strumental duet. Mr.. Magnuson gave
speech which we all enjoyed very
much and, as Mr.. Fehr said, would
have been good enough for the legis-
lature. Mr.. Fehr gave a good speech
himself. Most OF the young ladies

be interested in the school as all took
part in the program. Mr.. Fehr must
have had hard work during the last
month taking into consideration all
the work required to practice. The

PECULIAR TOWNS.

Saloons or Post Omces.

hav6 NO OOcIOFo, Lawyefn, GrOCer1eDe
saloons or Post Omces.
There are some towns in Connecticut,
as we'll as elsewhere, which are "pecul-
lar" and man writing from Norwich
TO the New York Sun gives the follow
ing account Of one of them: "The town
of Lisbon contains 548 inhabitants, ac-
cording to the last census, and 1877
voters. There are in the town eight
schoolhouses and LOT school children.
1t contains five justices of the peace,
one minister, one church, no lawyer,
no doctor, no industrial work of any
kind, no grocery store, no place where
liquor is sold and no post Office. The
town has never had liquor license,
having always voted no license The
town is nine miles long and six miles
wide. The northern part of the town
receives its mail from South Canter-
bury, the eastern part from Jewett
City, the southern part from Greenville
and the western part from Versailles"
Certainly the man who writes to the
Sun from Norwich ought to know about
Lisbon, but it is strange that with u
railroad through it there is no grocery
store, no doctor, no lawyer and no in
dustrial work of any kind. There is no
pest office, and perhaps that may ac.
count for the lack of the other usual
and common conveniences of life. The
grand list of the town is put down at
S243,253, with an indebtedness of &c..
279 and tax rate of 13 mills.
Another town peculiar, with differ.
ence, is Union, in Tolland county. Its
school children, 95. Its grand list, $780,.
GIG, and its public debt, 1923. It's tax
rate is 20 mills. 1t is reached daily by

and tried to get berth on ship, but


there wouldn't captain look at them.
All they spoke to just laughed and told
them to go back where they came from
and wait till they got more brains and
inches. So they thought the best thing
they could do was to take good advice;
but they had pretty hard time of it,
with no money and nothing TO eat but
what they could beg.
/ suppose Mr.. Minor thought that
walk was punishment enough, for he
didn't do anything to them. Besides,
Ralph begged for them; and, after what
Ralph had done and suffered for him,
he couldn't deny him anything.
So we all came off scot-free that time,
whether we deserved IL or not. Even
the burglar did, for he never was
caught.
Nobody ever called Ralph coward
again, though, you'd better believe, and
that was the last time we tried running
away from school.-Golden Days.
