He Didn't Drop.

His name was Moses Sparrow. He
was very green. That was the idea
that always came into Miss Page 8
mind when she looked at her country
landlady's son. Such rustic youth,
with such fair hair, such big blue eyes,
such sloping shoulders, such a lamb
like expression. And being there at
the farmhouse, whittier she had been
sent to spend the summer months, the
city belle resolved that she would try
her powers of fascination upon the
boy, who struck her as so good sub
ject for Irritation, in which all the fun
was to be on her side and all the SEN
timent on his.
And att she went, beginning with
smile, a word, and rejoicing to see
the fish bite so readily. She enjoyed
herself very much until she grew tired
of it, and then she decided on break
ing the heart she had won and enjoy
ing the crash. So she turned him out
in the garden, and made him sit beside
her on the bench under the wistarias,
and said, sadly:
"I'm going home next week. l
shall send you wedding-cards when
I'm married. I'm to be married to a
rich old gentleman next winter.
Then she waited to see him drop at
her feet. He only said:
"Wall, I'm real glad. 1 kinder felt
afraid I'd been goin' too far with you.
I'm a sort Of butterfly, firth from
flower to flower, you know; and I
hcv Airted with you, I du allow. 1
was afraid you'd go off in decline or
suthin-you seemed to set so much on
me-if you heerd sudden-like that me
and Ann Maria was keepin steady
company. But, law, since you re
goin' to he married, there amt no
harm done!'
Then he smiled at Miss Page, and
she arose and sailed away from him
with great dignity.-New York Josr-

Brought Into Prominence.

Deacon Comstock, Of Hatford, Conn,
is well-known as being provided with
an enormous handle to his counter
ance, in the shape of huge nose, in
fact it is remarkable for its great
length. On late occasion, when
taking up collection in the church
in which the deacon belongs, as he
passed through the congregation every
person to whom he presented the bag
seemed to be possessed by a sudden
and uncomfortable desire to laugh.
The deacon did not know what to
make of it. He had often passed
around before, but no such effects as
these had he ever before witnessed.
The secret, however, leaked out. He
had been afflicted for day or two
with sore on his nasal appendage,
and had placed small piece of stick
ing plaster over it. During the morn
ing of the day in question the plaster
had dropped off, and the deacon see
ing it as he supposed. on the floor,
picked it up and stuck it on again. But
alas for men who sometimes make great
mistakes, he picked up instead one of
those pieces of paper which the man
ufacturers of spool cotton paste on the
end of every spool, aad which reads:
Warranted to hold out 200 yards. y
Such sign on such nose was enough
to upset the gravity of even Puritan
congregation.

FUNERAL CEREMONIES.
Held This Morning Over the
Remains Of Edith Scott.

The funeral ceremonies of the late
Edith Scott the beloved daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George F. Scott were held al
10 o'clock this morning at her late
home. Many friends were present to
express their heartfelt sympathy to tho
bereaved parents and that the deceased
had many devoted friends was evident
from the mass of beautiful flowers which
adorned the casket and the room.
The service were opened with the
singing Of the hymn "Knocking Knock
ing, who is there" by tquartettc con-
sisting of Robert MceKnzie, Mrs. B. w.
Braley, Mrs. Norrie and N. II. Burn
ham. The music rendered by the
quartette was all selected by Miss Scott
before her death.
The Rev. Efiie X M. Jones next read
from the scriptures and offered prayer
after which Robert Mckenzie accom-
panied by Miss Kate Hea!ey sang a
beautiful tenor solo entitled "There is
an honr of hallowed peace"
Mrs. Jones then made some very
appropriate remarks in which she paid
high tribute to the beautiful character OF
the deceased. She dwelt at length upon
the lessons which were taught by the
life of Miss Scott and how when hel
physicians gave the verdict that death
must come from that moment she knew
that the end must come and through hel
suffering to the end she had a serene
confidence that victory was hers. She
was always faithful attendant in hel
work for the church and in her labors
for the good of all as those who knew
her best are we'll aware. The feeling
that she was servant of the Divine
Master was comfort and solace through
her hours of suffering. Her grcates
trouble was that her feebleness Of healtl
kept her from caring for others as it wa.
her wish to do and she was consoled
with the hope that in the other world
there would be an opportunity to accom-
plish her desire, and with that though
she held out her arms 10 welcome the
Father knowing that he would lead hel
where his judgment saw fit. The lesson
she has taught by her faith, truth an(
serenity Of disposition will uphold the
spirit and make it strong. She was
serving the best of US all for she was
teaching us things she learned from the
Father himself.
The services at the horse were closet
by the quartette singing the 'hym'
entitled "Jewels."
The burial services took place a
Elmwood Cemetery where the grave
was lined with beautiful flowers. Th'
qnartette sang "Gathering Home." ant
short service was performed by Mrs
Jones.
The immediate friends and relative
present were her father and mother

The Independent Caucus.

The caucus which was called for last
Saturday to place in nomination a repre-
sentative for the cityat the coming state
Legislature met according to announce
ment and after organizing adjourned to
meet last evening. At this session, by
the first ballot, Harvey Jersey was nom
mated unanimousl y as the candidate.
Mr.. IIcrsey was sent for and in a few
pertinent remarks accepted the nor1,ina-
ton.
A COMMUNICATION.
The objects of the Independent move
ment are rs follows:
First, to secure such amendments to
our city charter as will limit taxation
within the city to a rate which shall be
at once reasonable, satisfactory to the
tax payers. and yet afford sufficient rev.
enue for the city purposes.
Second, to secure such other amend
menls to the city charter rs will forever
set at rest our water problem.
While the citizen has access to free rum
it seems a great pity that he cannot have
access to free water. AS the matter
now stands it seems easier to get the
rum than the desired water. Injunc-
tions are the order of the day. They
embroil the city in expensive lawsuits
and create great dissatisfaction. A per
manent remedy can bc had only by
amending the charter.
Third, to accomplish other results
needful for the best interests of the
city.
it is believed by the supporters Of
this movement that the times are ripe
for its complete success. The recent
raising Of the grand list by the listers
would seem both to warrant and earn
estly commend corresponding limi'
tation of the tax rate. The epidemics Of
last year, the water famine on West
Hill of this year and the turning on of
the East Barre water according to pre-.
dicicns, seems to call loudly for set
Element of this water question which
shall be just to all parties concerned.
The friends of this movement are also
unanimous in their belief that Harvey
IIersey, by his we'll known study ano
earnest work on these several lines o.
municipal reform, is the one man. under
all the circumstances, to win success
Party lines, they believe, should give
way to the highest interests Of the city
thus involved in this movement.
