THERE has been considerable excite
ment here OF late among Sewing Machine
dealers, from the fact that Messrs. Lehm-
kuhl & Dicke, the Manufacturers Agents
for the New Home in this section, have
been getting the largest share of the
trade. Some of the other agents want to
get the trade themselves, and try to in
iure the reputation of the New Home by
offering to furnish the New Home at less
than actual cost, Messers. Lehmkuhl
& Dicke say they are much obliged for
the free advertising, and advise every
one thatca get chance to buy New
Home whenever they can find one at less
than regular price, and if they will noti-
fy them, they will call and see that they
get the proper instructions and see that
the machine is kept in order free Of
charge. AS the manufacturers of the
New Home pay them for their time, they
viii see that every New Home gives per-
feet satisfaction, Or refund amount paid
and take the machine of their hands.

WHAT BECOMES OF DEAD BIRDS p
How strange it is that, considering the
millions of birds born every year, dead
ones are SO seldom seen. To each little
songster in turn comes the tragedy
sickness, decay and death-yet, even in
the woods, it is rare to find dead bird.
Who buries them? One can find it in
ones heart to believe in the pathetic
robins OF olden story, and turn up the
leaves to ZEE ii. perchance.. some stray
feather may not betray the hidden mau-
soleum. 1t IS odious to think that they
have become the pray OF others of their
species, or of enemies prowling in wait
for their hour of weakness. But nature
manages her affairs SO well that doubtless
the obsequies are conducted with order
and regularity, and if we had but eyes
to see them we should find relics of our
songsters doing their part to fertilize and
enrich the scene of their brief existence.

Coming down to more recent times
the most notable authentic instance OF
great age is that of Henry Jenkins, OF
Yorkshire, England, who died in 1870
one hundred and sixty-nine years old
He was a fisherman, and, at the age OF
one hundred. easily swan across rapid
rivers. Another historic case is that OF
Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, a day laborer,
who lived to the age of one hundred and
fOrtytw0 years. When more than one
hundred and twenty, he married his
second wife, and till one hundred and
thirty he could swing the scythe and
WELD the fail with the best of his fellow
lab0rers. In his one hundred and fifty
second year Parr went up to London to
exhibit himself to the king. 1t proved an
uRlucky visit, for, violating the abstem-
iOus habits of century and half, the
old man Toasted so literally on the royal
victualS that he soon died merely OF a
plethora. On examination his internal
organs proved to be in excellent condition.
and there was no reason why he should
not have lived much longer save for this
unfortunate taste of royal hospitality.
Professor Hufeland's roll of centena-
rians includes many more remarkable
cases, among them that of Mittlestedt, a
PruSSian soldier, who served siXty-seven
years unders both FrederickS, fighting
many battles and enduring much hard
campaigning, and who, after all this,
married successfully three wives, the
last when he was one hundred and ten,
only two years before his death.-Spring-

Charles w. stones Account of the Biz
Load Of Wood.

