he does every morning what thousands
Of farmers in Maine do After he has
washed out the cans in which he sets
his milk in the creamery he put them
bottom up on some stakes on the sun
ny side of his home to dry and goes off
about his work. Mr. Briggs has put
his cans on these same stakes for the
past eight years and nothing ever
came of it. Sunday morning was one
day too many. The bottom of one of
the cans was dented and as it was a
new one and very bright it acted as a
concave mirror does and reflected the
suns rays. bringing them to a focus
just as a common reading glass will
In the early morning the point where
the rays came to a focus was not near

The Summer Of the Heart,

For all the wintry flakes of frost it's
summer time somewhere
Niolets in the valleys, bird songs in the
air;
The chilly winds have only blown the
Hly'S lips apart
It's summer in the world. my dear. and
summer in the heart.
For all the gray skies glooming it's sum-
mer in the dells-
In the merry song of reapers. in the tink-
ling of the bells,
The sweet south skies are ighteninE as
with Springtime'S magic art.
But the sweetest summer. dearest, is the
summer in the heart.
Still still. the birds are singing. and still
the groves are green:
And still the roses redden and the loyal
lilies lean
Love fades not with the season; when
summer days depart;
Eden of. the heart.

MRS. EuGENE Russell.

Emma Russell, wife OF Eugene Russell
died at her home in this village Dec
9th, 1900 Her body was taken to Beld-
ing Wednesday for Interment in the
Otisco cemetery. Emma Godfrey was
born in Vergennes, Kent Co, Mich.
Aug. Sth, lS49. Shelremoved with her
husband to Luther about l3 years ago
since which time this has been their
home excepting short residence in
Grand Rapids about four years ago.
Last winter her health began TO fail
and although everything that loving
thoughtfulness and tender care could
give were hers yet the dread messen-
ger "Death" came steadily nearer.
Mrs. Russel was closely identified with
Luther Hive, L. o. 7. M. being one of
the early members OF that order. She
was always ready TO help even to the
point of sacrifice to in any way benefit
the order or any of the sisterhood and
will be greatly missed by them. AS a
friend and neighbor she will long be
remembered with loving thoughts for
her many acts of kindness. The be-
reaved husband has the deepest sym.
pathy OF the community in his loss and
while his home is left desolate throuPh
the loss Of his loved one, we feel that
we can mourn with him for we too have
lost friend Luther Observer.

JUST AN INFORMED.

Mr.. L. P. Hamilton. of Talledega
township, writes to the city editor
OF the Graphic ard says that he (the
TriteI) vas misinformed recently
when he was given report OF the
Talledega township meeting, in
which it was stated that the dele
gates to the county convention feom
that township had been instructed
TO vote TO ratify the action OF the
central committee in declaring Nc
Coy and Core the nominees. He
says the Talledega delegates i'll
come uninstrufted. II the writer re-
members correctly, he stw the origi-
nal proceedings, in black and white,
of the Talledega meeting and it
stated that the delegates were di-
rected as stated above. We do not
doubt Mr.. Hamilton's word, but on
~ publish this to show how we were
informed, whether correctly orilc0r-
rectiy, we cannot say.

DUMPED OFF 4 TRAIN.
Williams Hill Was Neither Assaulted
Nor Robbed.

Our afternoon contemporary
Tuesday contained a thrilling ard
hair raising story about William
Hill, a poor Cripple being assault
ed at Altheimer and robbed of 81.
1t now develops that Hill was
elected bodily from the Cotton Belt
excursion train by brakeman Sun
day right. A purse was made up
for this man by the excursionists,
after be had related to them a
"heart-touehing" story of his help
lessness. After receiving 81 be
"boozed up to a finish and became
SO boisterous that the brakeman
was forced to dump him, head first,
from the train.
A newspaper hop dream about
cripple being assaulted and rob
bed may be alright when you have
no other copy for the printers, but,
dear brother, there is too much
politics in Jefferson county just now
for such stuff.
