Albert R. Barnes.

The death OF Albert r. Barnes oc-
CURED at his home in this city on
Tuesday afternoon at l:30. His i'll
ness was of a fcw days duration, be-
ginning with bowel trouble and cul-
minating with an apoplectic stroke
which resulted fatally.
Albert Raymond Barnes was born
in Honesdale. Wayne county, Penn,
in lS47. He was twice married, his
second marriage being with Miss
Elizabeth Duncan at Manchester in
1886. They removed to this city
in 1902, where they have since re-
sided. He was employed at the
Webster seed farm, where he per-
formed his duties as late as Satur-
day. lie was known as an honor
able, industrious employee. He
leaves a wife and six children: VIM.
of Manchester; Clara, Mrs. Lizzie
Till, Mrs. Christina Reisner, Chas.
and Lewis, all living in or near this
city. The funeral was held from
the family home this morning at
9 o'clock, Rev. 7. E. Taylor, of the
Methodist church officiating. The
interment was at Delhi.-Independ-

At short range, says the Philadel-

point about this admirable bullet
is tho fit trajectory. With the pres

with perfect immunity at many
points between the muzzle and the

would pass LIZ feet over his head.
The new bullet shows ten-ioot rise
at this distance. Almost the entire
space between muzzle and target
would be zone of danger. Only
one fault is found by experts with

ing how the head of the family

But they don't stop when this
knowledge is gained. Ii he has girls

Your determination to keep your.
self in such place and mind your
own business does not change the
situation. If you carry a bag to and
from the city your neighbors will
move heaven and earth to find out
what you are carrying in it.
III you are lawyer and they are
satisfied that your brief" are in it,
it may relief their anxiety for a time.
But il you are an ordinary business
man their curiosity will haunt you,
though you dodge their inquisitive-
ness in this particular.
The newcomer into the village
life must be oppressed by the amount
OF gossip he hears, and by the a.
mount which his own family in
spires. You can't avoid this inces-
SAINT claptrap.
There are always partisan people
in every village who manufacture
falsehoods out Of whole cloth, who
live upon cold storage Imagination,

together, this incident and the other,
and keeping them together till they
can spin out some yarn" about you

You may be the most innocent and
close-mouthed individual in the
world, but this does not matter.
The gossips in village are we'll

in the business to let anyone escape
their sting. Your wife, your chill
dren will have many a trying me-
ment, if they arc at all sensitive.
Village life would be simply ideal
if it were not for this microbe.
You can't get used to it and let
the tongues wag. Try as you will.
it is always an irritant, because you
never know what shape it will cham
pion.
1t takes long residence in the
country to get Injured to it; even
then you are afraid of it at stated
intervals.
The worst in modern village life
is not the dog grass in your plowed
field, or the vermin on your chick
ems, or the bug on the potato vines,
or the worm that gnaws your cab
bage plant. You dose these and
keep them at bay. But village
gossip no one can tame; it is an un-
ruly evil, full of deadly poison, and
often takes the shine out of the beau
ties of nature,
