zf-As.we travelled across the water our
objective point was to reach Greenoch
by g o'clock ON Sunday afternoon. AT
Greenoch the Clyde river enters the
sea-. The ): river is so marrow that
large steamers cannot 60 up it to
Glasgow except at high tide. We
we're twenty minutes late at Greenoch
but the pilot we took on board there
said that he thought it would be safe
for US to go as our cargo was light.
There was much rejoicing on the part
of the passengers when we commenc-
ed to move slowly up the river and
they knew that we would not have to
disembark at Greenoch.
The Clyde is SO narrow that VITO
steamers can just pass each other.
All along the river are great ship
building industries. 1t was a curious
thing there to see the evidences of SO
much activity and yet not to see even
lone workman or to hear the sound
of single hammer. 1t was peaceful

Upon this narrow river was launch
ed the great Cunarder, the Maureta-
MIA. When you see the river you mar
vie that such gigantic steamers have
been successfully launched there.
We entered Glasgow in a regular
Scotch mist and drizzle. The first
thing that everyone exclaimed about
were the tilted chimneys. These fun
ny little yellow cones stuck three and
four in row on top of the chimneys
looked like so many muchrooms. The
river threads through the city with
solid lines Of gray stone houses on
either side. The whole city has for

built on little hills:the houses hise in

Greenoch and Glasgow we could

Chamberlain. ~ The conscience
fund of the family of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
NJ. Alert, living in Lyman county has
been enriched to the extent of a one
dollar bill as the result of an incident
which occurred about twenty years
ago, and which had long since been
forgotten. Among the utensils in the
Albert kitchen twenty years ago were
a set of plated f~at-irons. During the
winter, when the house was heated
by a baseburner stove, Mrs. Albert
employed a hired girl. The girl in do
ing an ironing thought the kitchen
stove too slow and dumped the fiat
irons upon the Goals In the baseburner.
In a few minutes the irons were melt
ed to such All extent as to ruin them.
In the spring the girl left and Mrs.
Albert had forgotten her until recent
ly. when she was surprised to receive
a letter from a California town con-
tanning a one dollar bill. The letter
and money were from her bird girl OF
twenty years ago, the girl now being
married and quite wealthy. In the
letter she stated that her conscience
had troubled her during the interyen-
ing years because the f1at-irons were
ruined through her carelesness. She
stated further that she wanted to
make the loss good and believed that
a dollar would replace the irons now.

ened animal. The accident happened
near his home on the business street,

him as soon as his body was kicked
free and left behind the horse. He
was unconscious when picked up, and

New Mail Route PIeases.

Aberdeen.-Towns in western Per-
kins county are rejoicing over a new
overland mail route between Daviston
and Bison, the county seat, by which
it is o possible for residents of the
towns in that part Of the county to

reply within two days. Heretofore the
