Kept Himself from Escaping.
One of the most famous Of the old
Puritan divines was DR.. Mather Byles,
who was born in Boston in 1706 and
who was the first pastor of the Hollis
Street Congregational church, to
which he ministered for more than 40
years
Dr. Byles was famous as humorist
and wit, and innumerable anecdotes
are related of his clever quips and re-
torts He was jealous Tory and
warmly advocated the cause of the
mother country" against the colonies.
In November, 1777, he was arrested as
a Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be confined on board guard ship
and sent to England with his family
within 40 days. The sentence was
afterward committed by the board of
war to confinement in his own house,
guard being placed over him with
instructions not to permit him to leave
his residence for moment under any
circumstances.
On Thanksgiving morning, observ-
ing that the sentinel, who, like many
of the colonial soldiers, was a simple
rustic, had disappeared and that Dr..
Byles himself was pacing up and
down before his own door with mus
ket on his shoulder, the neighbors
crossed the street to inquire the cause
of this singular spectacle.
you see," said DR.. Byles, Il begged
my guard to let me go out to procure
some cider with which myself and
family might celebrate Thanksgiving
day; but he would not permit me to
stir. l argued the point with him, and
he has now gone to get the cider for
me on condition that I keep guard
over myself during his absence

WHITE WAY ON THE FARM.
With Only Five Families Missouri
Village Has Electric Lights.


Yarrow is probably the smallest vii
lage in Missouri that has an electric
light plant, Kirksville (Mo.) CORE
spondent of the Kansas City Star says.
The population of Yarrow consists of
the families of a groceryman, black
smith, miller and two retired farm
ers. Each family has its home brill
liantly lighted by electricity.
The electric light plant is owned
and operated by Michael Weber, who
has for twenty years or more run an
old-fashioned water mill at Yarrow
Mr.. Weber is an inventive man and
recently he conceived the idea of at
taching his water machinery to a ten
horsepower dynamo and making cleo
tricity for himself and neighbors. A
dynamo was installed at a nominal
cost and for the first time in the his
tory of the village of Yarrow cleo
trio lights were turned on recently.
Mr.. Weber says he expects to put
in larger dynamo and to light the
entire southwest corner of Adair coun-
". He says further that the Charlton
river as a source of water power
should be developed, as it has great
possibilities for Kirksville and other
towns near the stream. He is inter.
ested in project to put 100000
dam across the Charlton west OF
Kirksville and to install modern
power plant.
The dam that now furnishes power
for his mill is only seven feet high
and was built in 1S49. For years il
furnished the power for an old-fash
toned under shot water wheel, but
more recently he has installed two
wheels of comparatively late pattern
which now give him approximately
seventy-five horsepower, which is suf
ficient for grinding corn and buck
wheat and running the dynamo for his
light plant.

FRENCH MAID OF ALL WORK.
MuItifarious Duties of Bonnie ON a
Salary of SO a Month.


In Paris the post of servant is not an
easy one; this is, of course, judging
the household to be one Of ordinary
means, with one maid or two at the
very most An average French fam-
lily having an income between $4,000
and $4,000 francs year (Which IS
considered comfortable here) will en-
ploy one maid She is known as
bonnie a tout faire, maid of all work,
and the care of the entire household
falls to her Blanche Alder Van Bu-
rem, writing in the Woman Beautiful,
says she rises at about 6 o'clock,
cleans the boots, brushes skirts and
coats and prepares the traditional
French breakfast of coffee and rolls.
She then takes the little ones TO
school, as no children of good family
go out alone. Upon her return mad
anne perhaps has Strengthened the bed
rooms and is ready to go out to mar
ket with the maid Sometimes the
bonnie does the buying alone, espe-
cially when she has been with the
family some time or has gained the
confidence of her mistress. When
luncheon is safely on it's way the mis-
tress keeps an eye on it's progress while
the bonnie goes for the children.
Luncheon is the first important meal
in the French home and consists OF
an egg or meat dish, a salad, vege-
table and dessert of cheese or fruit,
always ending with coffee. If the
children are not allowed to drink this
they are given canard (duck), which
is lump of sugar dipped in coffee.
In the afternoon, when all is quiet,
the bonnie dresses neatly and settles
down to do the mending for the en-
tire family and to be ready to answer
the doorbell Soon it is time to bring
the little ones home from school,
after which she must prepare the
evening meal
| Many families give the maid her
leisure after dinner, but this is a re-
cent innovation In certain families
| the maid is still required to remain
in the evening to light chance guests
down the stairs, for the house lights
usually are extinguished at 10:30, and
the invisible janitress pulls cord
near her bed to let the people in or
out after that hour This is tradition
and when mistress allows her
maid entire freedom after dark she
| is departing from an old custom.
l. The maid in France works hard and
is allowed very limited leisure; she
| is supposed to have every other Sun
day afternoon and that is all. For

