WEST sCITUATE.

Mr.. f. b. Dexter has just returned from
few days fishing at Cape Cod.
Byron Page and family, have moved to
the Atwood Homestead on Danielson Pike.
A family bake was held at the home of
Mr. and Mrs Adelbert Barden on July 4.
The Gilbert Brown Farm on the Hart
ford Pike, has been sold to Mr. Drake, for
merly Of the Westcott District.
The large monument for the late Mrs
Millard Hopkins was shipped to North
Woodstock, Conn on Saturday to be
placed at her grave.
All members of North Scituate Grange
will meet at the home of Mrs. Allen
Angel on Monday morning next, to get
the hay crop harvested.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. T. Reynolds wish to
express thanks 70 all those who so kindly
assisted in the entertaining of guests at
their wedding anniversary, June 2Sth
The "Rube Social" held at the home OF
"Pop" Reynolds on the Trimtown road
on the evening of Friday, June 2Sth was
the crowning event of the season in a
social way. There were people from all
over the state and Massachusetts, also,
numbering about $50 guests. The "Rube"
costumes were grotesque in the extreme
and created no end of fun. Mr. Josiah
Spillikens and Miss ANIME Notlwonk took
the prize, silver Offering as the best
"Rubes" i'll the grand march. Music was
furnished by Mr.. Hiram Birdseed and
his orchestra OF violin, clarionet and piano.
Dancing was feature of the evening
and many a foot that had been staid and
dignfied for years, yielded to the magic
influence Of the music and glided over the
floor of the dance hall, renewing youth and
forgetting care and trouble. Mr.. Harry
Chase of Medway, Mass, and Mr.. Walter
Hopkins were most efficient as floor
directors. Miss Florence Pierce OF East
Providence, gave several instrumental
selections on the piano, receiving much
applause. Refreshments we're served at
II 80, consisting Of cake ice cream and
most delicious fruit punch In addition
to the dancing facilities indoors, a COM
modious platform was erected out Of doors
so the young people were able to dance by
moonlight, a pleasure much appreciated
by them. In fact it has been suggested
to "Pop" that he inauguiate a Series OF
summer festivals for the young people
and the older ones incidentally, This
desire arises from the fact that dancing is
dislked by some people, thereby
cutting off the young people from their
legitimate pleasure, for surely dancing be-
longs to youth. "Pop" Reynolds is a man
easily co-erced, where the pleasure of the
young people is concerned and they may
win victory in this case by holding
"home circle" dances at his place
"Pop" and Mrs. Reynolds were the reci-
pients of several handsome gifts and by
their pleasing hospitality, made everybody
welcome and anxious to come again.
Unity of purpose in a social way is an adj
\ >antage to any neighborhood, and this
worthy couple have set the pace in most
pleasing manner and are in position to
exert the right influence around the young
people who may congregate for innocen'
at their home. There being
no public place in this vicinity where such
can be held, the plan above
mentioned may take root and grow by the
of both old and young.

Discovering the Real Mexico.

Some Of the correspondents with the
army at Vera Cruz are acquiring a
knowledge of Mexico which they are
imparting to their readers to the bene-
fit of the public. They are learning
that cities founded by the conquering
Spanlards before jamestown or Ply
mouth began are not mere adobe vii
lagos, but are architecturally reminis-
cent of Spain in its heroic age. One
correspondent admits that all the pub.
lie buildings in Vera Cruz are good
"and compare favorably with what we
have at home"
II the scribes TO whom real Mexico
is a revelation keep on with their jour
neyings that may come to Puebla and
see the great professional library of
one hundred thousand volumes at
tached to the medical school. In the
City Of Mexico there are many struc-
lures that delight travelling architects.
Mexico is not all "militaristas" and
poems though its trouble has always
been too many Of the former There
are cultured people in Mexico who find
in culture refuge from the turmoil

It with a club. A party of farmers
started In pursuit of the animal over

HYPNOTISM FOR THE AlLlNG
Famous French Physician Claims TO
Be Able to Cure Many Of the
Ills OF Mankind.

