Three cases that came te light dueing the day indicate that the telegraph company is managing to get wome of its messages through from Put- nam te Danieison, & distance of about tem wmfies, in as short a period as two This is remarkably efficient, all thinzs oceasidered. In connection with this fast wervice, however, due credt must be giv- on the postoffice department, .which is delivering by letter carriers some of the telegrams that are being rushed through in 4% hours. Last Friday afternoon a message was fied in an lowa town for & young woman who lives on Brod street. Great speed was made in handling this particular tel- agram, which arrived in Putmam during Friday evening. It was teiephone to Dan- elsen on Monday. Friday, Merrill Gallup of Brattlebore. Vt, on his way home to spend the holi- day with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ar- thur Galiup, of Broad street, sent a tele- gram from Worcester to jnform his peo- ple that he would arrive here on the boat train. The telegram reached Putnam promptly. It arrived at the Gallup home Monday, when a letter carrier brought it up from the Danielson postoffice. In the meantime the sender was back at work in Brattlebore. Another high speed record was made in delivering a message for Mrs. W. D. Jacobs. The extraordinary feat of trans- mitting it from Putnam to Danieison was necomplished in the marvelous time of two days. it is well that the public should know how the telegraph company is exertin® jtaelf to earn the meney that it callects for the message it transmits. It even roés so far as to pay telephone charges (o get a message through to you, if you happen to have A telephone, and failing thie mess to the extreme of buying United States postage stamps and adds to the burden of smployes: work by getting the mailed missive over to the postoffice in order that a person to whom a tele- mram i4 sent may not he disappointed. Tn due time it is hoped to deliver telegrams here was as great rapidity as letters came through by stage coach in the zay old davs. Consider. though, what is hound te hap- pan some day when a message teiling that someone who may be dving is calling for a dear relative or friemd in Daniel- won or the surroundng territey. There will not he much of a joke about a two davs' delay in the delivery of a message »f that nature.
