has been said many times that Ameri-
cans do not know how to play. That
depends on just what you mean by
amusement. recreation, sport or what
ever you call 1t. Some men do not
know how to use any attractive form
OF amusement in such way as to
keep their vitality at its best. They go
to pieces and the hole they leave Is
promptly filed. But most OF our really
great Americans have some ways Of
enjoying themselves that are every bit
rs characteristic as their ways Of work
ing, writes E. s. Merriam in the Chi
cago Tribune. .a
Moreover most of their favorite
recreations are followed as strenuous
ly as their work. Perhaps that Is a
virtue. Perhaps 1t is falling. In
either event 1t Is a fact, and facts
about the men who are doing the con-
spicuous work of this present day are
worth knowing.

Green wood.

So cold and wet has it been the past
week that some have found fault with
the meteorological department of nature,
but it has been favorable for grass, which
has grown well during that time and
even some of the trees begin to look
green.
Our young craft went on a visit to
Patch Mountain Sunday, and soon after
they left home, l. W. Swan and wife
came to the Bennett place, so that the
old folks were left alone but short
time.
We heard something pecking against
the window, and looking up saw spar
row trying to capture fly, which was
slowly crawling on the inside of the
glass. The event of itself was simple
enough, but still quite amusing, and we
are not certain but there are those who
are capable of extracting a moral from
the act, small as it was to look at.

They are having trouble in the school

Report says Mr.. Wiley is coming back
to occupy the Joseph Cummings place,

when they left last fall.
Last Saturday, Mrs. Annie (Kimball),
wife of Floyd Morgan, of Bryant Pond,
went to Waterford, her former home, to
attend the funeral of her grandmother.
Mr.. Morgan lived the following night
without his better half, but the next
morning he made up his mind that living
alone was humbug, and came over to
the Bennett place.

Farm Buildings Burned In Sumner
TOTAL DESTRUCTION AT THE HoRArio
CHANDLER PLACE.

Fire which broke out about noon last
Thursday completely destroyed the
buildings on the Horatio Chandler farm
in the southwestern part of Sumner. Mr..
Chandler some time ago moved to West
Sumner village, and the farm was occu-
pied by his son Frank Chandler.
1t is supposed that the fire caught
around the chimney, though it was first
discovered ON the roof. II burned very
rapidly, and in an hour everything was
fat. There are few near neigbors who
had time to get there to help, and almost
nothing was saved. The barn was not
connected with the house, but the wind
was blowing directly toward it and il
could not be saved. A hen house some
distance from the other buildings was
also in range of the wind and was burn
ed. The fire also ran in the grass some
distance from the buildings, and sparks
set grass fires in at least two places at
distance OF nearly mile.
Mr.. Chandler was at work in the field
and his housekeeper, Mrs. Ida Everett,
was alone in the house. Just before the
neighbors arrived to give the alarm,
Mrs. Everett heard something fall in the
shed and going into that part she dis
covered the house was on fire and por
ton of the chamber floor had burned
away. The chimney burned out the day
before and 1t is supposed it had beer
smouldering ever since.
Mrs. Everett in a frantic effort to save
money and valuable papers fingered il
the house so long that she had to bt
taken by force out through window
getting severe cut on one hand from
broken glass.
The horse, wagons and six pigs wer'
rescued from the burning barn. Thu
cattle were out to pasture.
There was an insurance Of $1,000
which is much short of the loss.