Charles w. stones Account of the Big
Load of Wood.
The Rev. DR.. Wellington was the old
TempletOn minister from early in the
eighteen hundreds and Col. Leonard
Stone was one of his Pensioners. 1t was
the custom to supplement the ministers
moderate salary with presents from the
products of the farms, especially with
wood. Now, Col. Leonard. one day in
January, 1922, was drawing to the par
sOnage some of his nice hard wood. 1t
was good OK lOad-twO cords or so. As
he was going across the common with it
his brother, Col. Ephraim, caught sight
of him from the store, and was surprised
at such great load.
'HellOp' says he, "why don't you take
your minister load of wood while you're
at it?"
"Now, look here" says Col. LeOnOard,
''Pye been saving out lumber down. the
mill, and there's any quantity of slabs.
I'll give the minister as big load as
you can takep'
Col. Ephriam was man for fun. He
instigated the tOwnspeople to take hold
with him and accept his brothers chal-
lenge. First. they made the sled. Long
trees were cut for the runners. These
were made thirty odd feet long and set
eight feet apart. The body of the sled
projected two feet over the runner on
each side. Thus the sled would hold
twelve regular cords at one layer. There
were two tongues, one in front of each
runner. al t
On the appointed day the men and
oil 70 tho
meeting place. The sled was taken to
the saw mill and backed up against the
great pile. On went the slabs with a
will. Col. Leonard stood by, laughing,
cheering, urging them along. When
they had got on as much as they thought
would do, they hitched up the team. One
hundred and sixty oxen, four abreast,
found it easy enough to pull. They had
to go around through Baldwinville, be-
cause there was not room at the Otter
River bridge for the sled to turn in.
When they had got on to the level ground
above Baldwinville, they stopped and I'M
hitched. Then with their everyday
sleds they went back to the mill to bring
more slabs and pile them on the big load.
This they kept up till there were no
more slabs. Forty cords lay piled upon
that sled. And the evening and the
morning were the first day.
The next morning came the rest of the
journey "up in town." The school child
rem were let out to see the great sight go
by. One of them, to whose home it was
going, says it looked as big as house.
1t lay unl0aded for quite while out by
the parsonage, and people came from
near and from far to see. 1t kept Mr..
Wellington in slabs for years to come.
When the great sled was taken to
pieces, some of the timbers were used in
building Mr.. Winch's barn, and may be
seen in the framework until this day

How Long Man May Live.

1t was Professor Hufeland's opinion
that the limit of possible human life
might be set at two hundred years. This
on the general principal that the life of
creature is eight times the years of it's
period of growth. That which is quickly
formed quickly perishes, and the earlier
complete development is reached the
sooner bodily decay enSues. More women
reach old age than men, but more men
attain remarkable longevity than women.
Some animals grow to be very old.
Horned animals live shorter lives than
those without horns, fierce longer than
timid, and amphibiOus longer than those
which inhabit the air. The vOraciOns pike
exists, 1T is said,' to an age of one hundred
and fifty years; the turtle is good for a
hundred years or more; and among birds,
the golden eagle is know to have lived
nearly two hundred years, while the sly
and SOmber crow reaches the venerable
age of century.
Passing up in the scale of life to man,
and skipping the patriarchs, we find
many recorded instances of longevity
among the classic Greeks and Romans.
Pliny notes that in the region of the
Emperor Vespasian, in the year rs, there
were one hundred and twenty-fOur men
living in the limited area between the
Apennlnes and the Pc of one hundred
years and upward, three and four over one
hundred and thirty-fiye. CicerO's wife
lived to the age of one hundred and three.

Presiding Elder Fishers Mountain
TriD.

Mr.. O. L. Fisher, Presiding Elder of
the Northern Colorado district, has Just
returned from trip to Caribou, and
gives his ministerial brethren an anus
ing and graphic account of his trip to
the mountain CAMP When he left
Boulder on horseback to climb the noun
tain road he had company in the person
of the mail carrier, and for most of the
trip had the relief of conversation,
though the winds blew and the snow
drifted furiOusly.
When the two riders reached a cabin
four miles below Caribou, the mail
carrier made up his mind to remain
there over night, and nothing could in
duce him to go ahead. He had been there
before, and he did not mean to repeat
the experience if he could avoid it. Ed
er Fisher, however, felt it his duty to
push ahead, and again started bravely
up the slope, through the wind and snow.
Twice his horse was blown down, but he
succeeded each timei in getting into prop
er shape again, and crowded on.
Il suppose you prayed pretty hard Just
then, Brother FisherP said one of the
preachers to whom the Elder was telling
the story.

