Certificates.
One afternoon he received a visit
from an irate mother.

my boy a poor nut'?'
Madam" said the astonished physi-

The PiIurim Winter
From the Fall River News

from the Eall RtVeT News,
At this time 800 years ago the Pill
grins of the Mayfower were in the
thick of their distress. They were la
boring as far as possible to get housing
accommodations on shore while they
went back and forth to their shelter in
the ship. They divided their company
into 10 families, putting the boys and
servants into families of married men.
Early on Sunday, January "a, the first
New England fire occurred The May
flower lookout discovered that the "co171
mon house" was in flames. A spark had
caught in the thatch The tide was out
and the shadows and high winds pre-
vented the men on board from getting
to the relief of those who were in the
common house." The house was
crowded with the bedding of most of the
adult men, severe! &c whom were very
i'll. The company domiciled in the "com-
mon house" felt that they were highly
befriended by a kindly Providence in
that their loaded muskets beside their
beds did not explode. The roof tirnbers
and the body of the log house were not
destroyed. On that Lords day no work
was done towards repairing the roof,
though all day a pitiless winter rain fell
upon them as they shivered with the
cold and drenching.
AS these days of our winter pass 1t is
well that we should note what has hap
pened in Plymouth from time to time as
lnat desolate and dreadful winter wore
away. Half OF the Maydowers COM
pany died that winter and were buried
on Coles Hill, the bluff above the rock
of the landing. But to their immortal
honor it can be said that when at last
the Maytiower was ready to return to
England, not a soul of that heroic band
desired to return.

NOISElESS GARBAGE
COLLECTORS

Those wierd cries of Here is
one" and wait, here is another"
in the stiffness of the night are not
fugitives, but merely the signals of
garbage collectors who are hunting,
with the aid OF searchlights, the gar
bage receptacles along the streets.
They are new at the job to be sure,
as is the job itself; we have al
ways in the past had our garbage
collected during the day when it
could be seen. Eventually the COL
lectors will learn to know the hid
ing places Of the receptacles, and
there won't be so much shouting;
and we make this explanation only
to still your fears that murder or
treason is being committed.
One other thing suggests itself in
connection with the new system
or one nights listening to it. Those
empty bottles-catsup or vinegar or
ginger ale,-which you want to dis
card ought to be buried and not put
in the garbage cans. On daylight
collections they can be tumbled in
to the trucks without exciting any
suspicion; but every one of them
drops with crash during the sill
ence of the night which dsturbs
your neighbor and makes him think
you are secretly trying to evade the
prohibition men by having them re.
moved at night So bury them,-or
fill them UP again, please.
