The late DR.. Wilberforce. bishop Of
Winchester. was a keen sportsman. and
on one occasion. when he was on visit
10 a ducal seat. he was persuaded to
join n shooting party. His grace's head
keeper was a Scotchman and a Presby-
terian. and the bishop tried TO engage
him in a friendly chat; but, finding the
keepers replies were short and reserved,
he said 81 suppose. Grant, you think o
bishop ought not TO go out shooting?"
"Weel, my lord" said the Scot frankly.
"I doubt yell find no warrant for 1t In
the Screeptur Did ye ever read OF the
apostles going out shooting?" "No;
true" replied the bishop. "They had no
game in Palestine in those days, and
they weat out fishing instead"

visiting a certain restaurant known to
many chess devotees. On one of these
occasions. just prior to his departure
for st. Petersburg to play DR.. Steinitz
for the championship fussy old gem
tleman offered to play him for box OF
cigars IL he would concede him the odds
of a queen. The offer was good natur-
edly accepted, and on Lasker's winning
he became the recipient of box OF
doubtful looking cigars. on visiting the
same restaurant, after easily defeating
Steinitz, Lasker happened to meet his
late opponent, who asked him what he
had thought of the cigars. First rate"
replied the champion. 'In fact, might
almost say they won me the match"
Indeed 1 am delighted to hear it!'
returned the old gentleman. much pleas

them all to Steinitz!"
Bill Nye and a friend once visited a
man Of sport who had a badger that he
was prepared to back for large sums on
the statement that no dog of anybody's
could take the beast out of barrel that
lay lengthwise on the floor with one
head knocked out and in which the
badger was ensconced. Nye's compan-
ion had wondered why Nye had been
coaxing an "ornary" looking cur to fol-
low them. Nye made a bet that he had
a dog that would take the badger out
OF the barrel. The money was put up,
and Nye caught that dog by the "nape

 FURNITURE

We are blamed continually by people in the trade for sell ing good furniture at such prices as we do; it is said that we are running the furniture business. Nonsense! We are putting a healthier life into the trade. Springfield homes, and homes everywhere in the vicinity, are comfortabler, brighter, cheerfuler, since we brought all sorts of good fur niture more within the reach of everybody's pocket book. Spend a few hours here every day and see if we are ''ruining the furniture trade" Count the quantity of furniture that is going out all the time. Not benevolence altogether in it either; we are getting a fair profit on about everything that is sold.

BRIMFIELD.

Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Baker have ex- changed their property in East Brimfield for house and lot on.sDawes street in Springfield. The property in East Brim- field is known as the Parson Allen farm and is located one mile south of the post office. The transfer was made by c. l.. Gould, and papers were drawn Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Baker are we'll known in Brimf1eld and deep regret is expressed at their intended removal in the spring. MT. Baker is a native of Brimfield and has served its best interests in different offices. He is an able, efficient officer has acted as selectman 12 terms, and is still serving in that capacity.
 A forest fire on East Hill was discover ed early Sunday evening and the town aroused directly. At that time the fire extended over strip of land three miles in length. It Is supposed the flames started early in the day on or near the property owned by 0. s. Tarbell and from there spread south. The origin of the fire is not known, but 1t Is thought it may have caught through some careless ness of hunters in that region. There is mystery, however, attending the spread ing of the fire. The watchman who re- mained during the night say they saw the | light of lantern in the distance. Very soon flames appeared in that vicinity and the lanterns disappeared. About eight o'clock Monday another alarm was given. Two fires then were raging, one spread ing toward South Warren, the other to- ward East Brimfield. There is a large space between already burned. At noon third alarm was rung. At least 500 acres have been burned over, much of if valuab ble woodland. No estimate of the probable loss has been made, but many thousand dollars worth of lumber were consumed. The academy was closed and the boys rendered assistance. The strong breeze famed the sparks into flames and the fire ragged fiercely. All sorts o methods to extinguish it were resorted tc and last Monday evening the fire was under control. It was the most disastroul in eastern nampden for many years.
