 Herman was not at all sympathetic with the schoolboys' proposals of crking for their admission and the reason for this it is whispered, is that some of them declined major roles in the acts, simply because of parental opposition.
 If the manager has got it right, and he says he has. "a bunch of teachers from Glastonbury be down tonight" Iie plans to put them on as the big attraction in the dance which is to follow the final curtain fall. Herman has instructed his lieutenants not to allow fruit of any kind to be carried into the hall.

 Tramway Company's Appeal The appeal of the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company from | an adverse decision in it's suit against
 G. A. Evaline and company has been assigned for argument in the su- preme court next Tuesday. The ac- tion was tried a few months ago in the superior court and the decision was favorable to the defendants The Evaline company had the con- tract for laying gas mains through | the streets of Plainville for the trolley people. Leaks in the joints were responsible for the death of d l number of shade trees and the com pany had to uncover all the pipes and spend considerable money in making repairs.

Pierce, counsel for the plaintiffs, took an appeal to the supreme court.

Once Upon a Cine.

My little child comes to my knee
And, Juggling, pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hear me tell
The Christmas tale beloved SO we'll
A tale my mother told me,
Beginning "Once upon time"
1t is a tale of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
or that great host. serene and white.
The shepherds saw one wintry night
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon a time.
This story Of the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice sublime
OF one who prayed alone and wept
While his wearied followers slept
And how his blood and Mary's tears
Commingled once upon a time.
And now my darling at my side
And echoes Of the distant chime
Bring that sweet story back to me,
OF Bethlehem and Calvary,
And Of the gentle Christ who died
For sinners once upon a time.
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones Of fluent rime
Like misty shadows fade away.
But this sweet story bides for aye
And. like the stars that sang Of old.
We sing Of "Once upon a time"

Authorities Want to Know Where

Washington, Dec. f.-Department of
justice officials are greatly interested
in the investigation by its agents of
activities Of Labor's National Peace
Council.
This organization, which first came
into prominence several months ago
with labor protest to the federal re-
serve board against the $500,000,000
loan to the entente allies, had been
under the departments eye for some
time and officials are particularly con-
cerned in the question of where it got
the money to finance its work.
Former Representative Fowler OF
Illinois figured in the protest to the
federal reserve board and others con-
nected with the council at that time
were Representative Buchanan OF Illi-

and Herman Schulteis.
