Traditions of the ouakers.

This part of the town is full of old
traditions of the original Quakers, who
went there from Dover and Kittery
more than 100 years ago. Descendants
of most of these families still live in
the town, prominent among them be-
ing the Meeders, the Beedes Serb
ners, Gilmans, Hoags and Folsoms.
The latter family, if at all connected
with that of Mrs. Cleveland's mother,
is very far removed.
The Quakers of those early days
were very set in their ways, and wore
the quaint costumes that are still to
be found in the closets and boxes of
the families of to-day. On occasions
the younger folks disregard the mod
ern method of dressing the hair, part
it simply in the middle, and, dressed
in the hoods, pokes and shawls their
grandmothers, and perhaps great
grandmOthers, wore, bring back old
days in Sandwich, when the Quakers
in a large measure set themselves
apart from the rest of the community.
They held their first monthly meeting
there in 1900, and the church grew in
numbers to about 200, this growth
continuing until about 1855, when
about eighty families moved to Iowa
and the community received blow
from which it never fully recovered.
In those days the Friends religious
ly refrained from indulging in any
expensive Injuries. The little organ
H.
shocked the original pew-holders. They
refrained even from placing tomb
stones over their dead in the little
graveyard which by means of fence
they set apart from that in which
other townspopele were buried. For
many years the graves were marked
in thu simplest manner, then some of
the holder and more liberal of the
Friends erected small stones. Finally
the fence which divided the dead of
the Quakers from those of the rest of
the town came down. AS they separ.
ated the dead, SO did they endeavor to
keep the living apart. A Quaker or
Quakeress who married outside the
church was disowned by other men,
bers of the family, but for many years
there has been considerable marrying
with townspeople of other religious be-
liefs.
While many of the old rules have
lost their rigidness, the Quakers with
whom the Cleveland family associate
during the summer months are of the
same sturdy religious stock, believing
in and practicing simplicity, keeping
within their circumstances, and so
truthful that everywhere in the coun-
ty the word of a Quaker is regarded as
good as his bond.

mingling with their modest Quaker
neighbors, and even attending the
Friends meeting house on Sunday.
Mrs. Cleveland was a regular attend
ant there last summer, and only on
one or two occasions went elsewhere.
The few guests the Clevelands had
last summer were housed by their
Quaker friends. The Boyden farm
house is not large enough to admit Of
much entertaining. There is hardly
more than enough room in 1t to &C
commodate the ex-president's family
and servants. Last summer there was
so much crowding that extra provision
had to be made for the help this year
When the family had visitors who

Schiller, as he peered into the help

Huntington muttered something,
but it was unintelligible on account of
the gag in his mouth.
AS IL the mere thought of being in
his enemy's power was not enough to
distract the bound and helpless Vic
tim, Schiller added: ''And soon your
lovely Pearl will join you in your i'm
prisonment!'
Huntington struggled fiercely. His
eyes sparkled the very defiance whiAh
was pent up in his soul. His daugh-

wormwood to the bound man. "And

all his own way. His brutality went

presence of Sharkey, who was acting

Pearson, who now entered from the
front door. Although these two were
convicts, they were lovers of fair
play.

families in the neighborhood, and one
of the most popular places was the
home of Mrs. Susan Meeder, now the
Oldest Quakeress in Sandwich.
The Meeders have a farm not far
from that occupied by the Clevelands,
and during the summer months the
former presidents family enjoyed
more freedom there than anywhere
else. The children romped in the
fields and in the hay and made friends
with every member of the family.
When the Meeders were unable to
take care of all the Cleveland guests
other Quaker homes were pressed int

Toilers.

Here digs the sod, with hanging head,
One curst of God to toll for bread.
The whelp of toll, the wolf OF want,
Aye, snap his heel, grim hungry, gaunt.
Against his dim, dull, weary eyes,
The Sword Of Flame shuts Paradise.
With sweaty brow, rough, grimy hand,
He drives the pillow, he tills the land.
He's forth by dawn; his labors close
When light draws on, brings rest, repose.
He struggles on through heat of day.
Till parting sun filings level ray.
He digs till dark the stubborn earth,
And deems his work of little worth.
In mind appears tall spires of domes,
Where riches rear fair, stately homes.
In proud parade before him rise
The marts of trade, rare merchandise.
Unnoticed lone, he tolls along,
Yet yearns to join the swarming throng.
Here's one that's born decreed to live
An atom in a humon hive,
His labors yield no fruit, seem vain.
He reaps no field of ripened grain.
No vital seed in fertile earth
He sows the breed in fruitful birth.
Unwonted dreams, strange visions rise,
OF wandering streams, soft, balmy skies.
These walls are woods, those roofs
the vale,
While peaceful birds browse yonder dale.
Begirt by wall of brick and stone,
Till last Fate's he drudges on.
When all is DER their lonely cry
Is, God, how poor, how curst am I.
Yet each has served his fellow men,
Their last reward will be well done.

her wrinkled face and the hot

singing: We'll work till Jesus

gineers are known to be in the field

only a matter of a very few days.
A telegram was received by
Martin Besteiro from Capt. Peter
son, who has been with the Manteo
some time. stating that he would
leave Galveston for Brownsville to-
day TO put the schooner Olga in
commission between Point Isabel
and Galveston, and requesting a
return cargo. The Olga has been
tied up in the Rio Grande here for
the past few months. The Manteo
has been withdrawn from the ser
vice during the yellow fever cpl
demic at New Orleans, and it is
not known when she will resume
her voyages between New Orleans,
Galveston and Point Isabel.
Among the outgoing passengers
this morning was Father II. Con-
stantineau, Provincial o. NJ. /. of
St. Mary's church, San Antonio,
who arrived in the city last Mon
day. The object OF Father Con-
tantineau' visit to Brownsville was
in connection with St. Joseph s
college, which is soon to be trans
ferred to a teaching order. Owing
to the fact that the new teachers
could not come down in time for
opening the college at the regular
session, the opening has been post
poned until january. The college
will be opened with at least FIVE or
six teachers, and others will ell
gage in the work as the necessity
requires. No pains will be spared
to make the college a frst-class
institution of learning in every
respect, and considerable improve
ments are in contemplation, one of
which will be the addition of
another wing to the building. 1t
is expected an increased attendance
will be a result of the change, and
quite likely there will be number
of boarding pupils, several applica-
tons having already been received
for the admission of pupils from a
distance.
