DR.. Moon passed Sunday with the
folks at home.
John Paddock of Brown University
came to attend his sisters funeral.
4 That was a pleasant episode at the
turkey supper, the reading Of Mrs. War
ner's valentine enclosing five-dollar
bill. The ladies passed cordial vote Of
thanks to the thoughtful donor.
None were more interested In that
timely topic, "The French Canadian in
his family. The professor is man of
loyalty to his people, the home of his
adoption in the north, and the best inter-
ests of America everywhere.
The few citizens who heard President
Whitman of Colby University, at Fuller
hall returned with convictions of the
years may attain. ply steal, Intellectual
and oratorical. The occasion was more
than an inspiration. 1t was pledge of
the success that attends endeavor. The
presidents beaming countenane graces q

and his address at Chicago appears in
part in one of the portly volumes.
7 The round of suppers attained its

evening. The tables were well loaded
and tastefully decorated and the service
rendered by the young people of the So
ciety was of the most attentive. The
tables where confections were dispensed
were adorned in Japanese style and the
maidens who attended wore Japanese
costumes. With abundant patronage
there was true old-time sOciability and
the gains were not only of the substan-
tial, that enriched the treasury but also
of genuine good feeling The ladies,
one and all, are to be congratulated upon
the success achieved.
Mr. Utley Of Vermont Academy and
Mr.. Field of the public school and others
gave substantial aid in the discussion of
1.-THE French Canadian in New Eng
land at the Baptist vestry Sunday
evening. Interest in the subject increased
to the close. Now it is hoped that
Francis Parkmans fascinating histories
will be read, treating as they do the
French col quests in North America and
the conflicts with both the English and
Americans which ensued. The reader
will gain two things; first, information,
and second, an intensified love of his
torical narrative. "Pioneers of France
in the New World" and ssMontcalm aud
Wolfe" might be suggested.
Ethel, only daughter of Rev. Charles
A. Paddock of the Christian Secretary,
Hartford, Conn, died at her mothers
former home, the residence of Hon. John
A. Farnsworth, on the morning of the
10th instant, at the age of IL years.
She had gone with her mother last De-
cember to try the life-giving air of San
Antonio, Texas; but the search for i'm
proved health becoming vain, she made
hasty return, arriving on the Friday
before the fatal Monday. Death came
as sweet and blessed release from the
thin and wasted frame and the spirit
took the journey that knows no return.
Ethel was child of extraordinary prom
Use. Rare opportunities for travel and
residence in Germany had stimulated her
naturally quick mind. On her return
she soon gained and held first rank in
her grade of the public school at her
home in Hartford. Her sympathies
were broad for one SO young. She will
be greatly missed in the circles that were
graced by her winsome life. Her be-
reaved father and mother and the broth
ers who mourn her early death are the
objects of universal sympathy. Their
sadness is tempered by the memory of
the simple and thoughtful faith Of the
dying child in a personal and living Re-
deemer. Surely a child may die tri-
umphant death, for so Ethel died.
