But still, with all his dignity he regularly takes his four5 year-old granddaughter to Sunday . 1 school because he thinks that she should have this religious training \ n while she Is yet young, i The other Sunday it was Mary El- i i len's fourth birthday and she, after the ' custom of the school carried with her ' f four pennies to place In the birthday 7 basket Everything went nicely and the tot went, to the front, her little i face happy above her Sunday finery. | Still smiling she stood in row with : the other birthday children and wait- j ed while the basket was passed. 1 When It was taken to the others and : she saw them put their pennies Into the basket Mary Ellen became dis. tinctly uneasy. She seemed about to j flee; then to reconsider and stayed. ! But when it reached her, instead of i dropping ner pennies into it as tne ; others had done she held to them ! ' very tightly indeed and said: "No, I I'm going to keep them myself. If i . yon want any oders yon tan tall my j . grandpa np. He had a whole handful ; this mornin'." And grandfather. In order to keep " his reputation free from having any j * of the taints of a piker, had to rise j from his seat and come forward with ! - four pennies.

LAST OF GREAT MONOPOLY Three Million Acres of Hudson's Bay Company's Land to Be Given Over to Farming. i When King Charles II. made a grant ! of land in America to "The Governor i and Company of Adventurers of Engi land Trading into Hudson's Bay" he ! generously turned over to them about three-quarters of North America, an . empire which time has diminished until now the Hudson's Bay company is /\ wi /->Vi TirHl/"*K ?

With the Right Kind of Animal, Youngster Will Seldom Stray Beyond Safe Bounds. An observation of our friend, the fanner, that "I dunno's I ever heard of a child's gettin' really lost that had a dog to play with," merits consideration. Sweeping generalizations are unsafe, but there is no question of the value of a dog as a child's playmate and protector. Some dogs have the runaway instinct themselves. The call of the wild stirs within them?they are vagrants by nature. Such a dog would delight to have human company in a runaway journey and are not safe companions for children. But the right kind of dogs, and there are many of them, who have been brought fA CX CQ71TT1P up Willi I'UUUICU, ttlC 4U1VD. IV ? the role of guardian. With such a dog na child would ever get lost; indeed, would not be allowed to stray beyond bounds. We have in mind a Great Dane whose temper was such that, although we were acquaintances, we never ventured to enter his domain, if he were around, until he had had time to satisfy himself that we could pass muster. Once satisfied you were approved by the god he called master and goddess he called mistress, he had an embarrassing way of standing on his hind legs and placing his front ones around your neck?a caress quite likely, if you were not well braced, to knock you off your feet. He was the inseparable companion of the baby of the family?a boy of four or five? who had a predilection for running away. When the youngster started, th^ Great Dane followed; when the child reached the gate, the dog blocked his way, gently but firmly. For anyone to have touched that child when the Dane was near would have cost him his life?unless he had first shot and shot to kill. The intelligence of the dog is a source of constant amazement to those who know him best and love him most; and of his devotion there Is, happily, no question. If all children had dogs as playmates there would be fewer to run away and get lost.?New Bedford Standard. Varnish Not Full Protection. 1 X Wood Is not wnouy proiecieu huju moisture by varnishing, which is shown by tests of the Forest Products laboratory in Wisconsin to have only a retarding effect. The woods used were yellow birch, basswood, red gum, African mahogany, white ash, white pine, Sitka spruce, southeffT yellow pine, bald cypress, incense cedar, | Port Orford cedar, and sugar pine; I but there was no perceptible difference in the different species In the moisture absorbed through the coating. Three coats of high-grade spar varnish were applied to four panels of each species, two panels being brush-coated and two dipped with a special machine designed to give an even coat. The panels were dried 72 hours between coats and ten days after the final coat; and were then exposed 17 days to an atmosphere practically saturated with moisture. The brush-coated panels then showed ten grammes of moisture per square foot of surface; the dipped, between four and five grammes. Stiil Believe in Fairies. I A case just heard in the Tipperary courts reveals the survival In Ireland of a belief in the fairies. It was a claim for compensation for cutting trees and bushes around a fort at Shanbally. The claimant said he especially valued these bushes as "there was dancing and lights there every night." It was alleged that the defendant had taken away the bushes to evict the fairies. The judge pointed out that If there were fairies they would visit their anger on the man who dared to cut the bushes and not on the owner. He did not accept the fairy theory and dismissed the claim. Receiving wireiess. By use of photography, a method invented by C. A. Hovie, an electrical engineer of Schenectady, wireless messages can be received and recorded at a far greater speed and with more accuracy than heretofore. The invention permits the eye either to supplement or replace the ear in reading wireless messages. The machine has reached a rate of 400 words a minute, and in test as many as 600 words. Up to this time the most rapid method of recording radio signals has been by phonograph, but this must still be transcribed, so to speak, by the ear and not the eye, and moreover no permanent visual record Is mada Harmful Dust In Factories* The dust in various industrial establishments Is found by Professor of Yale Medical school, to range from about one-twentieth of a grain of solid particles per 100 cubic feet of air in a good metal polishing .shop to 12 grains in a textile factory. But while a carpet or blanket mill yields more dust than such industries as pottery, asbestos, tobacco and steelgrinding, little of it is inorganic matter, and it is the dust from abrasive materials that seems mos-t harmful and to tend most to produce tuberculosis.

Only a few years ago it was the teaching that the atom was the smallest division of matter, and today scientists are discussing the possibility of the race learning how to use the force which would become available with unlocking of the latent atomic power. Prof. W. A. Noyes discussed the relations between atoms and electrons, whoch form a part of atoms, in his address upon being awarded the Willard Gibbs metal, and stated that electrons probably rotate. This would make the atom a sort of minature universe in which its nucleus would correspond to a sun and the electrons to the revolv'ng planets. Sir Oliver Lodge in a recent address also spoke of the latent atomic power which he cons'ders so very great that it would be disastrous to have it be come available to men before a moral plane high enough to prevent its abuse has been reached. He thought that a way to realease this great power is not beyond the possible and some day't may supply a satisfactory substitute for that now obta'ned when .molecules, made up of atoms, are shattered by combustion of fuel or other chemical processes. DR. FRAXK F. JOHNSO>\ On November 3rd, as evening shadows fell, the soul of Dr. Frank F. Johnson passed into eternity. After many months of suffering, bravely and patiently borne, he went to his reward as he had 1'ved, quietly, and it seemed as tho' he slept. His life had been consecrated to duty, and all who knew h'm were impressed with his fine sense of honor and justice, his ability and soundness of judgment wlr'ch wa., matured by years of endeavor. Possessed of that char'ty which "seeketh not her own, is kind, speaketh no evil," he was ever mindful of the needs of others, and many will miss his kindly help and sympath}. He was never known to speak evil of others. Loyally he held the good name of others as a trust. H's high regard for women and the reverence he accorded them, characterized the true gentleman. Self reliance and reticent, he sought little advice and volunteered none, shaping his course with the ability which made the success he attained. Endowed with unusual strength of character, still there was an element of tenderness in h's nature which made him the friend of all children, and h's kindly care of all helpless creatures appealed to his friends as evidence of h's great good nature. While yet a youth he was called -- TTTV* ioll upon to assume grave uuues wun... he performed with cheerfulness and courage. Remarkable for his honesty and fair dealing he accorded the same respect to the humblest as to the most exalted. He was upright, using his influence for good, not profess'ng but doing the things which are good, claiming no reward but the joy of service. He will be sadly missed by many and in the home there is a vacant place which we know can never be filled, but to live in the hearts of those we love is not to die. NOTICE OF ELECTION.
