Violet Edmands in Thompson

Miss Violet Edmands of Brookline, the fiance of Rev. c. V. T. Richeson, who was indited Tuesday, by the Mid dlesex grand jury sitting at Boston, for the murder of Avis Linnell, was q guest at the Vernon Stiles tavern, Thompson, Sunday.
 Arrangements for her coming were made by telegraph and il was endea- vored to keep the matter secret.
 With Miss Edmands when she ar- rived at fhompson In big touring car, were her father, whose fortune will, 1t Is elaimed, be available for Richeson's defense her mother, and MT. and Mrs. Green oi New York, fel- atives of the Edmands, and a nurse.
 The party arrived at 2.30 in the after noon and went directly to their rooms without registering. Dinner was serv- ed them in their rooms. It was doubt less the intention to seek secluded spot where Miss Edmands could have rest and quiet after the trying ordeal which she has undergone. How long the party intended to remain Is not known but their departure about six hours after arrival is thought to have been sudden change in their plans. Miss Ldmands expressed her displeas- ure at the place selected for her stay and insisted upon leaving. Where. the party went is not known.
 People wondered why Thompson was selected and in the discussion of this question 1t became known that Rev. J. N. Garst, pastor Of the Thomp- son Baptist church, was classnate Of MT. Richeson and Is said to have visit ed him in Boston on the day that 1t is alleged that Richeson bought cyanide of potassium of Druggist Hahn Of Newton with whom MT. Garst is also acquainted. It is thought that the fact of this friendship of the two min- isters may have had something to do with the trip to this quiet spot.

They assembled in the hall and were treated to literary and musical program that included recitations and songs in French and German. The affair WAS highly entertaining. Later they in- spected the classrooms and other things of interest.
 Everyone was pleased with what they saw and had nothing but praise for the building, equipment and the work that Is being done. IL was stated and reiterated by the principal, mem- bers of the school board and others that the new environment would be productive of better and larger amount of work than the school has ever done before and these statements are being verified now that the school is well settled in the new quarters and running smoothly.

Good Advice to Shoppers

A lot of people buy for lot of other people something solid and substantial and useful for Christmas. Such arti- cles are already in stock. Others buy jewelry; the jewelry stores now teem with good things in their line. If you re going 10 be great big Santa Claus and want to buy her an automo- bile, you have your choice now of a lot of them. If it's house lot for the newlyweds in your family the lots are on view. If the gift is to be anything but the modern toys and little gew- gaws for the children, and the latest post cards, and affairs of that nature, or candy or flowers, the stores have them in plenty now and they can be bought. You must delay on candy and flowers and perishabie articles, of course, but the rest are with you now. -Ex.

Willingness to Work Rewarded

It is a uuism that when a man is willing and tends faithfully to his duties hts employers sooner or later notice him and he is advanced. Such is the case of Joe Buckwheat, late of Webster, now of Putnam, and 1t Is due to his "friends" who made sport of him that Joe now has one on them.
 Joe was an ignorant French Canadi. an. He could neither read nor write. He got a job as messenger at the Web- ster railroad station at S4 per week. Joe soon became favorite with the employees around the station. He WAS another let Joe do their work and he in his ignorance thought It all part of his S4 job. When he finally decided he should get raise in his pay all he was doing was to get up at 5,3O in the morning, get to the station before 6, take care of all the switchlamps in the Webster yard, cover territory of more than mile in this work, bring the mail bags to and from the trains and postotlioe, sweep up the station, take care of the boilers, help out the bag gage master, run erranda for the tele- graph operators and deliver messages that came by telegraph. In his spare time he made himself generally useful around the station.
 At at might Joe went home with the know ledge that his day $ work was done. He worked seven days week and he always got s4 week fos the work
 X correspondent of Worcester paper got hold Of the story and embel- lished it and Joe became somewhat of curiosity. But Joe's fortunes were about to take turn. Station Agent Baldwin of this city was favorablyim- pressed with Joe's record after he had made investigations and decided that so willing worker would be good addition to his force. So now Joe is a freight handler at the freight depot getting Sl0.i0 week and only works until 5.30 D. m. His work has proved most satisfactory so far and 1t Is safe to assume that his rights will be guard ed. Incidentally. the men around the Webster station miss Joe for they now have to do their own work.

 The committee that arranged the banquet was continued, and instructed to learn how to make the movement applicable to Putnam, and the meth ods best to be employed, and report at future meeting.
 A pleasing feature of the evening was the excellent singing by the Mems Bible class of ,the Baptist church, and the Methodist male quartet.
