At the Court House.

The session of the Grand Jury was
short and of little Importance. Six true
bills were reported and four were re-
ported as not found; of the six true bills
two are liquor cases not yet made pub
lie, one is against Walter E. Jewett for
keeping a bucket shop, one against
Robert Cobb for PERMITTING the keeping
of bucket shop in building belonging
to him. Charley and Albert Shadroi,
two Armenian peddlers of this town,
were indicted for plying their trade
without license. For this henious
offence they were arrested Saturday
night to late too secure bail and kept in
Jail over Sunday. The petit jury re-
turned MONDAY on the case OF Clyde
M. Humphrey VS.. DR.. Ward R. Noyes.
This is suit for $4,000. damages
because of alleged malpractice. The
plaintiff is young son of Charles Hum
phrey OF Burke, who fractured his leg
below the knee. DR.. Ward was called
to set the break. The operation was
not successful and the claim of the
plaintiff is that only one of the broken
bones were set. The defense is that the
fracture was properly reduced, but that
the bandages and spIints were removed
by the plaintiff and the bones became
displaced again. A large number of wit
nesses are called and the case is likely to
continue several days.

A Successful Edition.

The last number of the st. Johnsbury
Republican, edited entirely by ladies for
the benefit of Brightlook Hospital, was
highly creditable and interesting num-
Der, as everybody believed it would be.
The II pages and supplement contain
ed a generous amount of advertising,
and the reading matter included the
usual news features and many valuable
contributed articles The first page had
fine picture of the hospital and quite a
sketch gifts useful work. Seldom have
the st. Johnsbury papers contained a
more valuable and appreciative article in
the reminiscent line than the one on
Musical Memories" by Mrs. Lucy M.
Brooks. Judge Stafford contributed a
line poem, the "Grumblers' Column" was
a unique feature, and the other articles
were of high order. The edition was
quickly sold out and the ladies who
worked so hard for the success of the
enterprise will turn over to the treasury
of Brightlook Hospital about $125.

Sunday school Rally.

A very interesting Sunday school rally
has just been held in Montgomery Centre
under the auspices of the American Sun
day School Union. The rally not only
included the union schools in the vicinity
which has been organized by the union
missionary, E. c. Kinney, but all the
Sunday schools in Montgomery were in
vited. The rally opened with a praise
service and an address of welcome from
Rev: J. E. Berry, whose church was verv
kindly opened for the use of the conven-
ton, after which we had reports from
schools. Rev. A. F. MacGregor of New

ChiIdren's Day.

The North church Sunday school OBJ
served Children's Day by some special
exercises in the morning. Members OIL
the intermediate and primary depart
ments marched in from the chapel at the
opening of the service, majority of the
children carrying pretty flowers, which
they had themselves gathered the day
before. Rev. Mr.. Chapman preached an
instructive sermon to the young people,
from the text, How beautiful upon the
mountains are the feet OF them that
preach the gospel of peace and bring glad
tidings OF good things" Three children's
hymns were sung. and the baptizing of
four little ones was an interesting feature
of the service. Through the kindness of
friends at Underclyffe and Pinehurst, the
platform was handsomely decorated with
palms and hydrangeas.
At the South church in the morning
the pastor spoke especially to the
children.
The sermon at the First Baptist church,
Sunday morning, was very practical and
excellent and appropriate to Childrens
Day. The Sunday school concert in the
evening was of most interesting char
acter, the children taking their parts ex-
ceptionally well, and the music, led by
the choir, was of high order and much
appreciated.
At Grace Methodist church the plat
form had erected upon it double gate,
with double arch above it, upon which
was the motto of the day, THE Gateway
of the Century" A most profuse array
OF ported plants and cut flowers were
arranged about the gates and the plat
form. In the morning the pastor took
the mottof for his subject, and represented
the church as the gateway of the century
in that it had within its power the deter
mining of the character Of the civilization
of the century. The rain interfered with
the carrying out of the program in full in
the afternoon. 1t had been arranged for
the Sunday school in body to visit the
cemetery and place flowers upon the
graves of deceased members of the church.
A delegation, however, with the pastor,
decorated the graves of % members who
have died since 1890. In the evening the
annual Childrens day Sunday school con-
cert was given to full house in which |
the children acquitted themselves with |
credit.

A Hen With a Litter of Kittens,

There is no telling when, where, OF
how the maternal instinct will assert it.
self. Among our Thornycroft cats is a
certain Mrs. Greyskin. She had not
been seen for many days and Mrs
Heaven concluded that she had secluded
herself somewhere with family of kit
tens; but as the supply of that article
with us more than equals the demand,
we had not searched for her with especial
zeal.

slowly about, as if her mind were quite
tree from harassing care, and finally ap-
preached a deserted cow-house where
there was great mound of straw. At
this moment she caught sight of us and
turned in another direction to throw us
OFT the scent. We persevered in our in.
tent1on OF going into the probable re-
treat, and were cautiously looking for
some sign of life in the haymow, when
we heard soft cackle and ruff1ing of
plumage. Coming closer to the sound
we saw black hen brooding a nest, her
bright eyes turning nervously from side
to side; and, coaxed out from her pro-
tectlng wings by youthful curiosity came
TOUR kittens, eyes wide open, warm,
happy, ready for sport!
The sight was irresistible, and Phoebe
ran for Mr.. and Mrs. Heaven and the
Square Baby. Mother Hen was not to
be daunted, even if her most sacred feel
lngs were regarded in height of cheap
entertainment. She held her ground
while one of the kits slid up and down
her glossy back and two others, more
t1m!d' crept underdeath her breast, only
daring to put out their pink noses! We
retired then for shame and met Mrs.
Greyskln in the doorway. This should
have thickened the plot, but there is ap.
parentiy no rivalry nor animosity be-
tween the co-mothers. We watch them

Why Women Join Clubs,

Women join clubs because they enjoy
sociability which is placed upon an intel.
lectual basis: The pleasure to be derived
from the exclusively fashionable gather.

the circle is comparatively small, and is
composed of persons who have similar
traditions and standards. There is apt,
after time, to be sense of monotony ;
there is also apt to be rivalry: and
above all, woman must be Young and
beautiful or rich and influential in order
to extract the true essence of the pleasure
OF fashionable society. Club society is
much more democratic, and is COMPOSED
of a greater variety of clements It's

rivalry as exists has nothing to do with
material things. The elderly and plain
