A Popular Parson.

The next preacher for Barre Metho-
dists was the Rev. Peter Merrill, then
in the zenith of his power and influence.
Mr. Merrill had large congregations,
was generally well liked, and every
thing moved on easily and satisfactory
~. True, there was no special revival,
but all interests of the church prosper
ed. Mr.. Merrill diligently cultivated
the men of the community, was deeply
interested in politics, always attended
the town meetings and the school meet
ings, wrote for the county papers upon
questions Of general Importance, was
all important questions, and it always
made his presence felt throughout the
entire community. Although the mem
bership slightly decreased during his
pastorate he was generally considered a
strong man, and all were sorry to have
him leave. He was man who never
hesitated to speak his mind publicly on
all important questions, and it always
hit out straight from the shoulder. Mr..
Merrill is still living, being now in his
s5th year.
A Pastor Dies in Parsonage.
Mr.. Merrill was succeeded by the
Rev j. NJ. Puffer who did not serve
through the first year Being taken i'll
after a few months he fingered for some
time, and finally sank to rest. But he
remained long enough to win him the
people Of the entire parish, who were
attracted by his blameless life and his
earnest devotion TO his work.
A Strange Mixture
Next year the Conference appointee
was the Rev. Walter Underwood d

! best loved and the most hated of any
preacher in series of years. He re
! NAMED but one year with the parish

and a large number of names were plac

pie taken in are earnest Christians to
day, but large proportion Of then
were evidently more thoroughly con
verted to the pastor than to the Lord
and they soon lost whatever little inter
est they ever had. Afr. Underwood LEFT

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
Hyomei. the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure
Prescribed by Physicians.

No one should confound Hyomei
with the patent medicines that are ad
vertiscd to cure catarrh. 1t is as far
superior to them all as the diamond is
more valuable than cheap glass. Their
composition is secret. but Hyomei gives
its formula to all reputable physicians
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus
OIL. famous for its antiseptic qualities.
This is combined with aromatic and
healing gums and balsams. making a
PURE liquid. which when used in the
Hyomei pocket inhaler. fills the air you
breathe With killing. disease de-
stroying and healing powers that kills
all catarrhal germs there may be i'll the
throat, nose and lungs.
How foolish it is to try and cure ca
tarrh by swallowing tablets or liquids.
The only natural way to cure this di-
sease and all other diseases of the re-
spiratory organs is to breathe Hyomei.
This treatment has been 50 success
full, curing 30 per cent. of all who have
used it. that Hyomei is now sold by
EOWdltch Il Webster. and Percy W.
Means under an absolute guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
You run no risk whatever in buying
Hyomei. If i, did not possess unusual
powers to cure. it could not be sold
upon this plan.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.00 and comprises an inhaler a bottle
of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler
will last a lifetime: and additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for 20
cents 1416,1S

it. for she had kept him either continu ally in her arms or at the end of his chain whenever outside the walls of their own room. But Blihklets had learned to know what a farm was like. He loved to hear the big funny, two-legged things called turkey gobblers gobbie; the same sort of feathered things. on a smaller scale, called roosters, crow. And how he did enjoy watching the fat, white ducks in the pond, floating about on the blue water for all the world like fleecy clouds Hl the azure sky.
 As Blinklets sat on his new masters lap, happier than he had ever been In all his life before, he began to watch the changing landscape that seemed to run past them on either side the road. Here went on one side great orchards, still bare of branch, but full of promise of rosy fruit in season later, while on the other side flew broad wheat fields, green ns a city lawn, that whispered of golden grain the summer Then came and hurried past rambling old farm houses, where lived healthy, happy, busy folk; next there were pastures full of sleek milk cows, with open-eyed, wondering little calves, and frisking colts; and on they came-barn- yards full of noisy inhabitants that cried: 'sGobbie," "Quack," "Cackle-cackle." And then the wagon rattled down hill, over n bridge that spanned q brook, where fishes, with their brilliant-colored scales, swan like water fairies through the ripples that danced in the bright spring sunshine. And up the hill on the other side the old horses trotted into a stretch darted hither and thither as if playing at hide and seek with the occupants of the wagon. And over their heads fitted the birds, already arrived from the Southland, getting ready to build their nests. Then into the open again, down long lane be tween thick hedgerows, round a sharp turn, through a big wagon gate, and there they were in the barnyard at home!

and made no reply, but in his heart he wished that be might be stolen by small nuisance.
 Suddenly, there was an awful coumo- tion in the street People surged back ward on the pavement, and in doing so pressed against Blinklets' chain and caused the old lady to lose 1t from her hand Two automobiles had collided at the corner and several persons were hurt
 In the first moment of excitement Blink lets heard his mistress voice calling to him. She had been separated from her pet by the rushing crowd, and thus had lost sight of him. .Blindel Bllnkiel" she called; but instead of following the sound of his mistress voice B1inklets ran In an opposite direction as fast as his four little feet would allow. Down side street he went, his chain rattTing on the stone pave ment behind him. No one seemed to .no- tice the puppy, TOT everypody was hurry ing to the scene of accident. AS Bfinklets ran straight ahead he was surprised to meet so few people and to see that the houses became fewer in number and at greater distances apart.
 After sometime he came to great open space, occupied only by show bills and slgnboards. Two roads ran of through this space, one toward a closely built suburb on the opposite side of railroad cut and the other in the direction of
