The bowling attraction for next 
week, at the local alleys, will be a 
match between the Manchester All- 
Stars and the Ideal Strollers, from

48 pins, the total being 1323 to 1275, 
and the Ideal Strollers beat the Man- 
chester All-Stars this week by 78

A miniature geyser was caused by 
the breaking of a water hydrant at 
the corner of Washington st. and 
Norwood ave. last Friday night when 
a car collided with the hydrant. With

the high pressure system that Man- 
chester boasts a stream of water 
spouted into the air for 50 feet and 
flooded things in general until the 
mains were disconnected fully an 
hour afterward. North street served 
as a conduit for the miniature river. 
It developed after investigation that 
it was a Ford car,—and that accounts 
for the serious damage to the hydrant 
and the little damage to the car. In 
fact the machine kept on its way 
toward Gloucester without even stop- 
ping. Such a small accident doesn’t 
even jar a Ford. Along toward mid- 
night when the machine came back 
_from Gloucester the driver slowed 
up and looked in amazement at the 
broken hydrant and hustling work- 
men, but not a word did he utter. It 
appears, however, that Officers Bul- 
lock and Sheehan saw the machine 
pass through town early in the even- 
ing and were on the point of holding 
it up because of poor lights. Officer 
Bullock got the number. They sur- 
mised it was the same car, and Tues- 
day Chief Sullivan summoned Leslie 
W. Drysdale of Lynn in court. In 
court Wednesday Drysdale admitted 
it was his machine. He was fined 
$25.00, and will probably be called 
upon to pay for the hydrant. The 
water pipes were not back in working 
order until the middle of the fore- 
noon following the accident.

EstaBLISHES BuREAU TO REPORT ON 
ForEIGN CREDITS. ' 
The work of winning foreign mar- 
kets for more American goods re- 
ceives decided impetus in the Amer- 
ican Express Company’s announce 
ment of its new service department 
for American manufacturers seeking 
foreign trade,—plans for which have 
been in process for nearly a year. | 
According to President George C. 
Taylor of the American Express, this 
department has been organized to 
help American manufacturers get 
their goods into foreign markets,— 
by making use of the chain of exclu- 
sive offices of that corporation in Eu- 
rope, South America and the Far 
Fast. The services offered by this 
Foreign Trade Information Bureau 
include confidential reports on the 
business standing of foreign houses — 
and specific trade investigations of 
competition, ruling prices, credit 
terms and local conditions that may 
affect the sale of any American prod- 
uct, as well as the buying of foreign 
samples in overseas markets for in- 
spection and study by home manu-— 
facturers. Still another innovation is 
found in the use of an introductory © 
service at the foreign branches of this 
company, to insure interested consid-_ 
eration for American products from — 
foreign importers. ’ 
SHIN GLES and grippe that make you feel mean; 
Lending a fellow your mowing machine, 
Then have him ask if your razor’s keen 
To pare his Sunday corns. 
Neuritis, whiskey-itis, 
Lockjaw and mosquito-itis. 
Watching a coon with the St. Vitus 
Dancing the turkey trot. 
Missing your train—chilblains. 
Have your umbrella pinched every time it rains. 
Talking with men that have no brains— 
About a submarine. 
Letter-carriers—housemaid’s knee, 
Discovered by Wilson’s democracy ; 
To cure, drink kyannpeppertee 
And rub on Father John’s. 
Beating carpets, sawing wood, 
Makes you sleep well and your appetite good. 
I'll go to jail before I would; 
Or board at Hotel DePaige. 
Sifting ashes, the wind the wrong way; 
Having the hives on a hot summer day; 
Day after day a-swating flies, 
Paying your license the First of May 
On a dog not worth seven cents. 
Chewing the rag about mother’s pies; 
Trying to run down somebody’s lies; 
In the good old summer-time. 
Out with the gang the most of the night 
Trying to lead a double life; 
Mopping up the floor with your wife 
You'll find in the end don’t pay. 
Too lazy to work; too honest to steal, 
Telling others your troubles right off the reel; 
When offered a job tell how bad you feel,— 
Then growl because you’re broke. 
A janitor’s job is an endless delight. 
Climbing stairs all day and all night; 
But he must keep smiling, be cheerful and bright, 
And sing—“Shovel in the Coal.”

In the lottery of life if you’ve drawn a blank (wife), 
Commit some crime that’s state’s prison for life, 5S 
Or sharpen up your carving knife.  . 
Then your troubles will soon be o’er. .
