men formed in procession and marched around
the room. and no brad was more err ct. no step
more brisk than wa that ct the venerable fath,

A 57TH WEDDING Anniversary

There was a very pleasant gathering at
the house of II. G.. Wilcutt, No. II Clark
street. Saturday. March 20, when the chill
dren, grandchildren and great grandchil-
dren. together with 40 or 80 other friends
and neighbors, met to offer congratulations
to Mr. and Mrs. George II. Willcutt, it be-
ing the j7th anniversary of their marriage.
1t was a genuine surprise TO the venerable
couple, but they We're equal to the occa-
sion and entered into it with as much zest
and enjoyment as the youngest present.
There was one guest with them who was
present at the original wedding Mrs. NJ.
c. Day Of Springfield, Mass, sister of Mrs.
Willcutt. Another sister is living, Mrs.
Elvira Eddy of Bennington, this state who
sent congratulations and presents. The
afternoon and evening were pleasantly
spent rehearsing old-tme stories and songs.
Refreshments were served, and when the
company departed they left behind sub
stantial tokens of their esteem and many
kind wishes that Mr.. and Mrs. Wilcutt
might see more anniversary days, which is
not at all improbable, although the aged
bridegroom may not feel like walking from
Bratteboro to Boston in two days, as he
once did when a boy; still, there are but
few at their age who are as active and
young looking as Uncle George and Aunt
Jane Willcutt. Com

Half inch-Slm.
The difference is not great, but food
costs less here than there, the increased
expenditure being entirely due to the
fact that tho American workman lives
better and uses a greater variety oil
food. Rent, relatively, is indeed higher
but with wages about double, he can
afford to pay a tritie more for this pur-
pose. As a matter OF fact, most OF the
extra pay the American workman
receives goes to buy him Injuries his
kin beyond the sea know nothing about.
10 enable him to live better, to send his
children to school and to lay up for n
rainy day. In short, this pay goes to
make him moro independent more OF a
man and better qualified as a citizen OF
this great republic. ,
Free traders also talk a great deal
about the cost OF clothing, as though
workmen bought clothing as they buy
food and shelter. The European work
man does not worry much about cloth
ing, because he purchases the coarsest
and makes it last for years. To illus
traie this attention Is invited to a valu.
BILE work, entitled Labor and Lille OF
tho People," edited by Charles Booth
mot the Salvation Army Booth). In
this work may be found the expendi-
lures Of nm average English family, in
four classes, namely, those earning 50
per week, those earning s. rs, those
earning Sc 80, and those earning IS.
This covers nearly all classes oil British
workmen. In each case they comprise
the actual expenditures for five weeks
Of a large number OF each class OF faml-
lies. In the class earning So per week
60 per cent OF the expenditures were for
food, 20 per cent for rent, and less than
| per cent for clothing. In the next
class about the same percentage went
for food and 2 per cent for clothing; in
the third class 81 per cent for clothing,
and in the fourth class, or those earning
SIS per week, about 10 per cent for cloth
ing.
The percentage expended for food
drops from 60 per cent in class one is
per week income) to n little over 80 per
cent in class four. The amounts ex-
pended for clothing, however, were in
signiicant-less than % cents in five
weeks by those earning S.; rs cents in
five weeks by those earning S. %; g so
by those earning S. 80, and 81 80 by
those earning IS per week. Period in
each case five weeks. The fact is, the
European workman may exist on his
wages, but he simply goes without what
the American workman thinks is a
necessity.
