LIKE THE ATTEMPT ON
LIFE OF RUSSELL SAGE.
Story of Man Who Demanded $4,000
and Was Killed by His Own Bomb.

There is a striking similarity be.
tween the Philadelphia affair and the
attempt of Henry l.. Norcross to kill
Russell Sage in his New York office
Is years ago. Norcross threw a bomb
at MIR. Sage. The explosion killed
himself and a clerk named BENJAMIN
F.. Norton. seriously injuring Mr.,
Sage. Frank Robertson and William R.
Laillaw, slightly wounded other per-
sons and demolished the Office.
N%orcross was a note broker, with an
office in Pearl street, Boston. He
conceived the idea of getting money
from Mr.. Sage by threatening his life,
and in pursuance of his plan manufac-
tured a destructive bomb in his office.
The bomb he placed in a satchel and
then started for New York.
On December 4, 1891, Norcross
walked into Mr.. Sage's office, at No
III Broadway. carrying the satchel
Handing the clerk a card inscribed
I'm. d. Wilson," he asked that Mr.
cage be notified.

Makes Plea for Dance.

II seems a very great pity that some
determined effort cannot be made to
make dancing more popular Nova
days. when exercise Is a kind OF re-
ligion to men and women alike it Is
odd that n recommended by all doc
tors and recognized all the world over
and In all ages as an attractive pas
time, into which the art of fascination
largely enters, should be more and
more neglected among us.-Lady's Pic

a week. One morning We discovered
a little yellow pimple on one OF
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
ceuld not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to

LITTLE BERKSHIRE RIVER.
BY ANGIE M. LUCKE.

Berkshire River-we term it so:
 Though truly 'tis not over wide,
 This little river that we know
 Comes down from Berk shire's green
 hill side.
 This streamlet from the Berkshire Hills
 Flows softly through the meadow wide,
 Its waters stray in little riils ,
 Coming again unto it's tide.
 And grasses bend unto its stream, And almost cast themselves within;
 So high it comes upon the green While waiting lilies watch its gleam.
 It comes so swiftly flowing cool, Unto group of dear green trees; And here it forms deep dark pool, A loved tryst, for the summer breeze. And on the drifting wavelets come, Still larger grown it's banks to fill; Were e'er so dear loved waters known, As these that come from Berkshire Hills. Under the bridge the streamlet flows, And now the river is so near, So widened too it really grows, Stones lie clear in its waters dear.
 Bushes are gathered around it now;
 This river dear from far away; So green they wait around and how They shield it on this hot June day. Its rippling music sounds so dear; 1t wider grows and branches part, Its waters seem so deep and clear, And sacred to the wailing heart For here in days so long agone, The priest came with the trembling one It's sacred waters held the forms, And bathed the heart till sun was flown. The spot is sacred of it's kind, And holy thoughts are casting thrills Among the bushes as they wind, Round the river from Berkshire Hills.

After a sumptuous dinner there were informal exercises. Henry M Smith acted as toastmaster and introduced Mrs Smith first who read a paper reminiscent in it's charac- ter. Then followed original poems, written by R. H. Smith, one of which was as follows:
 As evening twilight creeps apace
 Into the western sky The winkling starlight helps displace
 The rays of days gone by. The gloaming brightness yields at first
 To evening star alone, Till Heavens lightness comes to burst
 Upon us one by one. The spangled heavens at last proclaim
 The star-built throne of God In perfect sevens for hours to reign
 Till sunrise spreads abroad. So human frailty comes at even
 To miss the friends of yore, But Heavens realty has bereaven
 That stars may shine galore. The aching weeper knew at first
 A single friend at rest. Death, the stern reaper does his worst
 Takes many to the blest. In age, above is thick with stars
 Stars God chose bright to reign. Soon perfect Love shall heal Life's
