Webster Judging from the following
'.private opinion" OF DR.. Adams in the
Watertown Public Opinion.
DIR. Adams-How grandly our city is
advertised through stink and filth. One
cannot turn acorner OF street or alley,
in the very center, without being greet
ed by odors-odors OF the dead.
The eve is also RECALLED. One might
think himself transported TO some old
city oil the Gillette east. Our aldermen
aud health officers are receiving lovely
encominms. aud properly. The alder.
men cannot afford To pay said officer
only u mere pittance-hence his laxity
But why depend on him? Let each one
clean MP bis own premises-that certain
ly will help q good deal. But this city
with it's lay must he drained, we must
have sewerage. Why take into consi-
deration the cost OF anything when the
lives aud health OF loved ones are at
stake? Why? when sewerage would
soon my for itself IN lives, time aud an
increase Of derirable population. 1t
seems 10 me the aldermen IRE very
short sighted. We are getting a little
taste oi the results OF fifth. Diphtlleria
and kindred Diseases are caused by it.
They start ia tile homes oi the low aud
dirty classes, but in an epidemic the
~cleanest home is no bar 10 their en-
tiunce and dire work. The aldermen

Governor Thomas and party have

to look over the land which the Great
Plains Water Storage company desire
to purchase from the state. After 60
ing over the lands the members ex-
pressed themselves as being favorable
to selling the lands under the agree
ment which the water company is will
ing to sign. They promise to settle
1900 families upon the lands in the
course Of the next three years. The
land is Of no value to the state at pres
cnt and can be made valuable only by
the use Of the water controlled by
this corporation. The Storage COM

strictly phi'anthropic purposes, but

Holly School of Agriculture.

AT the second regular meeting held
last Monday evening several new
names were added to the role OF men,
bership increasing the total number
OF members to over thirty. This would
seem to be very good proof that the
school is rapidly becoming popular,
when it is remembered that it was or
ganized but three weeks ago with a
membership of seven.
Mr.. Hollister, the instructor, gave
an interesting lecture on How plants
grow from the seed'' which he illus
trated with drawings and partly ger
minated seeds from the hot beds. So
far the school has taken up eight sub
jects which has been assigned to as
many divisions, each division being
under the supervision of chief, who
chooses his associates. The divisions
are as follows:
/. Flora Culture.
2. Preparation OF the Soil and Culti-
vation Of Crops.
3. Irrigation.
4. Harvesting and Marketing.
.. transportation.
9. Animal Industry.
:. Entomology.
s. Forestry.
The division Of Flora Culture, in
which the ladies are chiefly interested,
will commence operations this week
by planting seeds and bulbs which
have been furnished b. the school,
each member is to keep Il complete rec
ord OF time OF planting, manner OF
treatment, and progress OF plant dur
ing the season. At the end OF the sea-
son these records or reports will be
submitted TO a committee who will
choose the best two, judged from a
literary and practical point of view,
these two will be published.
The same plan will be applied to all
other divisions. New division will be
added and chiefs appointed as new sub
jectS come up.
Mr. HOllister spoke to the chiefs on
their duties, and as soon as possible
will have the Instructions written and
distributed.
Some of the ladies' will do what they
can TO help the children in planting
and caring tor flowers.
The school will meet every Monday
evening until further notice.
All who are interested in the work
are invited to become members.

THE MAKER OF FABLES.
Some Anecdotes of Aesop, the Kamsas
Greclan.

