In Meunoriam.

Since God in his Providence has permitted
the release from this life into the life ever
lasting of Miss Ruth Bingham, and as
she was a member of the WOmans' Mission
airy Society of the OwOssO Congregational
church, therefore
Resolved, That we as members of this
society do hereby express our unfeigned
sorrow OccasiOned by this removal of one
who was faithful and consistent associate
and cO-wOrker for the cause of Christ. She
was constant attendant at the missionary
meetings and in other ways manifested her
interest in this branch of Christian work.
We can best think of her as labOring in
wider fields of usefulness and holding bless
ed communion i'm the presence of the Savior,
where divine love hath perfect sway.
We sympathize with those who have lost
loved sister and relative, and all the wide
circle of friends who esteemed her highly
for her quiet Christian character. We would
not call her back to re-enter the yicissitudes
of this life for we know she has joined that
great company of whom it may be said
BLESSED are the dead which die i'm the Lord
from hencetorth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labours; and their
works do follow them"
At a special meeting of the Womans'
Missionary Society of the Congregational
church of OwOssO, the above resolutions
were adopted and copy of the same order
ed presented to the family of the deceased
and also to the OwOssO TIMES for publica-
ton. MRS. M. j. HAMBLIN, Sec.

Pleasure of Walking.

There is no need to say that the ex-
ercise of walking is good for the de-
pertinent. 1t is incomparably the best
kind of motion from this point of view.
and the simplest. Though one may be
ever so stiff jointed at the outset, after
a few miles the stiffness has worn away.
Each sinew does its work. One seems
to rise an inch or two in height, and
the chest swells. How one pities poor
fellows who are doomed for their sins,
or their fathers misdeeds, or their own
love of pounds, shillings and pence, or
for no reason at all that one can deter
mine-doomed, I say, to sit at desks
through the prime of the day!
1t is one of the worst of those hard
laws which civilization has imposed
upon us. The victims may not feel it
very much; it is to be hoped they
don't. But none the less it seems
curious that when the lark-an inferior
kind of CREATURES choiring away to-
ward the blue in an ecstasy of happi-
ness, man, the lord of creation, is toll
ing under plasterers ceiling some six
or eight feet only above his brain pan.

The Literary Traitor.

If clever writer exposes to public
ridicule private persons whose likenesses
are unmistakable, and whom he is
able to draw only because he is their
friend, he is a social traitor, dishonor-
able man, who deserves to be sent to
Coventry quite as much as man who
cheats at cards. Literary talent of this
kind is open to immense abuse.
Drawing a portrait which is at once
recognized by the circle which is famil-
lar with the original, the artist may
weave into the wool of his tale Incl
dents not improbable, and with skill
introduce situations which are essen
TALLY compromising.
1t is peculiarly malignant treach-
cry, and although no honorable WRIT
can be guilty Of it it is an offense sux,
to be perpetual. The blow is one of
masked cruelty; it is poison in pre-
cious ring. George William Curtis in
Harper's.

WHAT THE FRESH AIR FUND DOES.

Though Children Go Back to . Life OF

Is there In the fortnight's outing for
the poor anything more than a merely
vleasant holidays What good can &C
crue from taking a child out of it's
wretched home, and after two weeks of
comfort and decent living sending it
back to its old surroundingsG One
minister writes: ''It will only make the
child discontented with the surround
ings where God placed him."
/ contend that great gain has been
made, If youcan only succeed in making
the tenement house child thoroughly
discontended with his lot. There is
some hope then of his getting out of it
and rising to higher plane. The
new life he sees in the country, the con-
tact with good people, not at arms
length, but in their homes; not at the
dinner, feast or entertainment given
to him while the giver stands by and
looks down to see how he enjoys it,
and remarks on his forlorn appearance,
but brought into the family and given
a seat at the table, where as one boy
wrote home, ~ can have two pieces of
pie if I want, and nobody says nothing
if I take three pieces of cake;;" or as a
little girl reported, where 1--WE have
lots to eat, and so much to eat that we
could not tell you how much we get to
eat"
This is quite different kind of serv-
ice, and has resulted in the complete
transformation of many a child. 1t
has gone back to its wretchedness, to be
sure, but in hundreds of instances about
which I have personally known it has
returned with head and heart full of
new ways, new ideas of decent living,
and has successfully taught the shiftless
parents the better way.
One little girl talked so much of her
trip and described the country life in
such glowing terms that her father
came to inquire where it was his child
went, adding, II should think it was
heaven from the way she talks about

We are surprised and disappointed in the
action of the council Monday evening In ac-
cepting and approving liquor bonds. Some
of the bopdsmen are good for nothing, men
whose credit is not good and who are
not worth even a small part of "a, 900 above
debts and exemptions. If possible the
council should reconsider their action and
order new bonds I'm all but one or two cases.
We hope the supervisors will note the names
of parties who sign these bonds and see that
they are properly assessed.

