HARDWICK.

About 45 a. m. last Thursday work
men passing along the road discovered
fire in the grist mill Of H. G. Swerdierger.
The fire was discovered on the ground
floor Of the main building. The flames
ran up the elevator and through the 70 #
in several places. 1t is s wooden frame
building. The interior of the building
was practically destroyed. The cause OF
the fire is a mystery. The employees
were in the mill late Wednesday evening,
and before they went away they took
particular notice that there was hardly
any fire in the stove. There was no
other place in the building that there
was known to be any fire. There is no
indication that the fire started from the
stove. 1t is not thought that it was in
cendiary, but the origin is unknown.
Loss on grain. -four, and sacked feed is
estimated at $4,000, and on buildings
about $1,000. There was no insurance
it having run out three or four days be-
tore. Mr.. Swerdierger has operated this
mill since 1868. 1t is thought that it
will be rebuilt Immediately.

Death Of Hon. c, p. Owen

This community was shocked last
Wednesday by the rapid spreading OF
the news that Judge Owen had sustained
stroke of apoplexy and that his life
was despaired OF. He lived until even
ing never gaining consciousness.
Clarence P. Owen, son OF Philander
Owen, was born in this place March 81.
1874, and with the exception of few
Years spent in the service OF the govern
ment, in Iowa, during the early seven
ties, he has spent his life here Most of
The town Offices have been administered
by him, and for the past 20 years he
has been moderator OF the annual town
meeting. He represented the town in
1892 and served the county as assist
ant Judge from 1886 to 1890. He was
a justice OF the peace, overseer OF the
poor and county auditor at the time OF
his death.
Although universally esteemed as a
public officer, Judge Owen was at his
best as neighbor and friend. He was
first to visit home where sickness or
death had entered, and scarce family
has not ielt his unstinted generosity.
Possessed OF an habitually optimistic
temperament, he had the power to I'M
part his sunny disposition to Others;
and many will miss the cheering words
Of Judge Owen.
About 400 people gathered at the Con-
gregational church to pay their tribute
to his memory. The service was under
the direction of the Masons, and was
conducted by Rev. r. L. Sheaff of
Barton.

WEST WATERFORD.

E. A. Blodgett, an rnterprising farmer,
has just completed one of the best barns
in town, modern IN style and thorough
in construction from start to finish. The
lumber and stone was all taken from the
farm and enough of the latter to build
another. The dimensions Of the struc-
ture are Al X sc feet. There are thirty
tie.ups. A fl ,or twelve feet wide reaches
through the center of the barn making
the stable convenient and pleasant. The
stock go direct from the stable to the
basement for water, thus avoiding the
storm and cold. silo Of one hundred
and fifty tons capacity is placed in one
corner The barn is painted red, trim.
med with white and the name valley
Farm" is printed on the front end.
Altogether it shows the enterprise and
thoroughness of the owner. Without
doubt few il cidents OF Mr. Blodgett's
life in this connection will not be out OF
place.
When ten years old he was hired out
to a neighbor Tor one month, to drive
oxen to plow, and from that time to
twenty-one years OF age his earnings,
above board and clothes, were placed in
the family fund. Starting as he did in
business life without penny at his COM
mand and accomplish what he has to
own his surroundings, with money in
the bank, deserves the careful attention
of young farmers at the present time. If
they would follow his example there
would be fewer failures and less CON-
planning that farming doesn't pay,

Rubber hand For Headache.

Departmental headaches are dis
tinct malady," remarked we'll known
physician to reporter, "and it is some
what Of surprise how many sufferers
there are among department clerks
from this trouble. The thing seems to
grow among them, and they have their
headaches as regularly as they have
their work.
A simple remedy which is worth try
ing is to put rubber band around the
head just above the ears. The band
should not be tight enough to stop the
circulation of the blood. The band
known as the string band is generally
sufficiently heavy for the purpose 1t
should be applied just as soon as it is
noticed that the headache is setting in
and taken off the moment the pain
ceases. In many cases the rubber band
works nicely, though it affords no re.
lief when the headache is the result Of
stomach troubles or biliousness.
II find also that rubber band twist.
ed about toe between the corn and the
foot is handy remedy to stop the pain
from jumping corn. Corns are very
liable to be troublesome when there is
much humidity in the atmosphere The
rubber band seems to temporarily quiet
the nerves in the toe, and in this way
stop the pain. AS in the case of band
around the head, the pressure should not
be tight enough to stop the circulation
of the blood. "-Washington Star.

