with stern and solemn dignity.
The prisoner, Henry Unger, was
accused of having kissed Rosy"
on Thursday evening on the cor
ner of Fourth street and Santa Fe
avenue. Marshal Eakin was the
attorney for the defendant; Frank
Carmody, for the prosecution; and
Don Denton acted as sheriff The
Agora club, consisting of fifteen
boys-mostly of the High school
had informed the girls that their
presence would not be permitted at
the trial. However, goodly
number met with Mable Burns
and at the beginning of the pro-
ceedings entered and surprised the
court. Most of the jurors were
selected from among the girls.
The jurors agreed on the third bal
lot and the prisoner was acquitted.
The testimony of the witnesses,
however, disclosed the fact that
Frank Perkins is much enamored
of Rosy" owing to her resplend-
ent beauty. Last night her
usually graceful movements were
somewhat rickety, probably due to
her excited state of mind. She
had the modest beauty of her face
partially concealed by pretty
sun bonnet. All enjoyed the trial
immensely

Better Addresses Needed.

Quite a considerable inconveni-
ence is being experienced in the
postoffice by the clerks with letters
that are not properly addressed.
Some of these have only the name
while others have both the name
of the person and the town; 9th
ers again Just have the name of
the town. This causes the en-
ployes some little trout BILE, as it me-
cessitates the loss of time in look
ing up the guide. In a postotfice
there is no time to be lost in this
manner.
Another point which is Great
ing good deal of comment is the
crowding in of children at the gen.
eral delivery window. Business
men have no time to wait for a
half dozen or dozen children to
crowd in at the window before
their turn. For some considera BILE
time past this inconvenience has
been existing and parents should
instruct their little ones to form
in line with the others and take
their turn, and the good it will do
will be appreciated by every ybody
especially those who are about to
start on a journey.

WHAT BETTFRp

When farmer plants seed in
the ground he doesn't do it because
he is going to be paid money for
planting the seed there. Neither
does he plant the seed for his
health, or because he likes to plant
seed. He expects results, and he
will get them If he does good
job of planting.
Now, what better job of plant
ing could Florence merchants and
other advertisers do than to plant
little something in THE TRIB-
UNE's Twentieth Century Souvenir
-sthat handsome special edition
that is bound to bloom forth so
richly in advertising results?

THE WISE WORD.

II do not expect great direct
benefits from this write-up," said a
business man who signed a con-
tract today for large space in the
Twentieth Century edition of The
TRIBUNE, because my patronage
is not of local character. But |
expect large indirect benefits, for
the edition will go to all parts of
the country and will advertise
Florence as it was never advertised
before"
And them" he continued, 81
consider it my duty as citizen to
contribute my share to a venture
that is going to mean so much to
our town"
That is wisdom.

High School Notes.

School was dismissed on Thurs
day afternoon in order that the
teachers and pupils might attend
the funeral of Alfred Randall.
The High school made floral

philosophy accounts for. No theory
of instinct-sometimes defined as a
faculty prior to experience and indie,
pendent reason-will explain some &C.
tons of a clever dog whose case is
reported by a correspondent of the
London Spectator:
| knew a dog in Ireland-a retriever
who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish In his mouth, to be
filled at the late dinner. For some
reason his master wished to make a
change and to feed him twice a day
instead of once.
The dog resented this, and, when told
to bring the dish, refused, and 1t could
nowhere be found, on which his master
spoke angrily to him and ordered him
to bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepsh ex,
preston he went down the length OF
the garden and began scratching VI
the soil. where he had buried the bow
deep down to avoid having to bring il
at an hour of which he did not ap

Of departed comrades were profusely

service. This duty performed all wended
their way to the opera hall where APP

which included the reading of the gen
eral orders of the day, selection by the
choir and prayer by Rev. Thos. Hall,
Comrade ID. \. Robinson was next intro
duced and delivered brief memorial
address to the memory of the late Capt
Currier and Adjt. Hall. (The ,publica-

Were tenting tonight Oh the old camp
ground the choir taking up the refrain,
after which 5. NJ. Harmon introduced
the orator of the day. Lieutenant-Gover-
nor Bates, who was accorded most
hearty greeting. He spoke briefly Of the
pleasure it gave him to come to Island
Pond especially on such days as this and
to see the exercises carried out so nicely.
His address was one of the best we have
listened to for "A long time, and out of
the ordinary style. Our space will not
permit even Il brief review, but through
out it was a thoughtful Grafton, and the
close attention accorded the speaker and
the outburst of applause showed unmis
takably the interest of his hearers, even
! if they were not all inclined to endorse
his views on expansion. The singing OF
America, and the benediction brought
the proceedings to a close, when the
veterans and friends adjourned for din
ner, some to Grand Army Hall 10y invi
tation of the Ladies If the G. A. R.,ano

sad, yet glorious annal in the moderl
calendar of patriotism, with its wealth
of hallowed recollections and tender low
ing memories, has come and gone.
