"REMINISCENCES

The visit of. POstOffice Inspector
Charles NJ Moore to Watertown recalls
old days in the Third ward. Mr.. Moore
is a son of the late Thomas Moore
and wife, who for many years in the
old days conducted a candy store in
West Main street, the haven of the
small boy with his pennies and the
adults for the more better things in
that line. The writer when a boy of
ten has traded his pennies for mar
bles, and generous quantity Of them
were given for one penny. The more
fortunate boys who had two or more
pennies divided their bank roll be-
tween marbles and candy, home made
at that
For many years Tom Moore's candy
store was the mecca for all in pur-
his name was famed all over this sec
ton of the state.
He and his gOodly wife have passed
to their reward years ago, but the
memory of their kindness and good
motives remains with all who knew
them
Charles Moore, one of the sons, was
a pal of the writer when in our teens.
Joe Ryan, George Ryan and a bunch
of other youths imbued by the spirit
portrayed by the Irish World at that
time, had the martial spirit and asked
the consent of the late Captain James
ROgan to use his sandhill as drilling
oh hni 70 frna Two
land Nothing came Of it. Charles
Moore, or 'Inky" as a sObriquet, was
indicted into the postoffice under the
late Justus T. Moak, then postmaster
He served his apprenticeship and went
out as railway mail clerk. He then
was transferred to a more important
position as postoffice inspector and
now holds high position in the postal
service of the country.
Renewing old times in WATERFOWL
he brought up the names of many OF
his friends of boyEood days on the
| west side But few of them remain on
this side of eternity, and his recurring
visits to the town of his birth but adds
to the number of his boyhood friends
who have gone before. So
But few there are in WATERFOWL
| who have a passing acquaintance with
| Charlie, but time was when he stood
at the letter delivery of the old post
office when but few were not &C
quainted with his face and personality
He was a kid then-now a man-but
he has not changed. To those who
knew him as boy he always remains
a boy until the reaper of mankind
| strikes the swath in which he stands
In those days there were a bunch OF
lads, some of whom have passed out
of mind. Tom Rickett, Foxy Freeborn
Frank Beaulieu, William Blair, E. J
O'Byrne, Eugene Callahan, Frank
Cummings, William Wilson, Arthur
Malloy, James Malloy, Theodore Poir-
Ter, Charles Roper, and others whom
we cannot now call to mind.
During the winter months skating
was afforded on the lots now Occu-
pied as residences at the corner OF
West Milwaukee and Church streets
The big pond at the Junction, now
filled in, afforded a swimming AND
rafting place and the banks of Rock
river near the Crangle spring an idea

and boil eggs. Blank was the favOrite
evening pastime and prison goal the
afternoon sport. Baseball was in its
infancy and the outdoor sports now
forgotten by the present generation
were in full swing.

In the same place each time. each

ney.
The rule given for the solution OF all
such problems is to add the distances
at which tie travellers meet to twice the
difference between those distances. This
gives US the answer: 7+4-11+6-17
miles
But there 10 curious and puzzling
application Of this rule, which is not
Explained in the textbooks. In the
given problem the factor Is the diff
ference in the speed OF the two motor
cars. Smith must have been travelling
10 miles to Green's I, as he met Green
10 miles from Smiths and only I from
Green's.
Assuming that the stop at the end
OF the Journey, being the same in both
cases. 10 negligible, by the time Green
had gone miles further Smith was
3 miles on his way back. BY the time
Green has finished the last 3 miles
to Smiths and 4 miles Of the return
Smith has completed his third 10 miles.
This shows that the speed Of the cars
differed by the same amount as the
difference between their meeting places
But now try to apply the rule to this
problem:
Suppose that Green met and passed
Smith 4 miles from Green's house. went
on to Smiths. turned right around
without stopping and returned to his
own house. arriving there at the same
time Smith got there. How far apart were
the two houses and how does the rule
given by the textbooks apply to the
answer!
