WHEN BOSTON SHOOK. An Earthquake That Recked the City November, 1755. On November 18. 1755. “a little after 4 on a serene and pleasant night,” . Boston was roused by an earthquake : which lasted nearly five minutes. A | writer of the times gives an account I of the catastrophe, and Rev. Henry I White quotes tt in his -Early History of New England:’’ One hundred chimneys were leveled | to the roofs of the houses and fifteen ; hundred were shattered in part. The ' streets were covered with bricks which ■ had fallen. The ends of brick houses ‘ were thrown down. It was first introduced with a noise | like several coaches rattling over pave- ’ ments, or rather like many cart loads : of paving stones thrown down. The ' first motion was a strong pulsation. I which threw my house upward. Immediately after a tremor succeeded; then instantly a quick vibration with sudden jerks followed. The first view I had was of ths, steeples of the churches, and I was glad to see them standing, but the spindle and vane of Faneuil Hall market were thrown down. Many persons ran into the streets, ‘ shrieking with apprehension of its be- I ing the last day or the judgment, and I some thought they heard the last trumpet sounding and cried for mercy. The beast creatures lowed, the birds fluttered in surprise, and all the animal creation was filled with terror. Every face looked ghastly, and many knees smote together. Never was such a scene of disaster in New England before. DON'T BORROW MEDICINE. Physician Points Out the Grave Danger of Such a Course. “And whatever you do,” said a doctor to a poor patient, “don't take any borrowed medicine.” -Wasn't that an unnecessary caution?” asked a woman who happened j to be present. “Not in this neighborhood,” said the 1 doctor. “It is a common thing for people down here to lend medicine. They do IL of course, to help each other along. So far as I know, no one has paid the penalty of this neighborly kindness with his life, but it is the greatest wonder in the world that onehalf the people in the neighborhood hasn’t poisoned the other half. “The first thing a sick person does is to describe his symptoms to his friends. He is pretty sure to find somebody in the crowd who has been afflicted with apparently the same ailment. Usually I the former patient has some of the medicine left and straightway it Is proffered as a possible cure. “ ’You might just as well have it,’ says the kindly neighbor. Tt will be pretty sure to help you and will save doctor’s bills.’ “Os course it doesn't do anything of the kind. Nine times out of ten the stuff taken was prescribed for an entirely different ailment and makes the patient worse than he was in the begin- ■ ning, but until the altruistic spirit re-, suits in some serious accident the practice is likely to continue.”—New York Press.

The Chatty English. Every Englishman likes to be alone and have things to himself. If he can- ■ not choose his company, he would rath- ! er have none. Englishmen are proud of the national idiosyncrasy, yet here I comes one who, knowing all this, pays' it no deference, but sets the national I tradition at defiance and forces his intrusive presence on you. Why does this denationalized Englishman, when he may be as solitary as you wish to be yourself, not act as every true Englishman ought and go into the next carriage or take a seat at the other side of the room as far away as he can get from you? By all acknowledged laws of English intercourse he ought as much to dislike being near you as you dislike to be near him.— London Saturday lieview. M iraculous Cures. Reginald of Durham, who wrote a chronicle some time before 1195, asserts that a young English nobleman was cured of leprosy at the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham cathedral and that a young woman who had been for the space of three years an inmate of a large hospital established at Badele. near Darlington, in the diocese of Durham, was miraculously healed at the shrine of St. Godric at I'inchdale in the presence of Ralph Haget sheriff of the county, and Norman, parish priest of Hailtune.—St. James’ Gazette. It Didn't Break. A little girl held a mirror up before a visitor’s face and asked, “Do you see yourself in it?” “Yes, my darling.” “Are you quite sure?” “Yes. Why should I not?” “Because 1 heard mamma say the other day that if you ever peeped into a looking glass you’d smash it all into tiny little bits!” He Could Dodge. "There’s nothing slow about Jones,” he said reflectively. The other laughed scornfully. “I guess you never loaned him any money,” he said. “Oh, yes, I have,” replied the first speaker. “That’s what made me speak that way. I loaned him $lO six months ago, and I haven’t been able to catch him since.” She Got a New One. “I’ve stopped asking people if my bonnet Is on straight.” The Husband —Why, my dear? The Wife—l lova you too much, John, to disgrace you by calling a body’s attention to an old bonnet like thia.—London Tit-Bits.

A HAPPY EVENT (Continued from page 1.) this. He proved an entertaining visitor, and held the attention of all the guests with his jokes and stories, and at the dinner table proved more than equal to the occasion, so say the cooks. Mr. Coffman was born at Pleasant Mills in 1852, educated there and taught school for several years, then went to Kansas with his brother, J. H. Coffman, where they entered a homestead. George has been president of a bank at Erie, Kansas, for several years, and both men have prospered. He will remain just a few days, visiting his sisters, Mrs. Hendricks. Mrs. Beery, of this city, Mrs. Henry Steele, of Pleasant Mills and Mrs. David Springer of Van Wert It is hoped he will not again wait thirty-one years before visiting old Adams county. Forty-two guests enjoyed the dinner Sunday, which proved a success from every point of view. Grandma Hendricks received a number of valuable presents. From Kansas came a S2O gold piece and an absent brother sent a fiver. Every one enjoyed the day immensely and especially did Mrs. Hendricks. The latch string is always out at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hendricks, who heartily say, come again. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks and family, of Portland, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Roop, and son, of Pleasant Mills, Mr. S. G. W. Roop, Mrs. Abe Beery, Mr. L. A. Graham and family. Miss Mae Sells. Mrs. M E Babcock, Miss Jane Hendricks of Decatur, Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Hendricks and family, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hendricks and family, Mrs. Hattie Sells and sons Jess and Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Sells of Elwood, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hoffer and family and Mr. Coffman, of Erie, Kan.

Tomorrow evening the Senior class of 1907 will hold their class day exercises at the central building. The Freshmen class of 1907 is certainly a clever class for here they have had another one of their glorious class parties. The class met at the home of Tom McKean, last evening, at 7:30 o'clock, and played various games along with a gumdrop contest, in which Miss Margaret Hughes received a beautiful bouquet of carnations as prize. At a late hour the host served an elegant four-course luncheon. The home was very pretty with its decorations of the class colors and flowers. Tonight the Sophomores will have a class party at one of the members’ homes. Those who were the guests at the McKean home were: Misses Bernice Dailey, Lucile Cusac, Mae Elezy, Margaret Hughes, Lois Meyers, Grace Dutcher, Alma Dailey, Clara Peters, Perth Crays, Ruby Parrish, Effie Patton.
