A farm in one of the western New
Hampshire towns was sold about
fifty years ago for $4,000. The man
who bought it built new house on
it at cost of $1,000. At his death
the farm was sold for 5000. The
purchaser built a new barn at the
cost of $500 and died after a few
years, when the farm of 100 acres,
with new house and barn costing
81, 700, was sold for 5000. The land
is as productive as any in the North
ampton meadows. Where has the
value of that farm gone to? The
man who once lived on it was telling
this story while sitting on the court
house railing the other day. He was
looking at the stores on Shop row.

ideal in life, that will make you walk

people most miserable if their horizon
is bounded by anything less than
helpfulness to the nation. The four

have been strained almost to the
screaming point, and you, dear men,
when to yield to anger would he jnv,
close your eyes on the post of duty
that for moment seems dreary and
let your Imagination run free Then
will you quickly see that you are not
called to carve inSaDsate blocks, but
to lead forth" individualities: that
the children who under your care
grow to a knowledge of themselves
are potential elements in the national
life; that the work you do is being
duplicated in hundreds of thousands
of other little school-hOuses, and
that the aggregate of all the work
done is making or marring our
national future. Does the bricklayer
ask for admiration over one brick
we'll laid in the wall of some towering
building? No, be- goes on to another,
being careful to align his work to the
work of all the rest You too, un-
praised and yet content, because
possessed by your ideal, will go on

the dull clay of duty into golden OPP
portunity. The routine of arithme-
tic and the strange mOuthings of
phOnics will then be changed from
items in a scheme of teaching, to
valued portions of our national bull
warks.
Let no man despise you for good
reason; glorify your office; try to
rise to the demand of the age; work
for a twentieth century to dawn on a
generation of right-thinking children;
having done all, gulp down that
clamoring cry for praise, and be con-

OF untold treasures. The reward is

The Cambridge Creamery.

Cambridge Creamery took first
prize for creamery butter at the State
Fair at Burlington. This creamery,
which is complete butter factory,
started their business in this place
last spring in competition with prob
ably the largest creamery associ-
alton in the world but it has been
success from the start. During the
best of the season the company have
handled in their three separators
over 10000 pounds of milk in one
day and even with the present short
feed and early fall shrinkage of milk
are separating about IA 800 pounds
daily. Perhaps some of the success
is due to the company's efficient but
ter maker, Mr.. H. A. Churchill, as
there have been several first premium
records in other creamerips where be
was at work in years previous. A
few weeks since the company com
menced making prints for small
orders and they took SO well that to-
day they are Tubing but a small

To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course;
The six front teeth, the tale will tell
And every doubt and fear expel
Two middle "nippers" you behold,
Before the colt is two weeks old
Before eight weeks two more will come.
Eight months the "corners" cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year.
In two years from the second pair;
In three, the corners, too, are bare.
At two, the middle "nippers" drop;
At three, the second pair can't stop.
When four years old the third pair goes;
At five full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from view,
At six years from the middle two.
The second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot each corner" clears.
From middle "nippers" upper jaw,
At nine the black spots will withdraw.
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners" light.

The oval teeth three sided grow;
They longer get, project before,
Till twenty. when we know no more.

THE HIDDEN LIFE.

A gentle flowsr in the forest grew,
Where never a soul its sweetness knew;
And its upturned eyes with beauty bright
Ne'er glowed with responsive loves delight.
It withered and died, unmarked. unsung,
When low in the sky the pale sun hung;
Still the wild.birds called on joyous wing,
So its life seemed but a wasted thing.
Yet the wind had taken its pure sweet breath
And borne it away to a room OF death,
Where it gided in with the setting sun,
And Gained the soul of dying one:
For it banished of unbelief the wrath
And restored to the soul a child.like faith.
AS IT whispered the words which angels know;
"Consider the lilies how they growl"

Everything looks favorable for a

ator Elkins, "and | believe that bust
ness will continue to improve. The
signs of better times are everywhere.
The railroads are taxed to haul the
shipments OF grain from the West
and to take goods back west. All of
them are scarce of cars. The presi-
dent is to be congratulated on the
fortunate condition of affairs. They
have come about as he and other
Republicans predicted. 1t has come
at a time which gives a more favor
able impression of the president than
ever" The hard times struck the
larger cities first, and they seem to
be on the line of the pleasing reaction
first. 1t is the wholesale trade that
is reaping present benefit, but with
the west prosperous and money
plenty the latter will drift into all
sections, and with money in circula-
ton times cannot help but be better.

a certain extent the la bOrOus charac-

To TEACHERS AND PURPosEFuL PEOPLE
That faint little tap on your desk
for attention" at the first session
this term, will to some of you sound
as omlnOus as the tolling of death
knell. twill conjure up the pleasures
OF the weeks of rest, and then they
will all vanish under a lurid cloud
out of whose gray body will peep
visions of children who insist on be-
ing stupid VIXEN the superintendent
appears, or who are triumphantly
mischievous when your back is
turned and strangely angelic when
you wheel round to detect them.
Really, there is little wonder that
YOUR heart sinks within you, as you
remember that to keep up the stand
ard of the school you will need to be
alert, not once a week, but every hour
OF every day. | can quite understand
a feeling akin to nausea. when the
familiar backs of the old familiar
books tell you that, this year as
IdsI, you VIII nave TO go over the
self-same simple lessons to a new set
of simple listeners. Then, if you are
a woman little feeling of angry pro-
test will arise; for you know full we'll
that the average man of your town,
however free he feels to point out
your defects, would prefer a week of
the hardest toll to one day of at
tempting the control of twenty of
your spirits; and, if you are male
teacher, criticised for your severe
discipline, you need no telling that
no mother out of a captious ten
would be able to govern such
heaped-together family except by free
and indiscriminate slappings.
Altogether you feel a little gloomy
as the duties begin to burden your
shoulders again.
