In Now England 100 years ngo It was
by no menu* uncommon for people to
provide their coffins' long before their
(lentil nnd keep the same In their
houses, where they could m*e them ev
ery day. It was perhaps n custom hav
ing tin* same purpose and significance
as fhe skeleton at the feasts of the an
cient Greeks, to remind the living in
their hours of levity of tho seriousness
of life and tin* certainty of death.
Tills wns not the Idea, however, of a
man mimed Lindsey, whom people now
living In Leeds may remember or at
least have heard of. 11 «* built his own
cotlln many years before lie died and
used to keep It in a chain her of Ids
house, lie used It generally to keep
beans in. It was a very line coffin,
made of mahogany and nicely finished
and polished. Mr. Lindsey made it
with his own hands and gave iih reason
that If he left the task of providing
him with a eottln to his sous It would
he Just like them to put him in a hem
lock one. l’crhaps the boys did not |
relish the implication. At liny rate,
they did not like to have the eoftin
nbout the house nnd took It away one ]
night and threw It into the river. It '
was found several miles below, consld- ;
ernbly broken and battered ns It went
over the rips, and old Lindsey hoard i
alnMit It. drove down and got it nnd j
was flunlly burled In It.

Mrs. Rebecen Harding Davis says In
her "Bits of Gossip” thnt Emerson ns
she met him In Concord in 18tI2 was a
typical Yankee In appearance: "Tho
tall, gaunt man with the watchful, pa
tient face nnd slightly dazed eyes, his
hands clasped behind his back, that
came slowly down the shady vlllngo
street toward the Wayside that sum
mer day wns Uncle Sam litmself lu ill
titling hrown clothes. I linva ofteu
wondered that none of tils blogrnphcrs
Imvo noticed the likeness.”
Emerson said to Mrs. Davis: "I wish
Thorenu had not died before you came.
He was an Interesting study." Sbo
asked why, nnd nfter a moment lie re
plied: "Henry often reminded me of
an animal In human form. He hail the
eye of n bird, the scent of a dog, the
most ncute, delicate Intelligence, but
no aoiil. No," be repeated, shaking
bis head with decision, “Henry could
not have had n human soul."
Mrs. Davis remarks on Hawthorne’s
shyness nnd on his love of seclusion,
which Indeed wns n family trait: "Per
sonally lie was a rather short, power
fully built man, gentle nnd low voiced,
with a sly, elusive humor gleaming
sometimes In his wntehful grny eyes.
The portrait with which we nro all fa
miliar, a curled bnrbor shop head,
gives no lden of the singular, melan
choly ohnrm of his face. There was a
mysterious power In it which I have
never seen elsewhere In picture, statue
or human being."

A gasoline engine furnishes the cheapest power obtainable for
pumping water, running wood saws, churns or any kind of ma
chinery. Farmers who have light work where power is required,
will find a gasoline engine “the very thing”. However, they are
made in all sizes, from I to ioo horse power: and the man who
wants a large engine for any purpose will find a gasoline engine
perfectly satisfactory.
A gasoline engine is far less dangerous than a steam engine; is
easily and quickly started and stopped; and can be run by any
person of ordinary intelligence, without any knowledge of ma
chinery.
The International gasoline engine furnishes safe and cheap
power. It’s “a beauty” in every respect, and does its work per
fectly. (
You can see an International in operation in the News office.
The owner will take pleasure in showing it in operation to all call
