HAMPSHIRE.

HAMPSHIRE, June "a gloom was
cast over this community Yesterday
morning by the sad news Of the death
of little Albert Curry, which occurred
Saturday, June y. Albert had been a
patient little sufferer for many weeks,
and death was indeed relief. 1t seems
very cruel that the precious little flow
er that has been permitted to bloom so
short while on earth should be rudely
snatched from us; but when we think
how great was his suffering during his
last illness and how much pain and
sorrow may have been in store for him,
let us say, Goods holy will be done"
Mother and father will miss the dear
little arms about their neck and the
sweet goodnight kiss; little sisters and
brothers will miss his sweet compan-
ionship; but weep not as those who
have no hope, for Albert is at rest,

comes across quite SO ludicrous disparity

bers' Journal, we come across an article

postage, then under discussion. Says the
writer:
"We consider this one of the most Vi

like most political economists, commits
the blunder of making no allowance for
the passions, the feelings, the habits and
the stupidities of mankind. Imagine ev.

for his letters or having to pay penny

sure that II would never work.

A Ponular Play Indeed.

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar" has been
translated into German nine times, into
French seven, into Italian six, into mod
ern Greek three, into Latin and Swedish
twice and into Croatian, Danish, Dutch,
Tristan, Polish, Roumanian, Russian,
Magyar. Portuguese and Yiddish. There
are seven or eight English acting editions
of the tragedy. But one attempt actually
to alter and improve It has ever been
made. This was in 1923, when John Shelf
field, duke of Buckingham, divided It inso
two parts at the death Of Caesar, calling
1t "The Tragedies of Julius Caesar and
Marcus Brutus'' and made many other
changes. To enrich this poor play. OF
rather these poor plays Pope furnished
some choruses. But they had the usual
effects of iii adjusted ornaments-they
served only to make the meanness OF the
thing they bedecked the more oonspicu'
ous.-New York Times.

THE OFFICE TOWEL.
No More Danger of Infection In Ii Than
In Many Other Things.

The Lancet, which Is never happy I'M
less discovering sanitary sermons in stones
and infection in everything, has fallen
foul of the club towel. l suppose there is
no doubt that the club towel is never, In
the strict sense of the term washed. If
there were no other reason for that, a SUI
fcient one would be found IN the fact that
the clubs do not pay enough 30 permit of
the washing being more than a matter of
form.
1t occurs to me, however, that if man
were so highly infected with any disease
that by merely wiping his hands on a
towel ho could communicates the COM
plant TO the next man who used the arti-
Gle, after it had been dipped in water and
mangled in the interval, the chances are
that he would disseminate infection in
many other ways, whatever happened to
the towel. There would certainly be a
risk in handling a newspaper after him,
and he might contaminate the billiard
cloth or even the cues, not to mention the
pens and the blotting paper.
If it is really necessary 30 take precau-
tions against fellow members in this con-
dition, we had better require every man to
produce doctors certificate before he en-
tiers the club premises. London Truth.

BOSTON'S EMPTY PEWS.
Figures Show That the City's Churches
Have 10000 Unoccupfed Sittings.

Have $4,000 Unoccupfed Sittings.
Massachusetts, and more particularly
Boston, has been regarded for many years
as being a great center of superfluOus
women. Now it seems likely to achieve a
reputation as tho city of an abundance of
church sittings. This is gathered from q
report submitted at the annual meeting of
the Boston City Missionary society. The
statistics show that the Protestant churches
of the city provide over 10000 surplus sit
tings for the Protestant population, even
were they all to attend church at any one
service.
These figures are tho result of careful
Investigation made by the society in No
vember, 1897 when the attendance at the
various services on given Sunday was
obtained by an accurate count. Out of
265 places of worship count was made In
234. The aggregate attendance at the sew
eral services and meetings was GA, 534. An
estimate of those present at the 29 churches
where no count was made brings this fig
ure up to 10S, 1913. Based on the estimate
of the seating capacity of the Protestant
churches made in 1892, the figures prove
that if all the worshipers of every descrip'
ton gathered in the churches at one serv-
ice the churches would have only been
two-thirds filled.
From the experience of the superintend
ent of the society he states that 144, 600
may be regarded as the total available at
tendance at any one church service. From
this it may be seen that If the sum total
of all those who had attended all the serv'
ices had gone to church at any one given
service there would have been over 30, DOC
empty seats. -New York Press.

