TO CLOSE THE STORES NIGHT

TO CLOSE THE STORES NIGHTS.
 The subject of closing the local stores two or three nights week at 6 o'clock is being agitated among the merchants in town. It is a custom which is gaining in popularity in the surrounding localities, in some places the stores being closed every night but Saturday at o'clock. It is to be hoped that this village is as up-to-da as any other small country place and that it will not remain behind the times in this matter, but that the merchants will get stogether on some basis which will allow the employee as we'll as the employer an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Berkshire Hills scenery and outdoor life for few hours at least.

Same Old Jane.

An old farmer was skeptical as to
whether people who were miles apart
could really talk to each other over a
telephone wire.
One day his wife went to make a
visit to distant friend who had a
telephone in her house. During the
afternoon the farmer visited near
neighbor who also boasted a house
telephone and who persuaded the
farmer to call up his wife as a little
surprise. Following instructions he
put the receiver to his ear, and, after
the usual preliminaries, he shouted:
"Hello, Jane.''
Just then fash of lightning caus-
ed by the heat of the summer day,
struck the wire, and he fell sprawling
to the floor. The neighbor was cha
grined that the old man should meet
with such an accident on his first trial
of telephone, and assured him that
such thing would not happen except
in case of storms. But the farmer
was convinced of the possibilities of
communication, however, and would
not try again. He rose to his feet,
and shaking his head knowingly said:
"It's wonderful; that was Jane, all
right. ."-Remhardt Quade, Reeseville,

Thorn was hit by railroad train
about a year ago and when the doc
tors cut off his leg a disease of the
bone set in. The injured man was
taken home, where, while he lay on
his back waiting for the bone to heal,
he cast about for some means whereby
he could procure a cork leg. He
finally hit on the plan of rafting off a
