STORY RITEN'
BY the Messenger Boy

There is a numerous fellow that
went all through the DR.. Stow cam
paign, and he often tells us Webster's s
Union boys jokes when we take a
message to him. Onst he said he was
conductin a prayer meetin in the
country and one of the little farmer
boys pinned the ends of his coat tail
around the leg of chair, .and when
he went to get up, it upset and most
everybody laiIed.
One time | asst him how he KEEP in
so good temper with everybody
botherin him. He said you ought to
be so too, for this is a bright and
happy world we live in, and every
thing has a cheerful aspeck if you
only look at it that way My life is
laid in pleasant paths, he said, and
so is yourn if you think so. ] told him
IT wasn't very nice path when / had
to go out on a muddy day to Pen
brook or some of the surbubs with a
message to deliver.
He said things is as you make EN-.
Jist then there was a awful scream
from somewhere near and | asst what
it was, and then there was a series of
yells that Jagged your ears before he
had time to tell it was only the den
tist pullin teeth in the back of the
buildin. / was askin him how often
1t happened and he was tellin me
about half q dozen times day some
days, when new sound come from
some other place near.
It was varygated racket from list
a little iiggle toa horrid shreek, and
was repeated, but never the same
way ard sometimes there was pianna
notes mixed up in it. My friend said
il was jist a vockel studyo where les
sins was give to old maids that was
learnin to sing, and he said it was a
offset to the dentist parlor at the
back, and the two noises balanced
each other.

THE coLuH,GE EXAMINATIONS

From the young people away at colleges and schools. many reports come back of long hours spent cram ming for mid-yea examinations. Stu dents who have slipped along easily, gorge themselves with facts ,and ex- pect to make a good showing.
 College and school heads are bright people. and they hand out an examination paper quite different from what the pupil expects. He expects to be called upon to give mostly names, dates ,and dry facts But the real test of school work is no mere feat of memory.
 It is of very little consequence, for instance, for a student to be able to tell in what year Thomas Jefferspn became a president. But he is 8 poor pupil in history if he cannot give in his own words a, general idea of Jefferson's s influence in the forming of the American govern ment. A we'll arranged examination paper -test4 general int diligence on such questions, and preparation for such an examination is acquired only by persistent daily work,

GRATEFUL TO U. S., KING ALBERT CABLES


 New York, Feb. 1.-The following message from Albert. King of the Belgians, was received yesterday by the New York World:
 Lapanne, February 3. You have asked me for a message at the expiration of the first six months of war.
 It is my pleasure and my duty to seize this opportunity to express my gratitude to the United States of America.
 With a generosity and deIicacy that have gone to my heart, American citizens have come to the assistance Of my country, which the German in vasion has plunged into untold mis- cry by exorbitant levies out of all pro- portion to the means of the inhabi-# tants.
 But for the brotherly help of the United States famine would have spread like a plague through our de vastated provinces. The people of Belgium, inured to suffering will be grateful to the United States
 To your eminent diplomatists, who have served us with so great a. devo- ton amid. circumstances of the ut most difficulty, and to all those who have so splendidIy organized the feeding of our people wish to bear heartfelt tribute. and to give public thanks.
 Once again the great American people, faithful to their century old humanity and brotherIy love, and have reasserted before the whole world their ideals of justice and lib erty.

AMERICAN BISHOPS.


 The first Episcopal bishop of the American church was Rev. Dr. Will liam White, who was consecrated bishop of Pennsylvania by the Arch bishop of Canterbury 128 years ago today. Feb. A. 17s7. Bishop White was not only the first American bisla- op in the line of succession from CanterburyI but he was the presfd- ing officer at the first Episcopal con vention in America, held in 17s5. He wrote the constitution of the church when, after the revolution, new organization of Anglican adherents was organized. Bishop White was the president of the first Bible socie- ty in America, and with Bishop Sea- bury of Connecticut, revised the Book of Common Prayer for the use Of the American Episcopal Church. The degree of D. D. conferred upon him in 1782 by the University of Pennsyl- vania was the first honorary degree of that institution. Bishop White was native of Philadelphia and died there in 1S36.

 On the same train is the way ex- press car, from South Norwalk to Danbury, in charge of Ade1bert Mo Laugh1in, and it was due to the fact that MT. Mclaughlin happened to see MT. Lockwood that the latter was saw ed from certain injury and perhaps death. When the train reached Branchvi1le MT. Lockwood left his car to help Mclaughlin unload the ex- press. Lockwood rode with Mo- LaughIan as far as Topstone and then got out to go back into his own car. The train had started when Lockwood jumped for the door of his car. He managed to seize hold of the chain across the door and rais- ed himself upon the narrow platform When he tried to roll back the car door, however, he wa.s unable to do so, as the door had locked from the fnstde Luckily for Lockwood, Mo- Laughlan happened to look back from his car and saw his fellow messenger hanging on by the chain. McLaughlan at once gave the signal to stop the train.
