of a very wide gown five and a half

in at the waist and gathered up so as
not to fall below the ankles Of the
men Of quality, or the townsmen, nor
below the knees Of the common peo-
pie, who have much walking and

gown puffs out at the breast, forming

Some Old Houses.

One such a place in Keene is the
old Barstow house, for years the resi-
dence of the Rev. Or. r. s. Barstow,
who, as pastor of the Congregational
church for more than half century,
was famous for his good citizenship
and strict orthodoxy, especially the
latter. On the other side of the de-
nominational fence there has always
been as strenuous a contingent of
Unitarians, so that in days gone by
Keene has always found a tonic for
its otherwise tranquil existence.
Democrat and Republican have al
ways striven for innings in their po-
litical wrangles, which must have
given zest to that old forensic union.
But the old Barstow house, now
the home of Mrs. R. S. Perkins, has
associations still farther back. in rev.
olutionary days, when it housed a
memorable contingent of the conti-
mental forces, and stone near by

over which the colonists from this
territory marched with their muskets

organized in it's early days as town,
and later there was the Forensic So
ciety and Lyceum. Then came the
Athenaeum, which was established in
1859, and merged into the free public
library in 1874. The building in
which this is located was formerly
one of the finest residences in the
town, and as it stands to-day, with its
beautiful lawns, is one of the hand

Far-Famed Flora.

There is hardly a place in New Eng
land which affords a better oppor-
tunity to study botany than Keene,
which is far-famed because of it's
fora. The birds here also are quite
as varied, but it seems at evening as
if all the song birds of the eastern
states had gathered for a love feast.
Near the river, where such revels are
usually held, they find plenty of in
sects for their suppers, and bird-lov-
ers from the town go there to watch
them. But with all it's opportunities
for studying life outdoors, it is still
the literary clubs which flourish best
in Keene.
Among the organizations for women
are the Colonial club, the Fortnightly
Tourist, Current Events, an art club
directed by Miss Bertha Jones; the
F1oebel club, which includes both
mothers and Froebel enthusiasts, and
a chapter Of the D. A. R. The latter
organization, with it's soft Indian
name, after the Ashtrelot river, is the
largest society of daughters" in the
state, and it has formed a fertile field
in this city of historical associations
and elegant colonial homes. Not only
are many of the houses fine speci-
mems of colonial architecture, but the
interiors also present numerous sug
gestions and relics of those earlier
days, while the people in this peace

when the union men began to dictate
to us in Cheyenne, he said, I'VE told them
that we would not comply with their re-
quests, and when, in effort to compel
us, they called a strike at the railroad
yards, what did we do? Did we wait for
the injunction law? Not us. We went to
strong. marched down to those yards and
told those strikers that they would have
TO step aside and let any man work who
pleased. and they stepped aside. We broke
the backbone of the strike. and since then
have had no trouble with other strikes
