SCOTS Emulsion is not a
good medicine for fat folks.
We have never tried giving it
to real fat person. We don't
dare. You see SCOTS Emul-
sion builds new flesh. Fat
people don't want it. Strong
people don't need it.
But if you are thin SCOTS
Emulsion is the medicine for
you. 1t doesn't tire you out.
There is no strain. The work
is all natural and easy. You
just take the medicine and
that's all there is to it.
The next thing you know
you feel better-you eat better
you weigh more. 1t is
a quiet worker.

Emma Button Cornwall.

Emma Button, daughter of William and
Nancy Button, was born in Royalton, VT,
Sept. %, 1913, and died at Milton Junction
March /, 1902.
Her father died July IS, 1855, and her
mother on Sept. u, 1855, leaving Emma,
seven years, and Willie, three months old.
They were taken into the home of Charles
S. and Philena Button and adopted as
their own. Willie died Sept. 25, 1863.
Emma was kept in school until 1867, when
she graduated from the Normal at Ran
dolph, VT, after which she taught school
until she came west with her brother, G..
S. Button. and family in 1874.
In 1875 she was married to Marshall
Cornwall, who died Dec. 2S, 1899.
Her whole life was spent in doing some
thing to make others happy; never was an
unkind word spoken by her. She looked
on the bright side of life. She often spoke
of the dear home she was blessed with
when left alone.
She was a member of the Universalist
church and it was a great comfort to her
in her last sickness to believe we shall be
united as one family. She was ready TO go
and said To her sister, SHOW much better
that should go first as you have always
cared for me-"
Dear Emma, your life work is done, but
your kind words and deeds will never be
forgotten.

The Drama.

| Considering the travelling Wednesday
/ night of last week there was large audi
ence out to see "a Green Mountain Boy
presented by the Chelsea Amateur Ora
matte Co. The dramatic clubs OF this
town, from way back, have always main
tanned high standard OF excellence and
much interest was manifested in the
young people by their friends and espec-
tally by the old Dramatic company TO
have them keep the record good. They
fully met the expectations of all and II
some did not have swelled heads with the
compliments showered upon them they
were fortunate. George Griffin as Salem
Town, the green Vermont boy, took the
part finely but needed more rehearsals on
the change to polished gentleman from
abroad. Myron Little as Duploy, the cool
and cruel villain, was ugly enough to suit
the most fastidious. Herman Davis, as
the New York banker, was made up so
that probably not half dozen people in
the hall would have known him without
referring TO the programs. Charlie Dick
inson, as Uncle Shad from the country,
seemed TO carry the audience right along
with him " herever he went and il got so
he could not move his big boots without
q storm OF applause. The fragile dude was
viii Dickinson, "don't We nav, he acted
il well but il Is a hard part to tackle and
nc uEElNN AfAAlt fNAthAnAlk AtA hDtit par Vs.
Fay Allen as Billy was "handy to have
round and did not have a very hard time
anywhere, but he always stood by Salem.
Miss Flora Whitcomb as Mr.. Beckwith's
daughter. Daisy, was true-hearted girl
and bound 10 marry Salem, II he was
green. She acted the part finely. A few
more rehearsals on the stage might have
brought more feeling into the part in
two or three places. The part OF Madeline
was one OF those weeping, melancholy
characters, the deserted wife. She had
the sympathy OF the audience but OF
course not the applause. Miss Sybn Sar-
gent carried out the part in highly
creditable manner. Miss Ethel George
took the part OF Aunt Hulda, not young,
but still retaining some OF her youthful
charms, thanks TO the bracing air OF the
Green mountains. She also acted in
the character of Old Kinchen, who was
billed as terror, and she fully demon
strated the part in the cool, deliberate
manner in which she planned TO murder
Madeline in the interest OF Duploy. She
acted excellently in both characters. The
play was in five acts and several scenes
and the only drawback was the long
waits once or twice, which were unayoid-
able ON the stage in changing curtain
scenes. Good music was furnished 70
entertain the people by l.. ID. Parkhurst,
cornet; Fred Parkhurst, violin; Mrs.
Cleveland, piano. The receipts of the
evening were S4I.20. The make up in
each OF the parts was good and the COM
pany is TO be congratulated on its success.