ArreIander,a Wit.

AS Hansen was Germany's greatest
master in mathematical astronomy, so
was the venerable Argelander III the OBJ
Sensational side of the science, says
Professor Simon Newcomb in The At
lantic. He was of the same age as the
newly crowned emperor, and the two
were playmates at the time Germany
was being overrun by the armies of Ma
poleon. He was held in love and respect
by the entire generation of young as
tronomers, both Germans and foreign
ers, many of whom were proud to have
had him as their preceptor. Among
these was Dr. B. A. Gould, who fire.
quently related story of the astron-
omer's wit. When with him as stu
dent, he was beardless and had good
head of hair Returning some years lat
er, he had become bald, but had made
up for it by having full long beard.
He entered Argelanders study unan-
nounced. The astronomer looked at him
with some surprise, not at first recog
nizing him.
"Do you not know me, Herr Profess
or?'
The astronomer looked more closely.

hair struck through"

A Trio of Bulls,

The following remark is by a high
land clergyman. In his sermon preached
in a small church i'll Strathspey, after
inveighing against slothfulness, he said
III closing, ''Do you think Adam and
Eve went about the garden Of Eden
with their hands in their pockets?''
Last year, in the north of Ireland,
the following came under my observa-
tion. In hotel the porter, for my in
formation and dutifully in furtherance
of the interests of his employers, re-
marked, "If you want drive, sir, you
needD t 60 out of the hotel" meaning,
of course, that carriages formed part Of
the establishment. Another bull was
in conversation overheard between
two workmen. One put the ques
ton, "Were you acquainted with So
and-so?" to which the reply was, mo;
he was dead before knew him."
An Irish friend of mine was describ-
ing dinner party he had been at. 1t
was great success, as two noted talk
ers were present, each of whom was
talking so fast that neither could get In
a word.

Saved Life and Name.

The French author Martainville,
who began his career toward the close
of the last century, is said to have owed
the preservation of his life to witty
piece of audacity. He was royalist
and did not hesitate to attack the
French revolution and its authorities.
Presently, of course, he was summoned
to appear before the revolutionary tribu-
nal. The revolutionary tribunals at
that time did not hesitate to send every
body to the guillotine who had ventured
to attack them.
Martainville expected to 60 with the
rest of the victims. "What is your
name?" asked the judge "Martain-
vile, said the young author. MAR
tainville!' exclaimed the judge. You
are deoeiving us and trying to hide your
rank. You are an aristocrat, and your
name is De Martainville. :" "Citizen
president, t." exclaimed the young man,
81 am here to be shortened, not to be
heightened Leave me my nameP A
true Frenchman loves witticism above
all things, and the tribunal was SO
pleased by Martainvilles grim response
that it spared his life.

which was such shock to the commu

when the doctor arrived to visit the little
boy who has been so ill., His suspicious
were aroused at once and he was positive
in his belief that her death resulted from
no natural cause. Further investigation
proved the surmise correct, Tor the tab.
let's which he had left tor the brother
were missing. He had told them that
they were a poison, and ordered them
kept out OF the reach OF the children. 1t
is supposed her curiosity was aroused
and she was tempted to taste and see for
herself She was doubtless ignorant in
regard to the meaning of the word
poison but IN all proba bility she climbed
TO high shelf and took them, as post
norton examination which was made
later proved.
She was very sick for short time and
some neighbors were sent for, but al.
though remedies were applied, they could
not relieve her. Presently she said.
Now guess | will go to sleep" and
died soon after.
