Mime. Sain+on- DoIby,s Romance.

In 1856 Sainton was much interest
ed in the lady whom, four years later,
he took to wife. Some impetuous
reader may here demand why if he
were on excellent terms with Miss
Dolby in 1856 he waited till 1860 be-
fore enforcing a decision. L can an
swer that on the authority Of the per-
sons most concerned. No ardor was
wanting to the lover, but the gifted
and stately woman, always so self pos
sessed and dignifed, seemed too for
midable for any pretensions which
Sainton could make. So he worshiped
and waited till one day when the pair
were touring with concert company
they found themselves two in COM
partment. Resolved then to challenge
fate, Sainton declared his love and put
the momentous question. This was
the answer: Prosper, why did you not
ask me before From Forty Years
of Music" by Joseph Bennett.

The New Paper School House.

The Darlington Republican, ournal:
District No. in Willow Springs has
become a graded school of the second
class and a fine new two room school
house has recently been completed
at a cost of about eighteen hundred
dollars, on the site of the old building
There are 10 residents of school age
now living in the district, and the
schools are being taught by Miss Rose
Dunbar OF Mineral Point, principal,
and Miss Mae Macken of Darlington,
assistant.
The Paper school house, located in
'Kaintuck" grove in Willow Springs
is a landmark in the county, and yet
today the question is frequently asked
why was it called the paper school
house and the locality 'Kaintuck
| Grove?' "
! The writer was born in district num-
| Der 3, and the only school he ever at
tended until he was nearly eighteen
| years of age was in the old original
| paper school house.
What changes have taken place in
the past thirty years. Not a single
person who lived in the district then
| resides there today. The school house,
the grove and the Ker Suckians, togeth
err with all other original settlers and
their descendants, are gone; only the
memories and names remain, and let
us hope they will stay with us forever.

town were nearly all blocked up with
snow until Monday. A tremendous

Making Industrial Centres
Snnl,RlaSS

The smokeless American city is
coming in the very near future.
In the ultimate solution of the
smoke problem in the United States
there are several highly interesting
factors that will play important parts,
according to the Government scien-
fists.
One of these is the gas engine, or
as the engineers term it, 1.-THE Internal
combustion motor" This engine is
absolutely smokeless,-s be-
cause it has no chimney. On greater
economy, it is declared, may cause it
to displace the steam engine within a
few years, but this is not conceded by
many engineers.
Another factor is the establishment
of central steam heating plant in the
various cities to supply heat to the
thousands of homes, and the great
steam power plants, many of which
are now operating smokelessly and
with far greater efficiency than ever
before.
Still another factor is the location
of immense gas producer plants at
the coal mines and the turning of this
gas into electric power for long-dis-
lance transmission or the piping of
of the gas to substations near the
great manufacturing districts, there
to be burned in gas engines and also
to develop power and heat for the
various industries. From Govern
ment Solves the Smoke Problem" by
