To Consider Incorporation. 
At the regular meeting of the North 
Shore Horticultural society to be held on 
next Friday evening, July 17, the subject 
of incorporation will be fully discussed. 
The society has been considering this 
matter for some time, but this will be the 
first real move made toward action. 
Members of the summer colony, who 
are interested in the society, are urging 
this move, it is understood. 
The Original Boston Food Fair. 
As an evidence of the grand scale on 
which the Boston Food Fair, is to be 
held under the auspices and manage- 
ment of the Boston Retail Grocers’ As- 
sociation this year in the Park Square 
Coliseum, one need only consider the 
magnitude of the arrangements in pro- 
viding the music. The first move made 
was to secure the most popular band in 
the country, Sousa’s, with the famous 
bandmaster himself wielding the baton. 
But this is not all. There will be still 
another band introduced during the run 
of the Boston Food Fair. It will be 
under the direction of one of the most 
famous musical conductors in_ the 
country and is well equipped to carry out 
the purpose of the management to make 
the Boston Food Fair distinctive for its 
high class music. 
Wonderland.. 
Frank L. Sylvis’ way of earning a liv- 
ing isto be dragged prostrate around the 
arena and then be hanged twice a day by 
the Pawnee Bill cowboys at Wonderland. 
How he survives the ordeal is a source 
of ceaseless wonder to the crowds that 
witness the proceeding. Sylvis is the 
luckless victim who impersonates a horse 
thief in the performance, and to whom 
summary justice is meted. out. Jose 
Bararo, Mexican man of the plains, is 
at the head of the band of vigilantes who 
swoop down upon the marauder. A 
lasso descends upon him and_ he is 
dragged from his stolen mount. Away 
gallops the captor, Sylvis flat on his body 
at the end of the rope. “Round the big 
arena Bararo and his men dash, their 
prisoner struggling vainly with his 
bonds, and his person the target of a 
continuous round of ammunition. The 
rope is looped over the cross piece; 
Sylvis, half strangled and choking with 
smoke and dust, is hauled high in the 
air. His life seems to go out with a last 
few spasmodic kicks, and he hangs limp 
and inert until cut down by Sheriff Paw- 
nee Bill and posse who appear. 
**T fear every time I feel that lasso 
around me and am jerked off my feet 
that it may be my last hanging,’’ Sylvis 
says, ‘but love of reckless adventure 
keeps me at it. I’ve been in the circus 
business for eight years and have per- 
formed all manner of so-called death- 
defying exploits, but my present job 
beats them all for taking chances.’’

A Ghain and its Links 
In telephoning there are three links in the chain that. constitutes “* good 
service’’: 1. The person calling. 2. The operator. 3. The person 
called. 
No matter how much any one or any two of these Jinks do to develop 
good service, the result is determined by the measure of co-operation of 
the third. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. 
If the person calling fails to consult the catalogue and gives a wrong num- 
If fails

answer promptly and the caller leaves the telephone, naturally there is no 
ber, the operator inevitably repeats the error. the person called to 
one on the line.’’ 
Being human, the operator—the third link—is liable to err occasionally, 
but careful analysis demonstrates that she is not fairly chargeable with many of 
the difficulties frequently ascribed to her. 
If Link No. 1 Gives the Right Number and Calls Distincly, and Link 
No. 3 Answers Promptly, the Telephone Company will be responsible for 
its part of the chain. If no higher motive actuated it, the motive of economy, 
or self-interest, would suffice. 
From any Pay Station you can sp2ak to any 
one of 300,000 telephones in the territory of the 
New England Telephone and Telegraph Company. 
Even if he is net a subscriber, you can arranie 
to have the person desired called to a Pay Station 
to talk to you.
