Something wrong up in Weston.
The Republicans up there have nomin-
ated ticket, and have placed Chas.
Saxby OF the Herald on for second
term as Clerk. The idea of giving a
newspaper man an Office, and especially
one with salary to it, is something
dead wrong. A country editor "wants
but little here below" and that little
should be dead beat subscription ac-
counts.

Young people should acquire the
habit of correct speaking and writing,
and abandon as early as possible any
use of slang words and phrases. The
longer you put this off, the more diff
cult the requirement of correct Ian
guage will be; and If the golden age
of youth, the proper season for the ac-
QUESTION OF language be passed in its
abuse. the unfortunate victim will
most probably be doomed to talk slang
for life. You have merely to use the
language which you read, instead Of
the slang which you hear, to form a
taste in agreement with the best speak
ers and writer's in the country.

Gov. Horatio Seymour, the grea
New York Statesman and one of the
most able and distinguished men of the
Nation, used to say that the only Office
that he ever really desired to hold was
that of road supervisor in his district.
He was repeatedly elected TO this po-
sition and filled it with such great
satisfaction that the public roads in his
district were noted as being the best in
the State. He not only seen that the
money for road improvements was
judiciously expended, but contributed
hundreds OF dollars out of his own
pocket for tine purpose. The people
used to bless him for his untiring zeal
and labors to give them good roads.-X.

seem to look into MRS. PARKHURsT.
ones heart with an expression of sin
certify. Her face is indicative of thought
and a full appreciation of the serious
ness of life rather than of great force
of character. Her hands are delicate
and pretty, and she uses them grace
fully.
Mrs. Parkhurst dresses plainly, with
very little ornamentation about her ap-
parel, and she gives the visitor the i'm
preston of being thorough ''home
lady" and an ideal housewife. But the
predominating, the absor bing charac
teristic of Mrs. Parkhurst is her devo-
ton to her husband, and her implicit
confidence in the wisdom Of all that he
does. Every sheer intended for the doc
tor passed lightly by him and found
Judgment in the gentle heart of his
faithful helpmeet. She felt every I'M
kind word, and does not hesitate to ad-
NIT that she did.
However, this quiet little body can be
sarcastic when aroused, as is evidenced
by the following reply which she made
to a question as to whether DIR. Park
hurst minded the harsh criticism and
violent abuse that appeared in some
papers. She said, with considerable
spirit: HE was philosophical about it,
and considered the source. The unprin-
cipled class hate him as they do the
devil-worse, in fact, for he has no ter
ror for them but as good people hate
the devil. They are morally irresponsi-
BILE. For truth they do not entertain
even a vague regard, and where there is
no TRUTH there can be no honor. To no.
tice the utterances of such persons in
court or IN print would be folly. They
are beneath the dignity of contempt.
Liars are generally towards, and one Of
the weapons of cowardice is the anony-
nous letter" It is said that DR.. Park
hurst consults his wife about all his
work and has great confidence in her
Judgment.

white, with stately portico upheld by
four Ionic pillars. 1t is set well up on
the bank above the street and is sur
rounded by shrubs and trees that sup
ply abundant shade.
Chauncey M. Depew was born in the
upper front chamber, the window of
which is seen on the left in the cut. A
wide hall with ample stairs divides the
main part, to which wings with addi-
tional apartments were added by Chaun-
cey's father, Isaac Depew, as his family
increased. A most interesting room is
the large, well lighted library in the
south wing, with its generous windows
and wide bookshelves. On its walls
hang oil portraits of Isaac Depew and
his wife. The faces of father and son
bear striking resemblance, heightened
by identical cut of whiskers. Mrs.
Paulding, Depew's sister, owns and oc-
cupies the old homestead, which Chaun-
cey makes his home whenever he visits
Peekskill. She pointed out a small oil
portrait OF the patriot Paulding, her
husbands grandfather, who achieved
aSAaONh tis, OlO Va bAO SdPtOlO vi
Andre. 1t was copied from an old da-
guerreotype. and represents handsome
young man dressed i'll Continental uni
form.
There are about three acres attached
to the homestead, most of it lying on
hillside. I climbed the steep hill at the
rear of the house overlooking the ten
mis- court, and was rewarded with fine
view of the village, the Hudson and the
surrounding highlands. The country
about here was the theater of active
operations during much of the Revolu-
tionary war. Fort Montgomery, Stony
Point and West Point are but a few
miles away on the opposite shore. Up
in the country four or five miles is the
site of old Continental village, where
some 1,500 patriots were quartered in
barracks, from which General Tryon
forced them to fly, whereupon, as usual,
he applied the torch.
Iron ore is mined in the vicinity of
Peekskill. Directly below the Depew
house, in the deep, ravinelike valley
through which Magrigaries brook seeks
the Hudson, are clustered dozen or
more iron shops and foundries, where
great quantities of stoves, etc., are
turned out. The road before the house
is the original Main street of the town,
which led along and down the same steep
cut to the old boat landing, before the
days of railroads. Isaac Depew's farm
lay across the valley to the south. He
was an old line Democrat, and failed to
relish the Republicanism of his gifted
son. OF the latter, now in his fifty
ninth year, numberless anecdotes might
he told. | will allude simply to the
strong domestic side Of his nature, to his
fondness for the old home and the old
friends, and to his tender filial regard.
On the Sunday just before each Memo
rial Day his custom is to visit the GENE
terry of his native village to lay wreaths
of flowers on the graves of his father
and mother. ALBERT J. POTTER.