HISTORIC FLAG.
In It the Assassin Booth Caught His Heel
After Shooting Lincoln.

After Shooting Lincoln.
Why the government has not taken bot
ter care Of tho silk flag which hung over
President Lincoln's box In Ford's theater
that fateful April night In ls65-the dag
over which the assassin tripped, causing
him to sprain his ankles an official
enigma. All the Lincoln relics have been
cared for In special museum In Washing
ton, but this flag, while in the hands OF
the government, was given over to the
care of the treasury department. No spe-
cial atteInpt has boon made to preserve ttss
silk. and it Is likely soon to decay and dis
appear. The flag has history of les own.
When Jubal Early made his raid in 1854
around Washington, the male employees
Of the treasury department organized to
aid In defending the capital. The women
employees could not fight, but they made
a silk flag and gave 1t to the treasury
| guard
April ~, 1865, two nights before the
assassination of President Lincoln, the
treasury guard gave an entertainment a.
| Ford's theater for charitable purposes.
| The theater was beautifully decorated. On
| the boxes occupied two nights later by
| President Lincoln and the White House
party were the two flags mentioned. They
gave the boxes such a pretty appearances
Chat the manager of the theater requested
| that the flags be allowed to remain until
the night of the 14th, when tbe president
was expected to be in attendance at play.
The request was granted, and on the ar
rival of the president at the theater the
fatal night he commented with pleasure
on the decorations and expressed admira-
tion for the flag which hangs in the treas
ury. In jumping from the box, after the
shooting of the president, to the stage be-
low, one of the spurs on Booths boot
caught in the folds of the flag, causing
him to lose his balance and fall, thereby
spraining his leg. The, rent in the flag is
shown to visitors and has been on exhfbi'
I tion for years.
The treasury people take as good care OF
the flag Ms they can, but they arc unap
quainted with the scientific way to do It,
The heat of the building is causing the
flag to decay rapidly.

In the wist~ Of 1905 The 80 slhsl,ng"
cruiser of the north atlantis squadron
was making visits to the small psrts along
the coast of Central America, The Asst ens
touched at being Truxillc, Honduras.
There 10 an old fort on the seawGrd side
Of the town manned by 80 Or 90 ragged
and barefooted soldiers, under the COM
mand Of colonel of the army Of Hon.
duras This officer, a. the comma ndant
Of the military forces, Is the most impor-
tant person In the town. Soon after the
arrival OF the cruiser and when national
salutss had been exchanged between ship
and fort, the colonel and his staff came Off
TO the ship to visit the captain, where ev-
cry attention was shown him.
1.-THE quartermaster of the watch keep
ing sharp lookout for everything through
his long glass, noticed that the flagstaff
on the fort presented an unusual appear
ance, having two flags hoisted. He re-
ported the circumstance TO the officer of
the deck, who after looking earnestly at
the fort sought the executive officer. The
executive took the glass, gave one good
look and went In haste 10 the captain.
The United States flag could be plainly
seen hoisted on the flagstaff of the fort
with the flag of Honduras waving proudly
| over 1t.
| Here was an insult to the flag that the
| young midshipman wanted to wipo out In
blood, or at least have target practice on
| their tumble down old fort, but the cap
| tain had ideas of his own and asked an ex
| PLANTATION. The colonel was much sur
| prised when told that we could not allow
any foreign nation to hoist its flag ovel
ours and protested that he bad ordered sht
display rs compliment, with no thought
| that IL would be taken otherwise. Wher
convinced that the captain could not se'
1t in that light, he wrote an order to hi
second in command, which was taken Il
the fort by one of the ships officers, who's
appearance there and the order caused
great hurry and e1oitement The troop
were turned out, drawn up facing thu
flagstaff and brought to present, while
with the playing Of the bugles, the TIVE
flags came down and ours went up again
alone. There 1t remained for half an hour
floating over foreign fort to show wha
Honduran colonel could do in the way o
reparation. After the flag was haule'
down the colonel and his staff went bacl
