'sInnocence Abroad

"lnn0cence Abroad.n
Wednesday of last week, there was a
sudden scurryiDg out OF the way as team
dashed into Main street, the driver thrash
ing his horse and evidently laboring under
the impression that, like John Gilpin, he
rode a race.
Several collisions were narrowly avoid
ed but nothing occurred to check him in
his headlong career until, running his
horse down the hill at the south side OF
the covered bridge, he encountered Mrs.
Charles Lamson, who was quietly driving
in the opposite direction. In trying to
pass, his wagon struck the hub OF one Of
her wheels, and the shock threw him out.
When picked up, he was in an unconscious
condition, but soon regained partial pos
session OF his senses. A careful examin-
alton revealed the fact that no bones were
broken but that the authorities had to
deal with very bad case OF intoxication.
The stranger was accordingly arrested
and lodged in the lookup. The next morn
ing he was brought before Hon. James
Hutchinson, justice OF the peace, and told
the following pathetic tale
He was II. n. Meader, hotel keeper OF
Marshfield and had been to Bethel to de-
liver horse to a gentleman who was to
take the animal to Rutland. While in
Bethel, Meader came across young man,
when he claimed not to know but to
whom he confided that he was just recov-
ering from the grip and really needed
little liquor to support his failing strength.
The young man, who seems to have been
an amiable creature, anxious to minister
to the necessities OF his kind, offered to
ransack the town of Bethel in search OF
the needed stimulant, and his efforts, won
derful to relate, were crowned with
success. But poor Mr.. Meader, a hotel
keeper from Marshfield, was unaccus-
toned to the use OF liquor, and the stimu-
liant went to his head, where it created
considerable confusion.
The grip has been blamed for many Sc
rious things, but the worst charge that
has been brought against it yet is its de-
moralizing effect on temperate people,
like the hotel keeper from Marshtield,
who are led by it into such embarrassing
situations when they innocently venture
abroad.
After listening to this moving story, the
court subdued it's natural emotion and,
in broken voice, imposed upon the un-
fortunate prisoner fine OF $5 and costs.
Mrs. Lamson and her team came out OF
the fracas uninjured.

Memorial Sunday.

Memorial Sunday.
Sunday afternoon, the "White church"
was filled to repletion by vast throng Of
people, some OF whom only honor the
house OF God with their presence once
year, on Memorial Sunday.
The church was tastefully trimmed
with flowers for the occasion, and the
service opened with beautiful organ
voluntary by Miss Lizzie Adams. The
anthem, "Angel Of Peace" was rendered
by the choir, and the divine blessing was
invoked by the pastor. Singing by a
male quartette preceded the appropriate
Scripture lesson, after which came the re.
frain, "Many Are the Voices" Prayer
was offered by Rev. G.. w. Morrow, and
the stirring Battle Hymn OF the Repub-
lic' was sung.
The address delivered by Rev. v. M.
Hardy before U. 8. Grant Post, g. A. R.,
the Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons OF
veterans was pronounced by all who
heard It very eloquent effort. The
speaker chose for his subject, "The SOL
dier's Inheritance" and depicted briefly
the career Of Joshua, who led the victo-
rious armies of Israel and after his many
battles we're over, entered upon his in
heritance in the Promised Land. "The
Soldiers Inheritance" was defined as
what he won for himself and what he
won for others. For himself he gained
the scars OF many conflicts, his memory
OF martial scenes and his need of glory;
for Others he gained liberty and the pres
ervation OF their country.
Mr. Hardy stated that the graves of 10S
soldiers are decorated in this town on
Memorial Day, and that six members OF
U. s. Grant Post have been laid away to
rest during the year essrs. John Finn,
George Walbridge, Moses Bagley, L. H.

the post, read the following resolutions:
"WHEREAs: Individually and collect

b eautiiul service that has just closed,
RESOLVED, That to the clergy of RAN

In Memory Of Mrs. willard Gay.

Friday afternoon, the ladies OF the w.
10. T. U. held memorial service at the
tree planted in Memorial Park in honor
Of the late Mrs. Willard Gay, whose beau
tiful Christian life was in part devoted to
the work Of the union, OF which she was
an active member.
The service opened with the singing OF
Crock of Ages, }" followed by prayer by
the Rev. Seward Robson. As Rev. Mr.,
Hardy was unable tobe present, he paid
his tribute to the noble character OF her
whom all delight to honor In an appropri-
ate quotation from Dean STANLEY, which
was given, in his absence, by Rev. Mr..
Morrow. The following poem, which is
published by request, was then read by
the Rev. Homer Whites
When those beloved have passed away,
Our hearts the tender tribute pay
OF signs and tears, but still they sleep
And give no heed to those who weep.
Tears fall in vain but love will strive
To keep their memories alive
By stately mausoleum, fair,
Which stands silent witness there
OF virtues which to us are lost
Cut downby deaths destroying frost,
As Artemisia's saddened life
Embamed in stone the love Of wife;
Or, on the temples sacred wall,
The craven tablet we install;
Or, on the painted glass we show
The love with which our bosoms glow
Something to tell our grief aud love
For one whom God has called above.
But here no monument we raise
No tablet speaking forth our praise
No window, with its colored beams,
Through which the golden sunlight streams
To fall upon the mourner there
Who kneels in silent, fearful prayer.
But here we plant to speak our grief
With every rustling, t0ngue-like leaf,
The graceful Elm she loved SO well
Whose bending boughs shall mutely tell
OF sorrow which bows down the hearts
OF friends from whom friend DEPARTS
This tree its stately form shall rear,
Memorial Of one held dear
Whose sanity life speaks from the dust,
More eloquent than sculptured bust
More fair than Elm whose branches high
Shall wave in beauty to the sky
And turn our eyes to heavens blue,
Where dwell the loved, the pure and true!
After the singing of "Only Remem-
,ered," few touching remarks were
made by Rev. Mr.. Morrow, who read one
II Christina Rossetti's poems, for which
Mrs. Gay expressed great admiration
ust previous to her death. "Nearer My
Tod to Thee" was then sung, and the la
lies of the union, forming in line, passed
ound the tree, dropping at its foot bum
hes Of sweet May violets, and pronounce
ng afterward the W. G. T. U. benediction
1.-THE Lord bless thee and keep thee: the
ord make his face shine upon thee and
e gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up his
upon thee and give thee
eace."

No Blanks in this Competition


This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors rsklng the loss OF their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it, The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
petitive plan for club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something Of very little use to him. But the
person who patents q simple and useful de
vice in the Press Claims Companps Compc-
ts,ion, need not worry If he fail to secure The
prize He has substantial result to show
for his work-one That wifi command its val.
ue in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid ofthc rid of the idea that an
Improvement can he too simple to be worth
patenting TIE simbler the better The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Companys twenty five hundred dol

Judged from the fact that It's stock Is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
