Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Three bright girls and a Farmer
how ioin us this week. We are glad
70 have them with us, and you will
enjoy their letters. Don't forget to
sign YOUR real names when you write
to me.
To-day is so springlike and balmy
that / long to be out In the garden
or among the flowers in the yard,
Int alasl the flowers have not shown
their pretty heads and the seeds must
he put into the ground in the gar
den. l hope that each of you will
have more flowers and finer vegeta-
blcs than you have ever had; but this
will be impossible unless you prepare
for them.
You do not realize the advantages
YOU have in the country over us who
live in towns and cities. Why, only
to-day a neighbor set fire to a pile
of trash in her garden not dreaming
that she was interfering with any
one. but in a few minutes several
heads appeared above the enclosure
and she saw (what she had not be-
fore noticed a line of beautifully
white clothes just beyond the fence.
She was surprisedand sorry. but that
did not prevent smoke and cinders
from soiling the clothes. Elbow Don
is very essential to the happiness
of some persons. and this you always
have in the country.
Get your plans ready for a pretty
flower yard. There is nothing which
adds to the beauty of a home quite
so much as flowers, unless it be a
beautiful grassy lawn. Both of these
you can have if you try. Make your
home surroundings so pretty that
you will feel proud and be assured
hat others will appreciate your eff
forts. There are so many ugly cor
ners that can be made attractive, and
sometimes picturesque and beautiful
by the planting of q vine or flowers
just where they. will do most to beau
tifv the scene. Nature has shown
you how best to use her vines when
she covers old stumps and trees with
their DELEGATE tendrils In living gems.
That old fence or clubhouse can be
beautitied In the same way. So
many men object to flowers, say they
are usless and oftentimes fill space
that if used for other things would
"pay better" What does he mean
by pay better-simply cold cash?
Does he care more for money than
for the encouragement of finer sem
sibilities in the home circle? Let
the women have their flowers. and
then they will be happier. And the
good influence will also be felt by the
young people and every member of
the family.

Nellie's and Search Wards Letters.

NeIie's and Search Wards Letters.
Dear Aunt Jennie:-For a long
time | have been hiding in a dusky
corner listening at the delightful
talks from all of you, but have been
too timid to venture out where you
could see me, for fear / might get
frightened and run, and that would
never do you know if / am to pre-
tend to be digniied for once in my
life.
/ enjoyed "Nellie's" letter some
time ago. All she said was only too
true.
Give me kind words and bright
smiles while living. What do [ care
for all the good and noble things
said of me when I am dead, when
during the hardest and saddest part
of my life not one word of comfort
or praise was given me? No one took
any pains then to find out if / were
honest, noble" and all such good
things. Sing my praies while / am
living or not at all. Here is a little
poem that expresses what [ am try
ll1S III say. L UI1l1h IL III {.
Wait not my friends until [ am gone
To praise and call me dear,
And chant in glowing terms my
worth.
But tell melville Pm here.
Wait not for death, and then my
grave,
Bestow with flowers 'oer,
And speak sweet words while tear
drops fall,
IT'S now | need them more.
I would more prize a tear, a flower,
A handclasp warm and true,
From one | know to be my friend,
Tho friends be far and few.
One look in eyes hat speak of faith,
One little sweet word said,
Than lavish praise and pomp and
show,
When / am lying dead.
When I shall drop this vesture old,
And from life's cares be free,
The. spot on earth where / am laid,
Will nothing be to me.
And tho you plan there choicest
flowers,
And tend them with wet eyes,
Twill touch me not-In be not
there,
Or hear your deepest signs.
Then if you love me-tell me now,
One little word will do
Wait not and say it by my tomb,
When / am gone from you.
What a nice letter "Search Ward"
gave us last week! [ think it would
be a good thing if more of us would
make the same resolution; for a
cheerful word Or bright smile helps
lot through the day. So "Search
Ward" [ hope you may continue to
and that you may find no cloud
too dark for you to find the silver
And now / will run back to
my dusky corner until [ feel brave
enough to peep out again.

In view Of the fact that the purpose
OF the federation was for unity Of &C.
ton and effort, the exclusion OF three
Unitarians, and consequently Unitarian
ism, from the inter-church conference il
peculiar. At the outset the purpose OF
the federation is apparently denied. The
ground for the exclusion OF the delegates,
Edward Everett Hale, John D. Long,
former secretary of the navy, and Rev.
Samuel Eliot, son Of the president Of
Harvard university, is that the Unfair
ian denomination is not of the same
Christian essence with the others, in
short, that their spiritual side is not
sufficiently developed to compare with
their brethren Of the other religions.
1t is undoubtedly true that Unitarianism
does not embrace all that some other
denominations have in their creeds, but
that fact does not preclude the POSSIBLE
ity for workers in the former church
from doing much good in the world. To
quote the words Of DR. Eliot: @The Uni
tarians are ready to cooperate in all
good causes and are only sorry that the
men of the other Christian communions
deny to them the chance Of helpfulness.o
Will the others actually shut the door in
their faces when they apply for chance
to further the work

CAUGHT WITH PLUMBER.
Nashua, N. H., Thief Arrested in Boston
Yesterday.

