The Ingenuity of 8 Mother Whose BaA
 Was in Danger.
 A most remarkable rescue from death took place at the farm of Wendell Russell, about three miles from Venice, Ill.,, the other afternoon, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo. crat. Mir. Russell had removed the pump from the well to make some repairs and had partially covered the aperture with boards A little four-year-old boy playing in the vi cinity got on these boards and fell through, one of the boards going with him His mother heard his cries and rushed to the rescue. There was about twelve feet of water in the well, and the distance from the top to the surface of the water was about fifteen feet. She could see the little one clinglng to the board and floating on the water. No assistance was at hand and she was thrown on her own resources Her wits worked quickly and she acted with great promptness. Securing a stout rope that was near at hand, she fastened one end nine-year-old daughter and then let her down to the water, where she grabbed the little one and shouted to her mother to pull her up. Her mother could not do 1t. While 1t was a compara- lively easy matter to lower the girl steadily and to hold her it was quite another thing to haul her up, and the mothers strength was not equal to the task. She, however, found way out of the dilemma. With 0 few words of encouragement to her loved ones clinging to each other just above the surface of the water, she made the rope fast above and ran to get a ladder that was lean ing against the house. This she let down the well, but it reached only little below the surface of the water, and there was nothing for it to rest on. She secured @ stout piece of timber and placed it across the top of the well between the top rounds of the ladder, thus giving 1t firm support; though the lower end swung in a manner somewhat dangerous to an unsteady climber. Then she took the rope by which her daughter was suspended and swung her to the ladder. The girl seized the lad der with her left hand, and with her little brother tightly clasped by her right arm, climbed the ladder, assisted by her mother with the rope. Both were brought up safely, and the only injuries sustained were few bruises and thorough ducking to the little Ono

Cardinal Gibbons
 On The Labor Question,

This eminent divine, whose heart IS always ready to feel for the wrongs of the oppressed, finds the labor question one of such national importance as to refer to it at great length in the col umns of the cosmopolitan magazines of New York After going into details and showing how necessary it IS that perfect harmony should prevail be- tween capitol and labor if we wish to maintain our reputation as the great est people on earth, he speaks these burning words: ''Lct us not be guilty of the mockery of leading pagan lives while making profession of Christian ity" Will we heed his advice? This reminds us most forcibly of q number of people in dark room groping about trying to find the way out, when sud- denly some one appears with light, and, after seeing the light, they still keep groping in the dark. Now the Waterbury Furniture Company, 20 Grand street, has held up the light of prosperity to the people or New Haven county for several years, showing them where they can buy the latest styles, the most reliable goods, and always get the lowest prices; and yet there are some people groping in the dark :! 1t is amusing to see people losing their valuable time gong around from store to store, when they might just as well be looking for seats on the green to rest thelr weary bones as to look for house that will save them more mon- ey than the Waterbury Furniture Com pany, 20 Grand street. Our custom CTS are our best advertisers. Ask any of them. Their name is legion Twenty Granl treet is the place,
 So don't forget the number;
 We'll meet you with cheerful face
 While on our styles yon'll wonder. You won't be ''hoied" to buy-now mind
 For liberty we treasure:
 Buy or not, as you're inclined,
 We'll wait on you with pleasure

Tree-PlantinE and Weather

Major J. W. Powell, who is as good au- thority as we have, writes that in his judg- ment tree planting does not increase rain fall or aid in retaining arid lands in that easy and direct manner. But trees serve to equalize atmospheric conditions and aid the soil and air in retaining the rain that does fall. He believes that by tree-plantlng, to supplement irrigating methods, nearly all arid lands may be reclaimed for tillage, and that some of our worst wastes will become our best pasture lands and most productive farms. It must, however, he allowed that other good authorities believe that rainfall is directly affected by forests.
