Rev. Charles W. Wolfe and wife went to Holland and Rockville, Mon- day.
 The largest Protestant church in the Orient is a Presbyterian one in Corea.
 Miss Edna O. Pierce holds 8 posi- tion as stenographer and typewriter in Providence, R. I.
 There was a pleasant social at George P. Bugbee's, near the railway station, Friday night.
 "The one sin which excited the wrath of Jesus Christ more than any other was the sin of hypocracy.' The Pierce family intend to re. move to Providence, R. l., the com. ing spring, whether the residence is sold or not.
 Miss Mabel E. Clarke, in place of J. J. G. Dave, led the Y. P. S. O. E. meeting Sunday night at the Bap- tist church.
 This year eleven foot ball players were killed and 164 injured. This is falling off from records of pre- vious years, owing, it is said, to inn proved rules.
 The Holland County Savings bank has sold the late Judge Hiram Ryder place to Holt and Miller, Hartford parties. This is all we know of the transaction at present.
 "Those who decsribe this world as scene of suffering and sorrow, wheth- CT they are ultra orthodox or ultra humanitarian, seem to prefer it to any other chance in sight. ''
 There was no service at the Con- greRational church Sunday. At the Baptist church Pastor Wolfe preached from second Timothy 31 6. Subject, "Is the scripture from God?''
 We shall have no war with Japan at present, oh no. But we cannot forget the "yellow peril" the teem- ing millions of Japan and China that are ready to bounce upon us.
 Preparations are going on apace for the Christmas festival at the Bap- tist church Monday evening, the 24th inst. The dialogues, we hear, are to be an entertaining feature of the oc. casiUn.
 There will be social this evening at the Baptist conference room, the proceeds of which are to go for the expenses of the Christmas tree. All are invited. A delegation of young people from Stafford Springs is ex- pected to be present.
 "Orientals are trained to disregard pain. Hence it happens that the Chi. nese and Japanese do not feel pain to the extent that we do, and so escape many of the things that we suffer. ," This leads us to remark that physical pain affects some people more than others.
 We did not know before, until the appearance of the articles in the Gen. tury magazine relating thereto, that Jay Cooke was such an important financial aid to the government dur ing the civil war, or we had forgot ten, perhaps. Its mighty interesting reading, anyway. There are number of gruesome deodands in evidence at the Bishop trial. This leads us to say that auto mobiles, many of them, are getting to be deodands also. Both young and old lawyers know what deodand means. Other folk, if they care to, can hunt up the word in their dic- tionaries.
 The sick folk heretofore mentioned in this column are all better. We don't believe in mentioning the ill- ness of persons and not noting their condition any further. For instance, a neighboring city paper recently poke of a bank official being found on the floor of the building in Willi- mantle, insensible from a stroke of paralysis, and no mention was made the condition of the man for two weeks or more, when his funeral was noted.
