EnoS Mitchell house and farm, his
present home, which carries more stock,
MIR Seeley says, than any single farm
in Washington. In succeeding years
he bought five farms on Good Hill in
Roxbury and Woodbury., the Dea Hol-
lister farm, the Smith place, the Rus
sell place, the Homer Root place, and
the Jackson place. About five years
ago he bought the Harmon Frisbie
place in Roxbury and he also owns 100
acres in Bethlehem. He therefore
pays taxes in four towns. Being driv-
en- by Western competition out of the
cattle business he turned his attention
to dairying and is to-day recognized as
the leading milk producer in Litch-
field county. He is shipping 32 or 33
or Il fat calves ready for the market
on the day of this interview. He
never has less than Is men. and some
times more than 20.
ii is marriage was blessed with two
children, one daughter, the wife Of
promising bov, who died at the age of
ii years. 1t was with evident emotion
that Mr. Seeley went over this period
in his life. On leaving home ON one
of his trips after cattle his boy was
alive. Soon he got beyond the means
of communication. and when he re-
turned to Southbury he was met by
his brother, Edwin Seeley, who told
him him he had bad news, that his son
was dead. Mr. Seeley said that he be-
lieved his brother was crazy and would
not entertain the truth. After the
funeral for weeks he remained inactive.
He refused to see the cattle he had
bought, and made up his mind to quit
life. He was finally reused from his
melancholia by the tender words of
his wife that he had others to look
after, and with mighty effort he
threw off his grief and went to work

his day. Gregory Seeley was man of
the old-fashioned type, possessing a
strong and forceful character; which
left it's impress on his children and
made them the successful men and
women they are. Benjamin Seeley
attended the district schools and later
went to +. w. Gum, one of the latter'S
earliest pupils. who left his impress SO
strong on all his pupils. Many day,
Mr. Seeley says, he has played football
all the afternoon with Mr. Gum and
other pupils. At that time there were
some As young men under Mr. Gums
instruction. Mr. Seeley left school in
the winter of 80. He taught for five
winters in Oxford, two winters in New
Milford and one season in his home
district.
About this time he went into the
droving business, handling cattle, with
n. r. Smith of Roxbury and Henry w.
Seeley of Washington. He followed
three lots of cattle on foot from the
st Lawrence country, buying and SELL
ing as he went. On the last trip, while
25O miles from home, he was taken ill
get home and after a consultation of
! five physicians was told his chances of
life were not one in 5000. After
long and tedious illness he recovered.
The following winter Mr. Seeley
taught school in Oxford and in the
spring went into partnership with H.
w. Seeley in the cattle business, which
continued for II years. About this
time he bought farm on StillSon hill,
New Milford, where he remained two
years and was engaged with A. G.
Barnes more or less in handling fat
cattle, making trips to Ohio and Penn
sylvania. One night while finishing
up their cattle business Mr. Barnes
said to Mr. Seeley: "What will you
take for your farm?" "Just slO,OOO!'
said the energetic Benjamin. 81 will
give you $4,000 if you will throw in
that pair of cattle feeding in the yard, "
said Mr. Barnes. "No, sir! not
cent less than $4,000 will l
take" said Seeley, and Mr. Barnes be-
came the purchaser. Later Mr. Barnes
sold this same farm for $4,000. On
making this sale his father insisted on
his coming to Washington and buying
out the homestead. Benjamin wanted
H. w. Seeley to buy it, but it ended
in his becoming the owner of the an
cestral acres. In 1864 he married An
ma Hunt of Ballston Springs, n. Y.
having met her while on his cattle
drives. Two years after the purchase
\ of his fathers place he bought the

Mr. Seeley's success in dealing with
the New York milk dealers has caused
him to be sent repeate dly to New
York to arr AM ge for better terms for
the farmers, and he was on this errand
on the day of this interview. Mr.
Seeley says that there is not line OF
work on his farm he does not actively
engage in, leading his men with vigor
that is surprising for one of 63 years
Personally Mr. Seeley is a social man
and on Thanksgiving occasions his
home is generally the scene of a large
gathering OF Washington and New
Milford friends. While looking tena-
ciously after his own interests. as is
perfectly right, he believes in organiza-
tion for the farmers and has labored
many hours gratuitously to promote
the interests of the milk producers
of his town. Mr. Seeley is well

HOME NEWS.
REV MR. LINSLEY AT TRINITY.
breaches HIS FINAL SERMON SUNDAY
MORNING AS RECTOR OF TRINITY.

