 MT. A. Stone with his family have re- gently returned from Nebraska, and are visiting old acquaintances in town....... Mrs. Ida Browlee spent several days in Willimantic lately, visiting the model school...... Rufus Walker, student at the Warren high school, Rhode Island, is spending a vacation with his mother. Mrs. Orrin Turner has been housed for a few days with a hard cold. Mrs. Ralph Carpenter is also suffering from light form of the grip. .....Selectman A. H.. Hawkins has been busily engaged enroll ing the militia. ..... Mrs. R. B. Wilson has been spending a few days in town....... Wm. Culver has lately lost valuable horse. ...... Eight forlorn looking men were seen in file one day last week upon one of our back roads looking for work. No doubt some of them had left behind them empty cupboards and haf-famished fami- lies. Mute inquiry is written upon their faces; labor is the honest desire; cour- age the word they want to hear But in these trying situations one man needs the courage of fifty ordinarily courageous men. The writer, pondering upon all these things, glances about the little heaven-given parlor witt. "a sunny south ern exposure, 'and a sense of gratitude over the mind doth steal-and right here let me get in the thought-that thankful ness is not an exotic but an indigenous plant in the soil of the human heart, and it grows there readily whenever the soil is kept in proper condition to favor it's fourishing. Again noticing slip of pa per peeping from my apron pocket among a handful of clippings, penned and print ed, "I've bread enough for breakfast y An. how much this hath meant, and still meaneth more to poor dependent.

"Some one has said My God'-this gives the bankers name. "Shall supply."' This corresponds to "I promise to pay"-an absolute prom ise-"all your need" "According to his riches." Here we have the inexhaustible capital of the bank. ''In Glory" Here is the address of bank where no thief appropriates., By Christ Jesus." Here is the cashiers name signed at the foot without which no bank note could go in circulation. Verse 9th. Here is the check book. Send in. your cheeks frequently, prayerfully, knowing they will be cashed. Where is the limit? None; only as we fail of presenting our checks. Here is capital and comfort for aching hearts in the hard times and for strangers in famil- far lands. Another thing that falls from my apron pocket and deserts me but to return again. proving itself friend in need, is my thimble. It is a genuine lit- tie autocIat of one's needlework affairs, and has helped me to earn 8 goodly num- Der of quarters. So thus sound word of praise for it's protective qualities-po- litically as we'll as humanely speaking, ot course. Another article is brush, with which I have just 1ettered a busy day card, "and how employed" We'll, it is certain that if one gets in very large amount of work these short days, save the business of growing old, they have got to get up in the morning. But the names are unscored of people who delight to earn dime before breakfast any bet. ter than the writer. A printed scrap that
