Squire Sutfolk's Subscription.

GQUIRE SUFFOLK was the richest
W man in North Grafton, and gos-
sip said the stingiest. "As close as the
bark of a tree," as they described him, for
in country place like North Grafton a
small fortune entities one to rank with the
that the Squire was not SO narrow as they
believed. How true it was, let Miss Gath
rine Poore answer. Miss Poore, who took
in sewing, and had made more than one
piece of fine linen for the Squire, and who,
during her vacations and hours of relaxa-
ton, purveyed for the parish, or any needy
body who came in her way-one human
creature being quite as worthy as another
of her aid and sympathy. a..U
One summer morning, Miss Poore tied
on her straw bonnet---the identical bonnet
she had bought with the money Squire
Suffolk had paid her five years ago, and
which bonnet she had sewed over with her
own fingers four separate times, in order to
be as near the fashion of the day as respec-
liability required-so that one morning she
tied on this work OF art, and taking her
purse, as necessary precaution she be-
leved, bent her steps along the blooming
country road toward the imposing mansion
of Squire Suffolk, on charitable thought
intent.
Now Miss Poore was no blooming miss
of twenty, with dimples coqucting with
bushes on her cheeks, and eyes running
over with lovely mirth and peach bloom OF
youth thrown like a glamour over all She
was simply plain woman Of forty, OIL
thereabout, with face in no way remarka
Bile, except for its expression Of kindness
and humor; and these, be it said, are facel
that best outliye youth, and catch at las
the reflections of the spirit, and grow beau
tiful in the illumination of good deeds ant
pure thoughts. Miss Poore was just tn
one to beg for others and desire nothing 70
herself; just the woman to make thous

For the Bloomfield Times
Dolly Warden Visits Perry County.

There came to town the other day
A lady fair in ribbons gay, rI
Who worshiped Fashion and Display;
And this was Dolly Warden.
This s'far off bird with feathers fair
Was scrutinized with envious care,
In hope that some neglected hair
Dis1gured Dolly Warden.
But sly inspection sought in vain
To find fault from plume to train;
And each was foremost TO obtain
The grace of Dolly Warden.
But, once the Scepter in her hand,
Entreaty yields to stern command;
For she, so suppliant once and bland,
Is regal Dolly Warden. ....
The ladies Bless them! How their hearts
O'erflow with love for her whose arts
Can make husband show his parts
And this is Dolly Warden.
The dry-goodsman, intent to win
An honest penny for pin,
ga fresh arrival' orders in
Express for Dolly Warden.
The priestess of "the latest style''
Surveys the costly silken pile, .-.-.
And then pronounces 1t too vile
For dainty Dolly Warden.
In vain the merchant tries to show
The goods were ordered so and SO,
1t was sell and would not 20,
With pretty Dolly Warden.
There was no number fifteen there;
"The fifteen's broader by hair"
"Would you insult me /? Would you dare ~
Cries ireful Dolly Warden. nH
Such gross indignities as these l
Demand that trickery should seize
Another victim to appease
The wrath of Dolly Warden.
A self-devoted martyr bows
With complaisance upon his brows;
And to ribbon bill allows,
His name for Dolly Warden.
The goods for Dolly Warden came
Otis true she had not signed her name,)
The bill was large, and hence became
A bore to Dolly Warden H
Her heart was full; not SO her purse,
She was not furious, she was porse;
Her agents failings to rehearse
Began Miss Dolly Warden. J
"You lie" and "liar'' plump and square,
In bolts of super-heated air,
Passed back and forth between this pair,
Her "sub" and Dolly Warden.
Now, you who chance to meet this lay,
Take heed from this propitious day,
Or You may have a billt pay
For pretty Dolly Warden. .

phia, giving vivid account of the cele'
brated Indian Chief, Tecumseh, as he
appeared to him on memorable occa-
sion, when the great Indian saved the
life of the gallant boy Captain, then
prisoner
You ask me for description of the
celebrated Indian warrior, Tecumseh,
from my personal observation. l answer
that never saw the great Chief but
once. and then under rather exciting cir
cumstances, but l have a vivid recollec-
ton of his appearance, and from inter-
course with his personal friends, am pos
sessed of accurate knowledge OF his
character.
/ was, as you know, one of the pris-
oDers taken at what is known as Dudleys
defeat on the banks of the Maumee river,
opposite Fort Meig's early in May, 1913.
Tecumseh had fallen upon our rear, and
we were compelled to surrender. We
were marched down to old Fort Miami
or Maumee, in squads where terrible
scene awaited US.
The Indians, fully armed with guns,
ar-clubs and tomahawks-to say moth
ing of ..scalping knives--had formed
themselves into two lines in front Of the
gateway between which all of us we're
bound to pass. Many were killed or
wounded in running the gauntlet. Short
" after the prisoners had entered, the
indians rushed over the fallen fort walls
and again surrounded US, and raised the
war hoop, at the same time making IN
mistaksble demonstrations of violence
We all expected to be massacred, and
the small British guard around Us were
utterly unable to afford protection. They
called loudly for Gen. Proctor and Col.
Elliott to come to our relief. at this
critical moment, Tecumseh came rushing
In, deeply excited, and denounced the
murderers of prisoners as towards.
Thus our lives were spared, and we were
sent down to the feet, at the mouth Of
Swan creek (now Toledo, and from that
place across the end Of the lake TO HUI
ROD, and paroled.
shall never forget the noble counte-
nance, gallant bearing, and sonorous
voice Of that remarkable man, while ad-
dressing his warriors in our behalf.
HeWas then between forty aud forty
Eve years of age. His frame was vigor-
Gus and robust, but he was not fat
weighing about one hundred and seventy
pounds. Five feet ten inches was his
height. He had high, projecting fore
head and broad, open eounteaance, and
there was something noble and command
ing in all his actions. He was brave,
humane, and generous, and never allow
ed prisoner to be massaered if he
could prevent it. At Fort Miami he
saved the lives of all of US who sur
vived the running of the gauntlet. He
afterwards released seven Shawnees be-
longing to my command, and sent them
home on parole. Tecumseh was Shaw
nee. His name signifed, in their Ian
gusge. The Shooting Star At the time
when saw him he had the commission
of a brigadier general in the British
army. am satisfied that he deserved
all that was said of him by General Cass
and Gov. Harrison, previous to his death.

the shutting off of young man named
Rufus Ripley, who held clerical posi-

but he suffered with neuralgia pains, and
worried somewhat over the recent death
of his father. On Friday morning last
he left his desk in the Bank of New
York, walked up stairs, a1d fired pis

COMMERCE. OF THE UNITED STATES
of the commerce of the

amazing rapidity that we would be ena-

with all manner of manufactured goods
at extravagantly low rates, but would
soon be in position to compete success
