How many times d. you suppose the
Norway train runs the length Of the
Norway Branch every Sunday during
the summer season? Perhaps twenty
times? Conductor Wilson says thirty
two times, or sixteen round trips. II
meets nine trains on the main line for

times for each train, as il does for most
of them, that would make thirty six
times over the rails, but where the
trains are near enough together in time
they save one trip, so that the possible
total is reduced little.

A band of gypsies of some half dozen
teams, 10 all the gaudiness and dilapida'
ton which have characterized this
mysterious people for centuries, and
doubtless with all the thievishness and
iudispositiOn to work which are like
wise their racial characteristic, struck
town Friday evening. Sheriff Frothing'
ham without elaborate ceremony gave
them the customary counsel to "Movs
on" and they had little chance to work
