TRIES TO MAIL LETTER;
FIRE ALARM TURNED IN
WOMAN MISTAKES ALARM BOX
FOR UNCLE SANS MAIL BOX
IN RAYMBAULTOWN.

Calumcts IRE lighting machinery
manner on Wednesday evening. The
attempt ot a Raymhaultown woman to
post letter. and her installing of
the IRE alarm box situated on the
corner OF Calumet avenue and "A"
street Raymbaultown (BoX 10 for
the mail box. caused an alarm to come
in from that station In the six fire
engine houses of Calumet, the tremen
responded and We're prepared To rem
der valiant service. Fortunately they
learned the occasion for the alarm be-
fore being put 10 any greater incon-
yerience.
The woman, evidently was none too
familiar with the public conveniences
provided at different places through
out Calumet either ehe fire alarm
system or that provided by Uncle Sam
To facilitate the posting of mail mat
ter. She approached the box with
some hcsitancy and studied the con-
triNancc. Finally she decided the only
way she could get her letter securely
on the inside. was 10 break the glass
i'm front Of the key. The opening Of
the box was a simple matter, but even
then she could find no opening through
which To insert her letter. Finally she
came To the conclusion ths little hook
on the inside OF the box was for the
purpose OF pulling aside shutter.
She gave il vigorous jerk. setting
the electrical apparatus in motion and
actually turning in a fire alarm. Az she
reached this point in the operations,
the attention of passersby was at
tracted and an inquiry revealed the
mistake Every effort was eNerted to
save the waiting firomen any further
! inconvenience. and il is a pretty safe
/ conclusion that the same mistake will
not again be made by the same WOO
man.

The property Of the Brattleborc
Creamery association is advertised for
sale for $4,000, A number Of years
ago the association was organized and
was conducted more or less success
fully. 1t was closed three years ago
because the milk producers of Brattle-
boro and vicinity preferred to ship
their milk to Boston, and although
there have been instances where diff
fculty has been experienced in making
satisfactory financial settlements there
is no prospect Of re-opening the local
creamery.
