To there by the road side where the old fash ioned house stood Its vision will haunt me whero ever I roam. There was old Jerry' I shall always remember. As I rode him to mill with a grist on behind, How the hoys they would holler lllto crows in September, Simply because the old fellow was blind. And many more troubles I had In my child hood, Which do not seem pleasant just now to re call, But one that I hated far more than all others, And that was the wood that I chopped lnjthe fall. I thought when I chopped on the hard, knotty dog-wood, Then looked the pile over for something more green. That my careless old mother could burn up more stove-wood Than all of the women I ever had seen. I have t-een the great city with all Its tempt.1' tlon; I have looked for Us pleasures In vain; I would willingly chop all tho wood In crea tlon, For one, only one, look at mother again. J. M. Shawhan. Reminiscences. Xahum Ward, who lived on Putnam street, was noted for his gentlemanly appearance. He was always neatly dressed, and in all respects a fine ap pearing man. lie built the Unitarian Church, and after its completion, gave it to the congregation to be thoirs as long as God was worshipped in unity. The building was quite complete, fur nished in all respects, with a fine organ and organ screen Wm. S. Ward, too, was a grand as sistance in building up the Society. lie frequently had the building paint ed at his own expense, and all repairs needed were done by him. , John Urophy occupied the building on Ohio street, with the pi'lars in front. He was an Irishman by birth. In his drunken sprees, of which ho had many, ho used to tell of those who owed him, calling them by name. His wife was a good member of the Catholic Church, and many bequests from her hind hand were known only to herself. Mr. C. 0. Pest clerked for the I'rophys for many years. Mr. ISeman Gates published the "In telligencer' for many years. He was a rigid temperance man, and to my knowledge, refused an advertisement from a liquor dealer with cash accom panied. He was, I think, a music teacher in his youth. He married one of the daughters of Chas. Shipman, who then lived on Front street P. Crafton-Aeln. The wedding of W. C. Grafton, of this city, and Miss Leora Maud Agin, of Vincent, occurred at 10 o'clock a. m. Wednesday, a3 announced in the Daily Leader. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's mother by Rev. M. W. Acton, of the First M. E. Church, in the presence of the im mediate relatives only. The bride wore a beautiful dress of white silk, the groom the conventional black. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs, prahanij of Pennsylvania, brother-in-lavv and sister o the bridt!. Immediately after the ceremony, which was brief, but beautiful and im pressive, tho wedding party repaired to tho elegant new home of Mr. and Mrs. D. It. Shaw, where a wedding re ception dinner was given in honor of the bridal couple. About forty guests were present to enjoy the dinner which was an elaborate spread delightfully served. Wednesday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Grafton left for Parkersburg, to take the P. &. .0. S. W. train for Cincinnati, where they will remain for several days, returning home about the first of next,veck. Mine Host Grafton, of the St. Cloud, is especially fortunate in possessing a wide circle of friends, all of whom will join with the Leader in extending heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life to him and his handsome bride. A "Smoker." The Lobdell Cycling Club's first "smoker" will be held on Thursday evening, Jan. 19th, at the Club rooms. Only Club members will be permitted to participate. A lunch of magnifi cent proportions will bo served, includ ing ton gallons of lcmonado and five gallons of. sweet elder. Eyery mem ber expected to'bo present and bring with him a pipe, the older the better, 'and a package of tobacco. A program of entertainment will be arranged and tho boys will certainly have n hilari ous time. The Leader will ba well represented and enjoy tho occasion as much as any of them. "GOD BLESS KATIE1" Tho Ilcrolo Woman Who Tore Up Hrr HllkUiidanklrt to Html Up tho Wounds or tho Train men, Chllllcothe Gazette. The bravery mingled with tondcr ness and pity, of Miss Catherine Flt. simmons, of Greenfield, who was ono of tho passengers on No. 13, the passen ger train that was run into last even ing, by freight train No. 80, near Ros abel, lias been the subjact of much comment among railroad circles, since tho dreadful affair happened, and naught is the wonder, for Miss Pltzstm mons is really an angel in human form. When tho collision occurred, Miss Pitzsimmons was in tho fear coach, and wasqulto painfully ,briiised. Put disregarding her own affairs,,jnnd pain, she bravely went out to tho rescue of tho injured, even going out in tho snow and cold to offer her aid to tho wound ed trainmen. He it said, to the eternal disgrace of several other passengers, that they sternly refused to assist her, when asked to do so. Put one passen ger volunteered his help, and of him too much praise cannot be given. Miss Fltzsimmons U a sister ol En gineer John Kltzslmmons, who was in the awful wreck at Schooleys. She was returning on No. 13, after having left the bedside of her brother. The lady, as soon as tho injured were cur ried into a coach, crawled into the broken and smashed baggage car and secured an ariuful of blankets in which to wrap the bufferers, who were al most freezing with cold. She warmed the blankets about the stove before wrapping those who were hurt, and otherwise ministered to their comfort. Not having bandages at hand, she toro up her black sill: underskirt, and usid the strips of cloth in binding up tho bleeding wounds of the unfortun ate ones. For two hours and more, until the arrival of the physicians, she