 The trolley service was delayed for some length of time last Sunday after noon. The special yellow car ran off causing considerable excitement among some twenty passengers, but no damage was done. After a couple of hours work the car was righted and wended it's way slowly to the borough. On the return trip it left the track again at the same spot. Another hours work and it was able to con- tinue on it's way to Rockville. Evidently the old car thought it had spent years enough in faithful service and it was time for vacation. 19
 The following taken from the Bos. ton Post will be of interest to local readers: 'Four-year- r-old Charlie Ma gill, balancing on the back of a pew, illustrated sermon on "Childhood and Youth,". which his father, the Rev. Andrew Magill, preached in the First Presbyterian church of Jamaica, L. I. Charlie began to get fidgety ill his seat the minute his dad stepped into the pulpit. He bounced up and down on the cushions, and finally he stood up in the pew. Then Charlie climbed on the back of the pew in front of him, reached the top safely, balanced himself an instant and then tumbled headlong out of sight. The solemn atmosphere of the church was shaken immediately by a wave of laugh hter, which tripled in force when Mr. Magill solemnly announced this text for his sermon: Bring up al child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart therefrom.
