Trolley parties are becoming popular
in all cities where trolley railroads are
in operation and the fact goes quite a
ways towards explaining the eXtroadin-
AIRY patronage these roads enjoy. which
has been so surprising in Brattleboro
and only Il degree less so wherever
they have been introduced. The idea
started in Boston and the suburban
towns where for long time past il has
been a customary occurrence to form
these parties. charter one or more mo
tor cars and band and 20 around the
circuit. Boston has such multipli
city of these lines and they pass
through SO many pleasant suburban
places that il is no wonder that trolley
parties are popular. Philadelphia also
has the fever, and now Brooklyn
comes into line, the first trolley party
in the latter city having enjoyed a
long ride one night last week. The
party included more than 300 persons
and occupied six cars. each of which
was trimmed with bunting and flags
and hung with many electric lights Of
various colors. There is no good rea
son why trolley parties should not find
favor everywhere. individuals flock
to the motor ears on hot summer nights,
for breeze can always be found on a
fast moving car.

taken place there long years ago, much
to the amusement of the younger mem
bers. Songs by M. M. Miller, 1.-The
Home of Ny Boyhood, and others
were greatly, enjoyed, but perhaps the
most touching were the letters and
poems from relatives, not able to be
present, and some in the far western
Dakotas. As they wrote of their
recollection of the old home, point after
point could be traced SO closely b!y, all
that there was unmistakable evidence
that although years have passed and
exciting scenes of the great west have
come in between, the memories OF their
childhood days were as bright in their
minds as of those who have visited
the old place many times each year.
The day was we'll spent and some
needed the light of the harvest moon
before they reached their homes.

The attention of our readers is called
to the advertisement elsewhere in this
issue, of Smiths Rheumatic Cure. 1t
is the preparation of Mr.. George G.
Smith, one of the foremost druggists
of the state. and is the outcome of
years of careful study and experimental
work, 1t has been on the market for
many years. but until now has never
been advertised except by word of
mouth, and in this primitive way has
acquired a reputation which has put it
in the front ranks, as far as SAFES are
concerned, Judging from the thou
sands of testimonials as to its efficacy
which Mr.. Smith has in his possession.
it would seem that it does what is
claimed for it, cures rheumatism by
eliminating acid from the blood by its
action upon the liver and kidneys.

When We have willing mind, every
thing good and beautiful and true con
spires to help u.s. All nature then be
comes pervaded with diviner beauty.
and we see God everywhere present in
the advancing or receding year. He
smiles upon us in the sunrise Or sun
set: He seems to hold us in His en-
bracing arms in the long summer DAYS.
Our life then grows more full of God.
All its events have "a providential
meaning. None arrive by blind chance
or stern necessity. Our friends come
to us from God when they leave us,
they go TO Him. Thus. having Moth
ing, we possess all things. In one
sense, nothing is ours: in another. all
things are ours. Of ourselves and bv
ourselves we are nothing, but in God
we have all things For all things are
tending inevitably toward that great
contamination of being which we de-
sire. All things are working together
for good while we love God. ~ flames

what he allots. ID. r. Miller.

Two of the Kurn Hattin home boys
at Westminster, who have driven cows
for different persons on the street to
and from the pastures, succeeded in
collecting a few dollars from different
ones who would be owing them or their
guardian, at the close of the season,
and started last Friday to make a trip
on their own responsibility. They
landed in Boston after some little de-
viations, it is understood, and will be
brought back soon. This is the first
