He Stopped His Paper.


 About two months ago one of our farmer friends dropped in and stopped hls Farmer. He said he couldn't afford to take the paper and just had to do with out it. He dropped in again last Satur- day and planked down $2.0O for year in advance-and then heaved a sigh of relief. Everything had gone wrong since the Farmer ceased to visit him. His chickens refused to lay, his COWS got on the alfalfa and died, and his hogs got the cholera. The rats gnawed holes in his granary and his wheat ran out and the birds ate it up. His windmill blew over and killed horse, and' his best shepherd dog got a bone in his throat and choked to death. His children got the measles and his wife smashed her thumb in the wringer and could't do any housework. Thieves broke into his smokehouse and stole his winters SUD- ply of meats, and fire destroyed several stacks of his alfalfa. He bought grocer ies of a travelling faker and never got them, while his neighbor escaped be- cause he read iE the Farmer to watch out for crooks. His days were filled with misfortune and his nights with bad dreams. He stood it two months and then gave up the unequal struggle Osborne Farmer -. ..e ....

Appreciated the Beautiful,

That 1t is not always we'll to put on ones dowdiest garments when one goes to visit the poor is the moral of story told in an English maga- zine recently. There were two phi lanthropists, according to the tale, one a professional and the other an anna teur. The professional had arranged to take the amateur to gathering of slum dwellers in the east end of Lon don. At the appointed hour the anna teur. who happens to be duchess and great beauty, appeared at the house of her friend, dazzling apparition in court dress. tiara and lswels. "Oh, my dear" gasped the professional. falling helplessly into the nearest chair, don't you know that we are going to one of the lowest and most squalid slums? I can't promise that you will bring any of that back with you" But the beauty only laughed. That's all right" she said. "I quite understand you. But poor people love beautiful things. Their children espe- cially are captivated with fine dresses and feathers. Just wait and you will seep' And the professional did see. Those poor. half starved, half naked slum dwellers had eyes for no one but the dazzling young beauty who had done them the infinite honor of coming to see them in her most beautiful frocly and towels

Not Much News.

In the summer of 1903 an exploring expedition set out from Cook inlet, Alaska, in an attempt to climb Mount Mckinley, the highest peak on the American continent. They went in with a pack of cayuses through hun dred miles of tundra and then strug- gled for weeks over glaciers and through terrible hardships, to emerge at last on the Chulitna river, down which they rafted to civilization, as represented by Cook inlet.
 As they came in, worn, ragged, al- most dead from exposure and hunger, a tall old man stroled upshore with four white mems dogs, says Robert Dunn in ''The Shameless Diary of an Explorer" They asked him the news of the world.
 "Waal, yer know the pope's dead" he drawled, land the cardinals held sort of convention and elected new pope.

Happenings of Interest in Sharon's Religious Circles
 Methodist Church.
 The clear air and moderate tempera- ture of last Sunday was conducive to a larger attendance at church than has occurred for good many Sundays past.
 The congregations of the Methodist and Congregational churches met in thelr second union service, last Sunday night, in the Congregational church, and if the number in attendance may be taken as evidence, there can be no doubt that the community endorses the movement. The pastor Rev. G. L. Forte preached an interesting sermon on the relative moral values in the characters of the twin Hebrew brothers, Esau and Jacob in the former of which he. found many more commendable qualities than i'll the latter.
 Congregational Church.
 All the services last Sunday were un- usually well attended. The union meeting in the evening was the first of it's kind between the Methodists and the Congregationalists but to judge by the number out it was & successful starting of good movement.
 Next Sunday mornings subject will be"True Greatness. In the evening the pastor will speak on Providence" which subject was scheduled for last Sunday evening but postponed on account of the union meeting. s#

Greed That Overreached Itself.

oTGGu nat ONSTTGaCneQ lIS6IT. "
 The Messenger has reliable informa- tion to the effect that the circus now advertised to exhibit at Swanton tried to make contracts for its appearance in Jhis city instead, but was "held up" by suoh high prices asked by local men for local rentals that the agents gave up in dis pair and selected Swanton for the show place. This has happened here before. Not very long ago one of the Ringing Bros. announced that he would never bring their circus here again because they were well nigh robbed right and left by the extortionate prices asked for everything they had to rent or buy in St Albans. The Messenger has referred to this shortsighted business before when it lost the community an oppor- tunity to make an honest dollar in just this very same way. Hero is another chance gone by, not very large one, to be sure. but every little helps. Mean- while the reputation of St Albans for greed is spreading among the showmen and we may confidently expect to be avoided like the plague. That is what 9 few obstinate selfish men can do for their home town.-St. Albans (Vt.) Messenger"
