After the notice in the Keene Sentinel,
Putney people hardly claim Mr.. Weber as
a resident. They supposed his home was
in Westmoreland. He worked here for a
time, but some complications arose, such
that he has not even visited his friends or
relatives here lately, if he has any. Put
ney people are more anxious to see him,
perhaps, than he them. They wonder il
the family Bible will contain complete

Albert LOyeland.

Some particulars, not given last week, of
the accident whereby Albert Loveland,
formerly of Putney, lost his life we give
here. 1t was necessary for him to cross
the track in front of the switch engine.
The engineer said he thought he had
crossed, and started too soon. When the
engine stopped it was found that the young
man had been terribly hurt He was taken
Immediately to the hospital where every
care was given him. He remained con-
scious until death and talked with the train
master and doctors. He was boy of very
quiet habits, never talking of himself and
never complaining when ill. He was very
fond of reading and during the two and
one-half years he boarded in st. Adams
spent his leisure time in the reading room
attached to the house. He was lover of
music and played the violin with sweet
ness and accuracy, having taken lessons in
Brattleboro. He worked in the machine
shop in Bellows Falls nearly year.
His boarding mistress in st. Adams
speaks of him as a quiet, steady boy, well
liked by all. Trainmaster E. D. Nash
wrote in a letter to his mother: ~ always
found Albert ready and willing to work at
any time. l always found him faithfully
performing whatever duties were assigned
to him and / considered him one of the
best men in our employ. You certainly
have this to comfort you: wherever he was
he was gentleman, wherever he was or
wherever he worked he was faithful to his
employers and true to himself and you
have my sympathy in your grief.

And vet another base ball game. A team
from Athol came Saturday afternoon to see
if luck or skill had not changed with the
season, and they might be able to level up
by winning, instead of suffering defeat as
in the earlier games. The game proved I'M
interesting from the start, and the specta-
tors drew breath of relief when it was
over. The visitors made four runs in the
last inning, as a result of Trains tossing the
ball over the plate. The regular team had
disbanded, but a picked nine was gotten to-
gether.

the house of l.. NJ. Lawrence. Drs. Sta
pies, Millington and Haven were summon
ed by telegraph and examination by them
disclosed the fact that both cheek bones
and the bridge of the nose were crushed,
the tongue was split open, and the under
lip torn down from each corner of the
mouth so that it hung from the lower part
of the chin. All was done for the sufferer
that could be- Twelve stitches were taken
10 hold the lip in place and eight were
taken in the tongue. Unless there is in
ternal injury there is good prospect of Mr.
Rhoades ultimate recovery. He is hard
working man and much sympathy is ex-
pressed for him and his family.

1t is impossible to tire Of John Dillon.
Nature has befriended him in his chosen
profession that his very exterior excites
not only mild nirth, but actual hilarity.
The moment he energies from the wings,
that moment begins the laughter and
enjoyment of the audience. There is a
humor in his legs, humor in his walk,
humor in the flip of his coat tails, humor
in his eye, humor in his voice, and above
all the true appreciation of humor in his
heart. Dillon is not a caricaturist. He
is an actor of the best school Of the most
approved methods, and his character
izations are, above all else, true to
nature. Alongside the man who hasn't
read "Trilby," should be placed with the
individual who could sit through Mr..
billions performance without enjoying
many hearty laugh. He is supported
by talented company of genuine artists.
The ladies are handsome and dress in
exquisite taste. There are many indica-
tons that the opera house will be filed
to the doors on Monday, March LIST.

90 little as to receive in real benefit from
their schooling. Besides these persons
are largely indifferent toward school in
terest and usually have large families -
swell these Indifferent class, and the
teacher is powerless to compel them to
avail themselves OF school opportunities,
Then there are other conditions to in
crease the criminal class, conditions over
which the school can have no influence.
The increase Of population makes the
struggle for existence more difficult, the
gulf between the rich and poor is widen
ing and the improved machinery is
iessening the demand for unskilled labor.
The teacher can develop but not make
brains, and in order to develop brains
the subject must be under the care OF a
teacher more than few months.
As for individual ownership of hooks
creating spirit Of ownership why not
increase the spirit of ownership by re.
curing each child to furnish his own
desk, crayon, erasers, and other sup
plies needed in school? We still insist
that such argument is sentimental and
it has been proved so where school
books are free. Let individual owner
ship be along the line of general reading
matter Of which there is so little found
suited to children in the homes. Nor is
it necessary to compel the use of books
"reeking with filth" Such argument is
better suited to the "theorist."
Actual experience has proven that the
cost of books by our present system is at
least three times as much as by the free
book plan. Whether each individual
buys the books for his children or dele
gates that power to some one else, either
plan is tax and if free books makes it
three times as cheap, which it will in
any district, educators ought not be &C
cused OF trying to increase the taxes.
They should rather be regarded as bene-
factors.
But Mr.. Branson comes to a fitting
climax for a practical man il the last
paragraph Of his article when he asks
the teacher to fire the beart Of the
sluggard" and to appeal to his man.
hood How to fire the heart of a slug.
gard must always remain a problem for
the "theorist' and how to appeal to
manhood when there is no manhood to
which to appeal is beyond my compre-
hension. | am afraid in that paragraph
the writer has left the well trodden path
of the practical man and entered into
the highest realm of the theorist

The True Remedy.

"Chief," says: "We won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Elk
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place III our
home, as in it we have certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc" 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as good
rs DR.. Kings New Discovery. They
are not as good, because this remedy
has a record Of cures and besides is
guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.
