estate of John Kingsbury late of Mon.

account OF administration. The estate
was rendered insolvent, but it now
appears that the creditors will receive
one hundred cents on the dollar.
The same administrator has also settled
his first account as administrator on the
estate of Samuel Kingsbury, late of Mon
mouth. The creditors OF this estate will
get but very small percentage if any
thing.
The deceased parties were father and
son and it has been difficult to determine
to which estate the assets belonged.
AL questions Of dispute were referred
to Judge W. P. Whitehouse Of the
supreme court and Judge G. L. Stevens of
the probate court
The settlement has been made upon the
basis of their finding.

"THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION"
Interesting Address at UniversaIist Church
BY Pastor Rev. Mr. Hayden.

Sunday evening, an interesting and for.
chile address was given by Rev. C. A.
Hayden at the Winthrop Street Uniyer
salist church, on the subject, s'The Re-
vival of Religion, Which We Need
The address was Of decided character.
and the many present, in spite of the in
clement weather, were deeply impressed.
The speaker detailed eloquently the
many needs which people in all branches
OF life have of helpful religion, one that

and business mere honest 1t was not he
said, not the drunkard alone who needed
Divine help, for the rich man alone, but
everyone, poor and rich, and in all condi-
tions of life. 1t was standard which
was needed to show men the right and to
help them follow it.
MIR. Hayden said that he firmly believed
that the world was growing better, and in
no places did it grow faster than where

laugh.

Don't forget to laugh. Laugh when
you are happy, laugh when you are anus
cd, laugh at yourself for being bored
There is always something to laugh at,
and even when one is reduced to laughing
at oneself that is very much better than to
bo "glum.'
This is what laughter does for a woman:
1t keeps her heart young. 1t makes her
like people for the sake of the pleasure
they give her, and they, in turn, like her.
1t makes her steps buoyant. 1t keeps her
eyes bright. 1t keeps her face from wrin-
king. 1t is a bcautiier second to no 9TH
or one 1t does for the muscles of the face
what exercise does for those of the body
keeps them supple and prevents them from
falling into those stiff and settled lines
which mean old age.
There is no situation in life, except, of
course, the inevitable tragic moments,
that may not be bettered by laughter. 1t
is hard to burlesque ones griefs and an
noyances, but it can be done, and it is
worth doing. To travesty ones emotions
and to make moekery of ones annoy
ances may not seem to be the highest form
of philosophy, but it is not SO low one as
to fret over trials and grow pessimistio
over personal woes, New York World.

A Fortunate Escape.

escaped serious accident, Saturday noon.
He had just stepped into his team in Mar

block, there where the mud is deepest.
and was about to drive of, when his good
horse started, at passing freight train
and began to dance, as horses will do.
Mr.. Starrett chung to his seat and to one
of the reins, the other having been lost at
the start off. The horse suddenly made a
polka step to one side, pulled the team
over, and sent Mr. Starrett some consid-
cradle distance through the air
The singular part of the affair, and
needless to add % decidedly disagreeabie
feature of it for Mr.. Starrett, was that he
landed squarely on the top of his head.
prevented him from breaking his neck,
and no one of those who witnessed, the
performance has any explanation what
ever to offer.
Beyond battered hat, and somewhat
muddy overcoat Mr.. Starrett appeared
none the worse for his experience, and
having placed his team Cd its four wheels,
and patted his horse into a normal con-
ditlon, he silently stole away.
Mr.. Starrett, during the entire per-
formance chung to the rein, which, I'M
doubtedly, prevented the horse doing up
