A Danville, KY, woman has rather
peculiar way OF playing with her hus-
band. A few days since she fired a
load of bird shot into his side, tearing
away several pounds of flesh. She gave
as her reason tor doing so, that she
thought the gun was rifle and only
carried one bullet and that she wanted
to scare him by firing over his head.
1t is TO be hoped this style of playful
ness will not become general among the
wives OF this country.

AN INTERESTING LErrnRE-

Rev OF w. Barker of Newtown, who
is spending his vacation here, delivered a
very interesting lecture on Sunday night
at the Presbyterian church, on "Jerusa-
lem and Palestine He held throughout
the attention of an audience that alIed
the church. He dwelt on the changed ap-
pearance which the Holy Land of to-day
presents from that which met the ewes of
the Saviour. Not a single spot mention
ed in the New Testament can now he CON-
hdently identified with perhaps the sim
gle exception of Jacobs well In Samaris.
Inc American with his preconceived no.
tlons OF beautiful Mt Zion and Saloam's
Cool Rill are at once disillusionized nv
the squslor and wretchedness which ey-
eryWhere is in evidence. Yet in the gen.
eral lay of the land, the mountains. the
roadwsys and water courses there is
much to make real the Gospel account.
One of the many interesting facts men
toned was that the first object which
met his view after landing at Joppa, the
port OF Jerusalem, was an American To-
comotive from the Baldwin works in
Rhode Island. Mr. Barker will occunv
the pulpit next Sunday morning. Mr.
Barker will lecture again Sunday even
ing at the Presbyterian church on the
Holy Land. His subject will be 1.-THE
Fall of Jerusalem as Related to the Full.
fllment of the. Prophecy. y."-TLeRoy. n.

There is nothing just as good as Masu-
rvs Railroad paint for durability; so de-
mand it and do not permit the dealer to
sell you some substitute. He will not
claim there is anything better, but in or
der to make more profit, he may claim
something else to be Just as good. You
want Masury's paint because you know
it to be reliable and guaranteed to wear.
For outside and inside paint there is moth
ing equal to Masury's. Try it and see
for yourself. Harry Rider of Al Water

IN MEMoRIAM OF MRS BETSEY ADAMS
PATCH.

Situated on rise of ground overlook
ing the pretty main street of Sandy
Hook, surrounded by Newtown's staunch
and true, lived for 6S years Betsy Patch,
little body never weighing 80 pounds.
AS bride of one or two years, she first
crossed the threshold and who but He
who holds the stars in His right hand,
and who numbers even the sands of the
sea, can tell how many times since then
her busy feet have crossed the sill going
out and in, busy with her work, receiy-
ing friends and caring for the good of
her house. She was never idle. Who of
her numerous relatives, sisters, nieces,
nephews, cousins, etc, but always re-
ceived hearty welcome, and no food
ever tasted so good as Aunt Betsey's.
She was model housekeeper and you
always found her ready to receive and
you were welcome to stay as long as
you wished. And there were not many
weeks in her life but some of her kin she
loved so we'll were there. For IA years
she walked alone. Her dearly beloved
husband, Ezra Patch, dropped by the
way and ''his seat was empty for he was
no more" Sad and lonely the long
years passed and she ioDged for the time
to come when she, too, would "lay her
armour by and dwell with Christ at
Home" August "a, after four weeks of
patient waiting she, too, passed over to
the other shore, where her dear ones
were waiting to receive her. Her funer-
al was attended from the Methodist
church at Sandy Hook on the afternoon
of the 9th. By happy coincidence the
same pastor who attended her husbands
funeral IA years ago, Rev Mr. Taylor, at
tended hers. The following relatives
testified to their love for her by attend
ing her funeral: James s. Taylor and
wife, Granville Taylor and Mrs Ada
laide Holton of Danbury; Mrs NJ. E.
Sanford, Mrs Charlotte Beers and Mrs
E. L. Thompson, all of New Haven; DIR
and Mrs E. M. Beardsley of Monroe; Mr.
and Mre Louis Gray and Mr. and Mrs
Hawley of Huntington; DR. and Mrs V.
V. Morrell of Woodbury.; Mrs John
Brott of Southbury; Mrs L. F. North
rop, Mrs l. S. Weeks, Mrs William e.
Adams and Mrs P. A. Northrop of New
Milford; Mr. and Mrs Valentine Patch of
BAookfield and others whose names we do
not recall. The flowers were beautiful
and all spoke of love and esteem for the
departed. An ivy wreath from her
granddaughter, sheaf of wheat and
white carnations from her niece, Char
lotte Beers of New Haven, d sheaf of
wheat from Mrs Emily Bennett, a beau
tiful pillow of flowers with white cross
in center from Mrs Amelia Whitleck and
friend, a pyramid of flowers from the
Whitlock children. Dear old aunty, we
shall all miss you, when we think of you
it will not be in your old home awaiting
us, but in ''the new home" where you
will still be glad to see all those left
here.-[C. G. N, Boardman, CT.

have been improved from year to year
until at the present time they take the
premium at nearly every Agricultural
Fair where they are shown, and are with
out doubt the easiest running and best

Lawyer w. j. Beecher in Newtown, on
Saturday last, where there was final
settlement made of the estate of Horatio
N. Lake, who died In Newtown, Janu-
ary l3, 1896, whose will they contested.
But, as was announced at the time in
THE BEE, was settled by Trinity college,
which received practically all of the es-
tate, giving up to the heirs a substantial
part Of the same rather than to have
contest. The outcome of the case is
highly complimentary to Lawyer Beech
er, who carefully worked up the case for
trial, and who succeeded in inducing the
for the college to make a set
Element satisfactory to the contestants

who wished to go to whitman's grave.
About 800 people visited the scene Of the
massacre. At the grounds the Rev. T.
". Gum, Of Tacoma. offered prayer, after
%hich the survivors and students OF the
Whitman college covered the graves Of
the martyred with flowers. Mrs. Gather
Inc (Sager) Pringie. a survivor OF the mas
sacre and the adopted daughter OF DR..
and Mrs Whitman. then made short
address IN which she recalled points Of
interest connected with the massacre.

brought tears to the eyes OF the aged sur
vivors.
