Windham, Willingly, and Putnom High Schools were represented at a meeting held in this city Friday after noon, to see if basket ball was still in favor as a school sport.

The church choir in full force was present amt,led the singing, ami mate rially hel|>eil to give interest to the ex ercises. The “Flag Drill," superintended by Mrs. Warner, was a deeply affecting exercise. The younger scholars, from 4 years old to 12, numbering 150 or so, marched in procession around the church aisles, waving tiny flags, on which was printed a cross with these words alongside of it: “With this Sign Conquer." Music helping them to keep step. All eyes followed their march until completed, when each j class in succession was dismissed and relumed to its place. t'eluloid pins were given to all mem- j bers of the school present, young and old,, the Superintendent remarking, j that every member of the school at tending three months consecutively his pin could be exchanged for a fac simile bronze one: ami at the end of another three months' consecutive at tendance, each pin might be exchanged f >r another of better grade, until so on, when a solid silver, gold plated pin is to be bestowed. it was also announced that Miss Dut ton, a teacher in the Israel l*utnam i School, would Ire the Superintendent of the Junior Department.

Oreen, took the held Ind endeavored to secure the nomination of first seieetman over the present encumbent, C. F Fierce. As a result ot a thorough canvass Mr, Wood secured In. votes; but the friends of Mr. lHprce came to his sup jwrt and turned o.n i the nuuiWr of si to express their appreciation of the very eft!dent manner he has fulfilled the duties of his oiiiee. Mr. Wood is a very worthy citi. en, and would, no doubt, if elected, ha\e served his towns men with faithful service that would have been generally approved. Hut the voters could find no reason to dis place a deserving ami well-tried ser vant for a less experienced man, al though In every other respect an equal ly worthy citizen. That is a correct rule iu every eleoiive office, lit encour ages good men, w hen elected to office, to do their best lu their efficiency and faithfulness in the assurance that his worthy service will Ih' approved by re instntement when the vpiesUon is sub mitted to the voters. He not only de s.-rves this, but his experience makes him a more valuable servant to the community the longer lie is kept in office.

And as time passed on tts author became ns remote and mythical as llunynu 01 IteFoo— the picturesque figure rumbling nlaml tile towns with hit old horse amt wagon found no place in Iris "Collections," Few w hose works have been so widely read have gained so little personal re cognition. I was never more surprised than to learn, In 1*72, that John W. Barber, the author uf the Hinlorioal Col loot tons, was then living in New Haven, and there i found him in a printing office. He was a little old man, with very black eyes and very while hair alert and vivacious manner. He had a v ivid remembrance ot Ilia tramp« about the Htate, the characteristics of the towns, and the people he saw in them; told me whence lie received hit story of the Asltford whipping for non-church at tendance, which had been disputed; how lie himself esca|ied a threatened whipping by timely withdtawlng an olfensive story from the copy. Our old delineator lived thirteen years after this Interview but I heard nothing more of him and do not recall any obituary or biographical notice. Biographical IHcMonnrles give only birthplace, dales of birth and death and list of public works; but from a sketch In his latest work we glean some personal details. lie was a scion of true-blue Connec ticut stock, born In Winds >r, February 2, 17HS, nourished by Scripture, apell lug Isnjk and primer, I rained by work rather than schooling, losing his fa Iher w hen thirteen years old, he thence forward labored for the Nup|Mtrt of the family. In Barber, ns in ourown Frank Alexander, the pictorial Impulse deve loped spontaneously In childhood. Ills tlrsl attempt at depicture was called out when only seven years of age by the re|s>rt of Nelson’s “Battle of the Nile." Most fortunately there was then In Mouth Windsor one of the best engrav lug establishments In the coun try nud there young Barlier was able lcclal work and mission. IIU firnt work, publUluNi in IHI9, was h series of wood cut* entitled, I "Banyan'* Pilgrim’* Progress (exhibi ted in a Metamorphosis or a Transfor mation of Picture*.’’ In ]Hi;.: he removed to New Haven nnd opened an engraving ottleo. Ills first historical work was, "The History and Antiquities ot New Haven." Ill* great work upon ('onnecliciit Involved many year* of lalior and pieparullon. Numerous other stale compilation* were prepared under thin mo lei, and were favorably received. HI* moat ela borate work, "The Past and Present o( the t'nlted Htales,” In two large vol ume*, with *lx hundred engravings— published In |H«1, juat at the clone of the Hull Kun disaster, suffered similar defeat. Ilul while thus interested In purau Ing history, Mr. Barber'* chief desire and Inspiration wa* “to preach the Gospel truth and moral truth by mean* of picture* A compilation entitled. "Tiie Bilde looking ilia**," made up of four emblematical work*, namely, Tiie Christian Pilgrim, the hrlsllan Similitudes, Keiigiou* Aiiegorte* and Religious Kmbterns, had an Immense circulation-carrying hi* Gospel pie* lure* "from the Kennebec to the Rio Grande." Still more pronounced in it* object was hi* ia*t published vol ume, "The Picture il’rcacher, a Book of Morais, Amusing and Instructive, Alike to Old and Young, 116 Bold, Quaint Old style Kugravtngs" The accompanying portrait I* thus endors ed: "The above, according to the opiu ion of my friend*, Is a aorrect |iorlratt of myself at till* timerKeb. tSi, ls*u, ray tjirthday.