DR. Bertillon OF Paris asserts that
psychotherapia, or soul-culture, is the
medicine of the future.
He does not put his patients into
hynotic frances, but places them in
an environment which creates an ap-
petite for sleep. He invites them TO
repose on their beds and think OF
nothing. Then he leaves them, and
they gradually succumb to the tick
tack of metronome.
When a patient is in a hypnotic
slumber, If ii is desired that he shall
be cured of n tendency to excessive
indulgence in alcohol, the psychother-
apist suggests to him that he cannot
raise a glass of absinthe to his lips.
and repeats the suggestion until the
prohibition is so engraved upon the
brain that If the patient would he
could not do so.
DR.. Bertillon is frequently consulted
by those who have had unhappy love
affairs, and it is said that through hyp-
notism they obtain release from their
unrequited passion.

Pigeons Fast Flight.

The Lanarkshire (Scotland) Homing
federation had a most successful race
from Dumfries the other week, and
many of the birds covered the distance
to their lofts at a speed of over sixty
miles an hour.
The fastest performance that has
been reported in the race was that of
pigeon belonging to Messrs. Steuart
Brothers of Larkhall which accom-.
plished the journey at the rate of fully
sixty-six miles an hour In pigeon
flying these fast velocities can only
be accomplished when the birds have
the wind behind them, and should a
pigeon have to face moderate head
wind its speed would be only about
thirty miles an hour.

Ancient Calf,

Awkward mistakes occur sometimes
through falling into certain manner
isms Of expression. A parson had a
habit of frequently saying for years

Of a sermon. He was preaching on
the Prodigal Son, and spoke of him sit
ting down in that far.off land thinking
Of the home that he had not see for
years and years and years"
That was all right, but presently he
spoke of the welcome to his old home,
and of the calf which his father had

"Yes," said he, dropping into his f&
yorite cadence for the winding up of a
sentence: Yes, the calf which he had

WORK TOGETHER.

The temperance platform is as
broad as the earth and as wide as the
world. Its limits are marked only
where liquor ceases to flow. There Is
room on that platform for all; nor can
any race, creed or nationality monopo-
lie It. It is a signal fact and propi'
tious sign of the times that the Cath
olic priest and the Protestant minis
ter can, and do. stand side by side,
shoulder to shoulder, on that plat
form. The cause is Gods and human
itys. We shall battle for the cause
whether on the lower plane of temper
ance or on the higher ground OF total
abstinence; whether in the lesser ranks
or in the larger files Of national move
ments; we shall battle for the cause

CITY AND NATIONS WEALTH.

"The wealth of the city is not in Its
buildings, not in its banks, but In the
boys and girls and the ideals In their
lives. These ideals are the things
that we neglect most"
This is not quoted from sermon
or temperance lecture; 1t is the Ian
guage of the first assistant district at
torney of New York city in an address
delivered before a gathering of pro-
feeslonal men who cheered II to the
echo. The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union believes in raising the
standard of American citizenship
through the conservation Of these
ideals. Says Mrs. l.. II. N. Stevens,
national president Of that organiza.
ton: blessed is the state which rec.
ognizes as its chief asset its young

NO SORHeNDEHl
In every moral struggle foreign
born citizens have fought with native
Americans to bring victory TO the
cause OF righteousness. Many foreign
born citizens are today struggling with
native Americans to crush the saloon,
but, unfortunately, numbers of native
Americans Join the enemies OF law and
order and sobriety and bring defeat
to the cause of righteousness. 1t is
pltiable that descendants of Revolu'
tionary heroes and warriors Of later
wars say we must surrender to the
blind pig keeper and bootlegger. They
haul down the stars and stripes and let
the lawbreakers hoist the black flag
OF riot and ruin.
Every license vote is a white flag
OF surrender to the lawbreakers.

ized, will not surrender to anarchists.
