Fate OF Old Home Week.

New Hampshire is beginning 10
speculate upon the question whether
Old Home Week is likely 10 be a per-
maneut institution or not. For the
Messengers part il prefers 20 indulge
in no uncertainty OF mind so far as
Vermont's Old Home Week is concern
ed Ii prefers TO believe that Old
Home Week will some day be dropped
from the calendar. not from lack OF ap-
probation OF its beautiful sentiment.
but because there is nobody 10 come

progressive that she will keep her
sons and daughters within her borders,
and Old Home Week as an institution
will pass with the generation.-[St,
Adams Messenger.

Badly Smith. veteran OF the hardest
fought actions of the Civil war. one OF
the most efficient OF the high command
ing officers Of the volunteer army, who
now holds the rank only OF major In
the regular army. The act Is due.
doubtless, to his resignation in 1867.
and retirement from the army for Is

turned to the army and placed on the
retired list There he has since re-
manned with the rank and pay Of major.

The course of the navy department
in the Schley inquiry has thus far been
marked by most apparent desire to
compass the disgrace OF that officer at
all hazard. 1t is well understood that
the navy bureau is intensely partisan
to Sampson, but it need not take adj
vantage of its opportunities to the ex-
tent that robs the inquiry of the ele-
ment OF fairness. Sohley requested
that the department would investigate
as TO the correctness of newspaper re-
ports which represented Admiral How
ison, member 'of the inquiry board,
as being preiudiced against Schley and
having made statements, which, if
made, should disqualify him from sit
ting on the board. The department
declines even to approach Howison on
the subject and notifies Schley that
Howison win be retained as one of his
judges unless the other two members
of the board take the responsibility OF
displacing him-which is altogether
unlikely. This is only one instance of
several that is tending to create SYM
pathy for Schley, entirely apart from
the merits of the case. This country
wants no Dreyfus business.

educational test. There are in all

There is hitch, somewhere, in Nj
Santos-Dumont's navigation of the air,
and the prospect is that we shall have
to grovel like worms awhile longer
at least until a new airship is built that
will not persist in running counter
to the navigator's desires. We have
been on the brink of the solution OF
this remarkable problem so long that
we are quite accustomed to the sensa-
ton. Every little while it is announc-
ed in some quarter, with a great blare,
that some bold inventor has achieved
the mastery Of the air. Generally, we
read the obituary of the navigator al
most contemporaneously. Ii not that,
he is warned by narrow escapes and
wisely concludes to leave the fame 10

while one OF the possibilities Of the fu-

is not in constructing a machine ca

THURSDAY, AUGUST s. 1901.

In the hurry and hustle of
every day life in the mad, eager
rush for wealth and fame, if men
would sometimes stop for a
breathing spell and take time to
look around them on the beauties
of nature, pause by the clear,
running stream or wander be-
meath the shady trees of the ver-
nal forest, inhaling the delicate
perfume that exudes from every
wild flower, and give the mind
and brain a rest; or gaze on some
mighty mountain that raises its
bold and blackened peak to
heaven and ponder on the mys-
teries of nature this world would
be a better place. If the human
race would strive only half as
earnestly after spiritual things
and the welfare of their immortal
soul as they do after wealth and
power and fleeting fame, there
would be millions of happy homes
and smiling faces where today
want and misery habitate in
wretched novels, where sin breeds
and crime is not ashamed.
The legitimate pursuit of
wealth in a sufficient quantity to
supply all of the necessities and
some of the luxuries or life is
commendsble and right, but the
boarding, grasping, miserly man
who increasingly grinds the faces
of the poor to add to his own
vast store is an emissary of the
devil. Whenever the people
awaken to the fact that there are
other things to strive for besides
wealth and power, and make an
ordinary effort to do their duty
to God and their fellow man,
this world will be veritable
Garden of Eden.

The Policy Of President Shaffer.