are times when common sense tells me

Caribou was reached by night, and Mr.
Fisher took lodgings at the inn, where
the exertiOns of the ride up the noun.
tain gave him sound sleep. During the
night the wind blew heavy snOw-drifi
over the camp, completely covering il
with lightly packed snow, and in thu
morning, before the people in the inr
could see to eat breakfast, some of thu
men had to climb through the roof to cu
away some of the snow along the tops Of
the windows to let in some little day
light.
Breakfast over, Elder Fisher climbed
through the roof to see how things look
ed. A short distance away he saw 6
mOuntaineer apparently cutting wood
but as the elder watched him curiOusly
he suddenly disappeared under the sur
face. MIR. Fisher, astOnished, walked
over to see what was the matter, ant
found hole leading down into cabiI
that was completely hidden by the snow
The mOuntaineer had built stairwa,
up through the snow to give himself ant
his family access to the surface. Al
another place Elder Fisher saw another
man at work digging down, and wen
down to inquire aboutit. "Iam diggin,
down to get to my family" replied tn,
mOuntaineer, pointing to a hole in tn,
snow whence he himself had emerged
from his snOw-bOund cabin. In fact, tn,
whole camp was living underground, al
it were, and the inhabitants had t,

And kindly tears, though they fall thick and

And words of praise, alas! can naught avail
To lift the shadows from life that's past.

Offered to one who can no longer gaze
Upon their beauty? FlOw'rs in collin laid

A Cat story.

A man now living in Kingston emf
grated to the West many years ago, and
bought house which had stood unOccu-
pied for considerable time. The first
night he heard sounds which convinced
him that there were rats in the cellar
and OH investigation he found that hun
dreds of the creatures were dispOrting
themselves there. Having eaten quar-
ter of beef down to the bone, they were
playing tag among the shelves and boxes.
He offered to introduce the family cat,
but she declined to be presented. The
next day she was missing, until the fam
lily thought they had lost her; but on the
fourth day a familiar ''meOw" was
heard, and there was tabby at the head
of a column of three dozen cats in light
marching order, their backs up and
their tails rampant. The front door was
opened and the detachment moved down
the cellar stairs in good order. The next
morning a flour barrel full of dead rats
was buried behind the house, and the
cats returned to their homes.-New

The old man was dying. lie had been
a man of might in his young day, when
she fought Indians and Mexicans but the
present generation had gone by and left
him stranded on the shores of time, poor
and forgotten. Around his bed were
gathered a few old friends. His two
SONS, men with gray boards, well on in
years, were there at his bedside, while
his aged companion through many long
years Of hardship, wrung his cold stiff
fleming tigers in mute agony. One of
the sons leaned over, and asked in Gag
or, heartrending tones:
Father, don't you know me?"
Alas! the veteran had taken his last
farewell of his loved ones. His thoughts,
IL any he had, were with the dead, and
not with the living. A startled change
came over his wrinkled features. His
forehead became knOtted as with sup
pressed rage, the dim eyes lighted up
with tiger-like fury. the lines about
the mouth were as if chiseled in granite,
and through the clenched teeth came
the hOarse whisper:
Remember the AlamOr'
Several of those about the bedside nod
ded and the whisper went around: He
is-charging the Mexicans at San Jacin-
TO-"
But 1t was only moment, and the
fierce expression gave away to one of un-
utterable tenderness. Like a sudden
CLEAN Of sunshine ON some ancient ruin,
q smile played over the the weather
beaten features, the lips parted, and
those only nearest him heard him whis-
per:
"Come. little May; come to your own
papa"
The sons exchanged quick chances,
but said nothing. For more than forty
years that name had never passed his lips
She was his only daughter and his pride.
He never fOrgave her, and when she sent
word she was dying, and wanted to see
MIN once more before she crossed the
dark river, he set his face as flint, and
never went near her, but he certainly
sees her now; for lOOkl the pale lips move
once more that smile Of unutterable
tenderness, as he whispers:
"COme, little girl, get your hat. and
ers and the BIRDS"
The group of watchers bend over the
old man 10 eaten any other message he
might have from the spirit-land. A look
of great WEAKNESS comes over the tablet
OF thought. The old mans thoughts
take another step backward. He is NO
longer in his second childhood, but i'm
his first childhood, for he stretches out
his arms like tired child and saws:
Mother, / am so tired. Please put me
to sleep in your arms" and the watchers
saw for themselves that his kind old

up her tired child, and he was fast asleer
