Versailles, France, few weeks ago he
saw another tourist with small Ameri-

greeted him as lellowcountryman and
asked him what state he was from. The
man said he was from Vermont. The
doctor told him he was from Vermont,
too, and wanted to know what town in
Vermont he hailed from. In reply the
man said he was from Lyndonvlle, and
it soon transpired that the man with the
flag was E. M. Campbell, who was very
glad to see man from his own county
