HOW GOSHEN, MASS., GOT ITS NEW TOWN HOUSE. Interest on, a Hundred Dollars Invested Many, Years Ago. There has been erected a new town house at Goshent Mass., which cost 515,000. The "idea of building it and a part of the funds for its erection came from tho bequest of John James, who, a. great many years ago, gave $100, with tho condition that It bo kept on TOWN HOUSE, .QOSnEN, MASS, interest for 100 years and the proceeds then devoted to the needs of tho town and tho church. In his day, the town and thof church were one, but, of course ondltions- are different now. nbwev. cf, tho townspeople straightened this Ot amlcably ant one of the things He tided upon was that 53,000 of the fund should constitute a nucleus for building a new town house.: Through public spirited individuals Ihe fund was advanced to $15,000,' and too lino building shown here Is tlio re sult. . It is an excellent testimonial of iho lbyallty pf a former citizen. The ground dimensions' of the buildlrig are sljcty by forty ff$t. The first, Uoor is gjyen over to. a largo hall, with n good sized stage. Tho upper floor has n so- iai room twenty-four feet. The first floor is given over to a kitchen.

It must have been five min utes before they got through laughing all over tho house. In that time the feathers were so thick they followed in a boiling streak after every skater. Tho manager declared a recess of ten minutes whllo they swept out the hall, nnd at this point came another, big laugh, as after three men had been sweeping twenty minutes they hadn't got over three feathers out Inlo (he street. Some fellow suggested sprinkling, so they did, but most of them were in tho air nnd wouldn't como down to be sprinkled, so they had to close the rink for the afternoon. The manager of the rink tried to col lect damages from my father, and I think there was a compromise made. Thought He Needed Them.

Finally a kind shopkeeper plac ed the cat. In his window, where she could see without, danger to herself. To Find a Remainder.
