity they at
tack the authorities with that fearful

1t was a badly written. dull work,
and the people were waiting for a
chance to give vent to their opinion.
At last the chance came. The manage
ment had ordered a mechanical asp
for the great scene in the final act.
when Cleopatra puts an end to her
life.
The actress raised the asp, which
started kissing, whereupon a spectator
rose to his feet and cried: "The asp is
quite right. We all share his opinion!'
Roars of laughter greeted this joke,
and as it was foreseen that a similar
scene would take place every night the
piece was withdrawn from the roper
tory.
