Il firemen sometimes are not free from the propensity to lose command of them- selves in a moment of great excitement it isn't strange that a good old lady in Franklin many years ago, when a store took fire, and the house where the lady lived was expected to soon succumb to the flames, made a heroic effort to save her household furniture, or a part of it, hy carefully gathering up her flatirons and carrying them to some distance to # neighbors so they would not be con- sumed, and at another time the occupant of the builtling took a basket and tend- erly packed his best china and then calmly went to the open window and poured it out of the banket to the ground below.

Another landmark bas been laid low hy the efforts of time, the carpenters, The first address was made by Rev. Eddy T. Pitts of Somerville on "The Church and the Children." He spoke of the relation of the two and how the church regarded children. The child should be appreciated, first for the sake of the church. The church is a necess- change of owners and modern improve ment, and the old Metcalf homestead ou Wasbington street is no more. The hanild- ing was in the eighteenth century style, two stories at the front and one at the back, and in the red paint of fifty years ago that never wore off. The building stood on Washington street where at the present time the village part of the town leaves off and the country begins.

Precautions Taken.

The state board of health having had careful tests and analyses made of the water taken from various wells and springs used by typhoid fever victims in Franklin, in order, if possible, to deter- mine the origin of the disease, reports to our local board of health that "all of them show evidence of contamination, some of them to a considerable extent." Our local board can justly congratulate itself that in its last report to the town it called attention to thix very matter and warned the people of Franklin against using the water of wells, no matter how good they may at one time have been.

Mis, W. O. Ballantyne, who has been in the missionary tield nt Rabari, India, for the past lifteen years, spoke most Interestingly of the work there. She dwelt upon the marriage and other ens- toms, the condition of women, told of the growth of the work, and how rager were the people for the tinths of the gospel. She referred to the awful state of affairs brought about by the famine, and how it had thrown many children into their care, resulting in good. The language was difficult to master, but the results were far-reaching.
