Postmaster +. w. Childs has so
far recovered from his illness as to be
able to make brief trips abroad and
was at the Chester Muster. And
thereby hangs a pleasing incident.
We quote from the Bellows Falls
Times:
A pretty feature of the day when
the president was welcomed to our
town, took place at the residence of
Mrs. z. A. Fullerton. When the
parade reached the house, twelve
young ladies, Misses Hadley, Chand-
ler, Dunsmore, Davis, Keep, Green
leaf, Wheelock, Childs, Henry, Kim
ball, Wiley and Hunt, all gowned In
white, presented to each of the party
a boquet from Capt. F. w. Childs,
composed of red white and blue flow
ers with a spray Of cedar. Tied to
the boquet with national culors was
the card of the giver and small gold
and silver barrel filled with spruce
gum. These young ladies afterward
had a special presentation to the
party, who expressed their apprecia-
tion of the gift.

EDITOR OF SITTER: While in your
town short time since | was re-
minded of the many changes that
have taken place within the past seven
years. AS | called from house to
house how many vacant chairs were
found. When any member of the
family is taken from the home b,
death, large vacancy is made, but
the greatest vacancy is made when
the mother is taken from the home
circle. BY the death of Mrs. Mary
Lawrence such vacancy has been
made in her late home. Enfeebled
by disease and age her. place was in
her home and that place she nobly
filled. We always found her inter.
ested in the work of the church and
society. She was great reader and
kept herself posted in the affairs of
the government and no one was more
loyal than she. AS dear mother, a
kind neighbor and true friend she will
be greatly missed. May she be kept
in loving remembrance and as the
flowers are laid upon her grave by
loving hands, may faith behold her
in the land where the flowers never
wither and where death will never
come.

Parker J. Buxton Of Woonsocket,
r. l., native of this town, is visiting
the scenes of his early life. He is one
OF the many good fellows who left Ver-
mont to succeed in business in other
states. We always find him vivacious
and full of life but, with all this, slight
ly demented. We hate to say it, and
maybe we are mistaken. Well state
the case and let the reader judge: Mr..
Buxton visits this town every few
years and then comes in to pay his
subscription and always insists upon
paying more than the regular price.

1t often happens that we speak
In an ill-chosen phrase,
And find that what was really said
Is likely to amaze.
Her manner distant long had made
The young man hesitate,
At last he took his pen in hand
And sought to know his fate.
OF course she had the answer pat.
But 1t was scarce in.taste,
To write to him no more than yes"
And sign with Yours. in haste"

ULcIe Sias Whitman came into
this office Monday, feeling well and
hearty, and with clear mind and
conscience, to tell us that it was bis
righlieth birthday. Mr.. Wmtman's
whole life has been spent in SO Lon
donderry. He was here when the vii
Iage consisted of saw mill, potash
and two or three buildings. Many
of the shade trees that adorn Nam
street were set out by his hand and
many Of the earlie buildings were of
his constructluA. That he is still
we'll and moving among us and peace
fully passing the latter part Of his
life is matter of congratulation to
scores of friends. His has been a
useful life; idleness had no lodge
ment in it. The reward, they say, is
to come hereafter, They need not
say it; it follows as necessity. The
man or woman, whether Jew or gen.
tile, Christian or infdel, who has
brought up respectable family and
has been useful to the world need
have no fear of the life to come. 1t
will be but a step up higher with
broader fields to cultivate, and they
may clank the old church bell. and
pound the pulpit cushion until it aches
without altering this one iota.
A large number of our townspeople,
men and women, attended the Mus
ter at Chester on Friday. But two,
so far as we have been able to learn,
had their pockets picked. The pick
pocket part of the show was in evil
dence at the street, depot, camp
grounds and all around. The woods
were full of them and they exhibited
a training that put to blush the mill
tia brigade. In fact had ''the boys
been half as well trained the show
would have been better. 1t is be-
lieved that several thousand dollars
were flched from pockets that day,
and this doesn't take iuto account the
indirect gouging that was to be met
with on every hand. 1t was great
day, big farce and a high old steal
ing time.
Two pickpockets were arrested and
have been lodged in Woodstock Jail.
Both Chester hotels were raided in
the morning and quantity Of beer
and hard stuff seized. One Stowell
claimed to have leased the bar and
was running it. He was fined S75.
and given 80 days in the house Of
correction. Landlord Rowell had
his hearing continued until the 30th
and gave bonds iu the sum OF 5000.

New York's Greatest Scene.

New York's famous thoroughfare,
Broadway, has been the scene of
some wonderful events. But the
one scene which still stands as the
most remarkable, in point OF enthu-
siam, is Louis Kossuth's famous ride
up Broadway, In 1851. Kossuth had
already seen and passed through a
crowd OF 100000 people In his tri-
umphal ride up the great thorough
fare. The eliminating point, how
ever, occurred when the great Hun
garian patriot reached the corner OF
Broadway and Ann Street. The sight
that burst upon him staggered him
for the moment. In the open square
directly before him was massed to-
gether quarter Of million of peo-
pie, and when this vast concourse
broke into united cheer, Kos nth
was fairly bewildered. No man saw
this great event so we'll ard ad, an
tageously as did Farke Gcdwin. the
veteran New York editor, and Kos
suth's closest friend in America. Mr..
Goodwin was with Kossuth, aud for
the first time he will now tell the
story of the marvellous event in the
February Ladies Home Journal, of
Philadelphia, Pa.

Nearly all the cities are under Re-

business men will be glad to learn
that the principle of reciprocity will
enter largely into the tariff now be-
ing formulated by the House Repub-
licans. The trade of this country
with nations to the South was in
creased by many millions a year
through the reciprocity addendum to
the Mckinley law. Even Democratic
newspapers, which at first made light
OF this feature, were forced subse-
quently to admit that it had done
much to develope trade with the ma
tions to the south. It's advantages
have been made very evident.

Where Doctors Disagree.

There has been a great deal of dis
agreement from time to time about
the therapeutic value of Sarsa-
parilla. In the main, authorities
deny any particular medical value to
the plant. @It's just an old wife's
remedy" they say. And in the main
they are right. There are about a
dozen varieties Of sarsaparilla, scat
tered through various countries, and
Of this dozen only one has any real
curative power. So a man whose
experience might be confined to the
eleven other varieties might honestly
say there was little value In them.
The one valuable sarsaparilla is found
in Honduras, @. A. Monardes, a
physician of Seville, records the in
PRODUCTION of sarsaparilla into Spain
as q result Of the Spanish discoveries
of the new world between 1886 and
1915. But the root did not accom-
plish much. But he adds, "a better
sort soon after came from Honduras. :"
1t is this better sort" that Is used
exclusively in Ayers Sarsaparllla.
And 1t is the use of this "better sort"
that has given Ayers Sarsaparilla
prominence over all other varieties
