let her right hand know what her
left hand did. But she was always
getting up boxes and other gifts TO
help her pupils in their teaching.
remember that last winter she sent
of two splendid Christmas boxes
for schools 10 two Of her former
pupils. She would often come TO
the library, take me by the arm and
tell me ] must come over and see
what fine box she was packing
for so-and-so. regret now that I
sometimes thought ! was too busy
tO go.
Through her childhood and youth
Mrs. Dlnsmore was very frail. But
her great ambition was TO be a
teacher. Her only sister had died
in young womanhood, and because
Of this loss and Mrs. Dinsmore's
frallty her parents did not wish her
TO teach. So she never realized this
strong desire until after she mar
i'e'l "A teacher, and came TO Berea.
! am sure that those who have
been her pupils will agree with me
when | say that she was truly
great teacher. For she had the
ability 10 enthuse her pupils and
to make them love the subject they
were studying. Many have told me
that she had opened a new world TO
them in books.
Once in her English literature
class she had her pupils learn Ad-
dIson's great hymn beginning:
The spacious armament on high.
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens. shining
frame,
Their great original proclaim"
and she suggested TO them that
when they had learned it, they
should go out at night and repeat it
to themselves under the starry
skies. Some time after, she asked
how many had done 50, and was de-
lighted to find that large proper
ton of the class had given them
selves that interesting experience.
Mrs. DinsmOre was a keenly in
tcllectual woman; she was a con-
slant reader and student of current
events. She was Interested in ev-
crythlng that went on in the world.
One of my most vivid recOllec-
tions of her will always be her
work in the library with her stu
dents. She would spend hours with
them, showing them how to use re-
ference books, how to find what was
in book. teaching them how to
study. And when the spring came
and they were leaving to go out to
teach. she would go down to the
extension room" in the library and
spend several evenings with them,
helping them select books, papers,
and magazines to take with them,
and showing them how they could
make use OF the material.
The last work she did with them
in this way last spring was done in
the midst of her preparations to
move and when many people would
have thought they could not spare
the time. The last evening she
came upstairs and said she was
very tired indeed, but with enthu-
siasm told me she had distributed
in that one evening more than 1000
pieces, books, papers or magazines.
That is wonderful record to keep
as my last official recollection of
Mrs. DinsmOre.
Let us cherish her memory and
try to live according to her high |
ideals.

The 9Th Of September 1903 was

days that visit this region occasion
ally during the first part Of Septem-
Der. At that time the two day trains
passed at Berea, and IL one was late,
the other waited for IL. That day
the train from the north arrived
first and waited some distance from
the station. A lady and young
girl walked over the scorching rails
and ties to this train, climbed upon
the platform and came through the
cars, scrutinizing the faces of the
few passengers. At last they paused
before very weary and travel-soil-
ed lady and asked her il she were

Mrs. Dinsmore and the young lady

mother had recently passed away.
We were carried in the auburn"

General Prohibition in Sweden.
Sweden is on the eve of adopting
national prohibition Of the use of
alcoholic beverages and the use OF
tobacco. This is the outcome of a
series of years in which the govern
ment has had the benefit of the
studies of scientists of high repute,
who have embodied their views in
various prohibitory laws. The re-
suit has been so eminently satisfac-
tory from economic and social
standpoint that legislation is being
framed with the ultimate idea OF
universal prohibition of the use of
these two articles in the near future
throughout the whole country. Swe-
den has been a leader in advanced
measures for the welfare of its peo-
pie for many years. In 1876 the ex-
hibit of Sweden at the Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia of adj

A MERCY SUNDAY.
A Plea 10 do Our Duty Towards the
Unfortunate Children and Cru
ely Treated Animals Of
This Land.

