 YEARS OLD.

Among other documents found by a Mrs. Minnie Davis of Canterbury in an old chest in her garret is the will of Amman Luce. Owing to the quaint wording this will is interesting to read CTS. A copy of the original form is as follows:

 Simpliied spelling after it's recent seeming death blow at Washington re- ceived a revivifcation in this city yes terday afternoon, when the Modern Language association convention vot- ed to adopt the new orthography.
 This vote is understood to cover the 300 words suggested by President Roosevelt, and is reported to have been favored by the older men of the associ- ation while the younger men constitut- ed the opposition.
 Professer Calvin Thomas presented the resolution to adopt the simplified spelling.
 The resolution which was passed touching this matter, does not give un- qualified endorsement to simplified spelling. It was votsd that this method of spelling should be used in some of the publications 1f the association. The resolution also allows the preference of each member to dictate to hiih whheter he shall use the Carnegie spelling or the forms now in general use.
 At the morning session Professor Brander Matthews delivered an address on the drama, entitled, Why Five Acts?" He declared there was no evil dence that Shakespeare divided his plays into acts, but that on the con- trary it was extremely probable that they were written as a continuous mar rative. The division into scenes and acts was made by the vast army of commentators and editors, with Rowe at the head of the procession.
 The ideal division of a play, and, in- deed, the logical one, was that of three acts, beginning middle and an end. said Professor Matthews, The old idea was that when a play had five acts. dignity wsnt with flowing robe, but when it had less, dignity was put into a short skirt

reer ane becoming numerous and bold in the southern part of the Pom peraug valley, now that light snow has covered their grazing grounds. Large droyes are making daily raids on the farmers stacks of hay. Herds of twenty-five and over have been seen several times in this vicinity, some of the animals being as large as cows, with handsome spreading antlers. They show little fear of man.
 Several times large bucks have been met by persons driving in the outskirts of the town, and instead of making a dash for the woods or fields, they stand like statues in the direct path of the driver, blocking the road for several moments before trotting into the thick ct.
 The deer are more numerous this year than ever before and they have eaten tons of hay from the stacks of the farmers.

Ned Barton was among the first who
proffered their services. 1 knew the
boy well, his strong, positive charac-
ter, his courage, his ambition and his
physical strength. He was too young,
so far as years might be counted, to
assume the duties of a soldier in the
field, but this weighed as nothing with
me against the other considerations 1
have named.
He was one of the best drill mas
tiers l ever saw. Before l was able to
put squad through the simplest ma
neuvers, he had mastered the whole
company drill, and 1 did not consider
it derogatory to my dignity as the cap
tain to sit on my horse in the field
where we practiced our evolutions and
permit him to take command.
In less than a month we had the
company formed, and on the day we
were sworn into the service, Ned Bar
ton was formally elected second lieu
tenant Wishing to have what is
called a crack" company when 1 led
it to the scene of action, 1 asked the
governors permission to encamp near
Hoodville for three or four weeks to
perfect the drill of the men.
Saturdays the camp was crowded
WIN V1SlJOrS, boys anu SlrlS DaTI1Cu-
larly, and on the last one before we
left to join the Army of the Potomac
we scarcely had room for the drill
that / had arranged to give for our
visitors benefit. Perhaps it was the
crowd that excited him, or he may
have been taken with an ugly SPELL -
as one of the men said, but Ned's
horse-Rocket he called him-was so
full of spirit that day that his young
rider had difficulty in controlling him.
In going through the maneuvers of
our drill, it became necessary several
times for me to warn the young peo-
pie back out of our way; they wanted
to see everything and would crowd
up as close as they could. regardless
of galloping horses and flying heels
In executing one of my commands,
called out as they were cantering over
the field, the men made a bad break,
and Ned Barton, who was near me,
noticing their mistake, suddenly gave
Rocket the spurs and swept after
them at a gallop. His course led him
directly toward part of the field
where so or more boys and girls were
standing, all intently watching the
drill.
I did not appreciate the danger my
self, until I caught a look from Ned's
face. then started toward the crowd.

SAVING THE FLAG.
How Ned Barton Won the Race with
Three Confederate Horsemen.

1 am going to tell you the story ex-
actly as it happened l have no de-
sire to make you think Ned Barton
brilliant hero; / will simply recount
the part he bore in some stirring
scenes and let you make up your own
mind about him.
The war of the rebellion broke out,
you know, in April, 1861. Ned was
then II ~ears old, a strong, athletic
boy, the best runner, jumper and ball
player in Hoodville-
Hoodville echoed with the drum and
fife as well as other places, and the
boys were as full of the martial spir-
it, in their way, as the men, Ned Bar
ton was particularly enthusiastic and
early in the summer of that eventful
year he organized a company among
the boys of the town, pored over 'Har-
dee's Tactics" and "Ellsworth's Zou-
ave Drill" and gave himself up, heart
and soul, to training his young re-
cruits in the manual of arms.
He called his company the "Zouave
Cadets" and suitably to the name,
they were uniformed in dark blue
jackets, loose red trousers and linen
leggings. Jaunty red caps, trimmed
with yellow braid, completed the
dress, and since these AMBITIOUS
young "home-guards" could not OBJ
tain arms from the state, each one of
them carried a double-barreled shot
gun. The women of Hoodville, proud
of the boy-soldiers, presented the
company with a pretty flag and
Capt" Barton with a handsome
sword, having a pearl handle and a
silver-plated scabbard.
Now, all this was great fun to the
members of the Zouave Cadets, and
no less to the citizens of Hoodville;
for when the company paraded, night
or day, there was a general turnout
of the people to look at them.
About this time, says the writer of
the story in the Chicago Daily News,
1 began to recruit company of cav
airy for the federal army under the
authority of the governor of the state.

AT THE CHARITY BAZAAR.

I did not kiss her. though her face
Was very beautiful to see:
I did not kiss her, though she said,
With modest bushes that might;
I'd thought / would, but hung my head
And hurried to get out of sight
That orphans might have bread ano
meat,
She sold the kiss that had bought;
Her lips looked very, very sweet.
And I'd been forced to bid a lot
She stood there in her booth prepared
To let her lips by mine be pressed;
I had the right, if had cared,
To catch her warmly to my breast
Would fame to any man be sweet
If for the asking it were had?
If wealth were laid at all mems feet,
Would money ever make US glad?
Let fools buy kisses, if they will,
From maidens who are fair to see;
The kiss that must be fought for still
Is all that seems worth while to me.
