Think Of Thee.
think of thee when Morning springs
From sleep, with plumage bathed in
dew,
And, like a young bird, lifts her wings
OF gladness on the welkin blue.
And when, at noon,. the breath of love
Ger flower and stream is wandering
free,
And sent in music from the grove,
I think of thee-I think of thee!
think of thee when, soft and wide.
The Evening spreads her robes OF
light,
And, like young and timid bride,
Sits blushing in the arms of Night.
And when the moons sweet crescen,
In light DER Heavens deep. wave
less sea,
And stars are forth, like blessed things.
1 think of thee-I think of thee
think of thee-that eye of flame,
Those tresses, falling bright and free,
That brow, where Beauty writes her
name

Winter.
But winter has yet brighter scenes-h-
boasts
Splendors beyond what gorgeous sum-
mer knows.
Or autumn with his many fruits and
woods
All flushed with many hues. Come
when the rains
Have glazed the snow, and clothed the
trees with ice,
While the slant sun of February pours
Into the bowers flood of light. APP
proach!
The encrusted surface shall upbear thy
steps
And the broad arching portals of the
grove
Welcome thy entering. Look! the mos

Are cased in the pure crystal, each

they move.

Often the person who is most fright
ened at the awfulness of a wedding is
not the bride or the groom, but the
best man. On him there rests the re-
sponsibility of a stage manager who is
anxious for his star actor to make his
exits and his entrances just right
What may happen in the way of nerve
Louisville Courier-Journal in the fol-
lowing story:
The best man was getting more
f1ustered every minute. Finally they
arrived at the altar, and the minister
began saying the all-important words.
He looked at the best man, awaiting
the production of the ring.
The bridegroom fixed him with stony
gaze, and the bride turned her plead
ing eyes upon him, too.
The hand of the best man stuck in
the depths of his trousers pocket
regular" best men carry the rings in
their right hand waistcoat pockets,
you know,-and when he brought it
forth it was empty.
The bridegroom increased the stoni-
ness of his stare, and the high collar
of the best man became slightly more
suffocating and little more wilted.
Once more he thrust hand into the
recesses of his trousers pocket, and
once more there was nothing there.
The delay was getting noticeable,
and people in the back seats leaned
forward to see if the bride had not
tainted. Desperate, the bridegroom
determined to wait no longer, but in
tone that was distinctly heard by
nearly everybody there he said fierce.
ly:
You, Jerry, give me that ring!"
That sounded so natural that the un
happy best man just simply found it
right away and gave it up; and then
they were married and lived happy
ever after.

Picking a Horse.


A British cavalry officer, speaking
of horses, said:
Give me free hand and should
pick a roan-that is, for good temper
and quick learning. Dark grays and
blacks are mostly strong and hardy,
and so are dark chestnuts. AS a gen.
cral rule, light chestnuts and light
bays are nervous and delicate. A rusty

Stockings as they call them. Yon

a bad I'm, two white legs you may sell
to a friend, three white legs you may
trust for time, four white legs you
may lay your life on
This does not agree with an old
Yankee saying:
One white foot, buy him;
Two white feet, try him;
Three white feet, look well about
him;
Four white feet. go on without
him.
Now, however, the American idea is
similar to that of the sergeant. and

One of the Bright, Young Men Whose
 Work was Highly Appreciated by The
 News Readers and by his Co-Work-
 CTS on the Paper.
 An article on the History of Canaan Journalism would be incomplete with out proper acknowledgement of the ser vice done by Harry M. Doty, now the efficient editor of the Chatham, N. Y. Courier.
 Harry Doty came to the editorial desk of THE NEWS at an opportune time in it's history. He brought to that desk great energy, tireless spirit for work and good knowledge of newspaper work. In this field his abilities were thoroughly tried and he was in no sense found want ing. He gave to the columns of THE NEWS the spice of his own personality. He worked hard to build it up wherever he found it defective. His strong mental grasp of details and his earnest enthus- iasm told in many ways, and when he left'THE NEWS, at the completion of a we'll rounded out period of service, it was to the regret of a host of friends he had made by his courtesy and affable

it is in great measure to his earnestnesa and zeal that TIE NEWS to-day owes it's success.
 AS the head of the jobbing department of the paper, as well as it's business manager, MT. Pease brings to bear the experience aud ability of practical printer, and that his judgment and skill is appreciated, the large amount of work done in the jobbing department of the NEWS amply test flies. Also as manager of it's stationary aud mercantile department. MT. Pease has proved his efficiency. He has de- monstrated it along practical lines and at times when executive ability and good judgment were the necessary re. quisite to success. Respected by the entire force of the NEWS family, we know that under his guiding hand the

The Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church has been long established in Canaan and has many ad- herents to it's faith. It is ably served by the Rev. T. F.

Although not as pre- tentious ill its adornment, exteriorly as are many churches, 1t is comfortable and cozy, and is doing and long has done a splendid work among its communicants here. who comprise some of the best known and respected citizens of the town.

 The pastor, the Rev E. o. Gillette, is one of the earnest, thoughtful preachers of this section Of the state. Although young man. he has attained wide influence and his sermons are mosaics of faultless diction, and heart searching in their effect. He is pop ular, and is doing grand work among his people and for the village of Canaan.
 The Episcopal Church
 The Episcopal church is another of Canaan's pretty church edifices, and numbers within it's fold large number of Canaan people. It is strong in many ways and has been a great help to the spiritual up building Of the village. Its rector, the Rev. J. P. Smyth, is active, earnest and true, and is much liked among his people and is doing a splendid work here.
 A cut of the church may be found on the ninth page of THE NEWS.

Church life always has played an inn portant part in the history of towns, states and nations. From the primitive houses of worship of the earlier time is but short step to the palatial struc- lures of to-day. In some sections the churches are more orn9te than in others, but each has it's center of usefulness, and whether it be of brick. granite or wood, it serves it's purpose and meets the long felt want.

The history of towns life is often embraced in the history of it's schools, and Canaan is no exception to the rule. High upon the record of fame has been written the names of many of her flaw ored sons, who, starting life in modest circumstances and attending the early schools, in later years won positions of honor and distinction in nation and in state.

Enlarged Facilities

In 1877 the old school building was erected on Granite avenue. This lasted until 1881, when it gave place to still larger structure, and this in turn was superseded by one of greater size, which answered the purpose for time, until the increased population of the town de- manded stili larger building and the present high school building was erected, shown among the illustrations of this page.
