She Became a Bore.

Most persons who talk about them
selves are bores. A writer In the
American Magazine says:
Zone Of the most companionable Wo-
men ever knew was so completely
transformed by an operation that she
unconsciously became bore to her
friends and to her family by tedious
repetitions Of her hospital experience.
Her idea Of its Importance was so ex-
aggerated that she lost all sense OF
proportion. Truly her operation be-
came the alpha and omega Of her ex-
istence. From 1t all events IN her life
history dated. It was her sole topic
Of conversation. No matter how skill
fully one might steer the conversation
al bark away from the dreaded topic,
she adroitly brought it back. AS re-
suit she became self centered, intro
spective and bore to her friends. Her
efforts to entertain merely annoyed.
Where she hoped to arouse admiration
she created disgust, and where she
sought sympathy she received only In.

Walter B. Gnnnison.

Some of the older people of Norway,
and perhaps some of those Of Paris, may
have a memory of Walter B. Gunnison,
who died at his home In Brooklyn, N.
Y, on the 10th of December, at the age
of "a years. Mr.. Gunnison was the son
of Rev. Nathaniel Gunnison, who was
for some years pastor OF the Norway
Universalist church, and also preached
at Paris Hill, and who certainly will be
remembered by the older generation.
A characteristic of the Gunnison fam
ily was their executive ability, or per-
haps IL would be better to say their fac
ulty of doing things and getting things
done. This was exemplified In the elder
Gupnison, who while pastor of the Nor
way church was president of the Norway
Savings Bank, rather an unusual kind OF
position for q clergy man to hold.
The same characteristics which the
father displayed were shown in the sons.
OF the other sons, Almon was for years
pastor of large church in Brooklyn.
He is now president emeritus of ST..
Lawrence University at Canton, N. Y.
During his active service of some years
at the head of that Institution, although
past the prime of life, he succeeded IN
raising an endowment fund which raised
the college from the position of worthy
but struggling and almost bankrupt insti-
tuition to the 1.-THE Greater st. Lawrence,
with solid financial basis and as assured
future of usefulness. Another son, Her
bert r. Gunnison, has been for many
years manager of the Brooklyn Eagle.
Walter Gunnisoo was one of the early
graduates Of st. Lawrence University,
taking the degree of Bachelor Of Arts
there in 1875. Immediately after grad
uation he became professor OF Latin in
the college, at that time q rather poorly
paid position and of uncertain tenure.
There Ii was, In the early eighties, that
the writer had bis acquaintance with him
and learned to know the man. OF
abounding vitality, unceasing activity,
forceful, sometimes aggressive, he was
leader and manager in all things. Most
of the institutions which gave st. Law
renee its atmosphere in those days and
dwelt most firmly in the memory of Its
students, had their origin with Walter
Gupnison, either as student or member
OF the faculty. He met with more or
less opposition In his activities, but he
generally carried his point.
And yet he was always likable, and
was one of the best loved men connected
with the Institution, even by those who
contested with him most strenuously.
Some thirty years ago he went to
Greater New York and secured school
position there. and from that time was q
considerable factor in the educational
system, being for many years the prin-
cipal of one of the large schools of
Brooklyn.
1t is an interesting fact that in his
youth he was not particularly noted for
scholarship, but he had those qualities
which made him q good instructor, as
the writer can testify; and while nothing
can be said from observation of bis work
in the city schools, 1t Is safe to say that
the characteristics which gave him
leadership in other places, stood him in
good stead there.

Drift From Country to City,

Soehey ~ WY
Some further statistics as to the
drift Of population in this country from
the country to the city were presented
In a recent census bureau report. Fig
ures show that this drift has now cov-
cred a period Of a century and quar-
ter, or from 1870 to the present time,
1790 being the year in which the first
census Of population was taken. Since
that time the drift has been practically
uninterrupted. In 1870 cities were ex-
tremely rare in this country. Only one
had population Of more than 10000.
This was New York city, which had at
that time 33,131 inhabitants. Next
came Philadelphia with 2S,500, and
then Boston with 1890. In the en-
tire country there were only 3,929, PA
