The Imany friends of George S. Bell. only son i
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Bell. former residents of
lhis place on Central Avenue. will be panied to |
learn of very serious and distressing accident |
that befeI him Washingtons birthday. The |
family returned to their former home in Newton |
Falls, last Autumn. since which time George at |
tended school up to the time of his misfortune.
With a number of young companions he went
out to celebrate. boy fashion. with gunpowder.
and after firing number of salutes, pistol or
cannon whichever it was refused to "go off.
whereupon young Bell turned the muzzle toward
his face and commenced blowing down the bar
rel. In an instant there was discharge. and he
received the entire load of powder in his face.
He has been confined in a dark room ever since.
and it is now thought that the sight of one eye
is entirely lost. George was very popular among
his companions when living here. and they will
deeply sympathise with him in his great affection.
A grand production of John Banim's beautiful

| This performance, which will be given for the
benefit of the local order of Knights of Pythias

of the beautiful play. and what will make it
still more interesting, the principal parts will

American wealth.

Not greater than the wealth Of America
was the tabled wealth OF the Indies. There
are thousand Americans worth 81 600 900
or more. There are at least five Amer
leans richer than Croesus of song and story.
The wealth of the Duke Of Westminster.
whose fortune is the greatest in Europe, is
at careful estimate el0, 900, or $50, co.,
600, and it is the accumulation of a long
ancestry. Most OF the American fortunes
are the accumulation of single genera
ton
The aggregate wealth of the Rothschilds
reaches nearly $1,000, 900, 600, but it is dis
tributed among SO many that no individual
Rothschild is worth over O,0OO,OOO. The
Vanderbilt family wealth foots up nearly
e25O, 900 and is held 10 comparatively
few hands. There are scores of Americans
who are richer than any ruling monarch
OF the eastern hemisphere. The incomes
OF many monarchs are large, but they are
derived from the civil lists of the countries
over which they hold sway, and do not rep
resent the accretionsof their own fortunes
As people the Americans are the rich
est in the world. Money is more easily &C.
Quired here than anywhere else and it is
likewise more literally spent What are
considered moderate fortunes here are in
other lands regarded as stupendous aggre-
cations of wealth. There are no such op-
portunities Of making money in other
countries as in this, and therefore it may
be expected that the number of American
millionaires will be multiplied and the
fortunes of the present millionaires dou-
bled, tripied and quadrupled within the
next two decades.-New York World.

It Is evident that the makers of America
belong to the middle ranks of society, aud
that here Is the center OF our hopes in re-
gard to the nation. The rich families
cannot be large in number with US, nor
can they maintain in successive genera
tions their hereditary prestige The war
broke up the old order of things at the
south, and the fact that at the north there
Is no room for the man who is simply a
gentleman of leisure has prevented the
people who represent social distinction
from taking an active part in the legisla-
tive life of the country. The old families
have less influence today than they ever
had, and the leaders in legislation. in the
professions, in making and guiding public
opinion, and in contributing to the pros
perity Of the country are, for the most
part, men who have come from the ener'
getic middle class families everywhere.
These are the men who have derived mos,
benefit from our institutions and best un
derstaud how they are to be still further
developed. We do not care how rich man
Is, nor who his grandfather was, but We ask
what his capacity may be and what his vir
tues are, and we give him our confidence
he can do. This current opinion as to what
constitutes family excellence has wonder
full effect in the shaping of American fami
lies. II the making of money is the ambi
ton of most Americans, there is second
airy ambition that concentrates itself in the
integrity and purity and strength OF the
homes Of honest and industrious and intel
ligent peopie.-Boston Herald.

Of ways in which dollar can be earned by
sharp witted man know one who
makes a comfortable living by attending
auction sales of furniture. He is not in
collision with the auctioneer, ia fact be
will only attend such sales Is arg genuine
and peremptory, where every article is sold
for the highest figure bid. no matter how
low that may be. My friend simply trades
on the weakness of human nature, espe-
cially of the feminine variety Many
women attend these sales, and are really
DESTROYS of securing certain articles, but
shrink from the publicity of trying to out
bid some other would-be purchaser.
They prefer to give two or three dollars
advance on the price paid by the successful
bidder. This man secures all he can Of the
best bargains offered, and then disposes of
them at small advance upon his outlay
to one or other of the disappointed bidders.
1t is not unusual for him to clear from ten
to twenty dollars a day. There is no loss,
for even IL the articles are left on his hands
he gets his money back by sending them to

