Properly there is only one verb for love. It is not "amo." It is not "aimer." It is not the softest Italian verb. No printed language of man knows it. But the violin knows if, and the wild bird knows it: even the sea knows if. The rose Is it, and the moon is it, and the look of n mans eyes into q woman's is it, and the look of woman's eyes back again Is it. But no man or woman can say it in any language that endures.

Death of We'll Known Resident

The many friends of Harry B. Ben jamin were pained to learn Monday morning that, during the night, the Pale Messenger had summoned him into the realm of eternity. While it was thought that he could not live, death came rather suddenly and therefore with shock. Mir. Benjamin had been sick for nearly one year and death is ascribed to anaemia.
 None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood for month s by the side of loved one as hope after hope dropped away, as the petals fall | from fading flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tender est words. He who has gone forth could
 not be supported on his solitary path by an earthly friend. The wife, with a ! devotion few women are capable of.
 whose strength was given sweetly, ten derly to the invalid, the wife, whose heroic devotion never faltered, could not
 detain him by the clasp of earthly love; i but after the last word had been spoken, the last sign of recognition was gone, a i look of peace settled on his face which 1 proclaimed victory, and she knew he
 was resting on mighty arm.
 l MT, Benjamin was between forty and
 forty. one years of age and had lived in 1 Falls Village for twenty years. He was
 a member of Montgomery lodge. <. and i A NJ, Lakeville, and of the Millerton l lodge I. Q. o. F. The funeral was held
 at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon, ] from the Methodist church, tho pastor, l Rev. MT. Ohown. and Rev. F. A. Hazel l tine, of the Congregational church off ciating. Rev. Mir Chown proacllel the sermon. Many members of the Jwo . secret societies to which 1Tr. Beuiomiu

New Dental Method

An association of dentists, with the
capital to back them, recently paid nine
ty thousand dollars for three Of the most
prominent dental Offices in Chicago.
An entirely new method has been
evolved upon which the charges for
work is based.
Instead of so much for filling, crown
or pivot tooth, the charge is made for
time consumed and the actual cost of
material.
The material is purchased directly
from the manufacturer, thereby saving
the jobbers' profit: 1t is thought this
will decrease the cost of dental work a
third or more.
Through old associations get my ma
terial at this greatly reduced price and,
so far as possible, shall adopt the above
method. This is my New Years propo-
sition. Get the best price you can any
where then come to me and will dis
count it. All work is guaranteed on new
lines. When you investigate this it will
appeal to you. One gentleman saved
$40. yesterday by paying me by the hour.
