this and agreed to meet Aiken aboard
a train between Troy and Albany in
the afternoon.
| Aiken, apparently either thinking he
was arranging only with one of the
girls, arranged with a magistrate to
perform the ceremony Just before time
for the night boat to leave for New
York.
Each of the twins, apparently salts
/ fed that she had outwittcd the other,
caught the train for Albany, while
| Aiken. sauntering along as If uncou-
concerned, jumped on the train Just as
/ IL started to move. II is certain thnt
one of the twins was i'm the second
coach and the other i'm the chair car,
! and that both were watching the un-
concerned young man on the platform.
Each saw him swing aboard the chair
car and each waited. thrilling with cx-
| pcCtuncy and hOpo-perhaps as much
hope of outwittiug her rival twin as Of
wedding Aiken.
Aiken arrived i'm the chair car and
discovered one of the twins, supposed
to have been Minna. There they sat,
holding hands and gazing out toward
the beautiful rivCr-and perhaps along
the wonderful misty vista of the fu
turc, when the other twin. suspicious
and weary Of waiting I'm the day coach
for the lover she had seen swing aboard
the train to arrive, descended upon
them.
Leaps from Car and Runs Away
The scene was ono that defiies de-
sCription. How Aiken explained and
what he said is recorded only by TIE
fraCmontary reports of the passengers
Aiken. however proved himself more
courageous than most men would have
been. He managed to prevent an open
clash between his twin fiancee, and he
stuck to his post. trying to explain, I'm

down at a junction. Just as the train
was starting ON Aiken excused himself
Eud at the rear end of the chair car
grabbed his suit case, made a wild leap
spraWled through the cinders, and re-
covering, made Il wild dash for a trolley
car.
The fearful twins and the other pas
scugcrs saw him sprint along the street.
throwing his grip aboard the car, grab
the hand rail and swing aboard.
The twins rode on to Albany and
went to the appoined rendezvous to-
gcthcr-not to wed Aiken, but to an
nihilate him. but he never appeared.
Nor have they since succeeded in find
ing any trace of him.
People i'm Troy who know of the
story say they scarcely blame Aiken
for running after he discovered the
plight he was in, and as for the girls,
they are the best friends and they stick
to the story that they planned the
double elopement to punish Aiken.

Successful Food Sale and Play.

The annual Thanksgiving Hover
and food sale held by the women of
the Congregational church Monday
and Tuesday was well attended. The
sale opened Monday noon in the chapel
and continued through the afternoon
and evening and all day Tuesday from
9 a. m. until 9 p. m. There were tables
devoted to cookery of all kinds. There
was also the usual variety of home,
made candy and food for sale as well
as decorated place cards and favors.
Each afternoon from 4 to 6 tea was
served in the parlors Mrs. W. ii. Cor
ser was in general charge OF the al,
fair and Miss Mary Henshaw looked
after the tea room. In connection with
the sale there was delivery service
whereby articles purchased were taken
to any part of the town by force OF
boys who presented themselves for
duty after school hours.
Good as Gold, four act comedy,
was given in connection with tins sale
in Grange hall Monday evening. There
was large audience in attendance.
The play was replete with laughable
situations. The interest was centered
in the confusion ON the part of the
nieees as to the identity of a real aunt
who was to take one of the girls to Eu-
rope. The misunderstanding was final
" cleared and the choice of the niece
was made after her merits had been
tested The mother of the four daugh-
ters was well assumed by Mrs. Q. ii.
Thompson. Miss Ethel Randall played
especially well the role of the distant
cousin Of the mother and who it was
supposed was the rich aunt. she
seemed to be at home in the part and
made it source of much amusement.
Miss Edwina Whitney as the rich aunt
acted well the character of the coun-
trv cousin. The four daughters IN the
nlav were Miss Alice Holden, Mrs Hal
March. Miss Edna Crosby and Miss
Florence Howe. Rosa, the maid, was
Miss Rose Putnam, while Miss Dorothy
Graffam and Miss Marjorie Waterman
anpeared as little girls from school. W.
a Gilbert essayed the role of the bag,
gaoe master and Wells Miller that OF
fbe Italian. The bear accompanying
the italian was impersonated by Ernest
Arnold.