of A. ID. Niskern, drill master at Orchard

had such a good milkman. He was
one OF the sealed bottle breed. He had
the loveliest kind of a red wagon. and
he brought our lacteals in beautifully
branded glass jars, with the name of
the farm and-I was almost going to
say the hour of delivery-stamped in
the glass.
How I praised the fellow to my
friends 1 have no doubt that at
times made perfect nuisance of my
self. At the dinner table. if had
company there, would have Clarissa
bring in bottle of milk so that could
make display of the yellow cream at
the top. This was a grievous fault, 1
own. Let him who is without similar
sin cast the first stone at me.
At any rate the milking stool was the
hobby l bestrode, and rode it almost
to death.
But one morning was forced to get
up early in order to do piece of work.
Alack the day! set the alarm clock,
little thinking that it was to ring a
knell to one of my fondest hopes. 1
CROPPED my way into the habiliments
of day, and with sleepy eyes launched
forth into the frosty and lonesome
street.
Just around the corner heard the
musical sounds of tin implements strik-
ing against each other-the city mans
nearest approach to that loveliest of
discords, the Naturalization of the
cowbelPs clangor-and looking up be-
held the little red wagon of my own
pet milkman drawn up close to the
curb.
He was bending over some work, in
which he seemed to be absorbed, and
as 1 drew near I had a chance to see
what it's nature was before he caught
siSu1 VI uc.
And oh! what do you think the rogue
was doinga 1t chokes me so that I can
scarcely speak the sentence. He was
topping OFF, milk bottles from the
cream can. He was putting that final
and convincing head of gold upon the
surface of the fluid which I had been
taught to believe was bottled at the
dairy"
The same old forehead of brass and
feet of clay! turned aside and wept.
1t matters to me no longer what the
fluid underneath really was; whether
it ever saw a COW; whether it had done
service in other capacities tribute
to the churn or come in the first place
from the pump or hydrant. My bottle
of milk was cream topped fraud, and
I had been paying worship to a false
and hollow idol.
Henceforth forswear milk as bev-
erage, and will confine myself to worm

Wealth OF the Rothschilds.

The Rothschilds are believed to have
ESQ, 600, 600 invested in American secur-
tiles. Only the Rothschilds themselves
know what they are worth, and they
never tell family secrets. One of their
notices is, ''Gold never repeats what it
Sees" and another, "a man will not
tell what he has not heard" But some
idea of their riches can be gained from
the fact that since 1915 they have
raised for Great Britain alone more
than 81, OO0, 900, 900; for Austria, $3.50
600, 900; for Prussia, 5000, 600, 600; for
France, $4OO, 900, 600; for Italy, nearly
$500, 600, 900; for Russia, $125, 600, 600 ;
for Brazil, from $50, 600, 900 to $40, 600,
900, and for smaller states, certainly
between 5000, 600, 600 and $500, 600, 900

The Laurcato's Dread Of Being Mobbed.
Apprehension of being mobbed by
the ''profane vulgar" amounts, as is

the Poet Laureate. Many good stories

Napoleon's Treatment Of His Creature

Napoleon's Treatment OF His Creatures.
In the Talleyrand memoirs in The
Century the following remark is thrown
in at the end of his account of Murat's
treason, and suggests, If it was not sug-
gested by, Talleyrand's personal ex-
perience:
There was in Napoleon's power, at
the stage it had now reached, a radical
defect which seemed to me necessarily
injurious to his stability, and even tend
ing toward his final overthrow. Ma
poleon took delight In disquieting, in
humiliating, in tormenting those that
he himself had raised; and they, placed
in state of continual distrust and irri-
tation, worked underhand against the
power that had created them and that
they already looked upon as their
greatest enemy"

Walter CaWp Tells About a Famous Three
Dagger That He Made Back I'm 49,.
Of all games in which I have played,
the most remarkable for sudden re-
vulsion of feeling was one between
Harvard and Yale played upon Jarvis
Field in June of 1882
Yale went first to the bat but failed
to score. Harvard followed suit. In
the second inning a muff by the Har-
ward first Naseman, followed by the
Yale catcher's making ''two Dagger"
hit, gave Yale a run. Our happiness
was shortlived, however, for in the
third inning Harvard made two runs,
followed by another in the fifth. Yale
scored one in the seventh, but Har-
ward matched it with one in the eighth,
SO that we began the ninth with Har-
ward four to Yale's two. 1 think we
had not the least hope of winning.
remember feeling, as we came in
for the ninth inning, that this defeat
would settle our chances of the cham
pionship, and thinking of the crowd of
boys who, as l knew, were sitting on
the Yale fence awaiting the news,
would hear it and dwindle away in 81
lence to their rooms. Our first man
at the bat in the ninth inning went
out quickly, and our catcher followed,
with the same result. Wilcox, the last
man on our batting list, came to the bat.
Two men out, two runs to reach even
tie, and three to winl 1 noticed that
the crowd was leaving the field and
that the young rascal who had charge
of our bats was putting them into the
bag.
Here, you! stop thatl" cried I, for
we all were superstitious about pack
ing up the bats before the last man
man was out. Besides, was the next
batter, if Wilcox should by any chance
reach his base, and wanted my bat.
1.-TWO strikes" heard the umpire call,
and then at the next ball, to my great
Joy, 'Take your base" and Wilcox
trotted away to first. l remember
thinking how much would give for a
home run, and then there came a good
ball just off my shoulder and hit it
with all my power. 1t went between
third and shortstop on swift drive,
but bounded high, as 1 afterward
learned, for was meanwhile running
at my best speed toward first.
When 1 was fifteen feet from that
base I saw the baseman give tremen-
dous jump up into the air and l knew
somebody had made an overthrow.
How I ran them for every base 1
passed knew was one nearer to tying
the score. As l came dashing past
third base saw Wilcox just ahead of
me, and we crossed the home plate
within three feet of each other. Our
next batter took his base ON poor pitch
ing and stole second; the next followed
with a base hit past second, which
brought the first runner home with the
winning run. We then went into the
field, put three Harvard men out, and
won the game-when probably half the
1000 spectators were already on their
way home with the victory for Har-
ward in their minds. -Walter Camp in
