Reservoir Ripples.

When The municipal deluge comes, the
name of Scituate should be changed to
Waterbury.
The process Of drowning out the manu-
featuring establishments of Scituate is soon
to begin.
1t would seem to even the casual obser-
yer Of events in Sctuate that the selection
of that section for a storage reservoir is a
case of choice of land, rather than a
necessity for water.

FOREWORD
"THE DAREDEVIL" isn't
l. just an ordinary story

just an ordinary story
of a girl who masquer-
ades in mans clothing. There
is q vital reason behind it all.
It isn't all a lark, though
comedy turks on the footsteps
of the stout hearted pretender;
an American father, a French
mother and quick sympathies
that link fatherland and moth
erland in love that braves very
real dangers for the safety Of
one and the honor Of both. In
the story there is a most irr,-
sistible young man whose
name is Buzz and who lives up
to it. There is an irascible old
bachelor uncle, secretary Of
state to his excellency the gov
ernor Of Harpeth, "the great
est gentleman in the world"
But, best Of all, there is Ro-
berta, the daredevil" the
lovable heart of a mighty ika-
bic story. You may be sure she
viii captivate you, just as she
did those who knew her ''in
boots"

How the Great Prussian Statesman

1t was IN, good fortune to hear BIS
marck publicly discuss many important
questions. and his way of speaking was
not like that of any other man have
ever heard He was always clothed In
the undress uniform OF Prussian gen.
eral, and as he rose his bulk made him
imposing.
His first utterances were diSapp0int-
ing. He seemed wheezy. rambling. m
coherent. with sort Of buriensome
self consciousness checking his ideas
and clogging his words His manner
was fldgety his arms being thrown un-
easily about and his fingers fumbling
his mustache or his clothing or the
rapers on his desk.
He pulled. snorted and noundered.
seemed to make assertions without
proof and phrases without point, when
suddenly he would utter statement
SO pregnant as to clear up whole
policy. or sentence SO audacious as
to paralyze whole line Of his op-
ponen.s. or a phrase so vivid as to run
through the nation and e!ectrify 1t.
Then perhaps after more rumbling
and rambling came a clean. clear. hts
torical illustration carrying conviction.
Then very likely simple and strong
argument, not infrequently ended By
some heavy missile In the shape Of an
accusation or taunt hurled In the faces
Of his adversaries. Then perhaps al