Thi* book may I at ranked among the "Curiosities of Literature,'’ for the age of the author and nature and variety of content*—fable* old and new, scrip ture text*, moral seutlments, ancient stories, are here told and Illustrated In the quaint, homely, apt style of the old Umc primer and spelling book, and SSSlIill fully justify the author's prom la* of i amusing and Instructing old and jlj young.

Steps sounded i>elow. A man was mooing tip the back stairs, and from the kitchen rose sounds of mighty groanings and cursings in the heavy icttnrais of the Servian, as he re pined his wits and sought to explain his plight.

He talked with them a few minutes longer, then took himself off, and they saw little of him the rest of the day. Armitage did not share their distinc tion of a seat at the captain's table, and Dick found him late at night in the smoking saloon with pipe and book. Armitage nodded and asked him to sit down. “You are a sailor as well as a sol dier, captain. You are fortunate. I always sit up the first night to make sure the enemy doesn't lay hold of me in my sleep.” He tossed his hook aside, had brandy and soda brought and offered Clai borne a cigar "Tills is uot the most fortunate sen ion for crossing. I am sure to fall to morrow. My father and mother hate the sea particularly and have retired for three days.

Imre nil the marks of a gentleman, lie.had. to lie sure, followed Shirley about, but even the young man’s manner in this ITas hardly a matter at w hich he could cavil. And there was something alto gether likable in Armitage. His very composure was attractive to Claiborne, and the bold lines of his figure were not wasted on the young officer Armitage was thinking rapidly of something he had suddenly resolved to say to Captain Claiborne, lie knew that the Clatbornes were a family of dis tinction. The father was an American diplomat and lawyer of wide reputa tion. The family steed for the best of which America is capable, and they were homeward bound to the Amer ican capital, where (heir social position and the fa liter's fame made them con spicuous. Armitage put flown ms cigar mm tent toward Claiborne, speaking with quiet directness. “Captain Claiborne.

This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Putnam people testify to permanent cures. Mrs. Dennis Cady, of *>8 .School si., Putnam, Conn., says: “For three or four years my husband hsd severe pains in the small of his back which prevented him from sleeping well at night. A day or two-before a storm he always noticed that the pains were worse, and when he caught cold the trouble was also greatly aggravated. Added to this there was an annoying difficulty from the kidney 'secretions. He used many remedies but got no re lief uulil he began taking l»oan s Kid ney Pill*, procured at Dresser s drug slore.
