We learn something every day and of late it has been the awfulness of the automobile in various ways. Now comes w. A. Greeson, superintendent of the public schools of Grand Rapids Michigan who believes that the effect of buzz wagon riding when carried to the ex- treme, that sometime happens is far from wholesome.

A farmer out in Germantown, Colum- bia County, N. Y has sued the state to recover the cost of 150 baskets of cherries he claims the robins ate off his tree. He modestly charges 35 cents per quart for the cherries, sold everywhere for from 10 to 15 cents per quart, and excuses the price on the ground that the robins are protected by the state. .-at. !, The robins are yet to be heard from Were they to file a counter claim for damages against the farmer, charging a cent apiece for each caterpillar, worm and insecs they have destroyed on his farm and then charge him with the grain they have, saved him through such service and credit his entire bill against the account ,and insist on his paying them the balance in cherries at half the price he charges the state, he'd have to nortage his farm to pay the bill and give note to meet the balance.
 When the farmer learns that the robin is his best friend in destroying insects on the farm he wont begrudge the faithful little worker and songster what he eats.
 Penuriousness of that stamp is on par with stealing pennies off dead mans eyes, but, alas there are farmers, even in the state of New York who are so small in their dealings with their help, in cluding even the birds, that 10000 of their souls would be lost on the point of a cambric needle. E-
 It will be intersting to see what the court of claims will do with that robi n suit when the case comes to trial.

Recently the auto has been charged with many crimes. It has been accused of making business bad in general mer- cantile lines, of leading men and women into improvidenoe, of being responsible for mortaged homes and furniture.
 Now comes the suggestion that they are dstrimental to the morals of young persons of both sexes. The ease with which distance may be covered in an auto and the natural restraints of the home surroundings left behind, it is argued, leads boys and girls to in- discretions into which otherwise they never would be led.

 An up country exchange says that "a Lee conductor, while collecting fares on a trolley car, was struck by an automobile.
 That's nothing to what is feared will happen to the conductor who rings up the first fare on the trolley line between Canaan and Sheffield. He's likely to be struck by old age.

 Well, what of it? The Democratic party has stood Pat for a good many years and we guess the Republi- can party can stand Pat if the Demo cracy can.

The service for shut-ins at the Penney

was unique among religious services.
Several hundred people were present,
MANY were over 20 years old, some
were owe, so and few were over 80.
There was present one real daughter

! Christian IS years; one who had been
member of that church 60 years.
Many Gthcrs reported who had through
faith conquered difficulties. endured at
nictions and waxed valiant in Christian
service. DIR. Gray preached a happy.
brilliant sermon that sent all away
with joy in their hearts. Mr.. Allen was
at his best and sung some of the old
songs as one rarely hears them rem
dcrcd 1T was a splendid service, very
lirely TIE last enc that many present
Yesterday will ever attend. Carriages
and automobiles carried those unable
,, to walk to and from the meetings and
their homes.
Last nights service at City hall was
the concluding service of the series.
The chorus and congregation gave the
evanGelists the Chautauqua salute as
thew came to the platform. After the
service many pressed forward to press
the hand of the evangelists and bid
trem God speed. Mr.. Gray and Mr.. AL
len took the 1890 train for Somerville,
many going with them to the station
and sang God Be With You Till We
Meet Again" as the train pulled out.
Before the sermon last night DR..
Gray gave a practical exhortation to
CT
their UNCONVENTIONAL papers, attend the
prayer meetings of their church, to
stand by their pastors and to let their
profession manifest itself in deeds OF
practical righteousness.
A set of resolutions thanking all who
| had contributed to the success of the
meetings by making it possible for City
| hall to be had for the meetings was
passed.
DIR. Gray spoke last night from John