Grecian.
Aesop, the celebrated fabulist, was
born about 620 B. c. lilo is supposed
to have been a native of Phrygia, but
the place Of his birth is very uncer-
tain. several Grecian cities claiming
the honor. While quite young he was
brought to Athens as a slave, where
he served several masters. but was
finally made a freeman in considera-
ton of his wit and beauty OF mind
II Is said that he was at one time the
chief servant OF philosopher named
xanthus. One day Xanthus wished to
give grand dinner to some OF his
distinguished friends. and he in
structed Aesop to buy for the occa-
sion the very best things in the mar
ket. Aesop went to market, purchased
q great number of tongues, and told
the cook to serve them with differ
ent sauces. When the dinner was
ready. there was tongue in all styles" !"
and not one thing else. xanthus was
enraged. He called Aesop to him and
said: II ordered you to buy the very
best things In the market. Why did
you not obey me?" II did obey you,
Master Xanthus." Aesop replied. "Is
there. master. anything better than
tongues? Is not the tongue the bond
of civil society. the key Of science.
and the organ OF truth and reason!
Is It not by means OF the tongue that
cities are built. and governments es-
tablished and instructed? Do not men
instruct. persuade. and preside in ss-
semblies by using their tongues?"
I'm excuse you this time" said Kan
thus. FOR your reasoning is truly
good; but these same friends will dine
with me tomorrow. and as I want to
diversity my entertainment. go to
market again and buy the worst things
you can find" The dinner the next
day consisted also OF nothing but ton
CUES. xanthus, violently angry, de-
manded an explanation OF Acsop.
Master" said the servant, you told
me to buy. for this dinner, the worst
things / could hnd. Is there anything
worse than tongues?Is not the tongue
the instrument Of strife and conten-
tion. the fomentor of lawsuits. and
the source Of divisions and warsi Is
not the tongue the organ Of error. of
falsehood. of calumny. of blasphemy?'
Aesop was not punished: for he con-

used Alright, is the best Of all things.
ari the very worst when put to
wrong use. Soon after Aesop was
made free he visited Croesus. and he
and the rich Lydian King became close
friends. He went to Athens. and while
there composed the fable Of Jupiter
and the Frogs" for the instruction Of
the Athenian citizens. About 564 B.
c. Aesop met death in a very cruel
way. Croesus had sent him to Delphi
with large sum Of money that ne
wished to have distributed among re
citizens. but quarrel arose over the
matter. and Aesop refused to distrib-
ute the money. Then the Delphians
became angry. accused him Of sacri-
lege, and hurled him from . prscipice.

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Gallant Charge of the Gordon Highland
ers at Elandslangte.


London, Oct. 24.-The Daily Mail
publishes the following description of
the battle of Elandslaagte from the
special war correspondent, G. w. Ste
vens, filed at Ladysmith:
1.-The battle was a brilliant, complete
success. The Beers numbered from
1900 to 1000, and probably had about
100 killed and $50 wounded.
1.-THE fight itself was like a practi-
cal illustration of hand book tactics,
each arm represented doing its proper
work to perfection. The Gordon High
1anders in their attack advanced in
magnificent order. They We're immedi-
ately saluted with a heavy fire, which
told from the first
Their major fell with bullet in his
leg. but as he lay where he fell he lit
a pipe and smoked placidly while the
advance continued. AS man after man
dropped supports We're rushed into the
firing line, our men darting from cover
to cover, splendidly led and ever adj
vancing. Yet, as ridge after ridge was
won, the Highlanders still found new
ridge. and thus they fought their bleed
ing way until the final ridge was near,
with nearly every officer down.
Then, slamning every available man
onshire and light horse, all mixed,
with bugles chanting the advance, bag
pipes shrieking and the battle a con-
fused surge, our men swept yelling for
ward and the position was won.
meanwhile squadrons of lancers
and dragons Tapped round the Boer
left flank, catching the enemy as they
retired in order. goring and stamping
them to pieces"

ries in Natal following each other in
quick succession, though accompa-
MED by heavy losses on the side Of
the victors, bear striking testimony to
the valor of the vanquished Beers.
They appear to have fallen victims to
every plan which they counted on to
drive the British into the sea. They
have been beaten in detail by counter
strokes, carefully considered and brill
liantly carried out, In face of courage
GUS opposition, which has done much
to increase the British respect for the
burghers, whose splendid valor and de-
termination it is universally admitted
reached the highest level. Fuller ac-
counts of Saturdays battle at Eland-
slaagte emphasizes the splendid gallan
try exhibited on both sides, and supe-
riority of the British in pitched bat
ties, although the Beers fought with
the greatest tenacity to the last, only
yielding when further fighting was
hopeless. -
