Mrs. William Leonard, who has liv-
 ed in this city for the past forty'eight years, leaves Putnam this month to make her home with her daughters, Mrs. Stilman F. Morse of Jefferson, Mass, and Mrs. J. Frank Wood of Newburgh, N. Y., with occasional visits with her son, w. D. Leonard of Springfield, Mass.
 Mrs. Leonard came here with her husband from Woodstock Valley, where with his brothers, Thomas aud Moses, he had been engaged in manu- featuring shoes. The three houses which have ,long been known as
 "Leonard's Row" were built by the
 brothers, Thomas and William con ducting a shoe store here for many wears, and Moses was partner in the iirm of Manning X Leonard, for many
 years the leading dry goods store of the town. William Leonard died
 Nov. s, 1906, after having been school committeeman of the Fifth district up

 which at the time of the burning ot
 the sacred editice and the rebuilding
 of the new one. Among her distin
 gushing characteristics were her faith
 fulness to duty, her genial nature, and
 her capacity for work, whether in the
 church or the home circle. A mutual
 feeling of regret is sure to arise at the
 severing of the ties which have bound
 her to her home and friends these
 many years, assuring her of warm
 welcome whenever she Felurns to Put nam.

How German Army Horses Are Dyed.

z -
 Because of the shortage of horses ID Germany 1t has been found expedient to dye white and dappled horses a fiald-gray, as already noted in Popular Mechanics Magazine, thereby giving them the same protective coloring as the soldiers uniforms and making them available for military purposes. The coloring when first applied gives the horse violet hue, which later changes into greenish-brown by reason of the chemical action of the sweat retained in the hair. A staff apothe- cary ef the German army has found that the best dye is l per cent solu- ton of permanganate of potassium. This is applied to the head. legs, and upper part of the body with brush and 10 the more sensitive parts with a sponge. The coloring is permanent, harmless. and costs about 50 cents per harsa a-pnnnlar Mechanics Magazine

Gliding which they prefer.

1t has been generally assumed that
the stock of the railroads of the coun-
try is owned by a comparatively few
wealthy people, when as a matter of
fact it is just the reverse. Reports
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, as required by law, show
that the majority of stockholders are
people of comparatively small means,
and that this stock is held in compar-
atively every walk of life. The Hi
nois Central, one of the smaller roads,
has 1000 stockholders; $4,000 people
own the stock of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe; the Pennsylvania is
owned by $4,000 people, and other
roads are in proportion. The inter
ests of these people, and of the great
consuming public, should also be on
sidered in any settlement that is final
ly effected in the dispute between the
roads and their employees.

The president has finally appointed
the American members of the COM
mission that is expected to adjust our
differences with Mexico. The COM
mission, no doubt, will map out an
elaborate plan which both govern
ments will be expected to approve,
and to which the American govern
ment will adhere. But since the Mex
lean government is totally without
stability and VIGOROUSLY ~treacherous
and unreliable, it is difficult to see
ahead any hope of final peace along
the border when once the troops re-
turn to their homes. The leopard

When you have read through this

take time enough to let one fact sink
into your active brain. The paper on
which this issue was printed has cost
US approximately double what it cost

away up in price. The oil that keeps
the press revolving is up in price.
The power that moves the machinery
is sky high. In fact, every item of
expense is up in the clouds and many
are away above them, and every dol
lar of expense mean just that am
cunt of money right out of III peck

arrears on subscription, and we need
that money in order to meet the rap