The chewing gum business began on
small scale some thirty years ago. 1t was
then manufactured and used principally
in New England This article was made
from the gum of the spruce tree Another
kind of gum was and is made from paraf-
fine. There was a prejudice at first against
manufactured chewing gum, and years
ago children were told that the stun was
made OF "niggers' heels"
The raw material of chewing gum made
today comes from the Mexican chiclezapote
tree. That is the stuff "tutti TRUTH IS
made of. The STORY runs that Yankee
by the name of Adams imported the Mexi-
can gum to have it take the place OF gutta-
percha or soft rubber, but the experiment
failed. Accidentally he broke off bit OF
the stuff and chewed it. That gave to
him the notion of manufacturing the sub
stance into chewing gum. The business Is
now housed in a six story building and
gives employment to over $50 people

The FIRST cattle that were brought into
he American colonies were landed 1t the
James river plantation, In Virginia, in the
year 1906 They came from the West In
dies, and were descendants Of cattle taken
10 those islands by Columbus on his sec
cnd voyage, In 1893 In 1910 several cows
were landed. and in 1911 about 100 head
more were brought to the plantation. This
WAS the origin OF the cattle business in
America In order to encourage the cattle
industry to the fullest possible extent an
order was passed forbidding the slaughter
Of any animal Of the kind under penalty OF
death. Under this restriction the number
Of cattle increased to 5000 in virgsoia
alone by the end Of the year 1852
The first cat tie brought TO New England
arrived at Plymouth In 1924 They were
imported from England by Governor
Winslow Three heifers and bull made
up the party. In color. the old record says.
they were black, black and white and
brindie- In 1925 twelve cows were cent to
Cape Ann. in i629. thirty more In 1880
about 100 were Imported for the colony OF
Massachusetts Bay. During the years
last above mentioned, 1903 cattle had been
sent from Texei, Holland, into New York.
SO that by the year 1870 there were a COOL
many head of horned cattle in the col
onies
From IG3i TO 1853 large number Of cat
tie for those times was brought into New
Hampshire from Denmark These were
large yellow cattle Taking all OF these
cattle together. they were the foundation
from which all the common native cattle
of our country have descended. st Louis

One OF the most notable events connecs.
% with the manufacture Of iron was the
making Of the great iron chain which n
ITS wn trctched across the Hudson river
a. West Point to prevent the passage Of
British vessels LOSING, In his .sField
Book Of the Revolution" gives very IA.
teresting account Of this work, Of which
we can quote only the leading facts;
The iron Of which this chain was con.
structed was wrought from ore OF eoual
parts from the Sterling and Long mines in
Orange county. The chain was manufact.
ured by Peter Townsend, OF Chester. at
the Sterling Iron works, in the same
county, which were situated about twenty
five miles back Of West Point. The chain
was completed about the middle OF Anril
IT'S, and on the LIST Of May it was stretched
across the river and secured. II was flxed
TO hinge blocks on each shore, and under
cover OF batteries on both sides Of the
river"
1T IS buoyed up" says DR.. TEACHER
writing in 1850. by very large logs of
about sixteen feet long, pointed at the
ends, to lessen their opposition to the force
OF the current at food and ebb tide, The
logs are placed ut short distances from
each other, the chain carried over them
and made fast to each by staples. There
are also number Of anchors dropped at
proper distances, with cables made fast to
the chain TO give 1t greater stability" The
total weight of this chain was $50 tons.
Mr.. LOSING visited West Point.in ls4s
and saw portion of this famous chain
and he tells us that there are twelve links,
two cievises. and a portion of a link re-
manning. The links are made of iron bars
two and half inches square. and average
u length little over two feet and weigh
about 100 pounds each."-W. r. Durfee iu

The Water Cure.

A Vernon street man frequently starts
q Ere in his back yard as a means Of get
ting rid of rubbish and leaves. As his
back yard adjoins the side of another
house, the smoke fills this, much to the
annoyance of the occupants. One morn
ing he started his fire, and the smoke rose
gracefully and circulated through the
house, the mistress Of which opened the
window and said, Good morning." at the
same time throwing q pailful of water
upon the flames. Before the man had time
to recover his surprise the lady living up
stairs followed suit with another pail OF
water The bonfire man fed and didn't
