Mark Furman Of East Wallingford, who
takes possession at once and is to open a
hotel there. It has not been used as a reg
ular hotel for the past 30 years or more,
and, in view of the number of hotels and
saloons in North Walpole at the present
time, as well as the three good hotels this
side of the river, it looks as if there was
little demand for the legitimate hotel facil-
tiles there. Mr.. Currier has already NOV
ed into one of the Wilson cottage houses
nearly mile further south.

BELLOWS FALLS.
D,ssup.nrsncs OF Another Citizen.

A disappearance of another Bellows
Falls citizen has been puzzling the author
tiles since Tuesday, Nov. 81, and the gener-
ally expressed sentiment is that another
man has fallen into the Connecticut river
and been drowned while under the in
fluence of liquor
On that date James Tobin, 81, left his
home on the Old Terrace about 7 A. NJ,
saving that he was going over to North
Walpole and would be back to breakfast
about 8. He was seen about the village of
North Walpoe in badly intoxicated con
dition during that forenoon, and as late as
noon, since which time no trace of him has
been discovered. 1t is supposed that in re-
turning across the Boston q Maine bridge
he fell into the river and no one saw him.
Mr.. Tobin and family came here from
Dandy some months ago, and he had work
ed as laborer at various places, principally
at Oak Hill cemetery. Mrs. Tobin is still
here, and they have one son who has been
employed at the depot restaurant. A num-
Der of days after the disappearance Chief
of-Police Thompson received word from
the work house at Rutland that a man
who answered the description had been
brought there from Windsor, and Mr..
Thompson went there at once with the son
Of the missing man, but he proved to be not
the one wanted. Since that time no trace
whatever has been learned. The family
had planned to return to their old home in
Dandy.

When any stranger stops at his is

above all, he will take him out to see
his pet, which is perhaps the largest

feet long. He came through the mar

he had grown SO large that he could

The Road to Wealth.

In my opinion, the secret Of money
making depends chiefly upon five
things-push, "squareness," clear head
edness, economy and rigid adherence
to the rule Of not overworking. Too
much work is worse than no work at
all. 1t undermines the constitution
and units a man mentally and phys
ically for the battle of life. Ten hours
q day Of steady work is as much as m
Lian-no matter how robust-Ought to
attempt. In addition to these things,
avoid being too %grasping; better make
a small profit by sure means than at
tempt to make a larger one by uncer-
tain and risky Observation-Disclosures

ern official states regarding President
Hills visit to Huron and his reported

that it is possible that the road will
build a branch line through to the Mis-
souri, river or to some point on the river
and thence to Yankton, connecting
with the Yankton branch. 1t is adj.
mitted that the Huron branch has
not been as profitable to the system as
was anticipated when it was built,
since the section lying around Huron is
not a rich farming country. The Mis-.
souri, valley, on the contrary, is pro-
ductive and we'll settled. 1t is thought
that President Hill may build into this

He was relieved from his Manila
post in accordance with an arrange

other powers from obtaining what she
cannot acquire herself"
After we had spoken Of Samoa, as
evidence Of her policy, the admiral
said:
I'VE need a large and thoroughly
equipped navy that can cope with any
