THE organizations known as the Reform
Clubs are making excellent progress in various
parts of the State and are doing good service
for total abstinence. At. Skowhegan, Or.
Mann, of peculiar fame in the medicinal line,
has turned from the evil ways of rum-drink-
ing and rum-selling to become the President
of reform club. The worldly wise scoif and
predict that it is only.a ''seven days wonder"
and that he and all like him will return to the
bad old ways in few months at most. All
this may be true; but isn't it good thing for
a man to reform for few months? Happily,
in hundreds of remarkable instances this is
not the case. They have kept the pledge a
wear, aud to-day are the most effective men
in this great reform. g. -s,-e.- r, ~.

HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY. = The Rutland
Herald tells the following pleasing story of Miss

to Rutland, was SO much regretted by her many
admirers mere, was warm personal friend and
schoolmate of Mrs. Charles H. Sheldon of West
Rutland The friends of Miss Cary here relate
the following pleasing incident, which Illus
trates the characteristic generosity and mag
naninity of the talented prima donna. Dur
ing, or at the close of a concert given by Miss
Gary and others in Poultney some time ago, the
attention of the audience and performers was
directed toward the entrance way to the hall
from whence the martial strains of sTramp,
tramp, tramp" were heard to proceed in sweet
and melodious tones The unusual occurrence
interested all. and Miss Gary, leaving the stage,
promptly made her way to the door where stood
the impromptu vocalist, a little girl meanly clad,
who readily accepted the proffered hand of Miss
Cary, who led her to and back upon the stage,
Here the little one sang several melodies to the
graceful accompaniment of the gifted song
stress, after which, taking gentleman's high
hat for contribution box, Miss Gary passed
quietly through the admiring audience, collect
ing nice donation for her novel protege We
believe this really pleasing, truthful and highly
romantic incident was never published, and as