The Learned blacksmith.

New BRITAIN, Conn, June 23.-Few
finer examples of pluck, indomitable
will and high individual achievement
can readily be cited than that of Elihu
Bulritt, familiarly known as the learned
blacksmith" He was born here in De-
cember, 1910, in little old house near
the cemetery.
Elihu Burritt was a stanch peace ad-
vocate and was possessed of strong
philanthropic bent, which really domi-
mated all other tendencies in his nature.
He established missions in the outskirts
of New Britain and built that now on
Cherry street. In the northwestern part
of the city he bought farm of forty
acres and planted an orchard and built
barn. Part of this barn he fitted up
as meeting room and used it as mis-
sion headquarters. He made special eff
forts to gather in those who were neg
lectors of religious matters. In his
garden near the barn he sought physical
exercise by welding the hoe among his
potatoes and cabbages; then would re-
treat to a little study in the barn to
write.
Lemuel Lombardy, an aged colored
man, still lives on ''Nigger HILL" as the
hill has always been called, though
slight occasion for the name exists. He
was the janitor for Burritt, and well re-
members his patrons habits. Heshowed
me over the old farm, now in imminent
danger of metamorphosis into city
lots, and pointed out the sight of the
mission barn. Nothing remains but an
excavation. The outlook is slightly, and
the gilded dome of the capitol at Hart
ford is plainly seen. Mrs. Strickland,
an aged sister of the scholar and philan-
thropist, still lives at the Strickland
house, where Burritt used to make his
home. She possesses many of his manu-
scripts, several being grammars and
learned treatises. S. T. SPoTswELL.

PORTLAND STILL CLIMBING
The Lewistons Were the Victims in Satur-
days Game.

The home team presented rather an
unfamiliar appearance Saturday after
noon when play was called Burns was
at third and Carey at short, and all on
account of Kirmes's painful accident of
the day before, when he split his hand,
but for all that they played a fine game
OF ball, except for Rogers two bad en-
rors, and beat Lewiston out easily.
Keefe, who pitched for the visitors, was
somewhat off, giving seven men bases on
balls.
Both teams hit the ball hard, the home
team getting the most hits, while the
visitors got the highest total bases.
Kelley was hit hard in only one inning,
and that was in the fourth, when two
singles and as many double, earned three
runs for the visitors. In the seventh.
Keefe, with three men on bases, gave
bases on balls twice, forcing in two runs.
Clymer played fine ball for the home
team, while Mccormick did likewise for
the visitors. Platt's throwing to bases
was the finest he has done this season.
Rogers twice during the game,
ran in nearly to the home plate, after
pop flies that belonged to either Platt or
Kelley, but, as there was no coaching,
Rogers and Platt collided the first time,
but happily neither was injured, Rogers
dropping the ball. The second time,
they just missed one another, Rogers
dropping the ball again The score:

The al. FQnNers, Test

The fin boats in the new 21-foot class
had strong and fair test on June II, in
the Massachusetts, Yacht Club regatta,
off Nahant, Mass, and the yachtsmen who
watched the man9uvres were unanimous
in the opinion that the type of boat has
no claim to supremity in the new class.
After combination OF heavy weather the
two Herreshoff fms, Reaper and Vanessa,
were defeated by the Herreshoff centre
board Alpha and the Jenkins centre
board Exile. Not only were the fins
beaten by the ntreboarders, but the
Alpha pointed much higher in her wind
ward work than either of the fins. The
result OF the days contest has restored
confidence among the owners Of old style
boats, and there will be no reclassifica-
tion of 21-footers, as had been suggested
on account of the easy victory of the fins
in the earlier races.
