The Lake Shore Railway is without
doubt the most popular railroad connect
ing the East and West. 1t is the only
double track road between Boston, New
and public opinion without doubt would
give the Lake Shore the palm of excel
lence. High speed, perfect safety, excel
lent road bed, comfortable coaches, and
courteous attendants have all helped to
give it it's present high standing. If you
wish to save time and money, and yet
secure the best, see that you buy your

OFFICERS WE'RE ABSENT.
But Primary and intermediate Sunday
School Teachers Met.

The Primary and intermediate Sun
day School Teachers union held a
meeting yesterday, but it was an irreg-
ular sort of a gathering, owing to the
fact that none of it's officers, with the
exception of the treasurer put in an
appearance.
The reason for this unusual state of
affairs lay in the fact that the Sunday
school state convention has been meet
ing in Boston this week, and the presi-
dent of the local organization, Mrs. M.
P. Higgins, with other members, among
them Mrs. II. c. Brown, who was to
have read a paper yesterday on Real
object of S. S. concerts" Mrs. H. N.
Watrous, Mrs. Munroe Murphy, and
Mrs. A. F. Briggs, were in attendance
AS it was, for time it looked as if
the half-score of faithful ones who as
sembled at the Y. M. c. A. were doomed
to depart without a meeting, but at that
juncture Mrs. j. H. Matthews the
treasurer, appeared, and was elected
temporary moderator. Mrs. Corwin
Thayer, who was down on the program
as teaching the kindergarten lesson, did
so, and Mrs. Matthews continued from
last time her reading from Picture

Strawberry KING Van Hoten Sells His
Entire Crop to C. c. Duff.

Fine results are brought under the
spell OF uncomfortable energy, in which
minor Incidents vanish before an over
mastering impulse. There may be here
and there few ragged edges in the
design, but the achievement iscommand-
ing and the fragmatists themselves are
compelled to applaud. We have lately
seen an example of what man who has
pluck and energy with determination
to succeed can accomplish, by visit to
the farm OF j. r. VanHoten.
Twenty-seven years ago he moved on
the place. The only capital he had was
large family. Immediately he went
into raising OF Strawberries, and exercis-
ing the same sagacity and will power
that they do who enter mercantile pur-
suits and make success against great
opposition, he too has made success.
Few people can bear success. The fine
qualities OF courage, patience and
capacity for work developed in the pur-
suit OF riches are chilled by the realiza-
tions OF over hopes. While Van may not
be rich, he is not poor. but can
choose the happy mean, wherein
Ii the secret OF true conJentment.
With this year Mr.. VanHoten closes his
twenty-seventh year in raising straw
berries and retires from the business with
grateful remembrance OF his many
patrons, during all these years he has
endeavored to be strictly honest in all
his deals, especially in always giving
patrons just what they paid for, full
quart, standard measure, and this year
he has sold to Mr.. C. c. Duff his whole
crop of berries and Mr.. Duffs patrons
will know that when they receives quarts
OF berries from him they can rest assured
that they get standard measure and as
fine berries as this state affords, at this
time OF the year. Mr.. VanHoten's berries
never looked more promising for a boun-
tiful yield and splendid quality. ~
