WENHAM 
Wenham people were interested 
in the announcement appearing in 
the Boston Sunday papers to the et- 
fect that their townsman, Charles 
'Hi. Leach, is a candidate for the 
Republican representative nomina- 
tion. Mr. Leach’s name was promi- 
nently mentioned two years ago; 
but when Mr. Long of Topsfield 
came forward as an aspirant for of- 
fice, Mr. Leach, feeling that he was 
not needed at the time courteously 
withdrew in favor of his friend. 
This year his hat is in the ring. 
Charles H. Leach is a life-long resi- 
‘dent of Topsfield and Wenham, in- 
deed, to use a Hibernicism, he has 
resided here for eight generations. 
As a scientific farmer and public- 
\spirited citizen, he is very highly 
_ regarded. 
Thursday marked the revival of 
the Wenham Lyceum, when in the 
Town hall it presented ‘‘The Tam 
O’Shanter Inn,’’ a musical comedy 
dear to every lover of high-class en- 
tertainment, especially to everyone 
“who ‘‘warms to the tartan.’”’ This 
event was of more local interest be- 
cause one of the singers, who is also 
manager, is a former Wenham boy, 
Leverett B. Merrill, now of Boston.

Wenham ice men were forced to 
suspend work at the lake Sunday 
afternoon because of warm weather 
and soft ice. As, however, they had 
several days in which to work be- 
fore this occurred, and as the ice 
was twelve inches thick and of ex- 
cellent quality, there is no great 
danger of famine next summer.

‘““The Society is doing laboratory 
work, and the information which 
we have acquired is of the greatest 
importance in determining the wis- 
dom of proposed legislation. It has 
taken a greater or lesser part in the 
drafting of legislation establishing 
the Juvenile Court, prohibiting 
child labor, providing for the prop- 
er maintenance of illegitimate chil- 
dren, for the support of abandoned 
families, for mothers’ aid and for 
the additional accommodation of the 
feebleminded. The Society has thus 
made a direct and valuable contri- 
bution to the laws of the State.’’ 
During the year the Society pro- 
tected 12,513 children in 233 Mass- 
achusetts cities and towns. 3,754 
people throughout the State contri- 
buted to the work an average of $8 
each. $10,000 is needed to make up 
the year’s deficit. 
Do not try to be anything else but 
a gentleman or a gentlewoman; and 
that means one who has considera- 
tion for the whole world, and whose 
life is governed by the Golden Rule: 
‘‘Do unto others as you would be 
done by.’’—Christian World.
