MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
KiIIed by His Horse.

William L. Cook of Heath Centre was
kicked and trampled upon by a horse and
his skull crushed at the right temple and
his lower jaw broken in two places last
week Wednesday, He lived an hour or
more after he was injured, and was appar-
emily unconscious. Mr.. Cook went into
the stall beside the horse with a basket,
which probably frightened the animal and
he either kicked Mr.. Cook on the head at
first, or somehow knocked him down, and
then trampled on or kicked him. Mr..
Cook was G3 years old and native of
Guilford, Vt, but he had spent most of his
life in Colrain and Heath. He lived last
year in North Dakota, where his wife died
last April, and he returned to Heath in
MAY.

Why "COIn's Financial school" Is
Popular.

Conditions connected with the dissent
nation of socialistic and anarchistic views,
so far as they have added to the public dis
content, may have aggravated the existing
phenomena shown by the silver craze; but,
unless | am very much mistaken, | cannot
find evidence to believe that the working
classes themselves have been largely drawn
into this silver worship. The greatest boon
to an ignorant, unthinking mind, oppressed
by sense of inferiority in physical cOndi-
ton to other members of the community,
is an explanation, no matter how sophisti-
cal, which happens to fall in with his views
and finds the reason for the real inferiority
not in himself but in some outside cause.
This, in my opinion, is the cause OF the
existence of the state of mind expressed
by Populsm. 1t is largely blind, thought
less striking out at something, for the time
being, believed to be the cause why they
are not enjoying the same worldly pros
perity with the rest of the world 1t makes
no difference to them that this greater
prosperity of the successful is due TO the
possession of superior industrial power.
1t is easier, because more satisfying to self
complacency, to believe that the cause of
their material inferiority is due to out
side causes, even though on reflection they
could not find any sensible ground for JUS
tification in the belief. A book, therefore,
like Coins financial school," which APP
peals to class prejudice, which ridicules the
possessor of wealth, and salves the feelings
of those who have not succeeded in max
ing themselves rich, is quite certain to
meet with success. If it be illustrated and
attended with coarse jest, so as to adapt il
to the sense of humor, it is likely to find a
wide circulation j. Laurence

For the next three months

Every lady who is not already
supplied with her summer mil
linery should certainly avail
herself of the opportunity.
The first of July always finds
us with a desirable stock of

fer to make their selections
where they can have the great
est variety to choose from, we
have found by experience that
it is greatly to our advantage to

For the children we never
had as good an assortment of

prices as now.
In muslin hats and bonnets
you will find some exceptionally
stylish ones at cut prices.

artistic creations lady has for
her head, the ever popular sail

ing wedding reception rendered to Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. B. Mcclellan by Mrs. Esther

the centre of attraction, handsomely gowned
in white silk, with bouquet of blush pink
roses. Mr. and Mrs. Mcclellan received
