brief sickness of pneumonia Monday. Prof

pointed tc that position by DR.. Dimmock.
Prof. Tyler was the son of the late Major
General William c. Tyler, nephew OF Gen,
John 5. Tyler and grandson of the late
Hon. Royal Tyler, formerly chief justice of
Vermont. The late Judge Royal Tyler
OF Brattleboro was his uncle, and Prof

liant social and athletic record, being presi-
dent of the Atheneum and o. X. societies

Advocate. He was considered one of the
most accomplished teachers in New Eng

time prestige. Prof. Tyler leaves a widow

DOLLS OF ALL NATIONS.
They VIII Be Exhibited In BrattlebOro
Nov. 10 and 40 for the BENEFIT OF the
Free Kindergarten


The Woman's club of Brattleboro will
exhibit for the benefit OF their free kinder
garten the international doll collection.
which has become famous for its unique
character and its mission, that of aiding
children's charities. II is collection OF
dolls from all over the world from Japan
to the Aleutian Islands These dolls all
have history and must be seen TO be APP
preciated.
The Massachusetts doll so dear to all of
her native state, donated by Jordan,
Marsh Il Co. OF Boston, and named by
the people of the state, presdes over the
200 dolls with a deal of dignity, while
Topsy with her Southern brothers and
sisters is al home with those from the far
North, East and West The Indian dolls
as well as those from far away lands are
well worth seeing, many of them being old
and rare and now impossible TO obtain
One doll over 200 years old has Just Joined
the goodly company and is as eager as the
younger and gayer ones TO take her first
journey TO Vermont. Indeed, she has
lain idle for so many years, she is more
than pleased that she can aid in the mis-
sion Of this collection.
The owners first object in obtaining the
collection was that her little grandchld
and children of coming generations might
know something of the dolls of the past.
She hoped to obtain about 80. When num-
bering less than that she loaned it to
aid the New England Home for crippled
children and it received such a royal well
come and the newspapers gave it such
kindly notices that she was encouraged to
add to it and decided to devote il, for a
while at least, to children's charities. Its
success has been phenomenal and it is
hoped that everybody, men and women
as well as children, in Brattleboro will give
it as cordial a welcome Nov. 10 and 20 as
it has received elsewhere, and by so doing
help worthy cause.

The first presentations of "Lohengrin"
were given this week, and the Philadelphia
papers praise warmly the work of Mr.. and
Mrs. Schuster. The Ledger says: miss
LIGHTER made most charming Elsa. Her
singing was admirable and full of tender
ness and feeling" The title role in "Lo-
hengrin' is taken by Joseph Sheehan,
who sang in Brattleboro with local talent
in Priscilla five years ago, and who has
since filled engagements with the Boston
ians and other leading companies. The
Ledger critic says of his work: "Mr Shee-
han did better than his warmest admirers
could have anticipated as Lohengrin. He
was spirited both in voice and action, and
his phrasing, evidently the result of care
full study, was most artistic"

Webster avenue. Unless DR.. Webster is

supposed to compose his anatomy he will
surely frown upon the scheme. Why, the
bare suggestion smacks of Partially, TO
avoid which and to save heart burnings it
would be better TO change the name 10

to change the name of Bridge street, from

recognition of the efforts of our former
board of bailitfs to strangle the brewery.
Two years hence, when we elect our
first mayor under a city charter, l hope
some one will be magnanimOusly moved
TO suggest the changing of Organ street to
The Peter S. Chase thoroughfare.
There is ample room for a monument on

The October number of the Holstein-
Friesian Register, issued last Saturday,
devoted a column and a half to descrip-
tion of the exhibition of Holstein cattle at
the Valley Fair Concerning the fair
itself and the exhibit of Brattleboro cattle
the Register said;
"This exhibition in its dozen years of
existence has easily become the leading
fair OF New,England, from a stockbreeder's
standpoint. In quality of stock exhibited
and in numbers in poultry, sheep, swine,
horses, beef cattle and dairy classes of
live stock no exhibition in New England
made so complete and high class show as
the Valley Fair. The attendance of visi-
tors from all sections of New England was
evidence of the appreciation of lovers of
fine stock and of the broadening character
of this show. The exhibit of Holstein-
Friesians was a model. The presence of
the splendid herd from the BrattleborO
Retreat was an object lesson demOnstrat-
ing exactly what can be done with this
breed by any farmer right here on the hills
of Vermont. This herd has been very
skillfully dehorned and its animals have
every appearance of being naturally polled
Holstein- Friesans. G. w. Pierce, to whom
great credit is due for the founding and
upbuilding of this herd, reports that the de-
horning has been followed with many
beneficial results, and that the cattle herd
together for mutual protection from flies,
carry more flesh, lie more quietly and
yield better than before the operation was
performed. The Retreat herd. as 1t is
called, makes no entries for competition,
however, with appreciated public spirit"

Who smatter negro lore;

Encouraged by the charity
Of persons they offend
A stoical philosophy,

To inquisitive intruders
Who seek an interview,
For Uncle Eben, widely known
By sayings trite and terse,

Heard Her Own Funeral Service.