Telephone operators who plug wrong

Too Sick to Be Nursed.

The old maxim to the effect that if
you are going to do thing at all
you should do it thoroughly, applies
with particular force to the case Of
nursing. In that profession none but
a professional or an experienced anna
teur has any right to NEEDLE. The
Washington Star tells story to the
point.
In a Cape Town hospital, after
luncheon one day, an earps daughter
fastened down the aisles of beds to-
ward her favorite soldier, only to find
him asleep, with this scrawl pinned
on the counterpane:
Deere Lady Maude too i'll to be
nursed to-day most respectfully T. Ad-

Eskimo Candy.

Tallow is the Eskimo's candy. 1t is
put up in bright red packages made out
of the feet of water fowl. The women
cut off the red feet of this bird, which
is called the dovekie, draw out the bones
and blow up the skin so as to make
pouches which they fill with the reindeer
tallow for their little folk. None of the
food that the Eskimos eat seems very
inviting to us, but they are extremely
fond Of it and are very apt to overeat.
1t is said by explorers who have gone
into Greenland that it is no uncommon
sight to see an Eskimo man who has
eaten an enormous meal of the raw,
frozen flesh of the reindeer, seal Of wal
rus lying on his back and eating blubber
until he cannot move.-Fur News.

DROPS A TITLE.
ViscounteSs Chelsea Prefers Name OF
Hon. Lady Lambton.

41OIl Lduy Ad1HUAO4l.
Viscountess Chelsea, who married Tico.
Admiral Sir Hedworth Lambton the 9th
er day in London. Immediately on his
return from a stay of several years in
the far east as commander in chief Of
Great Brtain's naval forces in the
China seas and the Pacific, has caused
it to be intimated that she has dropped
the name and title of ViscounteSS Chel-
sea and wishes henceforth to be known
as the Hon. Lady Lambton. Her life
with the late Lord Chelsea was not al
together happy. He was always get
ting into scrapes of a financial charac-
ter. some CT them not altogether sayOry,
and which reached the ears of the public
through his litigation with money lend
ers. His death was a relief to his rela-
tlves, especially to his widow, who is
likely to be much happier in her new
matrimonial venture, the elimination of
a romance of long standing. Sir He'd
worth. the sailor brother of Lord Dur
ham. was in command of the naval con-
tingent in the defense Of Ladysmith.
Had it not been for the sailors and for
their big guns which they had brought
up at the last minute from LambtOn's 8
cruiser Powerful and Sir Percy Scott's
cruiser Terrible at Durham, mounted on
carriages ingeniously and specially de
signed for the emergency by these two
officers. Ladysmith never would have
been able to hold out against the Beers
until relieved. Hedworth Lambton was
justly regarded as the hero of the siege,
and on his return to England, in addition
to being appointed to the command of
the royal yacht and decorated, he was
presented by Queen Victoria with a
gold watch and chain as a personal me-
mento. the watch bearing her monogram
and crown in brilliants. with the inscrip-
ton "Ladysmith, 1900"