Despite the rain, Sunday morning,
a large audience was present at Trim
ity church, to listen to the last sermon
Rev G. T. Linsley was to deliver as
rector of the church. He took his
text from Nal. 3: 6, II am the Lord;
powerful discourse. In opening, the
speaker said the text suggested the
name "JehOvah," the one distinctive
name of God, self-existent from all
eternity, no origin, no end. He was,
and Is, and Is to Come, the Almighty.
But God has also in Himself perfec-
tion. The unchangeableness of God
is revealed in the history of Israel.
Times change, but God remains un-
changed. Our conceptions of God
may change, but He changes not. In
the New Testament He is revealed as
God of Love. But He is a God of
love in the creation just as much as in
the redemption. just as much God
of Judgment in the punishment of
Cain as in the overthrow of Jerusalem.
The truth of the unchanged bleness
of God may be learned in nature. The
seasons come and go, summer and win
ter cold and heat. Then also consider
the changes in our human life. The
changes in life are so frequent, so
common, that they are thrust before
our mind unsought. The girl develops
into the woman, the boy into the man.
The changes in life are further en-
phaszed in affection and sickness, in
death and the breaking up of families
and the loss of fortunes. 1t is well
for us to be led up to that better and
higher truth, the unchangeableness
vate the way of looking through the
changing scenes of life to the un-
changeable God. 1t is well for us
when conditions change; when ad
same as before. Clouds gather some
| times and the day seems dark, but we
know the sun will some day break
through and shine. To see through
the fierce Affections of life God OF
love, this is one of the compensation!
of a true Christian life. In the mids
of the loss Of earthly friends we neet
to cling close to that friend who il
closer than brother. Our faith il
God may be SO established that W.
may be able to stand the rudest shock
to withstand the force of the hurri
cane and the angriest wave.
We must ever be growing in faith
SO that we may prepare ourselves 70
the emergencies of life. Christ di'
Gods will in suffering contempt AM
had not changed. To the sutferin
apostles God changed not.
+ The church of the living God. th
body of Christ, is larger than any pal
ish; larger than any diocese; large
than any nation. The members {
Christ's body are not members of
local parish. We must all be able t
love the church, to remember that i
certain respects the church is III
changeable in holding the faith ono
uollFoIeu W C1e SdliltS' Ill pIeScIElu
the Holy Bible.
e With God is no variaDleneSS
= shadow of turning. Let us so cling
this truth that in the changing scene
of life we may rest secure on His III
changing promises.

''Blest be the tie that binds," "Tl

Christ, Her Lord" and :'Jerusale

For the Complexion,

The complexion always suffers from
biliousness or constipation. Unless
the bowels are kept open the impure
ties from the body appear in the form
of unsightly eruptiOns. DeWitts
Little Early Risers keep the liver and
bowels in healthy condition and re-
move the cause of such troubles. G.
E. Hooper, Albany, Ga, says: 81 took
DeWitt's Little Early Risers for
biliousness. They were just what 1
needed. / am feeling better now than

Many Wonder.

Many wonder how it is that pin
worms and stomach worms get into
little children, or how tape worm
800 feet long, can get in and exist and
grow inside of a man, as it sometimes
happens. They may well wonder, for
it is great mystery. However, many
now know from experience that
Mothers Worm Syrup will rid one of
intestinal worms and greatly improve
the health after the worms have been
destroyed and expelled. 1t is abso-
lutely harmless remedy to take, and
as it only costs 25 cents, all should try
it who suspect worms to he the cause
of their ill health.

THE CONQUEROR


Being the True Romantic Story of
Alexander Hamilton. By Gertrude
Franklin Atherton. Capital Book
Store, Bismarck. $1.25.
The life of Alexander Hamilton was
romantic from beginning to end and
Mrs. Anterior. with her tropical I'M
agination has told the story of that life
with her embellishments, in a most at
tractive way. She has visited Hamil-
toms birthplace in the West Indies;
overhauled family records and turned
the lights on the romantic careers of
Hamilton's father and mother. The
career of Hamilton, after he came, a
youth, to New York, follows the his
toric record with interesting and TO
mantle diversions and reveals new in
cidents in Hamilton's political exper-
fence and his sharp differences with
Jefferson. The peculiarities of the
Fathers" are brought out, especially
those of Jefferson and Burr, who hated
Hamilton with a deadly hatred, the
blasted character of Burr after the
conspiracy trial, being emphasized. The
society recently organized to refute the
charges historically made against Burr
will have to take up Mrs. Atherton's
book and see what they can do with it.
The author declares that Burr was
"too depraved and warped to under
stand nobility in any one" and that
there were no depths of blackguardism
that he did not touch" Which is GER
tainly historically true. The society
for the defense of Burr can't very
well alter history. The story of the
duel with Burr and of Hamilton's last
hours and words and death, which
shocked the mind of Hamilton's daugh.
ter, Angelica, to- impairment, is vel
told. Mrs. Atherton has portrayed
Hamilton with great ability. 1t is g
peculiar kind of book-no less a TO
mantle than a biography, with the 70,
nance, perhaps, somewhat dominant.

Martin Erickson was instantly killed
near Fessenden by the accidental dis
charge of a shot gun. Ole Trulson,
Ole Anderson and Erickson drove out
some distance from the house
with a team and wagon, drawing a dead
horse behind for burial. Two guns
were taken along. After disposing of
the dead horse and hunting awhile one
of them handed the two guns to Mar
tin, who was in the wagon. Just as
Martin was in the act of passing one
of the guns to his companion it was
discharged, the shot striking the I'M
fortunate man squarely in the face,
just to the right of the nose, tearing
that side of the head off. Death was
instantaneous.
