the third had been acquired. So much
had Mrs. Westinghouse become attached
to the horse that she had him sent to New
York to well-known taxidermist to be
stuffed. There he was treated to silver
shoes, and given as near as possible look
of recognition, SO that when his mistress
enters the stables none appears more glad
to see her than he. The horse is groomed,
bIanketed and attended as carefully as if
alive. His bed is always made, and his
manger is always full of hay

A Paradox.
MRS. o. P. READ.

We read, "Cast all thy care
Upon the Lord, and he will thee sustain"
We lay our burdens there
At His dear feet then take them up again.
We pray "Thy will be done,"
With white lips ''bless His holy name" We
sleep
With tear wet cheeks and moan
In troubled dreams; then wake again to weep.
We read, "Judge not lest We
Be judged" We calumny repeat, and smile
In quiet mockery,
Upon the woe that we have wrought erst while
On Bonded knees we pray,
HGood Lord deliver us, our sins forgiye.n
We rise and go our way,
The self same hayward life again to live.
Down through the ages mist,
From Calvary's lone heights we hear anew
These low sad words of Christ
Forgive them for they know not what they do y

We learn from Pittsburg that "a visitor
to the Westinghouse stables, in the East
End, sees among an array of handsome
blooded horses one Of peculiar beauty of
color and carriage. Casual notice is quick
ened into close inspection when it is noticed
that the horse never moves. He is dead
Though lifeless, he is, perhaps, the only
horse In America to-day which wears a full
set OF silver shoes. Mrs. George Westing-
house is the leader of the East End fash
lonable lite. Her dresses are the costliest
her receptions the most brilliant, and her
turnout the finest IN the city. Her husband
is SAID to have settled an income of $3.50

is lady of artistic taste, and a wear aoo
She decided upon team of cream-coIornd
horses, with flowing, snowy names. Such

While at Merrill last Friday and
Saturday, we met great many people
who formerly resided here or in this
vicinity. A great many we did not
see for want Of time In fact about
one-third Of Merrill is made up from
people who at some time resided in
this county We enjoyed delightful
visit at Mr. SCOTS residence with T.
B junior, Mrs Scott and Mrs Cassie
Gushing They have palacial home
and are enjoying it. Mr. Scott was
not at home After going to West
Merrill where the milling interests
are, we were shown through the Com
stock lumber mill, by Mr.. VIII Bisbee.
The mill from the attic to the base
ment, and all its surroundings are
simply perfect. Mr.. Comstock is
erecting a mammoth planning mill,
the foundation of which is laid. The
motive power used is steam. Their
system Of consuming all waste mate
rails is by cone shaped furnaces which
work charmingly. On our way back
to East Merrill we dropped into the
HERALD printing Office, a neatly
conducted place. Mr.. Johnson was
crowded with work Meeting Rev.
Myers we would not have
known him only for our rec
ognizing his manly form. He
has permitted to grow a princely nous
tache which made him appear. to us,
decidedly more aged. A short walk
with the Rev brought US into the
News office where we met Editor Can
non and his live foreman. The
Advocate office was deserted and the
materials have been moved to new
quarters where the News will also re-
move to right away. Their new
offices will be decided improvements
over the old ones. Mr.. W j.. Scott
piloted US through their magnificent
! lumber mill. Their gang and two
rotaries dispose of logs with aston.
ishing rapidity; It's men are
employed in the mill and
yards. They must do an immense
business. Ed. King and Charles
Searles were doing fine business
Tom Farmer and VIII Miller are doing
we'll at Champagne store. VIM. Feltor
| is chief man in Cornings hardware
store and Will is assistant DR.. Fol
sey is still the same genial Docto
and has a good practice. In tn
evening we were delightfully."- entertain
ed at the parsonage by Rev. Myers
wife and son. They like Merrill anc
are doing excellent work. The church
and parsonage are conveniently located
to the business center of the town on
rise of ground Merrill is lively am
thrifty.
