Give the Children a Drink

called Grain-O. 1t is a delicious
appetizing, nourishing food drink to
take the place of coffee. Sold by all
grocers and liked by all who have
used it because when properly pre-
pared it tastes like the finest coffee
but is free from all it's injurious rop-
critics. Grain-O aids digest and
strengthens the nerves. It is not a
stimulant bu' health builder, and
children, as we'll as adults, can drink
itsswith great benefit. Costs about as
much as coffee. 15 and Zoe. wifi

Mrs. Fl. c. Hannahs Entertains in an
ENJOYABLE Manner
The home of Mrs. F. G. Hannahs, on
Market street, was the scene of a most
delightful social gathering Wednesday
evening, the occasion being the regular
meeting of the Thimble club. The
ladies had an exceedingly jolly time
during the afternoon. All of them
brought along their sewing baskets and
the afternoon was spent in making
pretty presents for the holidays.
At o'clock the ladies were ushered
into the dining room, where unique
luncheon was served. The CUISINE and
the numerous courses were charmingly
served, but the novelty of the affair was
the fact that the menu was served on
paper dishes with tin cups for the after
dinner coffee. The ladies were each
presented with one of the cups, tied
with red, white and blue ribbon, as a
souvenir of the affair.
Those present were Mesdames T.
Holderness, B. Windsor, ThOs Hansen,
Johnson Jackson, j. Barr, Penny, j. B.
Davidson, Windesheim, Kellerman,
Rowland and White.

Meeting with Miss Adamson.

The Teachers History club, COM
prising the teachers of the city schools,
held an enjoyable meeting last evening
at the home of Miss Adamson on Ridge

was the final consideration along this
line.
The members discussed the subjects

profitable research and especially is
this so of early Greek life and costumes.

Last Saturday night, at about mid
night, S. f. Meekin, the barber. whose
rooms overlook the falls on the west
side of Main street, had his attention at
tracted by persons moving at the rear
of the Battell Block. There were three
of them. Meekin called the night watch
man, Clay Dickinson, who promptly
responded. Dickinson says he saw a
couple of men in the park, one of whom
whlstled a signal. The night Waterman
proceeded to the rear Of the block and
tried the basement door of the Calhoun
& Stewart store, which did not yield.
He next tried the Cushman door, which
opened, but careful search failed to
discover anyone therein. He proceeded
to the street front, and while there
MeekIn, who kept watch, reports that a
man slipped out of the Calhoun &
Stewart door and made of down the
track. Some tramps were known to be
lodging in a barn near the outskirts of
the village; but when the officers went
to investigate the birds had flown.

ANOTHER LANDMARK GONE

The Old Court House Dome Had Passed
Its Century Mark.
The Vandals have recently visited Mid
dlebury, and in the fullest sense Of their
mlssion-the destruction of the mOnu-
ments of art and literature-have laid
low that ancient pile of architecture, the
dome and cupola of the old court house
This building was erected in l796, and
with much vigor and show--especially
"show''-has entered its second century
of life. 1t was first built on the park south
of the Addison House, in 1914 was
moved to court street and in 1892 to its
present location. Less than a dozen of
contemporaries to its swad-
ling clothes-have come down TO us from
the last century.
This little octagonal structure, over
shadowing the rooms below, has been a
silent witness to many of the mOmentOus
and exciting affairs of men. Here sena-
tors, governors, Judges and orators have
given expression to words of wisdom
and law. 1t was here that the fugitive
slave went free by the decision of Judge
Harrington requiring title deed from a
/ y
college was born in this little place, the
general assembly of Vermont holding
the session here in 1900 which gave the
college a charter. The lives and liberties
of men and the title to many thousands
of dollars in money have been adiudIcated
by the law within its shadow. Its rod
of protection ought with indignation to
have sent its discharge of fire and thun-
der when eggs were thrown at speaker
In company with Fred Douglass! This
being the only public hall in town, all
the various church societies have at diff
ferent times held their meetings in its
room. 1t was the usual place for lectures,
4th of July orations and all other public
meetings.
The original purpose of the cupola
must not be forgotten. 1t was to shield
and protect the first bell ever brought
into town-the bell used to call the legis-
latOrs, the sessions of court, the church
attendants, the public meetings, the mid.
night celebrations, the fire alarm, and all
other occasions when the public were to
be notified. Well and faithfully has the
bells work been done for the last hun
bred years, and it is now fittingly cared
for In the arms of the only child of it:
revered and departed parent, where il
seems good for another century. But

person 10 town of its age will be seen nj
