The cries of sea birds, especially sea-

These birds cluster on the cliffs and
coasts, and their cries warn boatmen
that they are near the land.
The reason why so many British
rivers are called Avon is said to be that
the term is Welsh word, meaning
river, and the word should be pro-
nounced with the "a" short, Avon.

Some weeks ago Emil Erickson,
escorted by his sister Annie Erickson,
departed for Brainerd, where he hoped
to regain his health. The unfortunate
young man suffered of consumption,
and as usual, the change of location
as renewed hope was beneficial, caus-
ing temporary relief: but nearly two
weeks ago there was a change for the
worse and after two days of suffering,
life was extinct. Miss Annie Erick-
son was the only relative at his bed
side, and last week she brought her
brothers. corpse home to he inferred
in Christine cemetery. This was a
hard blow to his aged parents and
other relatives, who hoped the boy
was improving, when Unexpectedly the
message reporting his death came
over the wire. The deceased was a
young man of good habits and he had
numerous friends who sympathize with
the relatives of the departed.

Went Up In Flames.

Shortly after 1880 o'clock Tuesday
evening fire was discovered in the mill
by John Lipsit who WAS acting as
night Waterman that evening. The
alarm was Immediately given but be-
fore water could b. turned on, the
flames had gained considerable head
way. and although every effort was
made by the tiremen and others moth
ing could be done except to delay
somewhat the progress Of tile fire. In
less than one and one-half hours from
the time the fire was first discovered,
the entire structure was reduced to a
mass Of smouldering ruins. When
first discovered the fire appeared to be
underneath the northeast part of the
mill and, as the engine room was at
the other end of mill, it is thought that
the fire must have originated from the
heating of some part of the machinery.
During the progress Of the fire there
was considerable danger lest the neiyh-
boring buildings should eaten from
the burning cinders which were car
ried long distance. This danger,
however, was very much lessened by
the fact that there was but little wind
and the buildings were covered with
snow.
The building and machinery we're
insured for 81, 800 which Mr.. Enge in
forms us was little more than one-half
it's value. The contents were insured
for $500.
The loss of this important industry
would prove a. great blow for the viii
]age, as it was a potent factor in
drawing trade here. but we under
stand that NJ. Enge will take steps
towards rebuilding in the near future.

HISTORICAL GLEANlNGS.

The population of Boston in the
spring of 1775 was about 1900.
The population of Virginia was, in
1922, rated as 10000, double that Of
Maryland, the next most populous col
ony.
In the short reign of Edward VI. of
England the Protestant book of COM
mon prayer was established, and q
Protestant confession was prepared
and imposed upon the church by au-
thority.
Thomas Jefferson was averse to titles
of honor, and maintained in official sta
ton and at home severe republican
simplicity. The later years of his life
were devoted, in a great measure, to
the establishment of the University Of
Virginia, an institution in which he took
great and just pride.
A terrible arraignment of Daniel
Webster for his "Compromise Speech
(March 2, 1850 is contained in Whit,
tiers poem "Ichabod." Years later
Whittier relented, and his old admira-
ton, mingled with keen regret, was
brought out in 1.-The Lost OCCASION, -
perhaps the noblest tribute ever paid
to the great orator.
Edward Everett was born in Dor
chester. Mass, April II, 1904. He en-
tered Harvard college at the age of 10,
and was graduated with the highest
honors. He was settled in Boston as
pastor of the 1}rattn street church, and
very soon attracted great attention by
his scholarly discourscs. In 1924 he de-
livered an Grafton before the Phi Beta
Kappa society, of Harvard, and the &C.
casion was distinguished by the pres
ence of Lafayette, and the orators ref
erence to the nations guest was o.
