tl^at il is impossible to remedy them; 

 byt a penitent prodigal son will ever 

 find, eVen to the last, a forgiving 

 Heavenly Father. The old-fashioned 

 idea has been exploded that a young 

 m«|i must sow a certain quantity of 

 wild oats to give him a correct pro- 

 portion of the things of this world. 

 Dragging your fair name through moral 

 filth and contamination may make you 

 wise; but it not only unftts you for a 

 keen appreciation of the best in thiff 

 life but handicaps you in the race for 

 the life to come. So, in God's king- 

 dom, any one who will surrender him- 

 self fully a.iid freely to the Heavenly 

 Father's plans will develop to the ut- 

 termost a well-rounded character." 



DEBBY, N. H. 



At an early hour on Sunday morning, 

 December 11, the building occupied by 

 the Benjamin Chase Co., of* this city, 

 was burned to the ground. The com- 

 pany is well known in the trade on 

 account oi one of the products of its 

 factory, wooden plant labels. When the 

 fire broke out, it was evident from the 

 first that the large mill was doomed. 

 The fire and smoke first issued from 

 the northeast corner and then enveloped 

 the entire building. The attention of 

 the firemen was therefore directed to 

 the saving of adjoining property. 



The main building of the plant was 

 40x85 feet and four stories high. To 

 this was attached a 3-8tory wing, 30x40, 

 and a 2-story wing, 18x20. Stored in 

 the mill, and burned along with it, were 

 about 100,000 feet of kiln-dried lumber, 

 varying in price from $75 to $110 per 

 thousand feet, besides a quantity of 

 finished products that were awaiting 

 shipment. It is estimated that the real 

 property loss will exceed $25,000 or 

 $30,000, which is only partly covered by 

 insurance. The loss in addition to this, 

 of the time in rebuilding and getting 

 into operation again, will be consider- 

 able. Preparations for rebuilding were 

 begun at once. 



Twenty-seven years ago a mill that 

 stood upon the same site was destroyed 

 by fire. It had been built several years 

 betore by Benjamin Chase, when he 

 commenced the manufacture of reed 

 ribs, etc. He rebuilt the burned struc- 

 ture and resumed business. In 1893 his 

 nephew, John C. Chase, who was living 

 in North Carolina, became identified 

 with the concern and a few years later 

 took the general charge of the business. 

 In 1907, after successfully conducting 

 the business for an even forty years, 

 Benjamin Chase disposed of it to the 

 Benjamin Chase Co., which had been 

 recently incorporated, and, becoming 

 president of the company, retired from 

 active connection with the work. John 

 C. Chase became treasurer and general 

 manager, and Charles B. Chase assistant 

 manager, the last named having been 

 in the employ of the concern since 1890. 



Watertown, Conn. — Henry A. Koeske 

 is using a part of one of his green- 

 houses as a winter home for his chick- 

 ens, and this fact seems to have at- 

 tracted the attention of the daily news- 

 papers, several of which have contained 

 announcements similar to this: "Mr. 

 Boeske has screened off part of a 

 greenhouse and placed his pullets in the 

 warm enclosure. The pullets scratch 

 in ten inches of soil on the cement 

 floor and, seeing flowers in bloom 

 through the screen, think it is summer 

 and go to laying.''
