A Statement of Belief.

The service in the Congregational church
Sunday evening was attended by large
audience. Rev. Albert Hammatt of the
Unlversalist church assisted the pastor.
The pastor, Rev. j. H. Reid, had pre-
viously announced that he should on that
evening give statement OF his belief re-
garding mooted questions in theology
His statement was torcible and explicit !;
at one point only did he qualify, and that
was when he said the incorrigibly wicked
must suffer the fate of humiliation iii
there are any SUCH"
Mr.. Reid began his remarks by saying
that be was not going to tell what he be-
lieved for sectarian purposes. The sew
eral denominations differ in minor points
only; there is unanimity as regards the
great essentials. His father was Coven-
anter. and he was thankful that he was
born and reared in home where strict re-
ligiou. life obtained rather than IN the
average worldly home of today with nc

Shooting Season Begins.

The shooting season in New Hampshire
opens Friday, September 10, says the
Keene Sentinel, at which time the law is
off on nearly all kinds OF game found IN
the state.
From the above date until December 10
it will be lawful to kill raccoons, gray |
squirrels, rabbits, cartridges, woodcock, |
quail, plover, etc. Moose and caribou are |
protected until 1901 and deer are under
similar protection, except in the counties
of Carroll and Coos and certain districts
| in Grafton county.
Favorable reports have been received
regarding cartridges this fall in various
sections and good wing hunting is antici-
psted. In this vicinity it is claimed that
woodcock, plover and cartridges are
numerous and it is said that hunters have
been out on the meadows and in the alders
and low bushes for fortnight or more,
!regardless OF the law. There are few
seasons when nuts of all kinds are more
plentiful than at present. Squirrels, rab-
bits and ether animals will find an abund-
ance of forage and will probably be plenti-
full little later. At present they have not
come into the grounds where they are apt
to feed in the fall

ROSES.

I'm taking roses home with me to-
night;
Red roses, costing half my weekly
pay;
They'll give my wife perhaps an hours
delight,
And then she'll cast them careIessly
away.
What fools we mortaIs be! Long years
ago
1 plucked, with careless hand, wild
roses red,
And tossed them to a maid I used to
! know.
Today I found some rose leaves,
faded, dead,
Hid in a little corner where my wife
Keeps sundry treasures stored; a
note or two;
A young mans photo; (not, I trust,
like life;)
A toy, a trinket, and a baby's shoe,
I'm fifty now, and counted somewhat
gruff;
My figures portly and my hair is
gray.
Bah! One would think that I was old
enough
To scorn the mad joy of bye-gone
day.
And yet I felt unreasoning delight
To find those withered rose leaves
lying there;
And well, I'm taking roses home to-
night;
And all the time wonder, "Will she
carer"

NEW ENGLAND NOT DECLINING.

Says Professor L. H. Bailey, of Cor
nell, in an article in The Outlook:
"The common notion that the agri-
culture of New England is on the de-
cline is a myth. The agriculture IS
only changing. Rural New England
is prosperous. The highway from
Springfield to Portland and Hartford
runs through as thrifty country as
one could hope to see, and the one in
dustry is farming. 1t is not a district
of summer boarders, nor of suburban
residences. The clean, well-tilled
fields, snug barns, ample and coy
houses, all bespeak happy and pros
porous people. These homes have
been paid for from the land, and they
are 'replete with comfort. No other
country can show such kingly farm
homes, in such numbers, as America.
There is a flavor about these New Eng
land farmSteads which suggests thrift,
frugality, stability, contentment.
Economic conditions have drawn peo-
pie together in the last two genera
tons. Cities have grown. Condi-
tons are slowly changing. People are
desiring to extricate themselves from
the city. There is a perceptible move
ment countryward. The country is
improving and civilizing. The read
justment must come"

RUBBER BANDS.

Rubber bands have supplanted
Irvine to great extent in the last few
years" observed a salesman in a drug
store as he slipped a band around a
package. Cup to ten years ago rub
Der bands were seldom seen outside of
court house or a lawyers Office, and
their use was confined almost exclus-
lively to the filing of court documents
and papers. Now you find them every
where. Bands are used on all small
packages in drug stores, and they
have become an important factor in
the, grocery business. They answer
the same purpose as twine, and are
adjusted much easier. And then a
more symmetrical package may be put
up with the bands, and that is the
pride of a good salesman. Yes, the
rubber band has come to stay.-Phila-
delphia Record.

quietly, looking down into her frank,
brown eyes. II don't think we have
met before, and yet-ah, well! perhaps
it is only the same curious feeling you
were just speaking of, and to which I
allude-I-I mean the author of
'Thoth-mes' alludes-1n your favorite
passage. Do you know that the
psychologists tell us now that all that
sort Of thing arises from mere twist
ing of our nerve fibers?"
OF course, before their stroll ended
he had confessed to the authorship of
the novel-for an author is an author,
though he may have only few
months to live. And he also told her
-gently-of his approaching fate.
She was only a young girl, but she
had a Moman's heart, and as he told
his sad story and how fame was COM
ing to him, all too late, her eyes were
wet with sympathetic tears.

A DAY CTF.

I'm sorry for the lonely chap
Who hasn't any boys;
Whose folks may stop and take nap
Without a fear of noise;
Especially when with tireless vim
The circus band plays free,
And Willie says I'm taking him
When he is taking me.
I sympathize with him, 1 do,
With none to tell him all
About the jumping kangaroo
And the giraffe so tall;
To help him spell the words so long
Which curiously engage
His eyes, as, Flooding through the
throng,
He looks from cage to cage.
No curly head bends DER the print
Spread out upon his knee,
To gather some pictorial hint
Of glories yet to be.
No treble notes of laughter check
His sneer at cloWnish skill;
No little arms glide round his neck
When all is dark and still.
I'm sorry for him. IT'S the truth,
For he has lost them all,
Those youthful joys which only youth
Has power to recall.
I laugh at Times reminders grim,
And trudge the sights to see,
And Willie says I'm taking him
Whom he iS taking me-

LOVE AND BEAUTY.

What gain, did we give US ever
To love and beauty's care!
So would our hearts be gentle,

Over the roses blown;
Yea, the angels of heaven grow whittier
Looking on the throne.

Santiago, Cuba, July Notwithstanding
the fever epidemic. only sixteen deaths from all
causes reported last week. This Is the

No new cases Of yellow fever have been reported
In five days, and nearly all patients in the hos

American occupation it has been reduced to
about 112, and is constantly decreasing. owing
to the efficient sanitary measures adopted.

would be continued until he satisfied that
there was no danger Of infection. There is no
fever in the province except the cases here,
where the disease Is under control.