Home Discipline.

The Unitarian church was filled Fri.
day evening to hear the fourth lecture
by Prof. T.. Z. ST. John on Child Study
under the auspices Of the Sunday
school union. The subject was Home
Discipline, and the speaker was listened
to with much interest although some
disagreement was naturally shown
with his views. Prof. st. John said in
part;
Discipline is generally understood to
mean punishment. There are four mo-
tives for punishment-reyenge, protec-
ton of society, reformation of the
wrong-doer, and prevention of undone
wrong. There are three motives for
obedience, feai of the one in author
ity. fear of the general consequences,
and respect for constituted laws. There
are two kinds of punishment, arbitrary
and retributive. Arbitrary punishment
is determined without reference to the
offense; retributive punishment bears
some direct relation to the offense. Ma
ture s .punishments are retributive.
Taking as an example the following
case; A little girl dropped book on
the floor and was told by her mother to
pick it up. She said 81 don't want
to. =" "Pick the book up at once or |
shall whip you," the mother said. ~
won I, - said the child. The mother
whipped her until she consented to
pick up the book. Did the mother do
rightl
The concensus of opinion in the au
dience was that the mother was in
error. Just where she began to make a
mistake was not so well agreed One
mother said, ''She was too hasty. ~
At this reply the speaker pulled down
a curtain, marked Suggestions on
Home Discipline and displayed the
rule, "Be Polite He went on to
say that parents could not expect any
courteous obedience from children to
whom they were impolite. Further
rules were "Be Reasonable, - "Be
Tactful. - "Be Loving" "Be Logi-
cal. and each was suitably elaborated
Speaking from the audience, several,
including Principal E. b. Smith and
Rev. l.. NJ. Keneston took exception to
the idea of offering a reason for obed'
ience in such case, making an op
portunitv for endless discussion.
The speaker made strong case out
for retributive punishments instead Of
whipping and similar punishments. To
close he told very beautiful parable
of the little boy who was tied to his
mother apron strings till he broke
them and ran away. But when be
finally fell over an ugly precipice, the
string still tied around his waist saved
him from death.
The next lecture will be in Baptist
church this evening at clock Sub

in the service by Rev. H. r. Miles VINO

conducted the opening service, and py
Rev. George B. Lawson who read the
Scriptures and offered prayer. Two Sc

sung by Edward H. Miller.
Mr. Ospood took for the text of his
sermon Genesis S:22: "While the earth
remaineth seed time and harvest ana
cold and heat and summer and winter
and day and night shall not cease
He laid particular emphasis on the uni
versatility of gratitude. 1t is shown
more especially, he said, in the season
of harvest, and at Christmas time When
the spirit of thankfulness is deepened;
Precious tokens and interchange OF
gifts bespeak the attitude of the heart
and soul-iife of men. We are all moved
by the same impulse because OF these
freouent reciprocal acts of kindness ana
the thanksgiving spirit which accom-
NAMES them. Going deeper into the
subject he said one cannot but pe
turned from humanity about us to an
infinite wisdom, to an all embracing
love. He spoke of the joy that hlled
tbe soul because of the consciousness
that the External Goodness - is en-,
circling us. A living faith he sald
must be at the foundation OF this graft
tude of man for what God had done
for him. .,o
Mr.. Osgood said that he chose the
words of the text because of their rare
suggestiveness at this season. man,

forces are governed by law and are
abiding, enabling him to look forward
from year to year in full confidence
So the principles or laws governing

Richardson,s S Market Burglarized.

Richardson s upper market on Elliot
street was broken into Tuesday night
and the contents of the money drawer
amounting to $40 was carried away as
booty. Entrance was effected through
the rear doors. On account of the way
that these doors were fastened the
thieves were able to force their way
in. 1t seems that a bar is placed across
the folding doors and held in place by
series of hoOk-like devices. by
rafting one of the doors screw in
one of the hooks was pulled out, the
hook overturned. The door was then
pushed open. The intruder must have
been familiar with the custom OF the
bookkeeper for he was able to locate
the money bags in which change is al
ways left at night for the use OF the
drivers who make early morning de-
liyeries. Mr.. Richardson believes that
he knows who the thief is but he de-
clines to say much about the affair.".
