There is a unique watering
trough in the town of Nor,hboro
which attracts much attention from
strangers tits an inverted church
bell of large size, which formerly
hung in the belfry Of the Baptist
Church.
Many years ago a slight crack
appeared in the bell, and although
it was hardly over az inch long, it
resulted in seriously iujuring the
tone. A hole was bored in the
metal at one end of the crack in
order to prevent the latter from
growing any larger, and for a time
the bell continued TO call the good
people of the town to worship.
after several years more, how
ever, the church members decided
that they had listened to the crack
ed voice of the old bell long enough.
and accordingly it was removed,
being replaced by another.
The people felt a good deal of
affection for the bell, however, and
it was decided not to sell it, but to
use it for a drinking trough for
horses.
Some ten years ago it was placed
in position in little square at the
cross roads, a short distance from
the center of the town cn the way
to Westboro. 1t added a very
picturesque touch to the land
scape.
Later. when the electric road
from Northboro 10 Westboro was
put in. it was found necessary to
change the position of the old bell,
which was moved TO one side OF
the highway. 1t was then partly
walled up, so that it does not now
present so attractive an appearance
as formerly. II is fed by town
water and is a favorite place for
hard-driveu horses to quench their
thirst. Boston Globe.

THE HERALD'S BLRTHDAY.


With this issue THE DAILY HER
AID completes Its thirteenth year
in Brownsville. For this length OF
time THE HERALD has labored in
cessantly for the upbuild;ng and
advancement of Brownsville and
this section generally, and has al
ways been found advocating meas
ures that are calculated for the bet
terment of the city and her people.
While the paper has received a fair
share of patronage, for which it
returns due thanks, the manage
ment feels that the patronage has
not been commensurate with the
work done in the furtherance of the
many advantages of this section,
yet no complaint is made on that
score and in future, as in the past,
this paper will ever be found doing
all that can consistently be done
for the county with which it has
been identified for more than a
dozen years. As to our seccess
along the lines mentioned, our
friends may be the judge. That
the paper has agtagonized some in
terest, while advocating measures
which is considered to be for best
interest OF this section this antag-
onism is but added proof OF the
effectiveness OF our work, and Is a
source of more Joy than regret.
To the friends who have stood by
us, hearty thanks are hereby eN-
tended, and to those who have not
seen fit to give THE HERALD either
moral or financial support, let the
broad mantle of charity cover the
whose ever fault, it is. THE HER
AID will always be found doing
what'it conceives to be for the best
interests of the Brownsville sec
ton and her people. Here goes
for thirteen years more OF hard
work.

has joined with County Attorney Hun
gate in suppressing them.
The awakened public sentiment is
demanding a more vigorous enforce
ment of the law all over the state.
and there is a suspicion that the action
Of the Iaw-breakers IN trying to run
saloons in Topeka may react on those
Of Leavenworth. Wichita Kansas City,
Kan, and other saloon towns. Gov
ernor Hoch is quite likely to take
hand in the enforcement Of prohibi-
ton in those places.
Following close on the action Of
County Attorney Hungate came a
bunch Of supreme court decisions on
Saturday, evey one of which upheld
the prohibitory law, and ordinances
passed to support it. sending a number
Of law-breakers to Jail. One of these
decisions places a more powerful club
than ever in the hands of city authOri-
ties-the search and seizure power. It
is more powerful than formerly for it
is now backed up by the supreme
court
On Sunday law enforcement received
a new impetus by the action Of the
temperance people in the churches.
They have indicated their desire to up
hold the public officials without de-
manding impossible things. The utter
anees of DR.. w. c. Evans of the First
M. e. church, and Rev. DR.. Estey Of
the First Presbyterian, were especially
commendable. DR.. Evans urges the
public not to condemn officials until
they act and not to expect them to go
further than public sentiment will up
hold them. He also urges Iaw-abiding
people to personally commend officials
who do their duty.
Present appearances indicate that
the liquor element, in trying to over
ride the law in Topeka, has probably
overstepped itself and has aroused a
sentiment that will demand, not only
the more vigorous enforcement Of the
prohibitory law in Topeka, but also all
over Kansas. That is quite often the
way such things work. Truly, the way
of the 5ointist, like that Of other trans
gressor. is hardin law-abiding
community.
