from Richford for the past six weeks,
was discovered on Friday at work
pany's works in Nashua He was
discovered by employees reading a
description published in the Union
The boy refused to give any account
of himself, but has worked steadily
here since his arrival Rev. Mr.
Dodd and States Attorney Brown
of Richford arrived in Nashua Mon
day for the purpose of taking the
missing boy back to his home. The
meeting of father and son at the po-
lice station was an affecting one.
They left for home on the early train.
The boy, who is an intelligent lad of
count of snOw-balling fracas with
a young lad, for which he was repri-
manded by his mother. After leav-
ing home he tramped for Al miles to
Barton Landing, and between Sat
urday and Tuesday afternoon had
nothing to eat but an apple and
little corn which he picked from the
floor of q freight car. The lad made
one or two applications for food dur
ing that time, but, getting a cold re-
fusal, he made up his mind to stand
it as long as possible before asking
again. At Nashua the boy had been
at work under the name of Geo.
Morse, an orphan from Wells River;
but when the notice sent out by his
father was read to him and he was
asked if he was not the Robert l..

Woman Sufraeists at Barre.

The state woman suffrage associa-
ton held its fifth annual meeting at
Barre last week. Mrs. l. L. Beeman
Of Barre made the address of vel
come. She referred to the old story,
that man held the purse strings, but
reminded her hearers that there were
800 occupations for women now.
Mrs. NJ E. Tucker of Brattleboro
made response in her annual adj
dress. She believed it was a good
omen that women should meet so
near the capital where they had suf
fered so severe n defeat. The Legis-
lature of 1883 she called a fossilized
specimen which would never be dug
up. Miss Laura Moore of Barnet,
the secretary, made a report in which
she referred to the foundation of
many societies of Christian endeavor
as helpful to the cause of woman
suffrage. There has been 81 petitions
for woman suffrage presented to the
Legislature and the sad fate of the
defeated bill was reviewed at length.
Col. Albert Clarke, late editor of the
Rutland Herald, delivered the princi-
pal address, which was a review of
woman's cause throughout the
United States. One could not argue
five minutes against woman suffrage,
he said, without talking against the
state constitution. He closed by
saying he had hoped Vermont would
be foremost in this cause, but as
Kansas had taken that from her, she
should crown herself with glory by
being the first state to give woman
the full voting right with man. Yer
mont should be crowned by the
greatest and foremost honor as the
champion of universal liberty These
officers were chosen: President,
Hosea Mann of Wilmington; secre-
tary, Miss Laura Moore of Barnet.

me MUSICAL COHFeHIlOH
The musical convention last week
under the leadership of J. HI. Humph-
rey of St. Johnsbury was a great sue
cess and nearly so attended the re-
hearsals on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Thursday afternoon there was
matinee in the Congregational
church which was largely attended
by our townspeople. The chorus
opened with See the rivers flowing"
by Reay. The chorus was accom-

songs by Mrs Gray and Mrs. Ide
were finely rendered and highly APP

lions in his usual highly finished
manner. The ST. .Johnsbury soloists
were H. H May, basso; Mrs. Min
ME B. Hazen, contralto; Mrs. ]. H.
Humphrey, soprano. Mr.. May sang
80 happy day." Mrs. Hazen, New
Kingdom" and Mrs. Humphrey,
Under the daisies" These soloists
together with E. A. Silsby also of
St. .Johnsbury, who sang in the even
ing, added much to the success of the
convention and their appearance al
ways called out round of applause.
The convention closed with a con-
cert in the evening which was at

all the Lyndons and by a score of st.

leaders instruction and opened the
entertainment with a brilliant rem
dering of Costa's with sheathed
swords" with piano and cOrnet &C
compartment. Mr.. May sang Hap
py go lucky" in so pleasing manner
that the audience promptly recalled
him. The chorus followed with the
psalmody "Now the day is over"
MIR. Silsby delighted the audience
with his solo and responded to a
pleasing encore. Mr.. MONEYS two
cOrnet solos were delicately and ac-
curately rendered and elected merit
ed applause Mrs. Hazen was en-
Enthusiastically received and sang THE
finger post" and on an encore a
EatOn's piano solos were given with
a finish and grace which all enjoyed.
Mr.. Bacon appeared twice during
the evening and gave three selections.
From an artistic standpoint the first
selection, THE three parsons was
undoubtedly the best. Mark Twain's
punch with care" and M. Quad's
side splitting story of the man who
brought down the house.
A st. ,Johnsbury quartette consisting
of Messrs. Amidon and Lee, Mrs.
Bonett and Miss kempton sang
"profundo basso' which was very
funny. Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs.
Hazen sang a duet and the chorus
gave the story of Jack and Jill, a diff
fcult round that was successfully
rendered. The concert closed with
cantata Wreck of the
Hesperus' with solos by Mrs. |
and Mr.. May. The solos |

his FACE Is BROAD FAIR AND FAT;
the checks puff out, and pair of small,
half almond eyes shine like diamonds under
a broad forehead, which goes on and on
upward until it fades away into fuzzy
of Reeds crown. Reeds mouth IS a
strong one, and he has a struggling red
mustache on his upper lip containing about
en- 0ugh bristles to make camel's HAIR
brush Reeds hair is the thickest at the
sides and at the back. 1t is not luxurlant
at any place, and he combs the sandy locks

ends of them Just touch the collar OF his
coat This big, round head is pasted down
upon Reeds broad, fat shoulders with lat,

chair in the House. with his hands up under
his chin and elbows leaning on his desk,
you wonder whether he has any neck at all.
and you can hardly imagine him to be the
greatest man among all the members sur
rounding him.
Let discussion come up and you won
der no longer. REED eyes begin to
twinkle a queer smile hovers around that
big mouth, and moment later you see him
throw his six feet into the arena Of debate
and, in sharp nasal twang, he pours sal
casm and argument out at friend and foe
AS he goes on with his speech his cheek,
CHANGE FROM WHITE TO RED,
his semi bald pate becomes the color Of
boiled lobster, and he gestures violently
with his arms, emphasizing every sentence
with shake of his head. He cares but
little for appearances, and during the
quleter part of the session he walks about
the House with his hands in his pockets,
stopping now and then TO tell a story to
crowd of brother members, and making
laughter wherever he goes. He is always
ready with story or speech. He never
writes out his speeches for the Record and
seldom corrects the proof of them as taken
down by the stenographers. He can make
as good an after dinner speech as Con
gressional one, and he enjoys the good
things of this life as well as any other mai
in Congress.
Tom Reed is, however, simple in his
habits. He is not money saver nor
money accumulation, and he would be
richer man if he had remained out of Con
gress. During his past career he has lived
very simply at Washington. His quarters
were in the Hamilton house, private
hotel frequented largely by New England
ers. Reed had couple of little rooms VI
near the attic, and he worked away at his
desk against tue wall and under Jet