Having declared that the Anal
gamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers would act
within the law while on strike.
President SHAFFER's followers
thus proceed.
At Wellsville, Ohio, at 8
O'Clock Tuesday night the union
men of the place heard that the
two non-union "rollers" were
coming.
Twelve o'clock found Vice
President JOHN CHAPPELLE and
eighteen others ambushed ON the
roadside half mile from town.
The Devil of Homestead was
doubtless by their side, for any
sane man knows that if they
could have stopped the ve-
hicle with the two rollers, they
would have sent those rollers
home or stretched them in the
ditch. Later one striker said :
"Those men will get out of
town peaceably or we'll run them
out"
The right of those particular
men to stay in Wellsville and
work there, and the right of any
employer to free access to them
in order to obtain their services
are at the foundation of common
liberty and the law of the land.
Those who assail it deserve to

demnation.-N. Y. Sun.

SPLENDID PLUCK.
An Elevator Boy Saved Twenty Lives in
Twenty Minutes.

William II. Platt, an elevator
boy of Philadelphia, has earned
distinction by his bravery in the
performance of duty in time of
great peril.
On May 4, 1901, at ten min
utes past eleven in the forenoon,
he noticed a crack in the side
wall of the five-story office build
ing at Is South Broad Street,
which had been undermined by
excavations. He promptly no.
tilted the trustee of the endan-
gered property, who at once con-
suited the foreman of the gang
of excavating laborers.
"No danger" returned the
foreman.
But the trustee was not satis-
fed, and notified the chief of
the City Bureau of Building In
spection. Then, says the Phila-
delphia Press, the trustee and
the elevator boy visited each of
the tenants, twenty in number,
and warned them that the build
ing was unsafe. Five minutes
later there came crash. The
bulk window on the first floor
had fallen streetward.
"Run for your lives!" shouted
Platt, and in a second the ele-
vator was full of people.
cpl come up again for you!"
he cried, reassuringly, to those
who were left, and the car shot
downward.
Twice more he made the ascent
and brought people down. Then
just as he again started upward,
a big crash came. The building
had collapsed. The boy never
faltered. The elevator-shaft
was independent of the main
building, and he pushed the
lever to the left, and the car
shot toward the fourth floor.
Three women and a man were
there, and Platt helped them
into the elevator. Bricks and
mortar were falling about them,
and the car in its descent at ex-
press speed swayed frightfully
from side to side. AS it passed
the second story a big piece of
timber struck it with shattering
force, but glanced off. Not one
of its occupants thought to reach
the ground alive, but the car
landed with a thump in the base
ment, and they made their way
to the street, faint from excite
ment and terror, but absolutely
unhurt.
At half past eleven, just twenty
minutes after Platt had seen the
danger, the building collapsed.
In that brief period he had saved
twenty lives.

THE HAUNTED MILL.

In silent spot at the foot of a hill,
On Obion River stands haunted
mill;
The wheel is silent and fallen down
And the water lilies grow thick
around,
Where once ran the old mill road,
And wagons stopped to get their
load.
Tradition says long years ago,
This mill was owned by John Mon
roe,
Who in the heat of passion thrust
knife;
Into the heart of a faithless wife,
Dragged her to the water and
threw. her in,
Thinking no one knew of the awful
sin.
Not long ago it was my fate,
To pass this mill one night very
late;
A storm came on and against my
will,
1 sought shelter in the haunted
mill
The bats and owls which had gone
in before,
Hooted and laughed as 1 entered
the door.
1 hal scarcely entered the grusOme
place,
When a monster bat flew full in my
face;
A ghostly form before me stood,
That chilled the flow of my young
blood;
Then this phantom spirit said:
''Why are you here alone with the
dead?"
L could not speak my tongue and
mouth,
Were parched and dry as sum-
mer drouth;
The form approached and bending
near,
Whispered in my frightened ear;
1 was once the wife of John Mon
roe,
And was murdered here long years
ago.
Leave this place, go where you
will,
Come not again to the haunted
mill;
A restless spirit wanders here,
Banished from the world so dear;
By a demon with form of man,
By husbands cruel hand"
1t is needless to add that L left.
