The Absent Minded Girl

Falls Village claims the banner for having the most absent minded girl in the state. The other day she went up to the Twin Lakes for an outing. Leay- ing her shoes on float she waded around in the water for some time, and, finally returning to the float sat down and be- gan putting on her shoes and stockings. Having finished laoing one shoe she lowered her foot and did not realize that the water of the lake was wet until the limb buried itself, shoe, stocking and all in, two feet of water. Then there was some lively hustling and a most aggravated young lady who had to go home in imitation of the nursery hero, with "one shoe off and the other shoe on" Now all of her friends are guying her for not donning bathing suit when she dons her stockings and shoes on the lake floats.

SAMUEL ], ADAMS
Prominent Characteristics of a . We'll Known Citizen, Re- centIy Deceased.

The late Samuel Judson Adams was killed by accident on the railroad within a mile of West Cornwall the 29th of July last. His funeral was from the old homestead, the 31st, where he was born, reared and spent all his life.
 His father bought the farm in 1908, built the house in 1sI2, left three child rsn, of which John Quincy Adams, alone survives, lawyer of distinction in northern Michigan. s
 Samuel Judson married Louise Dibble, daughter of a large land owner of Corn- wall in 1858, had five children, of whom three remain, Judson of Cornwall, Mrs Cora Shepherd, wife of William E.. Shepherd, who resided with her father, having the care of him to his day of death. Ernest still lives on the home stead, the youngest survivor.
 Samuel J. Adams had been an expert beekeeper from his sixteenth year, with a passion for following a bee line over the mountains, through forests to the swarm. .....
 He made the first deposit of money when the Falls Village Savings Bank was started. He suggested to the rail road officials the needed improvements of stone embankmsnts along the river, which were adopted not long after. He was & man of decided opinions, con victions of principle and enthusiasm in Christian religion, worthy the respectful remembrance of his family and neigh bors.
 He joined the Baptist church at Falls Village and when that disbanded he joined the Congregational church there, remaining up to the close of his life. a prayerful and righteous man and. public spirited citizen.
 His memory was unusually exact and retentive, and. always at the service of the honest and just, to prevent wrong being done to his neighbors. He abhorred sham and intrigue with all his intense nature, which was akin to that of the old prophets of Israel.
 His body was inferred in the Corn wall cemetery, followed by a big con course of citizens, expressing esteem sympathy and profound regret for th' sad termination of useful life.

SCOTLAND WANTS
 TO GOVERN SELF.
Tired of Being Ruled by LOn-
 don, Say Lawmakers.

Now it is Scotland that demands home rule. Twenty-one Liberal mem- bers of the British parliament from Scotland have issued a manifesto de claring that the time has come when that country should be ruled by the Scotch people.
 Scotland's particular grievance is that the country is too often legislated for as an after thought. They add that parliament gives no adequate time to the discussion of Scotch affairs - in other words, that the country gets short shrift in matters of vital impor- tance. They now demand that they be permitted to manage their own affairs In their own way instead of having them managed from London.
 The manifesto declares that Scotland Is getting tired of being governed by absentee legislators. Whether the de- mand will receive consideration at the hands of the ministry remains to be seen. Probably the question of home rule for Ireland is about as much as the government cares to take up at lhis time. Scotland will probably have to wait until after the ancient Irish grievance is settled.
