complained of the work as above stated,

share of the forty dollars. Defendants

State Convention Of the WOman's
Christian Temperance Union.

Wednesday of last week found the white
ribbon army focking from all parts of the
state toward the beautiful town of St.
Johnsbufy. The morning trains brought
together the officers and the state superin-
tendents OF the different departments, who
met at the home of Mrs. Nelson, at eleven
o'clock, for the preliminary meetings.
Nearly all were present, and each depart
ment showed advance in interest and work
accomplished. Resolutions involving plans
for more aggressive work were adopted.
In the evening was the long anticipated
Demorest gold medal contest. There were
nine speakers, from different parts of the
state, each wearing silver medal, proof
OF having already excelled in local contests.
The gold medal went to Miss Jennie Whit
ney of St. Johnsbury Center. On account
of the almost uniform excellence of the
recitations, there was perhaps more than
the usual difference of opinion with regard
to the awarding of the prize. Miss Blanche
Lucas of Marshtield was thought by many
to be the best speaker and was so marked
by one of the judges.
TIL; delegates had been gathering as
train after train arrived and Thursday
morning the convention was organized,
after very helpful devotional service led
by Miss Leitch of the Ceylon mission.
Among the addresses of welcome and the
responses, the most enjoyable, was that of
little Helen Hall. The address by Mrs.
Housh was full of inspiring thought. She
asks, What do we need to do in Vermont?
Her reply was; First, educate the children;
second, keep temperance truth before the
people. We must not sit down and fold
our hands. The prohibitory law does not
enforce itself. Third, help enforce the
laws; fourth, keep in sympathy with the
work in the world by reading temperance
papers. Add to zeal, knowledge. Be ac-
quainted with the work in the state. Put
guard about our homes by our own pure,
consistent lives. Remember each other
before the throne of grace.
Mrs. G. K. Davidson, the secretary, gave
in her report a new meaning of the letters
"W. c. T. u" Work. Conservation,
Trust, Union" A telegram was received
from the Illinois state convention, in ses-
sion at the same time. 1t was Malachi
iv: 2, 3, and the Vermont convention re-
sponded with l Thessalonians iii II, 49,
Several interesting papers were read
Thursday afternoon. We can only give
few thoughts from that of Miss Amy b.
Fisk. She spoke of the way in which our
forefathers set apart certain funds for pur-
poses of education. 1t was evidently the
plan that little children should have some
Of the benefit of these funds, and Miss Fisk
asked if it was more than just and fair that
some proportion of the public money be de-
voted to kindergartens.
AT rollcall on Friday morning it was
found that there were ninety-hve voters
present, including officers and delegates.
The same officers were chosen for another
year, by almost unanimous votes. Mrs.
Esther I. Housh, president; Mrs. G.. K,
Davidson, secretary; and Mrs. Altha L.
Richmond, treasurer.

James g. Mackie x Co, us. Cable x Cassie
The plaintiffs bring the action to recover
the sum OF S52 for labor performed by them
on monumental spire or shaft. The work
on the monument was let by the Bowers
Granite Company to the defendants, and
they in turn sub-let portion of it, namely,
the shaft, with festoons of drApery around
it, to the plaintiffs. John Lille, the part
ner of Mackie made the arrangement with
Mr.. William Cassie of the defendant firm.
According to the testimony OF the plaintiffs
the contract was made for them to do the
job at the price named, and no qualification
was made as to the work. According to
the custom obtaining in the trade, the
plaintiffs understood they were to do the
work to the satisfaction of the man ordering
it, namely, Mr.. Cassie When the work
was all done he called upon the plaintiffs
and according to their testimony looked
over the work and pronounced il a good
job. He had also seen 1t several times dur
ing the process of manufacture and had con-
graduated them on its appearance, told them
they were doing it very finely. The de-
fendant Cassie sent one of his men to put
the monument in box preparatory to its
shipment to Chicago its destination.
Though requested TO make payment several
times, Cassie did not pay for the work; he
claimed to the plaintiffs that the Bowers
Granite Company found fault with the
work, and that to make the matter satisfac-
tory to them defendant had taken $40 less
on the contract price for the whole job;
and therefore defendants wanted the plain
tiffs to make deduction of $40 on the price
of their work. Plaintiffs would not do this
amount on the ground that defendant Cas-
sic had accepted of the work and taken de-
livery of it.
The defendants version OF the contract
was that Plaintiff Lille had taken the job
on his own risk Of its acceptance by the
