Lesson Of Life That Most Impressed
the Late Senator Hoar.
In his autobiography that good old
man, Senator Hoar. who went to his
rest few months ago, said:
"The lesson which | have learned
In life, which is impressed on me
daily, and more deeply as I grow old.
is the lesson of Good VIII and Good
Hope. believe that to-day is better
than yesterday, and that tomorrow
will be better than to-day. l believe
that, In spite Of so many errors and
wrongs, and even crimes, my country
men, of ali classes. desire what Is
good and not what is evil"
These are golden words and they
ought to be preserved by every man
and woman who wants to keep on the
bright side Of life and to get the most
out OF the work.

DRAWBACK TO THE ENJOYMENT,
Why "Artemus Ward" Preferred Not
to Lecture In Churches,

In the early sixties of the last cen.
tury "Artemus Ward" delivered one OF
his humorous lectures in the church at
Bradford, N. H. There was a good.
sized audience and he exerted all his
powers to entertain them, but neither
the humor Of diction nor his quaint
manner of delivery brought forth more
than sickly smile, where he was used
to peals of laughter and round upon
round of applause.
At the close of the lecture he sat
down, utterly exhausted. First among
those who came forward to speak with
him was an old fellow, who shook him
heartily by the hand and said:
THAT was fine discourse of yours,
Mr.. Browne, and in two or three places
almost forgot | was in the meeting
house and cer'tinly thought l should
snicker."
After this incident "Artemus Ward"
would not lecture in church when
other arrangements could possibly be
made.

Holmes & Teats are painting and let
tering eight or ten head. boards for the
Masonic cemetery which will be placed
at the graves OF departed members and
their families on Decoration day. The
Masons are very attentive to their burial
grounds and as soon as head board be-
comes the least dilapidated it is replaced
with new one. They have kept com
plete record of those buried in the ceme-
terry Of late years and therefore only a
few of the graves are marked unknown"
Record of those buried in these graves
was lost in the big fire which swept the
town in 1874.