kept cheering and assisting tho injur ed, never once faltering at the sight of blood. Wheu the train pulled into this city on the return journey, Miss Fitzsimmons was a heroine. Every in jured man called her to his side, and wanted to express his gratitude by a kiss. No wonder that she won tho admira tion of all, for a braycr and better woman never drew the breath of life. Her actions on the occasion of lust evening deserve a vote of thanks from the railroad company, and all con cerned, yet she was too modest to even admit that she had done anything worthy of note. Yet if Miss Fitzsim mons does not realize the good she did, there are others who do, as proven by the remark of Engineer Dora Scott, who expressed his heartfelt sentiments with tliis observation: "God bless Katie Fit.simmons, sho is a jewel." Among the Derricks. At Waverly Monday afternoon an altercation occurred between a young son of Warren Kerry and a lease boss, also a young man, during which the former struck the latter over the head with a piece of pipe, splitting his ear and knocking him unconscious, in which condition he remained several hours. The Schnauffer well on Long Run, reported in Tuesday's Leader, prom ises to bo a bigger producer than at first expected. It will not bo surpris ing should it turn out to be good for 100 barrels. The Corbitt well directly lack of Waverly has been drilled deeper into the sand and struck another pay. The well is making about 25 barrels. The Riley well on Uhl in the Wil liamstown field came in yesterday and is reported to be a rich strike. It .will make 150 barrels at least. Tho well is next south of tho Hunter. The Preacher No. 2 on Long Run was making seven barrels an hour when last reported. It was drilled deeper Wednesday and is expected to increase its production. The Little Venture Oil Co's No. 2 at Waverly is expected to be drilled in today. Lalng Metzerand others, who have oil territory on Sheets Run, have pur chased the territory of Huggip.s it Co., which has on it one producing well. The consideration was $800.

An Honorable Name That tins Acquired Unplcasnnt Prominence Through a Celebrated Trial Tho Greatest Man ufacturer of New England. COPTnlOHT, 180V The Pordcn tragedy nud the celebrat ed trial which attracted tho attention of the whole world to a member (if the family who was charged with tho crime, gave unpleasant prominence to an houorablc nninc. Before the public had forgotten this case n second trag edy occurred in the New York house hold of n member bf'the Borden fam ily. 'Tie, be'lj at;Jioca nte, d Serv ant's entrance.' rnngv the npgroibuj.ler answered it; 'tho door' was opened, a shot was tired and the assailant tnn- ished. while the butler fell dead. The murderer has never been apprehended, JllCIlAHD UOItDE.V. and a second mystery was added to the family history. The Bordens of Fall River have long been noted as leaders in the great in dustries of New England. Fall River has long been the center of the cotton cloth manufacturing' interests of tho United States. Probably $50,000,000 is invested in tills industry irt that city, and at least half of It is con trolled by the Bordens. Tho first John Borden was one of tho original settlers in tho community which made homes in the 17th century along tho banks of the Queqv.cchan (Fall) river; and from him all those who have lived and died, worked and prospered, in that neighborhood for more than 200 years were descended. It has therefore come about (hat nil of tho Bordens in Full river are related, but tho tie of blood is not cherished as closely in New England as, say, in Virginia, so the Borden traged3' a few years ago was not felt to toucli very closely the other Borden homes in the city. , In 1S13 was incorporated the first company to operate a mill; in Fall Pn er to-day there are 42 such corpora tions operating 2,700,000 spindles and C1.000 looms that is, bomething like one-fifth of all tho spindles in the United States. The largest plant, in Fall River, tho largest cotton cloth plant in fact in the United States, is the prop erty of a Mr. Matthew C. D. Borden, a native of that city, ns his ancestors hwo been for many generations. This gentleman, though ho does not now make his home in Full River, is consid ered tho first man of the place in wealth and influence. His father, Col. Rich ard Borden, for something like hnlf a century, during all the formative pe riod in Fall River, occupied a Mmilnr position. The Full River Iron company was started as a private enterprise by Col. Richard Borden with a capital of $24,000. What the capital is to-day no man can tell save Mr. M. C. D. "Borden, who owns 08 per cent, of tho stock. But the property owned by the corpora tion probably amounts to as many mil lions as there were thousands put into the enterprise 74 years ago. The first work of this company was to make hoop iron and nails, and by 1843 there was a large rolling mill plant. In that year the works were destroyed by fixe on they were again in 1850, but MATTHEW C. D. BORDEN. the indomitable spirit of Cq'l. Borden conquered adversity, nnd ou euch oc casion the mills were rebuilt. Putearly in tho history of the company the in corporatois began to take advantage of the powers granted to them by the legislature in 1843. The company be came an owner in the Watuppa Reser voir company, in tho Troy cotton and woolen manufactory, in tho Fall River manufactory, in the Annawan mill, in tho American print works, in theMeta comct mill, in tho Fall River railroad, in the Pay State steamboat line, In tho Fall Itlver gas works, nnd so on and eo on. From the tlmo thnt manufacturing began in Fall River thero was for many years considerable embarrassment in transportation facilities, and it wns difficult nnd expensive to get tho raw materials, as well us to send to market the finished products.

