Peculiar Freaks of Mail Service.

| A short time ago a story went the
| rounds of the state press showing how
piece of mail sent from one postoflice
to another in the same building, located
ON the Canada line. would have to 90 by
roundabout way of over 100 miles in
order to reach its destination. Some of
the new postal rules concerning the hand
ling of mail on certain trains out of
Rutland make conditions nearly as ludi-
crous.
If a Rutland merchant, in a hurry to
get an order for produce to a North
Clarendon farmer who did not have a
telephone, should drop letter in The
mail box shortly after the departure OF
the eastbound morning mail train, the
transfer clerk would naturally put the
letter on the eastbound afternoon flyer.
This fast train does not stop at North
Clarendon. SO it would take the letter
to point below Keene N. H.. where
it "back pouches" for the northbound
evening train and the letter would reach
its destination about $3.50 p. M, after
trip of over $50 miles, although its des-
tination was three miles from the city
A similar situation would result ii a
letter were mailed at the station for
Clarendon, six miles away, soon after
the southpound morning train had de-
parted. Such a letter would be put on
the flyer and taken to Manchester. 80
miles, where this train "baek pouches"
for the northbound flyer. The latter
train does not stop at Clarendon nor
does il back pouch" at Rutland, so
the letter would be carried through Rut-
land and north as far as Brandon, where
the flyer would leave il for the south
bound evening mail train, which leaves
Rutland at 6i35, thus getting the let.

The button was taken out without max
ing any external incision. II was about
a quarter of an in~h in diameter but
was so encrusted that il had attained
a size of about one inch. This fact
made it impossible TO remove the button
through the nostril, in its enerusted

was used to break it into pieces to en-
able the doctors to extract it.

The Capture of New York.

Captain Paul b. Malone of the United
States navy has written for the April
Century sketch in which he shows that
New York City, the key to the wealth,
commerce and industry of this country,
could easily be captured by foreign
power before there was time to con-
centrate enough trained men there to
protect it; and that this capture would
cripple the nation more than the COM
bined taking of Boston, San Francisco
and Washington.

BOYS ORGANIZE
.FORSEASON'S WORK

The first steps toward the re-or-

was taken last Saturday evening,
when meeting was held and officers
were elected for the coming season.
Robert Hunt was reelected as presi-
dent. Clarence f. Jones as secretary,
and Claude S. Hollett as secretary
treasurer.
Mr. Hunts fine work as president
last yea. has won for him the admir-
alton all the Church League man

ganization.
Applications we're heard from the

and it will not be known until the
next meeting whether the league

only or whether an addition of two
teams will be made
With the passing Of the Semi-pro-

now has the distinction Of being the

year Of its existence, and from pres
ent Indications it points to be the
best of its career.

Tnpe,o was treated to an affair
at tie p>.b,ic school Monday that
has never occurred here before,
and is seldom heard Of in any
school. While Prof. Wirdham
was chastising young Roy Gil
christ for INSTRUMENTATION the
latter pulled his pocket knife and
cut the professor across the brow,
infiicting a slight wound. Fol-
lowing this Gilchrist received a
thorough licking at the hands of
the professor. This row is the
elimination of a spirit of insu-
bordination that has been brew
ing since the school was opened
in the fall. There have been a
lot of young bucks out there who
were determined that they would
run the school to their liking or
bust. Professors Windham
and Milan have been busy with
them and quite a number have
been brought into subsection.
The good people Of Tupelo will
back them up in every STEP ne
cessary to make the school just
what it should be. In the Ian
guage of the supreme court of
New York, when a boy at
school refuses to obey the rules
thereof, his hide should be made
to pay for it," Lay it on, and
make a man out of the boy in
stead of letting him break into
the penitentiary.
