rIr. rIoody With His Boys and Girls at
Mortified

Much Of Mr.. Moody's influence with
the students was undoubtedly due to hi:
interest in their amusements, and his
love of honest fun. He never outgrew
tie boy in his own nature.
This serious.minded, great-hearted
evangelist believe thoroughly in the
wholesome moral influence of physical
exercise, and did everything in his power
to encourage open-air amusements. He
not only entered joyously into the sports
on both sides of the river, but took
special delight in giving a holiday OF
his own now and then. In the fall this
was usually known as Mountain day,
and for many a girl the happiest men,
cries of seminary life cluster around
those glorious autumn days on Stro.
bridge Mountain, just back of the semin-
airy, with Mr.. Moody as the centre Of
the days delight.
He also dearly loved harmless joke.
Once, in the early days at Mount Her
mon while he was acting as anchor"
for one side in tug of war;" he plant
ed himself in front of large tree, round
the trunk of which, without being OBJ
served, he slyly got turn or two of the
rope. Then he sat there and shook with
laughter while the other side, headed by
one of the teachers. tugged away in vain.
At the close of the feld-day sports at
the seminary last spring, he drove up
with his market wagon and invited
number of the girls to ride with him.
The wagon was quickly filled, and the
party drove off in great glee. In little
while, however, Mr. Moody turned off
from the main road, toward Round Top,
slyly remarking, "You girls must pay
for this ride; there's a job of work to be
done" Then it transpired that some
burdocks had appeared in the fresh
grass on that knoll which was so dear
to him, and he had taken this amusing
way to be rid of them. He provided the
girls with the necessary tools and set
them to work, hugely enjoying their
efforts at wedding. They accomplished
the task so well that he told them he
should speak good word for them to
all the young farmers of the neighbour
hood. Now that his knoll has become
his burial.pace, every girl in that COM
pany will prize her share in that hours
fun.
One of the most characteristic photo
graphs of Mr.. Moody ever taken was
caught one day in 1898, when he had
given clambake to the whole school,
and was sharing a game of duck on the
rock" with his boys. At another time
one of the boys challenged him to run
race. Mr.. Moody accepted at once, but
stipulated that the boy should carry
handicap equal to the difference between
his own weight and Mr.. Moody's. AS
this would have been something like one
hundred and fifty pounds, the race was
never run.
In the Christmas vacation he would
often drop in at Weston Hall and play
crokinole and halma with those of the
girls who, having no homes to 60 to,
were spending their holidays as best they
could. These quiet games frightened
the days for the lonely girls, and they
rested the busy man after his hard days
work. He played them as he did every
thing else, with spirit and enthusiasm,
and was seldom beaten.-[ James Nc
Conaughy in the Youths Companion.

JUDGE WENDELL P. STAFFORD.
sTContinued from first page.1

which he has issued without noting there
in the skill of master in discriminating
analysis, terse statement, and literary
finish.
Mr.. Stafford is equally at home on the
platform, whether among the villages of
his native state or in the cities of Brook
lyn and Boston. The apparent ease of
the speaker DISCUSSES the skill and va
riety of work wrought into the finished
product. His audience is under the spell
of quiet and prepossessing presence,
with an unusual combination of modesty
and force, of fluency and accuracy, of
poise and passion, OF delicate humor and
very practical common sense. His versa
tility of expression is as varied as the
many sorts of themes discussed; whether
he speaks on current topics of the day, or
on the history, literature and reform,
there is always left on the hearers mind
a flavor of ripe thought and a stimulus
to wholesome and serious living. He
Justly deserves the universal esteem in
which he is held as a man and a citizen.
The mark of sincerity on his countenance
reveals the quality of the man that he is
found to be. Conscientious by nature,
be has always been intolerant of shams
and Alterations. unwilling to serve
client or a cause to which he could not
give an honest-hearted support. He is
by Inheritance and instinct liberal in pol
itical sentiment, yet stoutly loyal to the
great principles OF the party OF Lincoln
and Mckinley. His church is the Epis-
copallan, his creed, religious and political,
is the New Testament. His personal
bearing is strikingly simple, fresh and
open; he has quiet dignity that wins
instant respect, and acourtesy THAI never
knows distinction OF persons except for
qualities of character.
Among the finest representatives OF the
best type of the young Green Mountain
boy of today is Wendell P. Stafford, of
St. Johnsbury.
Mr.. Stafford long ago took rank
among the leading lawyers of the state,
and he is recognized by bar and people
as thoroughly read, scholarly and able
lawyer, man OF remarkable intellectual
power, of the highest standing in every
respect He will add strength to the
court and will fulfill the duties of the
| place with credit and acceptabll1ty.-
Burlington News.
Mr.. Stafford is one Of the acknowledged
leaders of the bar in this state. 1t is I'M
derstood that the judges of the supreme
bench looked upon Mr.. Stafford with
favor, and his appointment will doubt
less be received with general satisfaction
throughout the state. Mr.. Stafford is
only 80 years old, but his ability is un-
questioned. He is peculiarly fitted to his
new judicial duties by his experience for
the past three years as reporter of the
supreme courts decisions.-[St. Adams

Chemistry in the Twentieth Century.

Great as the strides have been which
chemistry has made within the last half
century, there still remains many
weary path to be pursued. Although
physicists have done much to clarity the
chemists conception of matter and force,
they have not told him all.
Those seventy elements which are
daily used in the laboratory, surely they
are but the variant forms of single
matter. We have but one force; and
why should there be seventy matters?
That wonderful periodical law, with its
pulling numbers, seems to contain with
in it the means of discovering the prime
val matter for which chemists have long
been seeking. The old alchemist with
his theory of the transmutation of ele-
ments again lives, but he is now chemi-
cal physicist, who endeavors not to con-
vert base metal into gold, but to prove
the existence of one form of matter.
The mysteries of chemical energy are
also still to be untathomed. The forces
which we have learned to observe and to
measure are phenomena of a secondary
nature. The chemical energy whose
transformations give rise to these forces
is still a puzzle to chemists. Instru-
ments of measurement can reveal only
the sum total OF this energy, but not the
nature of the intramolecular changes
which occur. For this reason we have
no clear conception or numerical express
sion for the relation of chemical energy
to other forces in other words, we have
no chemical equivalent of work. We
know that chemical energy is converted
not only into heat, but also into light
and electricity. That a chemical work
can be directly transformed into motion
seems also probable.
1t cannot be Tor moment doubted
that the problem of chemical energy and
matter will eventually be solved. When
adequate laws shall have been formu-
lated by the twentieth century investi-
gator, we may possibly speak OF a
mechanical" or "kinetic" chemistry,
which will be added to the list of exact
Sciences Scientific American.

American citizens to seize the present
opportunity to leave Chefoo on mer-
chant steamers. st. Johnsbury people
are especially interested in news from
this quarter as Miss Calista Downing,
formerly of this town, has long been
located there. For many years she was
missionary in the Presbyterian board
of missions and for the past few years
her home has been open for resting
place for the missionaries of the various
boards. t5.,.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,N. c.
1t may be question whether the edi-
tor of newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pro-
prietary medicines which food the mar
ket, yet as preventive of suffering we
feel it duty to say good word for
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diarr
hoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception OF an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale by all
druggists.
