Tue EveENING TRAIN SERVICE. 
The Shore’s need of a more con- 
venient evening train service has been 
laid before the General Passenger 
Agent of the Boston & Maine Rail- 
road. The suggestions which have 
been made provide for a train later | 
than the present evening train going 
Boston-ward between 6.30 and 7 
o'clock and another train leaving bos- 
ton about ten o’clock—thus obviating 
the necessity of waiting from 9.15 to 
11.24 to leave for the Gloucester 
branch. ‘The matter has been pre- 
sented to the authorities and the prop- 
osition will be considered. Public 
service requires this convenience of 
the Boston « Maine Railroad. A pe- 
tition will not be of much value, but 
personal letters sent to the General 
Passenger Agent might help. The 
absence of electric car service en- 
hances the obligation of the railroad 
to give good service and the public 
will look for these trains on the new 
schedule. 
THE Nortuo SuorE Can Win Ir. 
The Panama-Californian Exposi- 
tion through its Board of Directors 
have made an offer which will be of 
interest to the professional gardeners 
of the Shore. A hardy rose is re- 
quired to be planted profusely about 
the grounds of the exposition in 1915, 
at San Diego. ‘lo stimulate the cul- 
ture of such a new rose, a prize of 
$1,000 is offered. The contest is 
open to florists anywhere in the 
United States. ‘This offer should in- 
terest the experts of our shore and 
judging from the local success at the 
rose displays of the Horticultural so- 
ciety, there is no reason why the prize 
for the San Diego rose should not 
come East.

taries or waters from any other 
sources as an additional water supply. 
The board shall have power to em- 
ploy such engineering or other assis- 
tance, and to incur such expensé as 
may be necessary for carrying out the 
provisions of this resolve. The said 
board shall make its final report with 
plans to the next general court on or

“For unique ideas commend me to 
my Western friends,” said the wo- 
man. “A cousin from Kansas City 
visited me last week. When we 
were about to start down town the 
day after her arrival she said :— 
“Oh, by the way, have you any 
strong, smelly cheese in the pantry?’ 
“T said I had none. 
““Then I believe I’ll run around

said. ‘I have a few small pieces of 
jewelry that I do not want to take 
with me. To make sure that no 
burglar will get them I'll just wrap 
them up between slices of that cheese. 
They'll be perfectly safe there. I al- 
ways hide them that way at home. 
A burglar can pick any kind of a lock 
and is likely to run away with any-
