MARY s. HUSE.
Princeton's Modest Literary Lady-Gems
of Thought Soon to Be in Book Form.
1t may be a surprise to many of our
readers to know that Mary S. Huse,
the modest and unassuming teacher in
the primary grade Of our public schools,
is one OF the leading ladies in the liter
airy world Of to-day. Her timidity has
the world from seeing many
Of her valuable productions, both in
prose and poetry, but a few of her
gems of thought have been captured
by her more intimate friends and have
appeared in some of the leading publ
cations OF the day. Through some po-
tent influence, the great educational
journal of the northwest, School Educa-
ton, has secured from her facile pen
Whittier Memorial prepared for
entertainments in primary and gram
mar grade work. It is production of
high merit, and that journal has sup
piled its readers with nicely arranged
eightrpage supplement containing the
same with original writings from Miss
Huse's pen and a skillful adaptation Of
Whittier's poems to the designs of the
programs. 1.-The Tribute to the great
poet, dis Introductory to the memorial,
is atWo-stanza gem, which, in itself,
has sufficient merit to place Miss Huse
where she now Stands, on a high plane
as poetical writer. Could the
Quaker poet speak from the tomb, he
would thank the writer for her grand
monument of remem brance It will
find readers long after the marble that
marks his last resting place will have
crumbled into dust. Miss Huse has
written more or less for several years
past, and through the solicitations of
her many friends she has consented to
bring her productions into book form.
Any Of our leading publishing houses
would take the matter in hand, and
favor the public with her work. We
hope soon to see the design carried out.
Delivery System.
The delivery system, now so gener-
allyIa. part of the mercantile business
of the village, was inaugurated prin-
cipallys by D. W. Spaulding, when he
tooksp possession of the Fountain Meat
Market two or three years ago. Be
fore that time, some little attention
had perhaps been paid to the delivery
OF heavy articles. The opposition
meat market soon fell into line with
another wagon, and about in this con.
ditioh things went until the present
season. The grocery stores have this
season taken the matter up, and every
day, Sundays excepted, rain Or shine
| everything that can possibly be needed
| is laid down on the kitchen table as
cheaply as the same can be obtained
| over the counter. It may be some
times unpleasant for the driver during
stormy, cold days to get around over
| his circuit, but the cheerful smiles
from the good house wives all over the
city will repay him for his slight sui
fering. It surely saves many trip tc
the store, and many an excuse for the
husband who formerly came home tx
his meals, having forgotten something
| that his wife had called for on his de
parture down town in the morning
Before having known the system il
the village, there was no discomfort
thought of. Let the same be with
drawn at the present time, and the in
most calamity. It is UNIVERSAL,
appreciated by the citizens, more es
pecially so in the localities two o.
more blocks from the business center
/ Saturday evening, a permanent vol
unteer fire company was organized

council, have control of all fire equi
pages of the village. Officers elected

E. J. Carmody, foreman of hook an
ladder department; Ed. Claggett, mar

i Hereafter in case of fire, there will b
| a head to the handling of the engines
and good and efficient worl
may be looked for. TIL