Nashua, y. IT,, Oct. 16.--Police In
spector Edward Field yesterday brought
from Boston man who gives the name
Of George W. Davis, arrested for the
burglaries of the Boston and Maine rail
road stations at Merrimack and Thorn
tons Ferry.
He was caught in the act of selling
stolen tickets at pawn shop on Court
street, Boston. He had previously dis
posed Of some Of the plumber. He re-
moved the dating stamp from the Office
of the Merrimack station, so that he
could stamp the tickets and make them
look all right. Had he not been nabbed
the railroad might have been out over
81 600, as Davis took at least 5000 tic
kets. Many of them were local, along
the line of the southern division, con-
sisting Of such tickets as the offices usu-
ally have in steady demand. Among
the missing goods. were many books Of
tickets prepared for filing out from eth,
er Thornton's Ferry on Merrimack, Il
any station on the whole system wherev.
er passenger might wish to travel.
Most of the this plumber was found
yesterday afternoon on the Wilson farm
so called, on the Concord road in Mer
rimack, now owned BY a Nashua fruit
dealer. There was a knapsack and {
satchel filed with tickets, some loose
just as they had been swept from thu
classified cabinet in which they are ar
ranged for the convenience Of the sell
er, and others in packs Of 100 or 200
just as they came from the printers.

MAY BE IN RUTLAND.
Florence Granfeld Hunt in Burlington
Until Recently.

Burlington, Oct 16.-AIrs. Florence
Granfeld Hunt, 21 years of age, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Grandeld Of
Berlin, who is reported as being missing
from her home since last April and for
whom her parents entertained fears, has
been employed as a dining room girl in
the Van Ness House in this city. 1t is
thought that she is now at work at the
Bardwell House in Rutland. At least
she was in the employ of that hotel
when the last base ball game was played
in the Marble City.
Mrs. Hunt came to this city in June.
She stated at the time that she had left
home a short time previous and had Just
come from the Pavilion Hotel in Mont
pelier. Her actions were peculiar. She
remained at the Van Ness House about
six weeks, when she left, taking, it is
claimed, several articles which were the
property OF the other girls in the hotel.
These articles, with the exception of q
sum OF money, were later recovered.
From this city she went to Plattsburg,
where she was employed in the Cunlber-
land House; from there she went to
Gloversyille, n. u, and was employed in
a hotel; from that place she went to
Rutland, where it is believed that she is
now employed. 1t is an easy matter to
trace the girl as she does not try to con-
ceal her identity, and always leaves her
forwarding address. While in this city
She was in regular correspondence with
sister. Her husband, whom it is be-
lieved it now in Oklahoma, was in this
city, while Mrs, Hunt was here.

for the past two days there was nc

The accident occurred in this city on
Walnut street on Sunday afternoon, the
automobile in which Senator Fulford
was riding with VIM. II Hanson 81
Schenectady, n. r., coming in collision
with an electric car. The entire party

It is said that the tremendous sale Of
certain essences and extracts in prohibi-
ton communities has caused Internal
Revenue Commissioner Yerkes to follow
up recent order for druggists to take
out federal license by ordering all
dealers in the extracts and essences
to take out special licenses. Failure to
take out the license, so Mi. Yerles says,
viii lay them liable to prosecution. In
the old days Of prohibition in Vermont
these two formed teddy for inebriates
when they couldn't get anything else,
and the same may be true in those COM
mnnities which have decreed no-license.
The Internal Revenue Bureau is inform
ed that in some communities the sale Of
the stuff in one day was enough to flavor
all the pies and cakes which would be
made in five years.

IMPRISONED IN MINE.
Six Coal Miners Shut OFF from Escape
by Fire.


Frederictown, Pa, Oct. 16.-Half a
mile from the entry six miners are inn
prisoned perhaps dead-in the mine Of
the Clyde Coal company. The mine IS
on fire, and the belief is general that
the entombed men cannot be reached in
time to save their lives, even if they are
not already dead. Two others were SER
iously burned in an explosion in the
fan house following the breaking out
of the fire in the mine, one of them 50
fearfully that he will not live.
The imprisoned men are: George KEEL
ley, Homer Harvey, Richard Marsh,
Richard Moffy, Bonsi Lorenzo, Cesto
Benardini.
Nearly 200 men were in the mine when
the fire started. It's exact origin is not
known, but it is supposed it was caused
by wire becoming short circuited and
| igniting the brattice cloths which serve
to create drafts by means Of which
the mine is kept free from foul air..
/, All but the six men named escaped.
