There is always an opportunity in a
quadrille for sly word now and then
between partners.

clipped from newspaper.
IT was of young soldier carried
bleeding and dying from San Juan hill,
murmuring:
"Queenie, Queenie, oh, my long-lost
loved one, shall never see you more?"
WAS that you?" she asked.
YES" he answered.
Then he took her aand. 1t trembled,
and her azure eyes grew dim.
Balance ALL"
1t was several minutes before either
could speak.
The sweet-tuned violin, accompanied
by the piano. poured forth such soul
stirring music as can be found only
in that precious old air. Haste to the
Wedding"
He was about to speak when the
musician calling off" shouted:
Gents to places-all promenade"
1t gave him an opportunity to re-
cover himself. and when next they
glided across the room he whispered:
Say, Queenie. will you keep that old
promise you made long ago?"
She looked up at him, smiling
through her tears.
Ten years of misery and suffering
had passed since he held that hand.
Oh, 1t was reward for all that suffer-
ing!
"Queenie. have It yet" he whis-
pered, taking from his vest pocket the
betrothal ring which he had carried
all these ears.
1T has never left me, for I always
had hoped that time might come

Seated by the glowing embers in the
gloomy old firelit hall, watching the
fame retreat, advance, fare up in
splendor, and then die into a dull
glow, was Jack Long. Thirty-five
years had elapsed since Jack first saw
the hight OF day, and his life had been
as full of JOY and misery, Of light and
shadows, as the ordinary life of man
kind.
Typical Of the ever-burning glow
was love within has heart which ten
years had not smothered.
Like the fire fame leaping high and
sinking low. was the hope in his
breast.
AS Jack sat there alone, gazing into
the fire, thoughts of bygone days came
over him, trooping at his memory's
call.
Mingled with those memories was a
fair and radiant maiden, with hair OF
sunshine and eyes, of azure. This i'm.
age conjured up so vivid and lifelike
was his loving. laughing sweetheart.
QueenIe Graham, as she looked on that
Thanksgiving night so long ago.
1t would be ten years on the NOR
row since he had last gazed upon the
dimpled, smiling, roguish face which
he loved SO well.
They were then betrothed. and she
wore the betrothal ring which he had
placed upon her finger only a few
weeks before. .
How VIVID that picture came before
his eyes. Ten years seemed to have
rolleu backward, and he was a youth

The entire Vermont delegation in Con-
gress has recommended the appointment

mont. Mr.. Fish was born in Newfane, in
1868, and was educated at Leland and
Gray seminary at Townshend, and Yer
mont Academy at Saxtons River, gradual

the graded school in South Londonderry,
where he began the study of law with

as a student, until September, 1887 when
Mr.. Tyler was appointed judge of the SUI
preme court
He completed his legal studies with Judge
Lavant NJ. Read of Bellows Falls, and was
admitted TO the bar in October, 1889. In

fee in Vergennes. In December, 1891,
he was appointed state attorney for Addi-
son county, succeeding w. Il. Bliss re-

Eight Big ships.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Globe is authority for the state
ment that the new naval program to be
recommended by the house committee on
naval affairs is as follows: Two large bat
tleships of 1880 tons each and of the
highest practicable speed and costing about
$4,000, 900 each; three big armored cruis-
ers of 1900 tons each, of the highest
practicable speed, costing about S6,000,-
600 each; three large protected cruisers of
5000 tons each, high speed, and to cost
about 81, 100000 each. These recommen-
dations will require total expenditure of
from S50,000,000 to $50, 900, 900, none of
which will have to be appropriated at this
session of Congress because it will take
nearly a year to draw up plans for the
ships, and not till then will appropriations
be needed for their construction.

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
WILMINGTON.
Rev. ElIs,vorth CraIp Rood.

Rev Ellsworth Craig Rood.
The community was saddened last Mon
day when the news came that Rev. T.. G.
Rood had passed away. He went from
this place few weeks ago to the home of
his parents in Maiden, Mass, in the hope
that change, with the aid of the best med
ical skill, might save his life, but he grad
ually failed and death came as a relief to
him in his terrible sufferings.
Mr.. Rood was born at Port Hilford, Nova
Scotia, Dec. 20, 1869. He studied for the
ministry at Newton Theological seminary,
preaching at Shirley, Mass, meanwhile.
He was ordained at Shirley June II, 1897,
and began his labors with the Baptist
church in this place the following week
He was married at East Boston March 81,
1897, to Miss Sadie f. kuse of Pennsyl-
vania, who survives him. His fatal all
ment was valvular disease of the heart.
During Mr.. Foods residence in Whining
ton he won the universal esteem of all.
He was gentleman at all times and under
all circumstances. He was a Jealous pas
tor and labored increasingly to build up his
society. Now that he has gone from our
community, he leaves behind him that
which is of more value than any earthly
possession, which is better than aught else,
good name. The sympathy of the com
munity goes out to the young wife. The
funeral services were held at Maiden
Thursday, March 10, Rev. II. O. Hiscox
of that place officiating, assisted by Rev.
James E. Norcross of Amesbury and Rev.

More OF Booker WAshington's Common
sense.


Every year there is held at Tuskegee,
Ala, the seat of Booker T. Washington's
industrial school for negroes, Farmers
Congress The black men and their
wives drive in from all the country around
to have a talk-over about what they have
been doing during the year. Mr.. Washing
ton is always there to help and encourage.
His remarks al one Of these Congresses
recently held, will pleasantly recall TO those
who heard Mr. Washington in Brattleboro
the past winter his common-sense way of
treating his subject:
What are you going to take home with
you in the way Of inspiration? We are a
great people for getting happy. We like
TO encourage each other by songs and
groans and different kinds of expression;
but the better way is to take the inspiIa-
ton home with us, and put it into prac-
tice.
you are getting homes for yourselves,
but it is not enough to get home; ii is
! important to keep and improve IT, and have
| ii in good repair. We are a great people
| for believing in the command, Take no
| thought for the morrow No people APP
]
does not mean that we must not lay by
anything. We are terribly afraid of that
! part of the Bible which says something
| about its being impossible for a rich man
! to get into heaven. But ! never saw a col
ored man in danger of going to hell on &C.
count of his riches. That verse simply
means that we must not worship money
and wealth. 1t does not mean that we are
not to put money into the bank"
The report from which this extract is
taken confines:
Then he gave them good advice about
increasing the school term, keeping school
houses in good order, staying away from
courts, planting a variety of crops and
other things. Speeches and reports from
many farmers followed, showing decided
improvement in their condition over five
years ago. Cotton has sold better this
year, and many are out of debt. There is
less mortgaging of crops and lands and a
greater proportion of those who have
bought land.
"There was a good deal of criticism of
certain idle colored women who hang
about the court houses in some of the
towns, and one of the brethren was a little
hard on them He thought there was real
wrongness in them, and that every bad
woman ought to tote her own burden, and
not bring dsrespect on the colored people
by her wrongness.' He thought there were
bad children, too, and accounted for it by
saying that de debble kin tell chill to
do wrong, as wells he kin man..