Extracts from leaflet by the
American Humane Association
The organized humanitarians of
The United States, representing over
three hundred societies devoted 10
the suppression Of cruelty and the
protection Of the helpless, with a
membership Of over $1,000 persons,
most earnestly petition all clergy
men in this country 10 devote one
sermon each year to the subject Of
Mercy" for the purpose Of making
an appeal 10 the most enlightened
and humane instincts Of the people
of this country in behalf Of more
lhoughtfulness and greater compass
sion for our helpless wards,-suffer-
ing and neglected children and dumb
animals.
The extent 10 which the children
of this land suffer from cruel and
blighting conditions or the degree
~ misery, suffering and death which
mans hcartlessness. cupidity and
ignorance metes out Ia the animal
life in our midst is not generally
Nlcalized. Certainly not one-tenth
VI the cases Of inhumanity come to
the attention Of the anti-cruelty so
cieties and yet the last collected
statistics for this country show that
over 2i0,OO0 children and more
than f,350,O0 animals were cared
for by these societies in single
year. That these eases were not
merely sentimental ones is album
dainty proved by the fact that there
were over 5000 prosecutions in
court with very large percentage
IT convictions.
We plead for a word from the
pulpit in favor Of those unfortu-
nate children who have no chance
IN life, who are brought up in how
els or under conditions directly in
furious TO their health, mind and
morals; in behalf OF the 100000
children between the ages OF ten
and nftcen years, as shown BY the
census Of 1890. who are compelled
a. work for wages in the United
states; in behalf Of the thousands
and tens Of thousands of little chill
dren who are also obliged TO work
IN damp and unhealthy mines. or in
equally unhealthy glass factories, or
are obliged 10 toll by day and some
times by night IN the factories and
shops Of the land Children brought
up under these conditions are stunt
ed in body and mind. They do not
have the opportunities for educa-
ton. for rest aud recreation, for the
normal moral growth which is nee
cssary for good citizenship.
There are thousands Of children
IN the reformatories OF the United
states who are victims Of condi-
tons which they did not create. but
which the people Of the United
states can control. In saving these
children we are saving this nation.
We plead for the speeches. crea-
lures Of God. The conditions in re-
gard To the poor brutes have been
even worse than they have been for
the children, as far as the extent
and degree Of brutality is concern

SEVERE THUNDER STORM
PASSES OVER CITY

For the second time within the week
an electrical storm of less severity
than the previous one descended on
Waterville, a few minutes before 8
o'clock. There were frequent and
bright flashes of lightning One of the
brightest burned out the motor at the
Fort Halifax station and in order to
repair il and cut the wires, it was
necessary to cut off the light supply
in the city, except the ornamental
street lights in the business section.
The lights We're off for almost half
an hour while the crew remedied the
trouble at the station.
Telephone service was discontinued
during the heaviest part. of the storm.
The lightning put about 20 lines out
or commission, and the ringing power
was lost While the lightning was most
severe. The operators left the switch
boards because during such storms
there is a possibility of receiving a
sock that may follow the wires. There
was no special downpour of rain. 1t
fell in steady, moderate drops Early
in the evening one of the FIVE cir
cults on the fire alarm system was
crippled by the lightning. but this
was repaired by City Engineer Craw-
FORD as soon as possible.

tortionate charges for souvenirs and
other articles generally purchased by
visitors at such gatherings.
Elaborate set-pieces, of a patriotic
nature, bombs, rockets and all sorts
of modern fireworks will constitute the
display TO be given the Grand Army
veterans. The display will be given
on the night of September and will
be from barges anchored near the foot
of Belle Isle, in plain view of those on
the island, on either shore, and in
boats below the point of the island
By using barges for the entire display,
the committee hopes to avoid acct
dent of any kind to spectators.
A monster chorus of 1000 children's
voices will be heard. These youngsters
will be stationed in a grandstand along
the line of parade, which will be held
the morning of September 2, and as
the veterans file by they will sing
America tTenting on the Old Camp
Ground" Marching Through Georg-
Ia, star Spangled Banner" My own
United States and Rally Round the
Flag" The children are now being
instructed by Thomas Chilvers, super
visor of music in the Detroit public
schools, assisted by the school teach
ers and instructors at the numerous
Fairgrounds in the city.
A spirited contest is on between
Michigan, Indiana and Ohio as to
which will have the greatest number
of veterans in line on the day of the
parade. The parade will be the morn
ing of September 2. While Michigan
has the advantage of location, she has
but 5000 members of the Grand Army
from which to recruit a marching
force, while Indiana has 1900 and
Ohio $4,000.
An automobile division will be one
of the features of the parade. The To-
cal organization has been advised that
the committee in charge of the Detroit
encampment will provide from 300 tc
500 automobiles, as many as are re-
quired, all donated by the owners in
the leading auto city of the world, for
the use of the manned and disabled
soldiers.
This will be a welcome innovation to
the old soldiers, an increasing num-
Der of whom each year are compelled
to assume the role of spectators. This
plan has been suggested at encamp-
ments in the past, but there never
have been sufficient automobiles avail
able, hence it has never been carried
out 1t is expected that 10000 veter-
ans OF he Civil war will attend the
encampment this year. Owing to the
extreme feebleness of many they will
be accompanied by younger relatives
and these with those of auxiliary or
papizationS will swell the number of
visitors to 10000.

Not a cent Of the money necessary

At the suggestion of the mayor in his
annual message, the amount to be used
was placed upon the tax rolls, making
the event one in which every taxpayer
has a financial as we'll as a personal
interest. This plan will, no doubt, be
copied by cities throughout the country
in financing conventions and en-
campments.
There will be but one official pro-

committee. A total of $4,000 of these
will be issued, 10000 of which will go
to the 5000 Grand Army posts in the
country. The others will be kept for
free distribution during the encamp-
ment. No advertising Of any kind APP
