Members night at the Vermont Wheel
club, which was celebrated last Friday
night, drew out large attendance. 1t was
one of those occasions which it is necessary
to attend in order to appreciate. A ban
quet, the first in order, was served by Mrs.
Farr, after which the members retired to
Grange hall for their "smoke talk" which
took the form of a minstrel and variety
show The walls were adorned with nu-
merous placards bearing local "hits" which
were particularly effective. AS the curtain
rose for the minstrel performance the actors
were deluged with choice souvenirs of the
frying pan, which they accepted graciously.
Messrs. Gale, Brasor, Durgn and Putnam
were end men, and with Henley as inter-
locutor, they made such a display of wit
as would have made a professional min
strel troop turn green with envy. A series
of specialtles followed, which included liv-
ing pictures, showing members of the club
in ludicrous situations, sparring contests be-
tween various well-known pugilists, stump
speeches, ETC., all of which were generously
applauded. The slight-of-hand perform
ances by Fl. F. Jordon were the really
meritoriOus feature of the occasion. His
expose of the methods employed by false
spiritualists, and his performance of sew
eral seemingly impossible feats were won
derful. When the committee having af-
fairs in charge decided that it was time to
clear the hall sizable charge of red pepper
was fired into the room from shot gun
and the members found it expedient to
retire without further invitation.

city. The main portion of the article is

made by him after his return from Mime
apolis recently, and with the substance of
which Brattleboro people are familiar.
The journal article says that the Mime
apolis friends of j. A. Wright. the promo
ter and manager of the Wright building
scheme, admit the truth of all the charges
made regarding his mismanagement of the
property. "The showing was so much
against him at the late annual meeting
that, after the auditing committee had re-
ported, even his own friends did not SUM-
port him. DR., j. f. Force, who was chair
man OF the meeting, went into it as a friend
OF Mr.. wright, but when he learned the
true STATE OF affaiTs he was as earnest as
any one in demanding a Reorganization.
and was elected president" 1t is added
that DIR. Force and others believe that
there was no dishonesty, either in action
or intention, 1t was simply carelessness and
lamentable lack of business methods.

The case of the United States govern
ment against the Joint Traffic association
for alleged violation of the Sherman anti
trust law was first heard by Judge II. III .
Wheeler, sitting in the circuit court in New
York city about one year ago Judge
Wheeler's decision was in favor of the rail
road companies. The case went upon ap
peal to the court of appeals for the second
circuit, where Judges Wallace and La
combe sustained Judge Wheeler's decision
in decision rendered by them week be-
fore last. Almost simultaneously with
this decision came the decision of the
United States supreme court in the Trans
Missouri case, unfolding the contention of
the government and declaring the railroad
pool combine illegal. 1t is this decision of
the supreme court with its apparent or
probable bearing on the Joint Traffic case
which has caused so much excitement i'm
railroad circles, and the discussion of which
now fills the columns of the daily news.

MY DEAR IOM:-
Now for the social whirl. Everything
this week has centered about the Prom
last night. 1t was a big success. And
sister Dorothy felt quite proud to lead
the grand march with her Senior
brother. All the old set were there
smiling and iollying one to his face, the
same as ever, old man. Then there
were a few new ones. Among them
mighty fine girl from some little toxin
down in the corner OF the state where
Jimmy Howell hales from. She's a
Q nall brunette, I a big bonn ees that
make q fellows heart fiutter, and
dark hair. which she wore high, with
red rose nesting in the tresses. She
car led a bunch OF the same flowers
against her simple white dress She
was bright and a good talker and diffe--
emit from most OF the others. She said
about what she thought and had dash
OF fun running through all her sayings.
She's Just the kind OF person who'd
have made practical joker il she d been
q man. Oh, yes. l forgot to tell you
her name Fannie Phelps, Jim called
her. And she writes it in big thin.
wire-li letters. rather ghost-iike in
their effect if you can imagine such
thing. l saw it where she had written
on the outside Of her program. She's
girl I'd like to know better-about the
first l can say that of-but there's no
chance. as she leaves tomorrow Tor the
east somewhere and sail for Germany
in about a month.

The Ark, upon the

Is anchored in the

Its yielding hull,
in gray decay
The rounding years
wear fast away.
Yet, CLOVIS in heaven

OF covenant with
Love Divine,
That, nurturing dew
and kindly rain,
Shall feed the grass
and fill the grain.
Adown the slopes
the vine grows green,
The clustering grapes
have purple sheen;
The herds and flocks
divide the fields;
The broken tilth
its plenty yields.
Our Lord is patient

Through all per

Alike to evil

His bounty yields

affairs overthrown,
And stand His
