"Our New Minister."

Demman Thompson and George W. Ryer, the authors of "The Old Home- stead," have brought forth a new rural comedy of New England life, entitled "Our New Minister," which, like "The Old Homestead," is as clean as a whistle," as pure aud wholesome aud iu- vigorating as the air which sweeps acros8 our New England farmis, and as sweet aud elevating in its moral tone as a ves- per chime. Laughter and tears have a hot race in about every scene, some of the strongest and most forceful lines and situations revealing the two elements of human emotion.

It is not a religious play, as the title might naturally suggest, but rather a simple narrative of every day lite in a New England rural community, with narrow-minded, bard-headed and close- fisted piety ou the one side, and warm. hearted, generous, broad humanitarian impulses ou the other. The new minis- ter arrays himself on the side of liberal- ity and that broad Catholicity which preaches charity, love and redemption rather than niggardliness and hypocrisy. It appears at the Opera house tomorrow e veuiug.

Milford Selectman Gets Excited. "If you drive another nail or turn an other shovel of dirt until the selectmeu give you permission, you'll do so over my dead body," is what Selectman and Deputy Sheriff A. A. Jenkins of Milford is said to have said to the foreman of the gang of men who were putting in a con- nection between the Milford, Attleboro & Woousocket and Milford, Holliston & Framingham Street railway tracks on Main street, Milford, when the foremau bit defiance to Mr. Jenkins, wbo, as se- lectman, protested against the location of the connecting link and warned the

foreman to stop work. Mr. Jenkius

drew a revolver.

This incident occurred just before 1, o'clock last Wednesday moruing. The trouble arose over a dispute as to how near the middle of the street a frog should be laid. The selectman was aroused from his sleep by the sound of the inen working and, when he discov. ered the frog belug laid near the side- walk, ordered the men to stop work. The foreman scoffed at Mr. Jenkins and the latter drew a revolver. Later the trouble was adjusted aad the frog was laid in the middle of the street according tu Jenkius' idea.

Remember that the selection ol seats for the popular course of entertainments at the Congregational church may he bad at the store of N. C. Nye tomorrow morning. Five seats only will he deliv. ered to oue person, thus giving all a fair

opportunity to secure good sittings, The tickets are already going well, and when the Harvards open the course # well filled house is assured. As to the merits of the various entertainments there is no question, as there is abuudant testimony at hand in regard to their excellence.

In sll probability Frauklin will fur-

wish Medway with water, as the water commissioners of the latter place are working hard on the matter of securing a source of water supply from Kings- bury's pond, situated about two miles from Medway. The commission and its

engineers have made oue inspection of the pond, and while there are some doubts as to its ability to furnish a suffi- ciency, the quality of the water is of the best, and a survey will soon be made to find what approximate quantity could be obtained. Several other sources have been examined by the commission and Its engineers, but the quality aud purity of the water in Kingsbury's pond is far better than any source yet examined.

People are strangely careless and

ueglectful about the matter of insurance. A few cents each day will carry quite an insurance and you will sleep better o'nights ,if you feel that some stroug hand stands between you and your last penuy. Read your policy, read it again, read it carefully aud see if it expresses just what you latended. If you are a farmer and have a few hundred dollars' worth of farm implements insured in a certain hallding do not think they would be equally insured In another bullding.

If you havo horses or cattle insured In a certaia bara do not think the Insurance would follow them into another barn whleh you may chance to own just across

plough or harrow. The old fashioned wouden plough bad straps nailed outo the mould board, and a point that could be taken off and sent to the blacksmith to sharpen. . This with a harrow of eleven or thirteen teeth comprised miost all the tools on the farm in those days.

Two, four and six yoke of oxen were used on the piows aud harrows. You. can hardly imagine the small amount of land that was then worked uver com- pared to what we can do now with our steel or sulky plows. A pair of horses with a goud wheel harrow will go over more ground and do better work iban six yoke of oxen did in the old days, Then take the mowing machine in com- parison with the hand scythe. Three men today can get more hay with mower, edder and horse rake ihan ten men could fifty years ago.

There are lots of small tools today that were not known then. There are lots of small tools today that were uot known then. The tendency of the times is to have a tool or machine for every kind of work on the farm. This may he all right where a man has plenty of money to pay for them. There are many tools used ou westeru farms that are not practicable here on our New England hills. For instance, a hay loader Some of our machines are so complicated that the straiu of working them canses many a break and delay. The manure spread- er, for instance, will not stand the heavy work required of it. I have had [agents here to sell me one, but when I could count six or seveu that were not in use within two miles they dropped the sub ject, as I had the best of them.

You must all admit that farm prac- tices of fifty years ago as compared with today have changed as well as the ma- chinery and tools. The old way of rais- ing nearly all that the family consumed on the farm is gone by. I can remember when my father kept sheep for the mut- ton and wool. He would kill a sheep every few weeks In cold weather; the wool was spun into yarn and made our stockings, aud it was a point iu those days never to buy anything that you could raise ou the farm. I think if we did so uow many of us would be short of provisions at some time. I do not think it hest to depend ou any one crop. but have several that follow in succession, so that if it is a poor year for oue, some of the others make up the difference. The old time barter trade has passed and gone. Most of us can find some crop that will bring in ready mouey, as potatoes, hay, milk, eggs or chickens. ] think there is a good chance to raise and

Advertising is business news. It tells the things which are of great daily im- portance. It is of more account to the frugal housewife to know where to get certain necessary commodities at a less price than usual than to know of the troubles iu Siam and Alaska.
