Yesterday two young boys who were
out gathering berries went to we'll
on the back of Mr.. Tiffany's farm for
drink and were surprised at the discov-
cry of young babe floating on the
water. They went home and notified
their father, who. with neighbor,
fastened to the we'll, taking from it a
well developed newly born child wrap
ped in paper. AS to who is the mother
or other parties who could do such a
brutal act is all mystery as yet.
The Fourth of July passed off very
quietly. A church social for the bene-
fit of the Epworth League was held at
the Gilbert homestead, and was large
ly attended by old and Young.
AT the Putnam homestead there was
a gathering of the young and some
older friends to celebrate the 18th
birthday of their grandson. Large
quantities of fire crackers, torpedos,
sky-rockets AID other infamma bles
which helped to make noise, fiz and
smoke, were fred until quite late in the
evening Among other amusements,
there was a three-legged race by the
boys. Two couples entered for the
prize-a bunch of fire-crackers. The
first was an even race second, draw,
as both parties did some hard falling.
The third was won by the younger

came the potato race, which was very
much enjoyed. This was all for the
entertainment of the young who wish
ed to celebrate the Fourth in that way.
Everything passed off nicely and the
children enjoyed themselves hugely.

home on Friday night, unexpected by
his parents. He is on his way to Jack

of the bank officers if the banks are un-
able to return as good money as they
received. They have loaned the banks
fundsoutat interest and, except IN cases
where officers have suspected the honest
intentions of their country and inserted
the gold clause in mortgages, the banks
themselves will have to accept depreci-
ated dollars in return for the full value
dollars loaned. They will, therefore,
have only cheap dollars to return to
their depositors. These depositors, then,
are the real creditor class of this coun-
fry. Instead of being few and wealthy
there are over 100000 Of them hav-
ing deposits in all kinds of banks and
in building and loan associations, and
their average per capita deposits are
only $500. This country will not go to
n silver basis without the consent of a
large portion of these depositors. If
they do vote to put it ON a silver basis,
several millions of them will be kicking
themselves the next morning after they
find out what they hive done,

by Bad LUCK In the Woods.
There are days that bring out the
hunters true temper. When the sun
shines and the crack of the rifle brings
SUCCESS any man can be gentle tenn
pered, and offer consolation to less for
tunate companions. Anyone can be a
good fellow sitting before big sapling
fire after day of success, and he can
laugh when anyone laughs; but let
there come days when the rain pours
down from low-hanging clouds and the
sun positively refuses to shine at all.
The deer lying snug back ON the noun
tains refuse to appear, and the rust
gathers ON the hunters rifle in melan-
choly breeding spots. The drip, drip
of water from leaf to leaf, says the New
York Sun, is a sound that brings ones
true nature to the surface.
Some men cannot be happy under
adversely in camp who in ordinary life
are the best of good fellows. The rain
seems to wash all their good qualities
into their shoes, and they make life
miserable for their companions with
their grumblings.
On the other hand there are men
sour tempered, with faces as cheerful
as rasps when in their home region,
who mellow down in the most con-
genial of spirits when in a camp in the
woods in spite. of cold rains and cheer

convert them into gold before we should

percentage could obtain their deposits
before the doors of the banks would
close. The great majority of depositors
would have to wait until we had actu-

would obtain. It will not be the fatilt
