- Red Cross Stamps Misused... 
Imed with letters bearing Red 
ss stamps and other Christmas or 
rity stamps. Some of the letters 
n bear stamps advertising local 
itutions and business houses, 
e of which are directed to for- 
- gountries. These are not 
smissible in the mails. The plac- 
g of such stamps on the face of 
velopes intended for delivery in 
opean countries renders the mat- 
ter unmailable. Heres 
For domestic transmission it is 
necessary that the envelope should 
bear domestic postage stamps in ad- 
dition to the Christmas stamps. For 
transmission to European countries 
% 
he envelope must bear the regular 
postage, and the Christmas or chari- 
ty stamp, if used at all, must be af- 
fixed to the reverse side of the en- 
velope. In order to prevent delay in 
the handling of matter bearing such 
stamps, particularly during the holi- 
day season, the covers or envelopes 
should bear the full name and ad- 
‘dress of the sender.

i At last it has arrived—the first 
‘snow storm of the winter. Tuesday 
a miniature blizzard struck us, but 
not of any alarming violence. After 
_ eonsiderable blustering throughout 
Tuesday, continuing over until Wed- 
-nesday morning there was enough 
‘snow to make sleighing fairly good. 
Merger Is Desired By Boston & 
ee Northern. 
_ Following the merger of the 
steam railroads comes the first de- 
cisive step toward merging the 
street railway lines by the Boston 
and Nothern and Old Colony street 
railway systems in three states,— 
‘“Massachisetts, Rhode Island . and 
New Hampshire, was taken Monday 
of this week, when President Pie 
Sullivan of the Boston and Northern 
filed such a petition with the legis- 
lature of Massachusetts. 
Special legislation is wanted to 
allow the purchase of the franchise 
and property of the Old Colony 
Street Railway Company 
terms agreed by both companies. 
_ The consolidation will mean the 
union of 900 miles and more of 
street railway tracks in three states 
from Nashua, N. H., to Newport R. I. 
- **Kind lady, 1’m just merely trying to 
_ |. keep ; 
Soul and body together!’’—he did look 
+ thin; ; 
But the lady did neither smile nor weep, 
As she handed the tramp a safety-pin!

those. who attend the theatre from 
the nearby towns, have taken a 
creat fancy to Mr. Wilson’s play

ment and the only matinee of the 
week will be given on Saturday. ~
