THE RAMBLER 
An auto bus service for the trans- 
portation of both passengers and 
freight is one of the possibilities of 
the near future for small towns and 
_ villages that are not connected by 
trolley cars. These buses will make 
regular trips back and forth between 
city and town, and will carry freight 
and express matter in one compart- 
ment, and passengers in another, Al- 
ready the passenger bus, and the mo- 
tor delivery trucks are common in 
cities. But it remains for a combina- 
tion of the two to appear for the bene- 
fit of small yee 
A subscriber considerably interest- 
ed in things agricultural has suggest- 
ed to me that Ipswich would be, in his 
opinion, the best location for the Es- 
sex County agricultural school. His 
reason is that the marsh land problem 
could be studied and experimented 
upon right at home and he claims that 
the reclamation of marsh land will be 
a big thing in the not far distant fu- 
ture. He also calls attention to the 
fact that many towns and cities along 
the coast have acres and acres of 
marsh land, that is now of little use, 
but which, if reclaimed, will add much

When Ex-Gov. Benj. F. Butler 
lived at Annisquam the village butch- 
er accosted him one day. 
“General,” he said, “If a dog 
should jump into my cart and run 
away with a piece of meat could I 
collect damages from the owner of 
the canine?” 
“Why, certainly,” replied the Gen- 
eral. 
“You are positive?” persisted the 
man. 
“Of course I am,” thundered Butler. 
“Well, General, it was your dog.” 
said the butcher. 
“How much was the meat,” asked 
the general abruptly. 
“Five dollars.” 
Butler hastily pulled a piece of pa- 
per from his pocket and writing some- 
thing upon it passed it to the man who 
thought he had the better of the ex- 
governor with the remark: 
“There, you owe me a dollar.” 
Gen. Butler had made out a bill of 
six dollars for legal peru 
The Boston park board threatens 
to curtail the privileges of one of the 
city’s most amusing Sunday after-

on Boston Common. If you have 
never attended one it is worth your

on some fine Sunday afternoon.

XXIV. 
By JosEpH A. ToRREY. 
The earth is thine in all its fullness, Lord; 
Yea, the round world and they that dwell therein; 
Upon the floods it hath established been— 
From chaos called by thy creative word. 
Who shall ascend unto His holy hill, 
Or stand before Him in His holy place! 
They, only, shall behold His loving face 
Who with pure heart obey His perfect will. 
Lift up, lift up your heads, ye ancient gates, 
And be ye lift, ye everlasting doors, 
That so the king of glory may come in. 
Who is the king that comes in glorious state! 
The Lord is He whom earth and heaven adores, 
The Lord of hosts who conquers death and sin!

convince you that you have doped it 
out correctly. If your religious be- 
lief is not just to your liking one of 
the performers in the open-air forum 
will fix up a faith while you wait. 
When it comes to strange ideas there 
is anything you want and plenty of 
it. If you are anxious to learn how 
to run the universe or manage a rail- 
road you can acquire that knowledge 
from one of the socialistic orators 
that always abound. Most men who 
run railroads grow up to it after a 
life-time of toil and study, but the 
socialistic representative who has 
had wide experience as a hotel waiter 
will tell you where James J. Hill, Mel- 
len, Morgan and others have made 
their mistakes. No, you can’t have 
Sunday vaudeville in Salem, but Bos- 
ton Common supplies it in great big 
chunks. If Boston’s park board is to 
limit the privileges of these expound- 
ers of strange doctrines let me sug- 
gest that they invoke the aid of the 
alienists rather than the police. —

TwisteD His ORDER 
Fogg tells us of a Spoonerism 
which he heard the other day in a 
restaurant. A diner entered and af- 
ter a glance at the bill of fare said to 
the waitress: “Bring me some boiled 
horse with beefradish.” 
Sweet THOUGHTS

thoughts of revenge ?” 
“Why?” she gasped. 
“Because,” he answered, “revenge is

Then she told him she thought to- 
morrow would be a good time to see 
papa. — London Telegraph.
