There are few habits, perhaps, that
obtain q greater hold on person than
proerastination-"t the putting off until
tomorrow what should be done to-
day''-and few habits that are more
easily broken. The victim Of pro-
crastination makes excuses to him elf
for not doing thing when it should
be done and salves his conscience with
the excuse, until to do a thing at the
time it should be done becomes unusu-
al. The procrastinator lies abed "just
five minutes longer than he should.
He gets up and yawns over his break
fast trifie longer than ne knows he
has time for. But it is pleasant to lie
in bed and daily over one s breakfast,
and the procrastinator persuades him
self that he still has time. In order to

/ exercise of a little energy they might
all be done in a hour. The procrasti-
nator never gets anywhere. He fails
4 TO keep engagements with friends and
with business associates. If he decides
on Monday that he should buy a pair
of shoes, it is Friday before they are
actually bought, all because ii is a

Destruction of Boyden Building.

The Boyden building in West Town
shend, which was burned Sunday, was
owned by c. d. Boyden and sister
Mrs. H. +. Howard, of this village.
Being in poor health Mr. Boyden had
returned to his home here early Satur-
day afternoon, leaving the store in
charge of Charles Boynton of the west
village. A telephone call at 2 am.
aroused III. +. Howard and he, with Mr..
Boyden and Mrs. Howard, drove
quickly to the other village, to find
the building entirely destroyed. The
building was long two-and "a half
story structure and its position in the
center of the village doubtless would
have proven disastrous TO the surround
ing houses had there been a breath OF
wind. Fortunately the night was I'M
usually still and the heavy snow on the
roofs aided in saving surrounding prop
erty.
| 1t is not known how the fire started
Mr.. Hadiock was awakened by hi
| little daughter in the night, and as III
snelled smoke he investigated and dis
covered the ridge pole in flames at TIL
east end, the fire quickly running alons
the entire roof. In closing the stor,
at night Mr.. Bovnton had beeen ex
tremeiy careful that the fire was les
safely, and there was but little in tn
stove. He even went to the secon,
story to make sure that all was SAT
to leave over Sunday. A long attic ex
tended the length of the main part o
the building and it is possible that
spark from one of the chimneys ma.
have smouidered there.
Both store stock and building wer
insured, though much below thei
actual value.
