A Model Plant Is not complete with
out Electric Power, thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators, Plows, Rail-
ways and HOSTS; also furnish light
and power for a radius of from Is to &c
miles.
Electric power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine tc
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available II
costs nothing to generate Electric
Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COM
PANY Is now ready to furnish Electric
Plants and Generators of all descrip
tons at short notice, and also has OF
hand a large stock of Wire, Chandel
iers and Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt at
tention, and estimates furnished fo
Lighting and Power Plants; also at
tention is given to House and Marine
Wiring.

Mrs. Marila Childs died at her home on
Saturday evening last from the effects of
fall which she received few hours previ-

family beside one or two who died in in
facy: George, Lewis, Lyman, Hannah

Nancy-Mrs. Jepson, Althea-Mrs. Par
melee. She was married to William

few years had always lived in this town.
She had been a woman of great energy and
activity. She was one of the original
members of the Universalist church and
had done much towards maintaining it all
these years. AS Mr.. Bissell well said in
the funeral discourse, she had been good
woman, good neighbor, a good wife, a
good aunt, good Universalist. She was
of cheerful disposition, always making
those about her happy. She will be great
ly missed. The funeral was largely attend
ed from the Universalist church on Mon
day, Mr. Bissell delivering a very appro-
pirate discourse. The burial was in the
viTia5e cemetery.

Character from Contact,

Is it not true that character is derived

What makes that girl so like her mother?
Heredity, do you say? Admit that there
is truth in the claim, yet what is heredity
but the result of contact? You know how
boy is influenced by contact with another
boy, and how girl becomes like her asso-
ciates. Now the same rule holds true con-
corning book and reader. If the book
is good one the reader will be benefited
by contact with the characters reflected
from its pages; If it is bad one he will
be injured in the same way. But if you
are to derive good from reading you must

with the characters to come into close con-
tact with them and feel the impact of their

Keene Must Borrow Money,

The finances of Keene are in peculiar
condition owing to the closing by injunc-
tions from time to time of all the savings
banks. The municipal water loan sinking
fund of about $4,000 is deposited in the
three savings institutions, and only a small
portion of it has been made available
through the declaration of dividends. The
city government has therefore been COM
PEELED to authorize its joint standing com
mittee on finance to borrow 5000 to be
used in the payment of water bonds fall