There was no regular craft going to Providence until long after the war of independence. After tho establishment of the cotton mills a small hchooner with a capacity of ten bales of cotton began to run regularly to Providence. Other small schooners wore added from tiinu to time until 1S27, when the steam er Hancock was puton ly Col. Borden's company. Other steamers were added from time to time by the company, but even these did not satisfy the demands of the plr.eu as Col. Pordcn f.aw them. Ho wanted Fall River to he the chief point in n line between New York nnd Boston. He built several lines of rail way so as to tap existing lines, but these did not answer his purpose. So ho organized the Cape Cod Railroad company, and built a road from Middle borough down to the cape us a feeder to Ills Fall River route. Mcuntime, to con nect his railroad that ran Bostonwnrd with New York, he built, in partnership with his brother, Jefferson Borden, the Pay State, a very tine steamboat for those days, to run between New York nnd Fall River. Tho next year he added the Empire State, and then the Metrop olis; nnd the well-known Fall River line of steamers was established. It is re lated that the earnings of the Bay State were six percent, a month, and that the other two boats were entirely paid for out of the profits of the lino. His sons took up the work where he left it, and they have proved to be ca pable men. Put ono of his sons, tho youngest, Matthew C. D. Borden has in herited, in even a grenter degree, his father's remarkable capacity for af fairs; and it is said bytlioso who re member the colonel's faculty for throwing off the vares which oppress ordinary men that, the son greatly re sembles his father. Mr. M. C. 1). Borden received his scholastic education at Yale, and was tho "wooden spoon" of his year. Every collegian knows what this distinction means. From college ho went into the counting-rooms, in New York, of Low, Hnrrimun & Co., the selling agents of the American printing works, ono of the properties of tho Iron Works com pany. Then when tho nguncy was changed ho went with Wright, Bliss & Fabyan, the predecessors of the well-known firm of Bliss, Fabynn & Co. of to-day. Shortly after his fa ther's dcatli he boughtoutthootherin tcrcsts in tho American Print Works company, and gradually absorbed the shores of the Iron Works company. At tlu- time the Iron Works company n. u. r.oRiiEH. did not make cotton clotlis, but merely printed them. Mr. Borden did not think the other manufacturers treated him fairly; so in 18S0 ho built a great mill and made tho cloth which he after wards dyed. In 1892 lie built a second mill and made the cloth which he after day the fourth mill, hu-ger and more complete thnn any of the others, was finishod. Three thousand five hundred hands are employed and 1,000 bales of cotton usefl in a week, and In thnt time 50, 000 pieces al cotton cloth nrO' turned out. '' Last spring, when wages were very low und a cloud of depiession hung over Fall River, Mr. liorden ordered that the wages in bin mills should be increased. Tho other mills had to fol low his example, and the relief was im mediate, lie did not increase tho wages ns a philanthropist, but ns a business man who saw that tho business de pression was over ond there would be nn instant revival nil over the country, lie followed this order by commanding that n new mill be built. When this was finished and tho engine was started with simple ceremonies, us a thank offering for his own prosperity and ub nn earnest of his interest in his nativo place he gave $100,000 to tho qhnritlea of tho town. Associated wi,th him now is his f.on, Bertram II, Borden, who Is of the ninth generation of the Bor dens of Fall Itlver, ,11 f Xff Wo have just finish ed sorting up preparatory to our annual invoice, and we find a great many odd pieces, garments wo canH keep, wo haven't tho room.

Extract madefrom TONKA resembles vanilla in odor and taste and costs about $10.00 less per pound, hence the cause for atlull reation.
