 When storm cavorts around your door,
 And you by light or taper
 Sit closely by the evening fire
 To read our country paper,
 Just think of him whose work thus helps
 To wear away the winter,
 And put this question to yourself:

Nothing of the kind. With us it is sim- ply matter of business.a a means of ob- taining our bread and butter and few othor things that it seems necessary for | a person to have in order for man to get along comfortably on this mundane sphere. We make this explanation for the information of good many people. :" On October 18th THE NEWS pub iished a quarter column article concern ing the noble spring which furnishes the village of Canaan with an abundant supply of pure water. From said arti- cle an exchange constructed the follow ing item: | During the present dry season the water in the North Canaan Water Com- pany's reservoir has run over the dam each day. The main spring which snp- plies the reservoir has not perceptibly diminished it's flow and it is supposed that it's source Is Lake Wangum on | Canaan mountain.
 | We are not prepared to dispute the theory that said spring has its source iu Lake Wangum, neither are we prepared to believe auy such theory. We think it would be good question for the Canaan scientific society to discuss. We have always been taught that ''watel will wear stone" Said spring is sever al hundred feet lower than Lake Wan gum and if there is any connection be tween the two it seems to us that tn, flowing water would ere this have worl channel that would drain Lake Wan gum.
