PRESCRIPTION HARD TO FILL.
Doctors Orders Had to Be Disregard
 ed by Nurse.

When we were house doctors b years ago in one of the large hos pitals of Boston, says writer in the Herald of that city, one of our num- Der was at times inclined to imbibe too freely when he had an evening free from his surgical duties. One night he came back to the hospital at II o'clock, and though perfectly able to walk, his brain was bit be- logged.
 As was usual, he went the rounds of the wards to see if his patients were comfortable. One of them complained of pain and the doctor wrote a prescription in the ''order book" for the nurse to give the pa- tient, and then went off to bed. As was customary he made a morning visit before the arrival of the head surgeon, and as he reached the bed of the man for whom he wrote the prescription the previous evening, the nurse said "she was very sorry, but she couldn't give the medicine as he had directed,' and at the same time she handed him the order book.
 The doctor was overcome, for he had written "Three roller bandages to be taken every three hours."

"A SOLDIERS SOLDIER "
Storyette of Indian Days Written by a
 Canaan Pupil.

Oo'aoi oPis
 James was boy of fourteen when trouble with the Indians began. His father was one of the many who joined regiment which was to march to little frontier town threatened by an attack of these savages James wanted very much to go with his father and help fight the Indians but it was necessary to leave him at home 70 care for his mother and the small farm.
 His father had not been away long when James while hunting for a quail for breakfast one morning saw three Indians sitting behind a large rock, talk ing and gesticulating excitedly. James stole softly as near to this rock as he could, without being seen. Of course was said but he did hear them mention his fathers name, saw them point to- ward his home and caught the words white squaw" and "papoose. He was very indignant at being called papoose and stole off without waiting to hear more. When he reached home, he told his mother what he had seen and heard then put the cattle ill their sheds, saw that the shutters were closed, doors barred and guns in readiness. Then he and his mother took up their positions at two of the loopholes to wait for the attack. They had not long to wait for soon they saw the three Indians creep ing stealthily through the tall grass to- ward the house. When they were with ill a very short distance from the house, James and his mother both fired. Two of the Indians fell dead iH the grass, while the other, terrified at this warm reception, turned and fled into the woods.
 James and his mother stayed alone for two weeks and then his father returned. When he heard the story, he told them that he would no longer fear to leave two such brave soldiers in charge of the home. FANNIE LONDON.

OBITUARY
LOREN P. KEYEs.

LOFhN hE
 South Berkshire sustains the loss of an honest and well liked citizen in the death of former Senator Loren P. Reyes of New Marlboro. During his long life he caused his name to stand for all that was upright in public and private mat ters. His election to the state senate from the Berkshire Hampshire district was fitting recognition of his integrity and during his service at the state house his rugged honesty coupled with his ability to discern dishonest legislation made him man who was feared by the corrupt lobby. MT. Reyes was farmer all his life, but owing to his business qualifications made it paying venture when others felt forced to abandon it. His deathwill be of greater loss to the far mers than any other class whose inter- ests he never failed to serve regardless of any trouble or expense involved.
 JOHN CAREY.

Carey had been i'll for about week with pneumonia MT. and Mrs. Carey were planning to observe their golden wedding next month.
