A TwO-Headed Calf.

Chas. Rice has cow which gave birth
to a calf with two perfect heads, with
only one exception, and that is it had only
three ears, one being placed exactly be-
tween the two heads. The heads join at
the jaw bone, the face of one being turned
little to the right the other to the left.
This is really peculiar freak of nature,
Mr.. Rice intends 20 have it stuffed but It
can be seen for few days at the shop of
Harry Howard.

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
Young Man at North Adams Charged
with Murder.


Archie Null, 81, was arrested at North
Adams Saturday, charged with numbering
Melville b. Lord wealthy farmer, at
Nassau, n. Y, near Albany, on Friday.
Null had worked on Lords farm. He came
to the house during the forenoon and asked
for an axe, which was given to him by the
housekeeper. Mr.. Lord and an orphan
boy did not return to dinner, and when
search was made they were found lying
side by side, their heads crushed in, APP
parently with an axe. Null had disap-
peared. Lord died without regaining con-
sciousness, but the boy was able to tell
how Null had committed the crime. Null
had been at work in North Adams the past
three weeks He left Thursday saying he
was going to New York to the Dewey cele-
bration, but returned unexpectedly Friday
night. The motive for the murder is not
clear. Mr.. Lord carried large sums of
money on his person, but Null had only So
cents when he was arrested. Most of Mulls
life has been spent as farm hand and
blacksmith in Nassau, where he has a
mother and brother.

The Turner's Falls fire department was
called out Saturday night to fight lively
fire in @. L. Glynn's dry goods store. The
fire started from the explosion of kero,
sene lamp which had been left burning in
the store. The fremen succeeded in con-
fining the fire to the store, but the stock
was badly damaged by fire and water. Mr..
Glynns loss will be about $4,000, insured for
$500.
The handsome grandstand on Pratt
Field, the Amherst college athletic ground,
was burned early Sunday morning. The
fire started ON the roof, probably from the
spark of locomotive. The lower floor of
the structure was deliberately fitted up as
field quarters for the athletic teams, and as
the foot ball season is just opening, the
destruction of the bath and dressing rooms
is a serious Inconvenience. Fortunately
the foot ball team was away, so that the
varsity suits and equipments we're not lost.
The building was erected in 1891, at a cost
of about $1,000, aud was gift to the col
lege from Frederick B. Pratt of Brooklyn.
The internal arrangements were very COM
plete, $4,000 worth of improvements, the
gifts of Harry Pratt, being added last year.

Another Company L BOY Dead.

Henry NJ. Stewart, who was WAGNER
for Co. l. in the Santiago campaign, died
at his mothers home in Greenfield Friday.
Since his return from Cuba he had not
been able to work. The town of Colrain,
from which he enlisted, paid him military
support up to the time of his receiving a
pension last July. Most of his life was
spent in Colrain on farm. His record as
a soldier was good. His mother and an
unmarried sister survive him. He was
nephew of Amos and William Stewart of
Colrain and descendant of Capt. Stewart
of Revolutionary fame.

FIRST M. e. CHURCH.
Summary of the Discourse Deliver
ed by Rev. Lumpkin.

Yesterdays services at the First M {.
E. church closed The labors of the
pastor for the present conference year.
AT the morning service Rev. Lumpkin
read as his text II.,Cor. 1911: Final
", brethren, farewell. Be perfect; be
of good comfort: be of one mind; live
in peace and the God of love and peace
shall be with you"
The following is summary OF the
discourse:
l have not chosen this text
for the purpose of preaching a
farewell sermon; but because 1t
EN- bodies few thoughts which
l wish to present to the audience at
this time.
No Methodist preacher has any
right to preach farewell sermon until
he has been at place for five years.
Whatever he may desire, whatever
the people may wish. whatever the
presiding elder has plaped may all be
changed at the conference.
If the rules of the church be fully
carried out, when an annual con-
ference meets every charge within the
bounds of the conference Is, at least
theoretically, without a preacher,
and every preacher is without a
charge.

Well. In the sand.

The Mexican burro has sense enough
to provide for its own needs, II a
story told by traveller in that coun-
try be true. We had found In an ar
royo sufficient quantity OF water to
make coffee. when we observed three
burros looking for water. They passed
several damp places. examining the
ground carefully, but deciding against
1t. Near us the leader halted and be-
gan to paw a hole In the hot, dry sand
with his right forefoot. Having dug
hole something over a foot In depth,
he backed out and watched 1t intentIy.
To our surprise. II soon began to fll
with water. Then he advanced, took
drink. and stepped back as II inyit-
ing his companions to follow his ex-
ample. At all events, that was the
light In which they seemed to view his
action, for they promptly advanced and
quenched their thirst at the shallow
well. When they had gone away we
got down and tried the water ourselves.
It was cool aud refreshing, much bet
ter than any we had found for many 4
day. We came to the conclusion that
the burros had plenty of horse sense"

SALVATION ARMY pAwNsHop.
New Entsrpri.e for the Beneat of the
Improvideat Poor.

New Entsrprise for the Benent of the
Improvident Poor.
From the Boston Herald: The sai-
vation Army is going into the business
OF selling second hand furniture and
lending money. 1t has opened small
store at the corner of Dover street and
Harrison avenue. which is to be de-
voted entirely to the buying and SELL
Ing OF secondhand furniture and
money lending in small way. A fact
In great evidence throughout the south
end is that the poor suffer much at
the hands OF INSCRIPTIONS usurers.
The father OF family. who has the
drinking habit to a definite extent,
often goes on prolonged spree, and
during these times II Is no exaggera-
ton to say that the little home Is
often bereft OF any article of furniture
which has money value. Every
thing is changed into rum. or course
man under the influence OF liquor is
in no condition to bargain and the
willy pawnbroker secures the articles
Tor about one-tenth OF their value.
The Insurer will buy anything. and
II the seller wishes to buy his goods
back he is charged exorbitant prices.
Certain types of sociologists will argue,
no doubt, that If the drnnkard knows
he can PAWN his furniture and. under
the new system OF the Salvation Army
advocates. get II back again at almost
the same price as paid him. II may
tend to encourage drunkenness. In
reply to this, however. the Salvation
Army people say that such would not
be the case. OF course 'incorrigi-
bles" Will be found and they will be
weedets out from among those who
have some good In their hearts. The
wife and children OF the drunkard will.
In as many cases as possible, be taken
care OF by the Salvation Army. Shell
ter will be given to them II their land
lord turns them out for non-pay
OF rent. and their furniture will be
kept intact until the husband reforms.
There will be no attempt on the part
OF the Salvation Army to make large
profits. A low rate OF interest will
be charged for money loaned. and like
equitable arrangements will be made
In relation to the furniture. The store
Is in an unpretentious building. There
is no attempt at decoration. The let
tering on the windows is almost un-
noticeable when business gets bet
ter other and more commodious quar-
ters will be secured. The store is
pretty well stocked with goods now. In
every case the names Of those doing
business with the establishment will
be kept secret
