Luther W. Merriam of Glover, with very apt remarks, opened the last question of the day: "Are the Sunday Schools Reaching the Percentage of Population They Should Reach?" A large number took part in this discussion, and many interesting and helpful things were said. President Stoddard then made some remarks giving interesting statistics, after which an offering was taken to defray expenses, wben the rally was closed with the hymn "Blest Be the Tie that Binds," and benediction by Rev.

New college graduates are humorously represented as defying the world with bumptious egotism and playing the superior to the people at home, who bow down and worship.

The picture is truer with respect to the worshipers than with respect to the hero. If he has a fair amount of common sense he has learned how little he knows, and in competition with his fellow 6tudenta has found himself a commonplace ore among many. He has spent four years learning not to overrate college education. But the folk at home often expect h'm to irflame the river with the torch of learning. If by hard work he achieves something, his neighbors give him no credit, saying that such achievement is to be expected of one who has had the advantages of college.

If, on the other hand, he fails to distinguish himself, his neighbors think his educational opportunities have been thrown away. A young woman who, after her graduation, tried some literary work with moderate success, was sniffed at by some friends who discovered that a well-known writer had not been to college at all. "And yet Ellen, with all the education she's had," they said, "can't write as well as Howells, who is not a college man." When we send the pride of the vil lage academy away to a university, let us not expect that he will be a paragon when he comes back with a degree and a gown. The college cannot create genius in him. If he has real genius he will be less in need of college training than men of less en dowment.

To demand wonders of him simply because he is a college graduate is to misunderstand the purpose of the college and to be unjust to her son. Youth's Companion. DO NOT BE SEC0ND-CLSS IN ANYTHING. tt is said that Daniel Webster made the best chowder in his state on the principle that he would not be second-class in anything. This is a good res olution with which to start out in your career.

Resolve never to be second class in anything. No matter what you do, try tobe a king in it. Have nothing to do with the inferior. Do your best in everything; deal with the best; choose the best; live up to your best. One of the earmarks of a boy with a future is that he is particular about everything.

He is not satisfied to do anything pretty well or to leave things half-finished. Nothing but completion to perfection will satisfy the demand in him for the best. It is those who have this insatiable demand in their natures, and who' will accept nothing short of this, that hold the banners of progress, that set the standards, the ideals, for others. If there is that in your nature which demands the best and will take nothing lees, and you do not demoralize this standard by the habit of deterio-ation in everything you do, you will achieve distinction in some line if you have the persistence and patience to follow your ideal. Bat if you are satisfied with the cheap and shoddy, the botched and slovenly, if you are not particular about quality in your work or in your environment, or in your personal habits, then you must expect to take second place, to fall back into the rear of the procession People who have accomplished work worth while have had a very high sense of the way to do things.

They have not been content with mediocrity. They have not confined themselves to the beaten tracks; they have never been satisfied to do things just as others do them, but always a little better. They always pushtd things that came to their hands a little higher up, a little farther on. It is this little higher up, this little farther on that counts in the quality of life's work. It is the constant effort' to be Arab-class in everything one attempts that conquers the heights of excellence.

Houses that serve an out-of-town trade have done a good business, but in most cases the demand is only fair. The market is abundantly supplied with all kinds of farm products and prices are reasonable. Fruits, on the other hand, are not very plenty and prices are pretty stiff. There is a good market for choice apples." but common offerings move rather slowly." Peaches are very scarce and the offerings of pears are not very large. Cantaloupes are here in abundance and have to go very cheap in most instances.

Blackberries are in light supply, but blueberries have been coming forward freely. The seasion for raspberries is over and for gooseberries is nearly at un end. Cabbages, cucumbers, eggplants and peppers are in very large supply and native tomatoes are coming to market in large quantities. Receipts of onions have been heavy and thej- are lower. Choice sound cabbages have a good sale.

In memory of Dr. O. H. Bill, who went out from Orleans County and made himself a name. His body was brought to Albany from Bridgeport Connecticut July 29 and laid to rest in the family lot in the village cemetery.

Curtis Harvy Bill was born in Al bany July 2, 1835 the second son of Dr. Dyer and Ruth(Ooburn Bill. The following is an extract from the Bridgeport Standard. He attended the schools of his na tive town and after securing a com mon school education he entered the University Medical college of New York city, graduatiua in 1859. He began his career as a physician in Clarksville, and was succeeding in building up a large practice when the first gun was fired at Fort Sumter.

On account of his Northern birth and his refusal of a surgeon's commission in the Confederate army he was driven out of the South by a vigilance committee. He than went to Lou'sville, and the call to arms stirred his martial spirit. After reporting to Gen eral William T. Sherman he was assigned to duty as acting assistant surgeon with the Fifteenth United States infantry. The army records show the splendid service rendered by Dr.

Bill up to the time he was mustered put with the full rank of surgeon in August, 1865. Dr. Bill then came East and located in this city, practically beginning hia professional life anew. But his services for his country and his thorough knowledge of the practice of surgery and medicine soon won him the confidence and patronage of a large clientele and for 25 years or more he has been recognized as one of the most trustworthy and successful physicians in the city. At the time the Bridgeport hospital was instituted he was made member of the visiting staff and he served for ten years, when he resigned and has since been on the consulting staff.

His skill was recognized by many insurance companies, he having been the examining physician for half a dozen of thorn for many years. f. Dr. Bill was a gentleman' of mild manners, kindly spirit, and his many manly qualities made him universally esteemed. His demise will bring sorrow to many.

His services for the poor of the city without any hope of compensation or reward, were extensive but always unostentatious. There are many poor families in this city who have reason to grieve over Dr. Bill's death for even to his last days he would respond willingly to calls from families who he knew were unable to pay for his services, yet he labored for them just as conscientiously and persistently as for the family that paid him large fees. His services were always at the disposal of the humble and instances are many iu which he never rendered a bill. Too much cannot be said of Dr.

Bill's charitable work for he did it in a manner that was devoid of display and it was a subject never mentioned by him. In September 1865 Dr. Bill married Mary J. Worcester, a niece of Joseph E. Worcester, author of Worcester dictionary.

Dr. Bill was direct descendant of a long line of famous English ancestry, particularly of Dr. Thomas Bill, physician to Queen Elizabeth of England. Besides a widow he leaves three children Mary Dr. Philip W.

Bill, and Harold U. Bill. Among the many organizations with which he was affiliated are Elias Howe, post, No. 3 G. A.

the Brooklawn County club, tbe Contemporary club, the Bridgeport Medical society, Fairfield County Medical society; Connecticut Medical society COXTCfCED ON PAGE SIX vm i ii i.ni.n wh urn i it i i mm i If'm?

Water, it seens, is partly their natural element inasmuch aa swamps of vast extent are to be found in, tlieEverglades, and part 'of the distances in their wanderings which these anamlhad to cover had to be done by swimming. This interesting fact goes a long way to prove that no xiompulsion has ever been necessary in their training.

The animals mount the platform without urging oreven guidance and no word of command is employed to prompt them to 'their headlong plunges, i In fact KING and QUEEN quite intelligently appreciate the ments of their feat and go through their performance with every app ear-r ance of pride and pleasure.
