time to come when l should be old
enough to join the order and learn
about its beautiful and impressive SER
vices. Years have passed away since
then. l have spoken for this great
order in many States and in Canada
and have crossed the seas to foreign
lands in its interest, but the memory of
those childhood days at the Center, and
my intense desire to grow old enough
to join the lodge of Good Templars, are
among the sweetest thoughts of my
life.
During my brief visit to Montville
was near Ayers Ridge and the spot
where the little old red schoolhouse
stood in the True district. This little
schoolhouse had famous record. Four
persons connected with this school
were in after years members of Con-
gress. They were Hon. Benjamin
White, school committee man, who
was a member of the 2sth Congress and
who was also strong temperance man;
Rev. Ebenezer Knowlton, who was
speaker of the Maine House of Repre-
sentative in 1874, and a member of the
34th Congress-an able man and active
in temperance work-Hon. John T.
Averill, born not far from Center
Montville, but who moved to Mime
sofa and was sent to Congress from St.
Paul; Captain Richard S. Aver, who
was born and lived the greater part of
his life in Montville, but who at the
close Of the Civil war remained in the
south and was sent to Congress from

for himself and his neighbors.

More than all in value is the lesson
OF his accuracy and painstaking care
i'll little things:
! Washington's fidelity to detail is
shown by the care with which lie
kept his account books. The entries
were written in clear, careful letters,
and among them are found items like
these: "Paid for bonnet and TRIM
mlngs for Miss Curtis, $275' "Paid
freight on Il saddle of mutton brought
from Baltimore by stage. 1876"
'For 160 mulberry trees, $780,"
"Dclivcrcd to Mr.. Danbridgc to pay
for handkerchicfs for Miss Curtis,
$780, and this rather surprising
entry: "Paid Timmins for SOUP,
$l6.00.' Whether into the old cx-
ccntlve mansion on Broadway when
New York was the capital of the
United States, or on his Virginia
plantation, all his accounts were kept
IN the same accurate, painstaking
way. Whenever his agents in Eng
land sent him any articles he reuuir-
ed them to forward the original
vouchers from the shopkccpcrs.

From 1859 to 1854 Washington was

Bristol and Liverpool. Large quan-

manufacturer of iron or cotton goods
is very careful about his cost sheet.
Fle can tell to the fraction of a penny
whether or not he is getting as much

In the same way, the intelligent

even at the end of the year. Of course
every man who works faithfully is

Once there was a great farmer in
this country, who, when he died, is
said to have been the wealthiest man
IN all these United States and his
property consisted of plantations,
well stocked and he made them paw.
Tic owned no banks and in his day
nobody owned railroads or trolley
lines or steamship lines. He was mere
ly farmer, plain farmer, who did
not mind working with his own hands
when 1t was necessary. He was not
born rich and there have been men of
greater brilliance in America though
none perhaps who were wiser. We
suppose it would be sensible thing

and the grown-up farmers too to read
about this farmer and his WAYS and

Sometimes we are prone to think

HORTICULTURE
BY r. WALDEN

The Oregon Agriculturist and Rural
Northwest, which is leading farm pa
per in Oregon, recently contained this
statement: The decision of the Ore
gon state board of agriculture to abol-
ish the selling of pools at the state fair
has met with the hearty commenda-
ton of the press of the state. This
able paper has been advocating this
step and with it the abolition of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors on the fair
grounds. 1t is gratifying to know that
these earnest appeals are meeting with
deserved success. The farmers of our
country are generally sober men and
are opposed to all forms of gambling.
If the fairs are run for their benefit
and that is the plea when appeals are
made to legislatures for aid-then they
should be heard. and they will be,
sooner or later.

The Legislature of California passed
a law the past winter known as SEN

called substitution in selling nursery
stock. If a man, for instance, buys

fords or any other variety he is liable

to rap violently for order. 1t came
during one of the intense moments In
Heney's arguments. He was blasting
the claim of the defense that Special
Agent Burns had brought pressure to
bear on Ruef to induce him to TESTIFY
as the prosecution desired.
If you wonder why Burns burned

would be made to tamper with him as
an attempt was made to pull down our
chief witness, Thomas Reagan
Raising his voice to great pitch
Heney turned toward Attorney Metson
and continued: 1T was because we
reared another such attempt as when
Henry Lynch of the United Railroads
and the Southern Pacific was sent by
Billy Metson to try to prevail on Tim
Sullivan to pull down Thomas Reagan.
Half rising, Metson answered,

shouted as a parting shot and then
turned his attention to the jury again.
Heney claimed that Attorney Metson
enlisted the services of William +. Her
rim In an attempt to defeat the prose-
cution of Mayor Schmitz. He charged
that Henry Lynch, former lieutenant
of Herrin, was sent to Tim Sullivan,
an intimate friend of Reagan. and that
an attempt was made to induce Sulli-
van to persuade Reagan to refuse to
take the stand against Schmitz. Ac-
cording to Heney Lynch told Sullivan
that he was sent by Herrin and Met
son.
When asked about the incident last
night, Metson stated that he had moth
