The fact that the kitchen door OF the
Collins cottage at Pleasant Harbor was
painted black led TO an incident THAT
caused the Pleasant Harbor townspeo-
pie much amusement. Miss Laura Col
Inns, the elder of the two elderly women
who lived in the cottage, used to tell the
story thus;
Ny sister Emmeline is what you might
call absentminded. She gets her mind
set on something, and then she doesn't
pay real strict attention to what she's
doing. One evening she came into the
kitchen where was sitting and said,

Mrs. Stone"
And | said: II will go. It's pleasant
evening for a walk; moonlight, and the
stars are out"

big sunbonnet, but didn't say anything
about it; everybody in the village was
used to seeing her wear it in the evening,

There is a delightful mystery about
the Trinity chime. It is the Oldest in
this country, except the daime Of Christ
church in Philadelphia. But very little
is known Of the history uf I'rinity's Older
bells. From the Inscriptions upon them
1t is supposed that the five bells that al
first composed the chime were cast in
London. One more, it is believed, came
from England in 1888, when the second
Trinity church was erected. When the
present Trinity church was built in 1s4f
there were six old bells in the steeple.
The largest one was cracked and was
sent TO Troy to be recast, and at the
same time four more Troy bells were
bought.
Consequently the Trinity chime now
consists of ten bells, five cast in England
and five cast in Troy The largest
weighs 3,S0j pounds, the smallest $50
and the whole together about $4,000
pounds They are hung in such heavy
wooden framework that the full volume

In the old range cattle boom days,
when money from foreign lands was
pouring into the west like water, there
we're a good many sharp tricks prac-

that the Marquis de Mores, who tried 10

lutionizer Of the American meat trade,

class cattle and cost forty dollars head
When these two Britons delivered the
cows they worked one of the neatest
''slEin" games that was ever heard Of.

table lands on each side.
Well, the Englishmen ran 5000 head
of cattle in on the marquis and collected
for 10000, The way they did it was by

he had paid his t400, 900 and the merry
