MIR. Elmer Kellogg, WAC resides on
Franklin street, an employee in the Cen
trail Vermont car shops, was suddenly
stricken down by paralysis three weeks
ago last Saturday, while at his work in
the shop. Mr.. Kellogg is IS years of
age. He is now very sick, most of the
time unconscious, and is not expected to
live. He has been a member of the
Methodist church here for some years
he is much respected by his brethren in
the church, by his fellow laborers in the
shop, and by all who know him. He is
poor, and we are glad to learn that the
men in the shop, and his friends in the
church, are literally providing for his
comfort in what are, probably, his last
days. Such cheerful responses, and
generous sympathy so tangibly expressed
in time of need, are some of the hope
ful evidences that human hearts are not
all ''stones or senseless things"
