A Big Majority.

The following joke at the expense OF
Colonel A. G.. Halves, as told by the
San Francisco Post, will be relished by
his many friends in this section: The
day after the election he started for the
east, having read that "Cleveland's
majority is $4,000" When he reached
Ogden he heard the station agent say,
Cleveland has 100000" At Omaha
the newsboys yelled in his ears,
cleveland 100000" At Chicago it
had grown to cleveland 100000" In
the early gray of the next morning,
just as the train was slowly moving in
to the city of Cleveland, Ohio, where
breakfast was to be taken, Colonel
Halves was awakened from a gentle
doze by hearing the porter of the car
calling out, "Cleveland, twenty min
utes." The Colonel, whose dreams
were still of Governor Cleveland's in
creasing majOrities, mistoOk the import
of the words, and, jumping in a half
dazed condition from his sleeping berth
into the middle of the car, he invOlun-
tarily exclaimed, "Cleveland TWEEN

Death Of Judge Moore.

The people of Caledonia county will
be saddened To learn of the death of
Harry Moore, which occurred at
McIndCe's Falls on Monday, in his
seventy fourth year. He was born in
Monroe, y. H., Nov. "a, 1909, and re-
moved to Ryegate in 1897, where he
was engaged in tanning and harness
work. He removed to Barnet and en-
tered the employ of the Passumpsic
railroad company in 1859, and re-
mained there until 1875, when he had
shock of paralysis, and since then
has not been engaged in business. He
was assistant judge of the county court
at the time the court was removed to
st. Jobnsbury, superintendent the cree
ton of the county building, and was
quite influential in securing the re-
moval OF the court to this place. He
was a consistent member of the Con-
gregational church at McIndoe's, and
was an upright and honored citizen,
respected and beloved by all who knew
him.

The Directory.

The directory of the villages of st.
Johnsbury and Summerville will be
ready for delivery next week. The
work comprises n volume of over one
hundred pages, of handy form for
use, and will be a useful book of refer
ence. In addition to the directory
proper, it will contain full and COM
plete business directory, lists of the
churches, societies, fire department,
etc, with their officers and time of
meeting. The canvass has been made
very carefully and Systematically, and
great pains have been taken to make
the work as accurate as it is possible
for it to be. The publishers hope they
have succeeded in giving to the pub
lie directory that will be one in fact
us well as in name, and which will be
found useful addition to the necessi-
ties of the home and the cOunting-rOOm.
They rely on the public for the cordial
reception of the work in the matter of
subscriptions, and venture to express
the belief that none will find its pur-
chase an Improbable investment. The
price, fifty cents, is merely nominal
one, and is placed so low that no one
can plead expense as a reason for not
purchasing a cOpV.

Abridging the Lords Prayer.

A clergyman who occupied a strange
pulpit Oh Sunday is the victim of an
omission which is quite joke on him !;
inasmuch as the omission would be
least expected from one of the cloth.
In repeating the Lords prayer in uni
son with the congregation he omitted
the clause, "And forgive us our debts,
us we forgive our Debtors" which ere
ated mOmentary confusion among the
audience. 1t would seem that his IA
miliarity with this simple yet cOmpre-
hensive prayer would be a safeguard
against any omission, but he explains
the omission by saying that in his fa
miliarity with it consists the danger of
making a mistake in repeating it. So
familiar is it that it is repeated with
little mental and more mechanical
process. He says that he never repeats
this prayer in his own church without
fear of making a mistake, and that
prominent clergymen in New York
have expressed to him the same idea.
What makes the omission seem more
singular still, before the prayer was
reached in the order of service, he
TUNED to it in the Testament and re-
freshed his mind with it.

Work.

The WOman's Christian Temperance
union of this place held it's second
meeting of this year at the South
church vestry on Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Truman johnson, president of
the union, conducted the exercises.
The attendance was encouraging, and
the reports from the vice presidents
gave evidence of an effort on the part
of the different branches of the union
to renew their work and to prosecute
it in the various lines which are open
to them. Miss Moore, the state secre-
tary, was present, and briefly but hap
PLY presented the work as a service
of Christian privilege and duty, and
as one which has already given much
occasion for gratitude for good accom-
plished through its instrumentalities
She then spoke of some of the methods
of practical work. The departments
of literature and scientific instruction
stand foremost among these. Our
state normal schools are provided each
with library costing SO, furnished
by the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, to aid teachers in fitting
to give instruction on the nature
and effects of alcohol upon the hu-
man system. Grateful mention was
made of aid received from one of our
ladies, well known by her frequent
gifts to this and kindred objects, to
meet the expense of these libraries.
