There were writing materials in a
drawer of the bureau. She placed
them on the table and began to write.
Slowly and as if restrained by deem
agitation she at first wrote. But as
she proceeded her pen moved rapidly,
and sheet after sheet was covered with
her firm, large characters. The COM
preston of her lips showed that the
task was indeed painful; but she perse-
vered until it was finished.
She gathered up tho pages, placed
them in order, folded them, and wrote
on the outside, "for Mr.. Belmont"

The Yale-Atlanta race in New Haven har- bor on Saturday, proves conclusively that ex- Captain R. J. Cook, notwithstanding his fif- teen years out of college and recent lack of practice, is still by all odds the greatest boat ing expert in the United Strtes. The stroke, which he imported from the English universi- ties in 1872, is truly scientific one for speed rowed, even by younger or inferior oarsmen, it will continue to defeat veterans who apply the wrong principle. At the end of the first mile Allen broke his oar and jumped from the boat Yale maintained her lead with seven remaining men, and won easily.

The eleventh census report on manufactures will be quoted for the next ten years as the official announcement of the eract industrial condition of the county, and will be the basis for any future legislation ''that may be enacted in regard to the wants of our people, whether engaged in agricultural or mechanical pursuits. Therefore it is of vi al importance to each manufacturer that an accurate report shall be made. The superintendent of census has taken every possible precaution in the preliminary work to make this census con- plete and satisfactory. Every manufacturer should bear in mind that his answers to the questions relating to his business are held strictly confidential, are not disclosed to any competitor or to other persons. and are not used by the government as predicate for the purpose of taxation or license, or in any way to adversely affect his individual business. This assurance is printed on each schedule over the signature of the superintendent of census. In no part of the census work have the lines been extended more than in the di- rection of agriculture, and if farmers will cheerfully cooperate with the enumerators and other officials in promptly furnishing the correct figures more comprehensive returns regarding our greatest industry will be obtain ed than ever before.

 Recently Cheshire young lady, while alone, picking wild flows in the field, was chased by big, black snake. Not wishing to run, she upon it's body, but some distance from the head. It then attempted to bite and wound the other part of it's body around her leg. She knew the bite was considered harmless, but not wishing to experiment upon it, took good aim, and with her other foot pinned its head to the earth, where it was soon crushed. With her hand she uncoiled the black garter and triumphantly bore it home, balanced np- on a stick. It measured one and one- third yards.