Clara Purking, handsome young lady
of Denbigh, Va, awoke from trance on
q recent afternoon while her funeral service
was in progress.
Miss Purking was taken i'll three weeks
previously. Her doctor thought she had
typhoid fever.
He could give her no relief, and finally
she TO all appearances died
While the funeral quartet was singing
the girl arose in her coffin, crying out:
Am dreamingY I'm not dead You
shall not bury mel'
Immediately there was an uproar. Wom-
en- tainted, others shrieked and men and
women rushed out of the house Several
children were trampled upon and hurt.
When the physician who had signed the
death certificate arrived, Miss Purking had
been removed from the coffin to a lounge.
She was unconscious, but was breathing
regularly, like one enjoying a peaceful
sleep
One of the singers who tainted says that
while she was singing she saw the corpse
move slowly. A rose which had been placed
in the hand was dropped, the arm rose
above the sides Of the coffin, reckoning,
and she remembers nothing more.-Ex-

The Negative Reward of Virtue In the

"'What has become Of my 10 cents?
"There she sat staring at her hand,
which was no longer occupied by the
piece of silver. We all looked for it,
but it had disappeared, and she found a
nickel with which she paid her fare. At
that moment I slipped my hand into
my overcoat pocket and found there the
10 cent piece.
"How could you identify it?" asked
one of the boys.
II never carry money in an outside
moment before. No, knew how it hap

her hand, and it had dropped from it
to my pocket, as explained to her"
"Was she surprised? What did she

"Boys, can't tell you all she said.

PRAYERS THE LITTLE CHILDREN SAY.

The prayers the little children say
They are not fine of speech,
But they hold deeper mystery
Than any tome could teach,
And they reach farther up TO heaven
Than wiser prayers can reach.
The angels laugh TO hear each day
The prayers the little children say.
Tho prayers the little children say
No toiling angel brings.
They pass right through the shining ray
That searches selfish things.
(They are so little that they slip
Between the guarding wings.)
And God says, "Hush and give them wayi"
The prayers the little children say.

All, IL we knew the samel
For ours, so wise and gaunt and gray,

And by the time they come to God
They have forgot his name.

A Press Built by Franklin.

Il once worked printing press that
was built and operated for long while
by Ben Franklin, said Colonel Charles
Gonter. 1.-THE machine was quite a
primitive affair, but it answered the
purpose. Twas then boy in Lancaster,
Pa, and was learning the printers
trade in the Office Of the Lancaster
Union. John w. Forney, who made
such success of the Philadelphia Press,
was prentice with me, and we took
turns working the old Franklin press.
1t was made entirely of wood except for
a marble slab that answered the pur-
pose Of bed. On this slab the forms
of type were placed, and they would
have to be linked with a long, clumsy
roller before each impression.
Zone day Forney would WELD the
roller, and the next day it fell my turn
to smear on the ink. We could print
about 90 or 20 sheets an hour. The work
was laborious, but we performed it
cheerfully because of the knowledge
that Ben Franklin had done the very
same work on the press many day be-
fore we were born. James Buchanan
used to come in occasionally and en-
courage us at our task and predict a
brilliant career for both of us if we
stuck to the trade we were then learn
ing.
This was way back in lS4l, and
I'm young man yet. Events that are
crowded into the years since then con-
tain the history of the building Of one
of the most powerful nations the world
has every known, and the professions of
men that have passed in review since
then call for the pen of another Plutarch
to portray, and that cramped, rickety
little Franklin press that John W. For
ney and l used to work played a big
part in the making of the nation and
the making of the professions of men.

No doubt most true Christians have
much sweet peace and many bright and
happy days in this world, but their
peace is like that of the mariner who
has battled with the tempests of the
night, but when the morning comes the
sky is bright and the sea unruffled, and
with light and happy heart he voyages
onward to the desired haven, or like
the soldier who has made the march
and fought the battle and gained the
victory, and, though enjoying the SOL
dier's rest and with it the sweets of tri-
umph, knows not how soon the bugle
may sound and he again be called to
struggle with the foe. -United Presby-

The Outdoor Church.

The carven pillars of the trees,
The lowered mosaic of the grass,
The green transparent traceries
OF leaf on leaf that lightly lies
And lightly move when breezes pass
The anthem Of the waterfall,
My chorister the blackbird's lay,
And mingling with, suffusing all,
Borne by the wind and still let fall,
The incense of the new mown hay
This is my church, my altar there.
Here earth, the kindly mother, kneels,
Her mighty hands outspread in prayer,
While DER her brow the sunny air,
A south wind full Of blessing, steals.
She wraps me in her mantle fold;
kneei and pray beside her there
Az children do whom mothers hold,
And living air and sunlight gold
And wood and meadow pray with me.
