Drives Away Intruder

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1 hope that you will sympathize with
me. for I lost my nice little dog Tony.
He. was a black Spitz, and loved him.
He would pull my doll buggy around
the yard. He also would play tag and
other games. When one day after l
had played with him he disappeared
and would not come back in the house
for the night, but as we have two
porches / thought he would sleep there
and hot in the rain.
About midnight we heard him bark,
but we all thought cat had wakened
him up, and we went to sleep again.

II The News of Somerset's Busy Towns ~

Der of sixteen took part in the exer-
cises. but a small company compared
with those who have been mustered
out
The procession was formed at Odd
Fellows Hall in the following order:
The band, Quinnebasset Lodge MEM
bers to the number of fifty or more,
members of Somerset Rebekah Lodge
with fully as large a delegation, Span
ish War veterans. the G. A. r. and
the children upon whom the deep
significance of the day has not yet
impressed itself. but who will in later
years of life when the G. A. K. Is no
more, look back in sad remembrance to
! the decoration day when they marched
behind the last remnant of the boys
in blue. At the cemetery on the south
side the impressive services of the
day were held, ranks were broken for
the decoration of the graves. AT the
completion of the G. A. r. exercises
the ceremony of decoration was per
! formed by the Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs, of the graves of departed sis
tiers and brothers. On the return
march the soldiers monument at
Monument square was decorated ana
the last salute fired.
The address was given by Rev. j. H.
Webster of Newport, Dept. Chaplain
and was one of the finest ever heard
here MIR. Webster was truly one OF
the boys in blue, being only fifteen
years of age when he went into the
service. After the address the lines
were reformed and the march con-
tinued to the Odd Fellows Hall COM
pleting the exercises. The music was
furnished in most creditable manner
! by our local band. The following is
a list of those in the south side ceme-
terry whose graves were decorated and
we hope at later issue to be able to
give the names Of the thirty four
whose last resting place is in the
North Side Cemetery: Charles w.

Relic of French Revolution.

The knife of the guillotine used at
the execution of Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette has been discovered in the
museum of private collector in Brus-
sells. This gruesome relic seems well
authenticated, says the London Globe.
From a note by NJ Gustave Babin
in the Illustration it seems that NJ.
Dubois, Director des Halles de Brux-
elles, acquired it by purchase in 1S43
from Nine. ROch. widow of the execu-
teur des hautes Oeuyres. Up to this
time Nine. Roch declared that it had
never passed out of her possession
The late NJ. Deibler claimed it. but as
he would not pay the widow refused to
accede to his request. He complained
to the minister of justice. with the re-
suit that the widow was desired to
take the blade to the archives. But
as the state seemed to emulate Nj.
Deibler's parsimony the widow stuck
TO her grim souvenir and sold it to
NJ. Dubois
The humorous side of this relic fol-
lows, but we must first complete the
title. NJ. Roch received the knife from
his predecessor. NJ Hemdereich. who
himself had obtained it from Henri
Samson. the last descendant of the
dynasty Of this name. Now. Henri
Samson was the grandson of the exc
cutioner of the hapless king and
queen.
He was dismissed from his high Of
flee on account of a scandal. The exc
cutioner, suffering from the res
augusta" had to raise a loan, and his
fertility of ideas succeeded where
most men would have failed. and to
tell the truth he pawned the guillotine
