Knows "Divine Right" Doctrine.
At an exciting Republican conven-
ton at Worcester, when Gen. Butler
nearly captured the nomination for
governor, Rev. Freeman Clark took
the platform, and in great speech
against Butler enunciated a new and
novel political doctrine, since known
as the divine" right to vote.
A year or two later, on hot sum-
mer day, Mr.. Clarke and his family
were driving through Roxbury, when
the horse baked at sewer excavation
in one of the streets. No amount of
urging, including vigorous applica-
ton of the whip, could make the ami
NAL move. An ardent admirer of Gen.
Butler who was passing along, and
recognizing Mr.. Clarke, dryly re-
marked: "Parson, your horse must
understand the divine right doctrine"

Easy Way to Get Rid Of Stumps.

A method Of getting rid of stumps
which has been highly recommended,
and which to be effective should be
done now, is as follows:
Bore a hole one or two inches in d.

the center of the stump. Then put
into this hole one or two ounces of
saltpeter: Fill the hole with water
and plug it up. In the spring take out
the plug, pour in about one-half gal
lon of kerosene oil and light it, The
stump will smolder away to the very
extremities of the roots, leaving moth.
