THE STORM.
Harki harkl harkl

Harki harkl harkl
Hark to the thunder's roar!
Hark how the maddened waves
Burst on the rock-girt shores
Lashed by the furious winds.
Their foaming crests they rear
Rush on With mighty bound.
Start back In shuddering fear.
Hark TO the rafting hail!
Hark TO the driving rainl
The heavens. q blaze OF light.
Throb as In ouivering pain:
And nature seems to work,
Unchecked, its own wild viii.
While man looks on in awe,
And bird and beast are still
God on, the whirlwind rides.
The etorn Is meath HIS feet
He holds in His right hand
The winds, His coursers fleet.
They bear creations Lord
In triumph on His way.
And In their maddest race
His slightest check obey.
The lightning Is His glance.
His breath upheaves the sea.
The thunder His dread voice
OF awful majesty:
In natures seeming war
ITS Maker walks abroad.
And all its mighty powers
Are servants of our God

Getting Even with Her Enemy.

A woman was staying in a Canadian
village one summer. and met an old
woman who had blood feud on with
another woman. "How is it Miss Smith
was seen taking tea with you yester-

she said, triumphantly, "she asked me
to tea the day before, so retaliated the
next day. 1 knew she'd make herself

VILLAGE INDUSTRIES.

The use of machinery, with steam
and electricity. has concentrated
manufactures and brought to an end
the days when every small commu-
nifty contained, as Woodstock once
did, ITS own tailors, shDemakers,
tanners, weavers, rarrlage-makers,
wood workers, soap kers, and
producers of pretty much all the
things the community needed. The
large farm, even, of Is years ago
was not infrequently almost self-sus-
tanning; making for itself the many
things " hich now are brought ut
small expense from factories in or
near distant cities.
This concentration of industries
has of course greatly affected the
growth pt New England villages
and their economic and social life.
The many men VIII" were kept busy
here so or Is years ago in making
and exchanging the things the COM
munisy needed lost their occupations
, for the most part long ago. 1t
would be idle to attempt to fight
against these changes. The ma
chine. made shoes and the machine
made clothes are bevond COMPETE
ton.
There are advantages and COM
pcnsations, however, in village life,
which make many wish to continue
in il; while many others find them
selves tied to it hy one circumstance
or another.
| Ana in the village it is possible
for certain small industries again to
thrive. Efforts are being made in
many small places to produce il fair
number of choice and artistic things,

these days, and such as inperatively
call for careful, painstaking hand
and brain labor for their produc-
ton.
In the little village of East Auro.
ra, Y. ", there are several small
profitable enterprises-tine printing,
wrought-iron work, good furniture
which have grown up within I;
few years largely from the efforts OF
one man, Ebert q. Hubbard. The
beginnings of such things we see
here in the wroust-iron work pu

WOODSTOCK 8, SHARON 6.
The Woodstock and Sharon base
ball teams played one of the best
games seen here this season on Vail
field last Saturday afternoon; score
@ to in favor of Woodstock.
In tic first five innings Wood
stock WAS BANKED. Sharon scored
three times in the nrSt, then ,uns
came to them more slowly. but it
looked like defeat for the club for Il
time. Williams pitched we'll for
Sharon and was sufficiently puzzling
to the local hitters to make the game
interesting. Tabor was not quite in
his usual form, but his batting
brought in four runs, two long. well
placed hit, doing the work.
The playing was excellent all
around, and the game pleased the
grand stand, the attendance being
large. The town likes to seea good
ball game and this is shown well
enough by the increased interest in
the sport.
The score 10y innings:
