The excursion to Fort Ticonderoga un-
der the auspices of Ivy Lodge, Daughters
of Rebekah, advertised elsewhere, is one of
the finest and most enjoyable trips that can
be made The 600 people who went on the
excursion to that point last season were all
enthusiastic over 1t. The trip requires
three hours each way on Lake Champlain,
and plenty OF time is given at the fort to
visit the historic ruins. Plan to take your
lunch basket and go along.

song By Herbert Chapman was interspersed
to which he was obliged to respond with an
encore and e. A. Mutt read Whstling in

REV. G. E. DAVIS of Melrose, Mass, who
delivers the address in Seminary chapel
this morning before the alumni association,
is we'll remembered by the students at that
institution quarter of century ago. He
| graduated with distinguished honors, and
since completing his education at Wesleyan
University has easily ranked among the
foremost pulpit orators in the New England
Conference. AS pastor of the Peoples
Church in Boston for five years, he was Pc
| culiarly successful, and prov ID worthy
successor of Rev. DR.. j. w. Hamilton, the
founder and builder of that edifce,
W. H. III. DICKINSON, a WATCHMAN sub.
scriber at Loyalton, So Dakota, writes that
he his dining chair, one Of set of five,
made in Washington, Vt. fifty years ago by
Joel Larnard But what is chiefly interest
ing about this chair is the fact that after
half century OF wear bullet has recently
been discovered in the upper side of the
seat. This missile, Mr.. Dickinson judges
must have been fired nearly one hundred
years ago Indications plainly show that
the bullet was there long time before the
tree from which the chair was made was
cut. Any theory that Young America of
past generation may have been using the
chair for target could not be sustained by
the evidence in the case.
