The Templar Social Club gave their
first reception at Grange Hall last
night. The attendance was not so
large as might have been expected
for an affair in measure connected
with so popular and numerous an
organization as the Good Templar
Lodge. Enough were present, how
ever, to make the reception very
pleasant, and the company enjoyed
the dance to their hearts content.
We shall have all the school ma'ams
in the county here next week.
Chas. Miller, the man who was found
in possession of lot of clothing and
jewelry stolen from the boarders ut the
U. S. Hotel last August, had his trial
in the County Court yesterday. De-
tective Officer Harris, who had the
affair in charge from the outstart, did
not stop with the simple detection
and arrest of the thief, but succeeded
in weaving such network of evidence
around him that escape from justice
was impossible. Miller was found
guilty by the jury of both charges
brought against him-petit larceny
and housebreaking-and he will re-
ceive his sentence to-day.

stantly about her person; Mr.. Buck
could not endure it. Notwithstanding
these and many other differences,
however, they were never known to
come to blows, and the tenderness
with which the old man regarded his
other self had even a touch of pathos
in it. When on his death-bed and
over seventy years of age, he sum-
moned Judge Cushing from Jefferson,
twenty miles distant, to make his
will, assigning as reason: "The
Judge is the only one of my acquaint-
ances who never spoke an unkind word
of Mrs. Buck.n He died in 1872, on
the same little farm which he had oc-
cupied for more than half century.
or his early history little or nothing
was known, but tradition said he came
from Pennsylvania and that he had
lived the same dual life from boyhood.
Whether it was some inexplicable
hallucinasion, or, what is scarcely
conceivable, twin souls alternately
controlling and sinking into allegiance
in the same body, is an enigma we
leave as we found, unanswered.

The only absolutely certain way of
inculcating habits of economy Is to
begin with children, and accustOm
them to self-contrOl and self-denial by
saving portion of their pocket
money or the earnings of odd min
utes. There will be even greater
necessity for economy in the next
generation than this, since now, the
bounteOus gifts of nature are being
very lavishly drawn upon, and our
successors arc likely to live under mar
rover conditions than we do. The
city of Ghent, Belgium, has set us a
good example i'm this matter. With
out Government influence, and main
ly through the instrumentality of the
school and schOol-mistresses
Of that city, five-sevenths Of the chill
dren who attend the schools have be-
come savings bank depositors. They
bring their centimes to their teachers,
who deposit for them; and 1902 of
the attendants upon the schools are
thus praCtiCing frugality. Out of T.
$50 boys and girls in the primary
counts, the aggregate sum deposited
by them, according to paper read
before the British Association by j.
Fitch, being 294,6O2 francs. In the
infant schools (the habit of saving be-
gins thus early), there are 5000 chill
dren of whom 1,020 are depositors of
66, ,323 francs. In the primary schools
fdf the classes who pay for instruc-
tiOn, there are 1,070 scholars, $40 of
whom deposit 22,7S7 francs; and in
tho schools for adults, held evenings
and Sundays, out OF 1926 men and
women, 1850 are depositors to the
amount Of 09, ,252 francs. Thus over
100000 are deposited in the savings
bank through this agency in that lit
tie city.

A New Use for Congressman.

We see In one of the papers a para
graph from Washington letter.
which says that it costs the govern.
ment two thousand dollars to bury a
congressman who dies at the capital.
we should not have noticed the state
ment but for the fact that we have
come across another statement To the
1Oil0W1ng effect: Recently an ec-
centric Engiishman died and left
hity pounds in his will to a London
gas company on condition that n
should convert him into gas in one of
Its crucibles. Now, If IL is really
practicable to make gas out of an
ordinary human being, imagine how
enormous would be the quar- tity that
could be made from an average Con-
gresham, who Is chiefly composed of
gas Therefore instead of SPENDING
SO much money for funerals, we i'm,
sist that hereafter every defunct Con-
gresham shall be turned over to the
gas company to be worked up and run
through a meter and be sold by the
cubic foot. 1t would bo an UNUSUALLY
exhilerating experience to read a
newspaper by the light of a yapor-
lzed Congressman, and turn that
statement out when we get into bed
There are great many Congress-
men who never will throw light ON
anything unless they are put through
crucible and emitted from the burn
Adeler.

Sadly True.

The sensations of an editor on first
glancing over his paper and detecting
errors in 1t are somewhat different
from those experienced by the reader
on making like discoveries. The
latter Is either amused at the blunder
or incensed at the carelessness which
causes 1t, and In both cases arrives at
the conclusion that the trouble Is
avoidable, and that the editor is to
blame for not avoiding 1t. He never
saw an editor take his first glance
over a copy of the edition. Perhaps
the edition is worked off when this
opportunity Is offered the weary man.
He has either trusted the proofs to
some one else or read them himself,
but the feeling of dread Is just great
I'm the latter as In the former case.
The proof-reader may not consult the
