1Deooin9 at OiIas

Wednesday noon at Villas Rev. Stat
ford performed the ceremony uniting
in marriage Mr.. A. p. Brown, Of this
city, to Miss Mabel Simmons, at the
residence Of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Simmons.
The contracting parties are too well
and fayorably known TO all the people
of Chanute to require an extended
notice of their personalities apropos
to this happy eliminating event, but
THE TIMES adds its very best wishes
to the multitude Of other congratula-
tions they are receiving from all sides.

The normal reunion seems replete
with Imaginable incidents, and some of
them are Just coming to light. The
fact that Chanute is no SLOUGH OF
place, and that person not any too
familiar with the honeycombed ave-
nues and labyrinthian jungles of the
city may hopelessly lose himself, es-
pecially after nightfall, was 1llustrat-
ed Friday night, when, after escorting
young lady to her stopping-place,
youth from one of the rural sections
of the county found himself cropping
in darkness like unto that which falls
upon the valley of the Nile. The cars
had stopped running earlier than usual
that evening to give the tired motor
men a needed rest; the inuumerable
night bugs and dragons OF the air
swarmed in impenetrable numbers
around the electric lights, shutting
off their brilliant rays completely;
the great city that had an hour before
teemed and swayed with busy human
ity and the traffic of a continent, now
lay in peaceful quietude, broken only
by the indistinct clink-clank OF the
we'll oiled presses OF a morning paper
From her suburban home the young
man thought to retrace his steps and
find his way back to the schoolhouse,
but that was more of an undertaking
than he had reckoned for. Up one
street and down the other did he go,
his footballs echoing from the pave
ment like the distant tramp of Coxey's
army. 1t was now about p. M, and
the bew1ldered pedestrian calculated
that in at least three hours and half
relief would come with the blessed
morn to rescue him from his reluctant
nocturnal prowl. And he was not
mistaken.
Charles H. Marks, while acting IN
the capacity of nurse at the Second
Division HospItel of the Fifth Army
Corps at Santiago de Cuba, used few
bottles of Chamberlain Col1c, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy for diarr-
hoea and found it to work like charm.

the democrats did not make as good

meeting as did the pops. The trouble
was, Miss Editress, in many precincts

So Fitzismmons met his Waterloo
when he came up against the sturdy
Californian. Well Fitz made the best
fight he could He simply met bet

quite philosophically and says there
is no doubt but Jeffries is the best
man in the world. He will have his
day till some brniser learns a new
trick and puts him to sleep in his
turn. We don't believe very much in
prize fighting, but if they will do it,

CIVIC FEDERATION.
The Ladies of the Local Branch Hold
Their Annual Meeting and
Elect Officers.

The annual meeting of the Civic
Federation of Woman S clubs in Barre
was held in the Firemens parlorS
Wednesday afternoon with fairly
good attendance.
The most important business of the
meeting was the annual election OF
officers. Those elected for the ensu-
ing year were the following: presi-
dent, Mrs. Ida Martin: vice president,
Miss Edith Boyce: secretary. Mrs.
Estelle Norton: treasurer, Mrs. Carrie
Town; auditors, Mrs. e. H. Perry and
Mrs. Ethel Richardson.
Mrs. Martin made short speech
telling the members in a few appro-
pirate words how necessary it is IN
order to accomplish the best results
for each one to put forth the most
earnest endeavors and to attend all
meetings and take an active part in
the same.
The reports of the various commit
tees, the secretary and treasurer, were
read and adopted. They all gave evil
dence that the Federation is in excel
lent condition. The treasurer's re-
port showed 1920 on hand. The plan
of work committee reported the inn
provement of the past year on the
park, the high school green and the
flower brackets at the depots. They
still hope to improve the square near
the Presbyterian church.
The Emerald club was admitted to
membership in the Federation.
The above report was accidentally
omitted from the TELEGRAM last
night in making up the paper.

In the Philippines the parting bene-
diction is bestowed in the form of rub

The Russian form of parting saluta-
ton is brief, consisting of the single
word "praschai." said to sound like a
sneeZe.
The Otaheite islander will twist the
end of the departing guests robe and
then solemnly shake his own hands
three times.
The Turk will solemnly cross his
hands upon his breast and make a pro-
found obeisance when he bids you fare

The Sioux and Blackfeet will a part

they threw away such impedimenta az
knapsacks and muskets.
The drummer of the retreating regi-
ment dropped his instrument in his
haste, and it was picked up by Amer
lean soldiers. Straws were drawn for
the drum, and it fell to the lot of Levi
Smith, who beat it through many fights
and marches, until the United States of
America had thrown off their yoke.
Peace reigned for years, until the
British sought trouble again in 1912.
Volunteers were called out, and Israel
Smith, the sturdy son of Levi Smith,
enlisted as drummer in a Massachu-
sets command, and hurried to the de-
Tense of the national capital, beating
his fathers drum.
A new generation of men rolled
around before the drum entered service
again. This time it was the civil war
that called for fighting men, and among
those who responded was Israel Smith
H., grandson of the drummer of Bunk
er Hill.
AS leader of the Thirty-third Mass
dcnuSeItS IGSlIucue Uduu, IsIdel DILL III
drummed through four years of fight
ing in the Twentieth corps under Gen.
Hooker, and marched with Sherman to
the sea.
In the civil war a bullet pierced the
woodwork of the drum, but left Israel
Smith unframed. Constant beating in
three wars had worn the drumhead
through, but clever craftsmen patched
the instrument up as good as new, and
with the exception of these slight reno
vations the drum is the same drum
that left the instrument makers shop
In London a century and half ago.
Recently Israel Smith, now an old
man, presented the drum to G. A. r.
post 100, William II. II. Jennings, com
mander, of New Bedford, Mass, of
which post Mr.. Smith is a member.
When the post shall have become ex-
tinct the drum will return TO the heirs
of Israel Smith, who will present 1t
to the National museum at Washing
ton.
This is the story of what is, from
a historic standpoint, probably the
most valuable drum in America.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

with much vehemence:

In moment there was fresh rattle
of musketry and a renewed crash of
shells. Suddenly .Iabe appeared on the
top of the hill, moving like hurricane
and followed by cloud of dust. AS he

yelled:

dust with renewed vigor, you don't

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

The French government announces

Paris exposition, and all leading finan'
cial institutions throughout the world
have been asked to send representa-

A boat is feet beam, 4S feet long
