New Grange Organized.

The new Grange at Ear Mills was
organized last week by Deputy w. e.
Deering of Hollis, ably assisted by IL.
G. Wakefield and Mrs Wakefield of
the Hollis Grange, and it starts under
the most favorable circumstances.
About one month ago John w. Ran
kins, on request of q number of our
citizens, circulated a pctiti1n, thinking
that il he could obtain tie signatures
of 50 interested parties he would be
satisfied that the petition would re-
ccive favorable consideration from the
state Grange. Mr.. RankinS was soon
convinced tnat he was to receive not
only the 50 names, but enough more
to convince the state officers beyond
any possibility Of doubt that q Grange
was needed in this village, and when
the same was forwarded to State Mas
ter Stetson containing 80 names it is
judged that, by his immediate attcn-
ton to the matter, he was more than
forcbly impressed with the petition.
With Secretary Libby that official
came here and within n few days Dep
uty ncering was notified to organize
the Grange as soon as arrangements
could be made, and Tuesday evening,
May 26, was decided on and at s
O'Clock y. Il. Pcnncll. who was an
pointed secretary for the evening. re-

There was an abrupt pause, and

Dearest, you mean it generously,

that outbreak of Stephens means to
those whose families have been New
Workers since New York was. 1t is
ominous, 1t is more than ominous. 1t
means that the master vice has seized
on one more Siward. But 1 shall new
er, never admit 1t to his mother"
The younger girl sat- wide eyed,
silent. The elders gaze was upon her,
but her thoughts, remote, centered on
the hapless mother of such son.
"Such indulgence was once fashion
able. Moderation is the present fash
ion. Perhaps he will fall into line"
said Mrs. Ferrall thoughtfully. 1.-THE
main thing is to keep him among peo-
pie, not to drop him. The gregarious
may be shamed. but If anything, any
incident happens to drive him outside
by himself, If he should become soil
tary, there's not chance in the world
for him. It's a pity. know he meant
to make himself the exception to the
rule-and look! Already one carouse
of his has landed him in the daily pa
persy'
Sylvia flushed and looked up. "Grace,
may l ask you a question:"
"Yes, child" she answered absently
"Has it occurred to you that what
you have said about this boy touches
me very closelyT'
Mrs. Ferrall's wits returned nimbly
from woolgathering, and she shot a
startled, inquiring glance at the girl
beside her.
"You-you mean the matter of hered.
