On Saturday last, dam across Miller

way, and the water came rushing dow N
upon the manufacturing villages below

the stream of thirty feet. A man started

make, nearly two hundred men, women
and children were overtaken by the flood
and drowned.
NUMBER OF BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
At Williamsburg, factory and twenty
seven houses were blotted out; at Hay

Much obliged to the Grange Lodge for
their confession that others sell goods
fc- less than their store. All intelligent
farmers, who know business, look around
and thereby find that goods have declin-
ed from 10 to 20 per cent. since last fall
and we are ready to prove it. No Mo-
nopoly-you can tell all yorr friends how
much you pay, where you buy. You can
always buy at the lowest prices. Thank

National Aid for State Schools.

Hon. G. F. Hoar's educational bill,
now before Congress, and which Wash
ington gossip says is likely to pass, is in
tended to offer premium to all States
to establish schools for the free education
of all its children between the ages of
six and sixteen years. 1t provides that
all moneys realized from the sale of
public lands shall be set apart for edu-
cational purposes, and shall be distribu-
ted among the several States, according
to population, provided that the States
claiming their proportion shall establish
free schools, make annual reports, and
show that moneys previously granted to
them have been used for the purpose
required by the act. Other sections pre-
scribe the manner of the distribution,
the disposition to be made ofthe moneys
not claimed or not allowed, and penal
ties for misapplication of funds. The
proposed law is not of any great impor-
lance to the older States, where schools
have already been established, but it is
claimed that the establishment of such
an educational fund would stimulate the
newer States to the building up of a
public school system as efficient in reach
ing all classes of the community as the
schools of New England and the Middle
States. To further aid those States hav-
ing an incomplete system, it is provided
that for. the first five years the distribu-
tion of the fund shall be according to the
ratio of the population of ten years old
and upwards who cannot write.

Love of Home.

The heart has memories that never
die The rough rubs of the world can
not obliterate them. They are memo
ries of home-early home. There is a
magic in the very sound. There is the
old tree under which the light-hearted
boy swung many day; yonder the river
in which he learned TO swim, there is
the house in which he knew a parents
protection; nay, there is the room in
which he romped with brother and sis
ter, long since alas! laid in the cemetery
in which he must soon be gathered,
over-shadowed by yon old church,
whittier with a joyous troop like him.
self, he has often followed his parents to
worship. Why, even the very school
house, associated in youthful days with
thoughts of tasks, now comes to bring
pleasant remembrances of many occa-
sions that call forth some generous ex-
hibition of the noble traits of human
nature. There is where he learned to
feel some of his first emotions. There,
perchance, he first met the being who,
by her love and tenderness in life, has
made home for himself, happier even
than that his childhood knew. There
are certain feelings of humanity, and
those too among the best, that can find
an appropriate place for their exercise
only by ones own fre-side.

A Trousseau on Short Time.

1t does not take long preparation
for marriage if the loving couple mean
business. J. Q. Adams, of Michigan,
had lived bachelor till he was forty
and had no time to lose. He went into
a dressmaking shop in Detroit one morn
ing and asked the head business woman
if she could make a merino dress by
three o'clock in the afternoon. She
said she could. John Quincy went out
and came back Immediately leading an
Audrey-looking girl of about seventeen,
wearing calico dress and straw hat.
She had bundle of stuff for dress un-
der her arm. She agreed to help make
the dress, and sat down at a sewing-ma-
chine and helped. John walked up and
down in front of the shop, as constant
admonition that he was superintending
the contract. The gown was finished on
time and the girl put in it. In the
meantime John had hailed preacher
looking man and asked him if he could
hitch up couple for life. He said that
was a branch of his business He was
retained. John asked the proprietor OF
the shop if she had any objection to the
use of the dress where it was made. She
had not, and SO John Quincy Adams
and the Michigan Audrey stood up and
were married in that dressmaking sane
tuary. John emptied his pockets OF
all the nickels and pennies he had
a bushel in bulk, 1925 by count, and
gave it to the preacher for having de-
tanned him. And that business pail
walked out into the wide world, arm in
arm, looking happy. Bliss is cheap il
