CHANGES In Boston.

In 1856 one of the suburbs of Bos-
ton was Newe Towne, which in 1893
was changed to Cambridge and as the
seat Of Harvard university has an in
ternatiOnal reputation today. Since
the early lines were fixed Cambridge
obtained by annexation a part OF
Charlestown, but has ceded land to
the towns of Waltham, Brighton, Wa
tertown, Belmont and West Cam
bridge, the latter now known as Ar
lingtOn.
The Boston Of 1880, called Tri-Moun-
tain, was very different from the BOs-
ton of today. It's area was not exten-
sive, although it included the larger
portion Of Quincy, out of which the
town of Braintree was made at later
period. The first anneXations to BOs-
ton were Noodles island (East BOSTON,
and the territory now covered by Chel-
sea.
In 1910 Boston lost its rights in.Quin-
cy, which were acquired by the town
of Braintree. Subsequent additions to
Boston have been Roxbury. DOrches-
ter, West Roxbury, Brighton, Charles
town and a part of BrOOkline.
As an Independent municipality
Charlestown. which was settled as
early as Boston, gave birth to SOmer

It Made a Difference.

A Chinaman of noble birth had been
invited to dine at Williams home. His
mother was very anxious that the
guest should not be made uncOmfOrt-
able by the little chaps curiosity. so
she took him aside and explained all
about the yellow skin, long braid Of
hair and almond eyes of the MongO-
lians and even showed him pictures of
Chinese. She impressed upon him more
than anything else the fact that the
visitor was his fathers friend and was
to be treated with respect. Upon the
Celestials arrival William tried hard
not to stare or look too curious and
succeeded in being very quiet for some
time. when, much to the surprise of
his mother and the amusement of the
Chinese. he called out. Mamma. if he
wasn't our friend wouldn't he be fun

His Mother in-law Won.

By one of those queer marriage set
Elements sometimes made in England
a young man agreed to pay his wifes
mother $100 on the first day of each
year He settled in Canada. and when
he came to make the remittance he
deducted the amount of the postage
and sent her only $99.S4. The mother
in-law insisted that she must have the
other 16 cents. and after they had
quarreled by mail about it for a
month or two she had her attorneys
bring suit against him in the Ontario
courts. She made him pay. too, and
stuck him for the cost of the action,
though she was obliged to fee her
own lawyers. The total expenses of
this sixteen cent lawsuit were said to
be exactly $Gl2. most of which fell
upon the economical sOn-in-law.

Divind For Fish.

An Arab pilot on board an English
ship becalmed in the Persian gulf had
been amusing himself in diving for
oysters. After several attempts his
search proved unsuccessful.

of the vessel ne was commissioned to
convoy, since l cannot gather oysters,
dive for and catch fish"
All ridioulCd the idea. He went down
again. and the officers were astonishcd
to see him after short time rise to
the surface with small rOckfsh in
each hand. The Arabs own explana-
tion of the feat was that as he seated
himself at the bottom the fish came
around him and nibhlcd at his skin
Watching an opportunity. he seized
and secured his prey by thrustin" his
thumb and forefnger into their ex-

WHY so WEAK?
Troubles May Be Sap

Smyrna People Have
Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of
it all. Keep the kidneys we'll and
they will keep you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them well. Here is Smyrna
testimony to prove it.
John M. Watson, Mt. Vernon ST.,
Smyrna, Del, says: "About six
years ago l received severe injury
and was not expected to recover.
However, l got we'll but from that
time on l was greatly troubled with
my kidneys. Any cold l contracted,
any change in the weather, or over
exertion would affect my back and
kidneys and my back would ache so
severely that could hardly get
around. Since using one box of
Doan's Kidney Pills, which procured
at Clifton and Raymond's pharmacy,
l have found relief and my kidneys
have been restored to health. DOan's
Kidney Pills have been of such great
value to me that heartily recon-
mend them.

great ideals of community life as we'll
well as of personal character One OF
the most important adjuncts to this
end must be the country church, and
II invite your attention to what the
commission says of the country church
and of the need of an extension OF
such work as that of the Young Mems
Christian Association in country COM
munities. Let me lay special empha-
sis upon what the commission says at
the very end OF its report on personal
ideals and local leadership. Every
thing resolves itself in the end into the
question of personality. Neither So
ciety nor government can do much for
country life unless there is voluntary
response in the personal ideals of the
men and women who live in the coun-
try. In the development of character,
! the home should be more important
than the school, or than society at
large. When once the basic material
needs have been met, high ideals may
4 be quite independent of income; but
4 they can not be realized without suffi-
/ cient income to provide adequate
foundation; and where the community
I at large is not financially prosperous
/; it is impossible to develop a high av-
erage personal and community ideal.
In short, the fundamental facts OF
human nature apply to men and Wom-
i en- who live in the towns. Given a sui
/ ficient foundation of material well be-
ing. the influence of the farmers and
] farmers wives on their children be
comes the factor of first importance in
/ determining the attitude of the next
/ generation toward farm life. The
/ farmer should realize that the person
who most needs consideration On the
farm is his wife | do not in the least
mean that she should purchase ease at
the expense of duty. Neither man nor
woman is really happy or really useful
save on condition of doing his or her
duty If the woman shirks her duty
as housewife, as home keeper as the
mother whose prime function it is to
bear and rear a sufficient number OF
healthy children, then she is not en-
titled to our regard. But If she does
her duty she is more entitled to our
regard even than the man who does
/ his duty: and the man should show
special consideration for her needs.

mutual advantage and for the protec-
ton OF their own particular interests
in relation to other interests. The
farmers of every progressive Euro
pean country have realized this essen
i tial fact and have found in the CO.
operative system exactly the form of
business combination they need.
Now whatever the tate may do
toward improving the practice of ag-
riculture, it is not within the sphere
of any government to reorganize the
! farmers business or reconstruct the
social life of farming communities. It
/ is, however, quite within its power to
I use it's influence and the machinery

and the facts. For example, it is the
obvious duty of the government to call
I the attention of farmers to the grow

| The farmers above all should have
/ that power, on reasonable terms. for
cheap transportation, for lighting theil
homes. and for innumerable uses in
the daily tasks on the farm.
J 1t would be idle to assert that life
on the farm occupies as good a posi-
ton in dignity. desirability. and bust

lily give it If they chose. One of the

be open to question. But no one at al
familiar with farm life throughout the

necessity for building up the life of the

its productive side.
