ment OF one of our recently deceased citi-
zens suggests the above line. and that
there will be litigation over the will
aforesaid there can be no doubt. THE
sum OF 500 10 repair the leaks of an old
country church was all the public beouest.
and II the trustees OF the church were
wise they would refuse the donation or
turn 1t over TO some charitable institution.
Money makes fools OF some men and
knaves OF others, while occasionally IL
sayors OF sorddness bordering on in
sanity.
A leaf from life.
story of hercism comes to light In the
recent death ant burial of John T. Ilsley
Of Olneyville.
Occasionally fi,tion tells of such noble
sacrifice as herewith recorded, but seldom
do we come faceto face with the fact In
every day life. In brief here is the story.
The young man referred to was with
some companioIs enjoying an outing at
Lake Winnepesaakee where they were en-
camped. They took sail boat one day
last week to enjoy an hour or SO on the |
water. Besides Ilsley there were three |
Others in the boat. The boat capsized. |
lisley was good swimmer but |
his three companions were not. The big |
ST. Bernard dog, seeing from Iha shore
that his master was in danger, swan out
TO him. In the mantime Ilsley shouted to
his companions to tread water with hands
and feet and that the dog would rescue
them. llsiey commanded the noble st.
Bernard to go the rescue OF the others
which he was 10th to do, but was SO well
trained that he obeyed. The first man he
approached almost exhausted ciung to
the dogs back who swan with his human
load TO the shore.
Then at the command of his master he
started for the other two, but happily
boat came along jlst in time to pull them
aboard. llsley had the satisfaction OF
seeing his companions safe and then from
probable heart failure sank beneath the
water. The faithful ST. Bernard hovered I
Ibout the spot whining piteously for over
m hour. A diver found poor Ilsley cling q
ng 10 a rock thirty feet below the surface.
ie had sacrificed his life for Others His s
ife was not in vain.
Insure your watch. !
Mr.. Ballou, the jeweler, informed me yes
erday regarding his new watch insurance /,
roJect He proposes to insure your
'atch for year for S2 and keep it in re- =,
air during that time, no matter how 2
ably you damage il. Instead OF going to o
n expense OF 81 or sswhen you drop or c
therwise injure your time piece all you
ave 10 do Is to take it in to Mr.. Ballou u
nd the 81 pays the bill for year. u
The woman suffrage question. Z
According to the New York Press there
e 900 citizens who have given their 10
gnatures in behalf OF justice to woman. bi
hey have asked that the people of the
mpire State should be allowed to de- -
are at the ballot box whether or not sp
ey wanted woman suffrage. The op-
'nents OF woman suffrage in the con- ST.
itutional convention having no DC
ausible excuse to offer why
@ question should not be put to vote OF
ould have care lest their very opposi-
,n should incite TO renewed effort the hh' h'
ends of the movement, which, after all -
said for and against it, will assuredly
come fact in afew years at the most "''
all signs fail. AS there are more women
m men in this country, perhaps the p.
ders OF the prominent parties are by
aid. Prohibition and woman suffrage ,
hand in hand and they may be a few pr,
