Where Curfew Rings Tonight.

After years of disuse the curfew bell
is again ringing, Its peaceful clangor
rises in many village like fireside
hymn 1t is the angelus of the home,
calling the people from labor and pleas
ure back to the household The revival
of the custom may seem like return
to Puritan simplicity, but its benefcent
results can hardly be questioned.
Twenty towns in Minnesota have al
ready adopted the curfew ordinance. II
provides that young people under 1f
years of age who are found on the streets
after the ringing of the curfew are sub
ject to arrest. The first offense is pun
ished with fine, the second with i'm.
prisonment and the third with both.
While the ordinance has not been long
enough III operation to definitely deter
mine its results, yet it has been proved
practicable, and the towns that have
tried it seem satisfied with it. The
warning bell, at 10 O'Clock, sends youth
full stragglers where all young people
should be at that hour. There can be nc
without the guarded walls of home
when traitorous night threatens danger.
The curfew ordinance serves the best
interest Of parents and children and the
community at large Other towns would
do well to follow the example OF these

A refreshing change in the everyda,

A refreshing change in the everyday
progress Of events in So. Londonderry
came of Tuesday in the shape of law
suit. The legal belligerents were mer-
chant G. G. Smith and II. 0. Cool
edge of Brattleboro, seconded by law
yers Cudworth and j. L. Martin with
Hon. G. H. Darling of Bennington,

Smith to recover a balance due on some
sugar sold by him to F. l. Batchel-
der & Co., while this finn was in bus
iness in Brattleboro, Coolidge repre-
sent'ng the company part of the firm.
UpoA the sale Of the sugar it was a
greed that Smith should take his pay
out Of the confectionery store kept by
the firm, but it appears in short time
the firm was dissolved, and afterwards
Batchelder failed. From early spring
to late in the fall Smith was unable to
get his store pay, though frequently try
ing. At that time Coolidge informed
Smith that he had made arrangements
with Miller, who succeeded the old
firm, to supply him. This Smith re-
fused to accept, claiming that they had
forfeited this right and that the money
was now due him. This involved the
principal amount Of the contention as
tn re was but little dispute as to the a
mount of the account. The finding of
the referee will be reported to the
county court at the September term.
On the next day the two lawyers and
the referee went to Jamaica to try a
cause brought by A. P. Clough l.

"Mr. Lenox's vast bequest. In the last
number Of The Bookman Ibsen's portrait

Words OF Wisdom.

The face is the photograph of the
heart.
The soul of conversation lis sympa-
thy.
He enjoys much who is grateful for
a little.
The man who believes wrong will
never do right,
To find fault is easy; TO do better
may be difficult.
Every man is a volume if you know
how to read him.
A civil tongue is a better weapon
than slungshot.
Love is about the only thing that
can cure laziness.
Talk moves fast when the burden
of thought is light.
Too many try to point to the cross
with a frown on the face.

PRICE THREE CENTS.

When man is wrong and won't ad-
nit it, he always gets angry.
The truth we hate the most is the
truth that hits us the hardest.
Enjoy present pleasures in such a
way as not to injur future ones.
Call not the man wretched who,
whatever ills he suffers, has child to
love.
He that is unwilling to receive as
well as to give, has learned but half
of friendship.
One says, "There are people who
are encyclopedias Of everything that
should be forgotten"
He that communes with himself in
private will learn truths that the null
titudes will not tell him.
More hopeful than all wisdom and
counsel is one draught of simple hu-
man pity that will not forsake US.
Every man has IN himself conti-
nent of undiscovered character. Hap
py is he who acts the Columbus to
his own soul.
Whoever can make two ears of corn
or two blades of grass grow upon a
spot where only one grew before,
would deserve better of mankind and
do more essential service to his coun-
try than the whole race of politicians
put together.
