LFrom the Atchison GIobe.1
It is a great bore to receive beau
tiful' letter.
We don't suppose the man ever lived
who was as popular with the women as
chocolates are.
When a man engages in politics. he
will wrong a friend as quickly as a
man who is trying to sell stock in
mine.
There is some complaint expressed
that conversation has become a lost
art. There should be no regret; the
people talk too much.
The farmers, having nothing else to
complain about, are complaining be-
cause they are now eating up what
they raised last summer.
A great many tragedies have resulted
'fatherly'' advice, when the men were
not old enough to be fatherly.
1t was lately said of a certain Atchi-
son girl that she Joined certain Atchi-
son church to get married. 1t turns
out that her real purpose was to get a
Job.
Some one writes to ask what Is a
masterpiece. We can think of nothing
j
masterpiece except a sixteen-year-old
girl.
When you call either a lawyer or a
doctor, it is sign that you are in
trouble; a trouble that might have
been avoided in ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred.
One of the advantages of joining a
Don't Worry club is that the members
don't hunt up other people to relate a
string of troubles. The condolences
poured out in a moment of worry and
distress result in half the mischief
caused in the world A Don't Worry
member doesn't worry, and conse-
quently doesn't find herself pouring out
things which should be kept secret.
The people are too much given to heart
to heart talk anyway; il the Dom
Worry club aceomplishes nothing more
than the adjustment of SO much
secret telling, it will have earned the
right to an honorable existence.

The Summer Time Table.

The change of time along all the divisions
of the Boston & Maine takes effect on
Monday, June .25, and there will be a
radical change this coming season in the
running time of the "air line" trains.
The time between Montreal and Boston
will be shortened one hour, and by con-
nections at Wells River there will be
through service on both the day and night
trains between Montreal and Springfield.
Both OF these improvements to the SER
vice will be greatly appreciated by the
travelling public, and the night air line"
will have through sleeper from Mont
real to Spring6e Ia, via Newport. The
night express will arrive at St. Johnsbury
at 8 05 a. m, or 45 minutes later, and
the night mail, which will connect with
the Boston train at Wells River, reaches
here seven minutes later than at present,
or 322 a. m. Going south the night
mail leaves St. Johnsbury at 1854 and
and the air line" at / 1.15 a. m.
The general public will notice the
changes on the day trains to a greater
extent, but here there is to be little
change except on the "air line" The
train from Montreal will leave here at
2 222 p. m. and the train from Boston will
arrive here at 8. 55 p. M, connecting at
Wells River with the mail train from
Springfield. The afternoon express trains
will meet at Woodsville, instead of Bar
net. After June 25 passengers will not
have to leave Boston until 10 a. m. and
the Montreal express will arrive in
Boston before s o'clock in the evening.

Self-DeniaI Week.

The annual week of Self-denial is one of
the many original ideas which the Sal
walton Army has put in energetic and
successful motion for advancing the
cause of Christianity.
The scheme has two objects: First, it
is to the forces OF the Salvation Army
and to such of their sympathizers and
supporters as may feel disposed to
unite with them, week for special de-
votion, prayer and spiritual develop
ment, and has to them a very similar
significance as has Lent Week to the
Catholic and Episcopalian bodies.
Second, all the forces unite in su-
preme effort to raise, by means of volun.
tary acts of sel-denial, money for the
maintenance and extension of Salvation
Army operations at home and its vast
Foreign Missionary enterprises in India
China, Africa, Japan, Java, etc.
The dates Of the coming effort ar,
from May 9th to June 2nd, previous tt
and during which time citizens will b.
asked to respond to the call OF some o
the energetic members OF the local corps
for feeding the hungry, housing tn
homeless, caring for the orphans, savin
the drunkard and gathering into tn
fold, the outcast and morally lost.

A Former St. J0hnsbury Boy.

The friends of E. 6. Hovey who has
been for the past ten years in the First
National Bank at Chattanooga will be
sorry to learn that on account of ill
health he has been obliged to give up his
position there. The following pleasant
words are taken from the Chattanooga
Times:
"E. G. Hovey, who for the past ten
years has been connected with the First
National bank in responsible capacity,
has rendered his resignation to President
Montague. Mr.. Hovey retires from the
bank on account of i'll health and the
officers of that institution regret exceed
ingly to part with the services of this
faithful and valuable employee. For
some time past Mr. Hovey has been af-
flicted with hay fever and together with
a severe attack of asthma of which he
has been unable to rid himself has so de-
bilitated him that the rest and recrea-
tlon has become necessary. He will
spend the next two or three months on
Walden's ridge and if that does no good
will spend year or so in Idaho.

Death of George B. BatcheTder.

George B. Batchelder, who died at his
home in Summerville, Friday, was born
in the town of Ryegate, Dec. 15, 1847,
at the age of SO years. He was of dis
tinguished parantage, his father, Ma
thaniel Batchelder, being direct descen-
dant of Rev. Stephen Batchelder, who
settled in Newbury, now Lynn, Mass,
about 1880 and later, for many years in
Hampton, N. H., and whom history re.
cords as a man of marked ability and
great influence as preacher and citizen !;
and his mother, Jean Stewart Nelson, be-
ing a blood relative of the House of the
Stewards" Mr.. Batchelder's early life
was spent on farm in Barnet or that
vicinity. He was an Industrious, sober
minded young man and then as through
all his life formed many and strong
friendships with those with whom he
was called to associate. He was a man
of more than ordinary intelligence, in-
herlting many of the characteristics of
his famous ancestry, and who il he had
had the advantages of the best schools
would have shone brightly in any pro-
fession or position of life. In his early
manhood he united with the Congrega-
tional church in the town of Barnet. He
remained an esteemed and useful member
of that church till he removed to this
town about 20 years ago. Soon after
coming here he identified himself with the
Baptist church and on February "a,
1884, together with his wife was bap-
tised into the fellowship of this church.
He held and filled with marked efficiency
many Offices in the church and Bible
school, serving at different times as
deacon. Sunday school superintendent
and choir leader. He was also an active
worker i'll the ranks of the Y. M. c. A. in
the time OF it's prosperity. For many
years he was employed in the scale
works in this town and there as else
where was much esteemed for his jovial
nature and unselhsh spirit. In his family
Mr.. Batchelder was a model husband
and father, always willing % make large
sacrifices Tor the comfort and welfare OF
his wife and children whose companion
ship he sought and enjoyed to the last.
In his long and wearying illness he mani
tested great tortitude, cheertulness and
patience, and has left behind him a
blessed heritage for his family-a good
name, Cody example and fragrant
memory.
In 1870 he was married to Sylvia D.
Tiden, of Barnet, who with three daugh-
ters and one son survive him. Truly the
lite, character aud death of Mr.. Batche-
der naturally suggests the words Of
Israel's singing king, MARK the perfect
man and behold the upright, for the end
Of that man is peace" The funeral was
held Sunday, conducted by Rev. A. c.
Hussey.
