t,,.-Thinking few Items would be inter-
estinp 10 your readers, ] therefore deem It
not out of place to say that we had the pleas
use ofattcnding the supper given by the gen
crous and hospitablc ladies Of Oakland Church
during the holidays, it was most enjoyable
affair. and quiet, a snowy occasion which was
ayailed Of 10y many gallant young men with
their sleighs and fast stecds, but regret to say
that one Of the fsstidious young knights Of
Waldorfwas deprived ofthc exquisite pleasure
of sleighing with some fair one on that occa-
sion, by the upsetting and total smash up ofhis
sleigh We were sorry our friend from Wash
ington Mr.. T. b. who became so thoroughly
cnamorcd with the fair ones Of Waldorfand
vicinity, was not present, as hs entertaining
anecdotes would have greatly added to the
festvity of the occasion. ! am sure he has
regretted not being there more than once, as
he again could have observed his rivals black
steeds. We cannot say whether it is envy or
jealousy, but we sympnthize with him and
hope his case is not a serious one Fearing
Mr. Eitor in conclusion that our meagre dis
cripton Of the occasion and our disultory re-
marks might detract from instead of adding
ia the pleasure of your humorous readers, will
end with the promise Of more in the future.

long time on wood alone and unless exter-
minated will again make trouble. Never
build nests that cannot be easily removed and

HouesT 11assumIng and sincere he was always
content to remain plain country clergyman
his only ambition being to follow in the foot
steps of the meek and lowly Savior, who came
on earth to teach us all humility.
He was born in Washington CITY in Janu-
AIRY 1898 and consequently was in his s3rd
year when he died lie was ordained TO the
priesthood ofthe P E. Chur, in Christ Cbur, h
Alexandria Va. BY Bishop Moore Of that
Diocese in 1925, and therefore was in the min
istry ffty-seycn years. His st CHARGE was

preached one year In 1924 he came to this
county and took charge of Durham parish.
where he remained until 1910 when he took
charge of st. PauPs parish in Calvert county
until 1915. In that year he returned 10
Durham parish in this county, where he re-
manned until the day ofhis death. A strong
aud robust man he enjoyed remarkable health
until about the last two years. About five
years ago the Rev j. c. Taylor became his as
sistant, but Mr. Prout continued to assist in
the services and preached regularity once a
month until about eight months ago when his
health became very precarous Indeed at
one time during the past summer his death
was momentsrily expected, but he rallied, and
though feeble he was able to be out and about
his place until shortly before his death.
During his long services as rector in Dur
ham parish Mr., Prout received no compensa-
ton or salary from his parishioners, but gave |
his services gratuitously, and besides was one
of the most liberal contributors on all scca-
sions to the support of the church and parish.
Mr.. Prout was married twice, and his last
wife, whom he married few years ago, sur
wives him. lie leaves no children
He was buried at the parish church on the
