| The common man has reason to be
proud OF himself these days. In ordinary
times the common man-the laborer. tbe
farmer, the mechanic, the clerk. the. sbop-
keeper, the man, in brief, who does the
country's work and pays its. taxes, earns
his wages and supports his family-is
accustomed to look upon Sage, or Gould.
or. Rockefeller, or Qavemeyer, or some
other eminent anaconda as the typical
American.
But it is the common man. the home
building, routine, duty glowing, plain
citizen himself, who is the true Americana
Ii it had not been for him there would
hare been no war with Spain
The eminent anacondas and all their
breed, fat or lean, were more than willing
that the Cubans should be oppressed
starved and murdered by Spain, i,,gt az
long as it might please that Mrs nyaek
among nations to so on With The infamv.
The anacondas were, s,,1fiing that our navy
should serve Spain by intercepting arms
and supplies, sent TO the gallant Gomez
and MS men. They were willing that the
An'eican Republic should accept money
payment for the lives of it's sailors who
were assassinated when the Maine was
sunk.
All the anacondas cared for was that
L
nothing should disturb them while they
continued to gorge dollars.
But the common man said No! He has
> heart In his breast and head that
doesn't qnibble with questions of right
and wrong. He knows that liberty is
right, that tyranny is wrong, that genero-
sity is better than selfishmess, and that
crime should be punished. He believes in
dod, 6nd though he has little money and
will do anything honest to get more, he
doesn't hold money above his country and
humanity and justice. -.
To the common man has put his foot
down, issued his orders, and behold
Spain's death knell in the New World has
struck.
When the corfmon man rouses himsef
everybody else IN this Republic hastens to
obey.
Of how very little Importance the
anacondas are when the common man
takes the-fioor in tbesUnited States,
The humblest jackie on any of the ma
tons war ships is now bigger man in
the popular estimation, and in fact, than
is Russell Sage or .JofnsD. Rockefeller,
Henry q. Hayemeyer, or any other emf
nent anaconda. Men who signify money
and nothing else shrink to pigmy size
when the Manhood of the Republic walks
to She pilot house and lays its mighty
hand npon the wheel Of the Ship OF State.

The Choral Union Mission.

That the st. Johnsbury Choral Union
has a mssion-and most admirable
one-nobody who is at all unsteady in
clined can doubt. 1t is young organi-
cation, yet it is responsible tor two May
festivals whose general excellence, from
musical point of view, cannot be ques-
toned. 1t is preparing for it's third oc-
casion of this kind. For some reason or
other probably the fact that so many
other things in the social and entertain
ment line claim attention-the member
ship is not as large this season, and the
rehearsals lack the presence OF number
of singers who could contribute materi-
ally to the interest and success OF the
weekly gatherings. The chorus isl good
one, however, and is doing excellent
work under Conductor Blaisdell's direc
ton; and the committee is making all
possible effort in behalf OF the coming fes.
tival. The oratorio to be given is
"Elijah," Astounding in magnificent music
and affording soloist and chorus ample
opportunity Tor the best work. Aside
from this there will be much on the week s
programme tnat will meet the popular
taste.
The maintenance Of a vigorous organ'-
cation OF this sort means much Tor any
town or section of the state. st. Johns
bury has chance this season to endorse
the Choral Union and its work as to
make it permanent feature OF the town
We hope this will be done.

The Military Ball.

The annual concert and ball given by
The St. Johnsbury Guard last Friday
evening, at the Armory, was very largely
attended-more so, possibly, than has
been the case for many year. The gal
leries were so crowded that the fifteen
cents. admission section of the audience
overran the limit of space fixed for it and
had to be accommodated with floor
seats. This large company, combined
with a hall prettily decorated with
flags and bunting, and brilliantly
illuminated by electricity, and more or
less gayetyin costume, made lively and
interesting picture.
THE CONCERT.
Between eight and nine o'clock the
Orchestral Club, which furnished music
for the dancers, gave concert including
the following numbers:
March, Light Step" wigand
overture. Chimes of Normandy" Planquette
Concert Watt, Mountain Rose" Boumau

ization here, is doing excellent work, and
the town has reason to be very much
satisfied over its possession of this array
OF instrumental talent. The Orchestral
Club, as now constituted, can be de-
pended on Tor 6rst-class service on any
occasion where good music is desired,
and will doubtless be kept busy. The
personnel Of the organization is: J. D.
Partridge, LIST violin and leader; H. L.
Shaw. I'd violin; ]. c. Mooney, viola !;
T.. H. Moore, clarinet; Geo. Felch, flute /;
I. W. Batchelder cornet; Geo. II. Frost,
trombone; c. S. Hastings, bass; H. F.
Gaskill, drums and traps.
THE EXHIBITION DRILL.
During the hour devoted to the concert
the audience was treated to an enter
tanning exhibition drill by Capt. Ellis and
his men, and when the latter had con-
cluded the maneuvers incident to guard
mount" and were marching back to
quarters they were heartily appauded.
The Guard made fine appearance and
gave very creditable demonstration OF
their familiarity with the tactics. Major
Bonett Of the First Regiment and Capt.
Leonard OF Gen. Estey's staff were pres
ent and witnessed the drill.
THE BALL.
This followed the concert and drill, and
was participated in by large number
ofdancers, who moved about through
the several figures on the programme,

furnishing the necessary inspiration v

It Is important that the nerves are care
fully guarded. Mothers who have young
daughters Of school age should watch their
health more carefully than their studies.
The proper development Of their bodies
Is OF first importance.
After the confinement of the school
room, plenty OF outdoor exercise should
be taken. 1t Is better that children never
learn their a, b, c's, than that by over
study they lose their health.
All this is self-evident. Everyone ad-
nits it-everyone knows 1t, bot everyone
does not know how to tuild the health Up
when once broken down, even the best
physicians failing at times.
The following method of Mrs. Stephen
Barnes, whose post office address is Bur-
ney, Ind, if rightly applied, may save
your daughter.
When her daughter Lucy was at that
critical girlhood age Of twelve years she
grew weak and nervous.
Previously she had been a bright.
healthy young girl" says Mrs. Barnes,
"She was diligent and progressive in her
studies.
ut became necessary, however, for her
to leave school.
"She was overtaxed mentally and
physically.
"Her nerves were at such tension
that the least noise irritated her.
"She had continual twitching in the
arms and lower Limbs and symptoms Of
St. Vjtus' dance.
"Her blood was out Of order she was
thin and pale, almost lifeless. In three
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1898-03-16

months she lost twenty three pounds.
1--WE did everything possible for her,
and she had the best OF medical treatment.
"Several skilled physicians attended
her, bot no benefit was apparent.
"a family friend visiting Us, told how
her daughter had teen similarly affected,
but cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"Shs urged as to try the pills, and we
finally consented.
1--WE have always rejoiced that we did.
"The pills helped Lucy at once, and
after taking eight toxes she was entirely
cured.
"She is now in perfect health, strong,
weighs ten pounds more than ever before,
and her cheeks are foil Of eolcr.
1.-TWO years Of schooling were missed
on account Of i'll health, bot now she can
crafty her ambition 10 study and become
an educated woman"
The reason that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People were helrfu1 in the above
case, is that they are composed of vegcta-
Bile remedies which act cirectly on the
impure blood, the foundation Of disease.
As the blood rushes through all parts
Of the body, the ccnveyer Of coed or bad
health, it is necessary that it should be
pure, rich and red.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build Up the
blood by supplying its Life giving elements
which nourishes the various organs, slim
dating them 10 activity in the perform
ance Of their functions and thus drives
disease from the system.
The pills are In universal demand and
sold by all druggists.
