The Most Beautiful Fing.


In a village srbund in the Aradlan re- gion of Nova Sentia the young lady toneh- er, who was from a portion of Canada more remote from the United States than the section she was in, was on one ocen- sion preparing for a little celebration of the queen's birthday-the 24th of May. Calling one of the boys. she gave him a coin and said to him:


"I'nke this, please, and go out nad get ns the prettiest dag yon enn find." She had no idea, of course, of his pro- curing anything else than a British dag, and her astonishment was great there- fore when the boy came back with a small etlition of the stars and stripes. "What have you there?" the teacher asked sharply. "Did you suppose I sent you for anything else than the Bag of your country ?"


"Why." answered the boy. "you told me to get the prettiest flag I could find. and there was nothing else so pretty ns this!"


at any rate, for be was a Canadian .- Youth's Companion.

An Auspicious Opening.


The Medway-Franklin line, which la a branch of the Norfolk Western line, run. ning from Dedham, was formally opened on Wednesday, three cars coming over from Dedham, contaluing officials of this road, officials of the various towns and interested citizens all along the line. This car reached hete at just 1.40 p. m., the head car carrying the Norwood hand, which had discoursed its fius muusle upon this way. It was a strange sight, indeed, to see au slectric cnr coming down Main street, a thing which It had been asserted could never he done in Franklin. Flags were flying from the various cars and large announcements disclosed this fact to the people along the route that this was "opening day." A large crowd of interested sightseers had also gathersd to see the first car coule In.


Aboard the cars were the Messrs. Gore, npou whom the success . of tlre enterprise bas largely depended, and they showed a perfectly justifiable pride in this auspiclons accomplishment of


thelr plans. A short stop was made here to allow the invited guests to get aboard, when the three laige cars, each carrying about fifty people, moved off for Dedham, where the Messts. Gore were to disclose other pleasing features of the trip.


The conductors furnished a delightful diversion for those who were fumically inclined, for at the very outset, instead of appearing with the stereotyped "Fares, please," they appeared with a hox of cigars, which they presented the passengers with the compliments of the officials. This they repeated at intervals and it was thoroughly appreciated.


Through Med way, Millis, Medfield to Westwood the cars sped on, taking the steep hills with ease and gliding along at the rate of about four minutes to the mile, frequent stops being made to allow the passengers an opportunity to enjoy the fine scenery en route. All along the line the inhabitants were out to welcome

A Historie Church Gone.


An alarm of fire was rung in from hox 4tech. 10 on Tuesday evening, and it was soon discovered that St. Mary's Catholic church was on fire, The firemen were speedily on the ground, a second alarm having been rung in, and they soon saw that all hope of saving the edifice must be abandoned, as it appeared to be all afire inside when it was first discovered. They directed their streams, six in number, upon the neighboring buildings eight of which caught fire from time to time by flying sparks. Only the absence of a high wind aaved these structures. Within an hour from the time of the alarm practically nothing was left of the building but a few thin, badly charred sheathing boards. Nothing was saved from the interior but some vestmeuts, books, caudles, etc., the valuable organ, costing about $2,500 seven years ago, going up in the general ruin.
