Ordination of Rev. Mr.. MOhr.

An interesting event took place at
the Congregational church in Cam.
bridge, on the afternoon of Wednes
day, January 20. An Ecclesiastical
Council had been called for the pur-
pose of advising regarding the ordi-
nation of Albert g. Mohr. In the
morning the Council organized and
it was found that six of the churches
of the county were represented and
that the three ministers invited were
present also. After approving the
records of the church and the creden-
tials of the candidate, the Council
listened to a paper presented as
statement of Christian belief, and
supplemented it by questions on
various points.
The examination was declared salts
factory and then a recess was taken
until two O'Clock in the afternoon,
at which hour the ordination service
was held. 1t was most impressive
ceremony and was witnessed by a
large congregation. The music was
appropriately chosen, and was in
charge of the organist, Harry ID.
Reynolds, assisted by Charles W.
LaBounty cornetist, and a large
choir. The sermon by the Rev. Irving
was heard with an attention that
proved how much it was enjoyed and
the other parts of the service were
equally fitting for such a solemn
occasion. The order of service was
as follows:

What proved to be a genuine sur
prise party was the gathering at the
residence of Hallet F. Hurlburt last
Friday evening, when over one hun
dred of his relatives, neighbors and
friends called upon him to commend
rate his fifty. fourth birthday. Late
in the afternoon Mrs. Hurlburt sent
Mr.. Hurlburt to Morrisville on bust

company had arrived, and this was
the first intimation that Hallet had
that anything unusual was to trans
pire. To the committee Of arrange
ments, with Albert Whitcomb at its
head, the success of the affair in a
great measure is due. They had very
thoughtfully provided music for the
occasion, and the evening was very
pleasantly passed in social inter
course, dancing, ETC., during which
time refreshments were served. Sub
stantial gifts were left with Mr.. Hurl-
burt, who very feelingIy expressed bis

words. 1t was very late hour when

A PROPHETIC TALE.

Once some doctors got to thinking,
And they thought and thought;
They swelled up with Importance and thought;
Thought they were precious lot
Came to this as a conclusion:
If the facts can thus be stated
And their thoughts be put in language
They we're not appreciated.
And they wondered how the people
Could be made to understand
The enormous fund of knowledge
They had at their command.
There was another matter
Which troubled these NJ Dis.
LamoiIle people we're so careless
There was scarcity of fees
And they thought that physician
Treading up the road to wealth
Surely ought to gain great riches
By giving Others health.
All the doctors of the county
Met one day in consultation
And they framed the LamOille
County Medical Association"
And they formed some resolutions
Which, they pledged, they would observe.
They resolved their tees to double.
would you think they'd have the nerve?)
The people of the county
Against this did rebel,
And swore they'd have no doctors,
For they always would be WELL
As time rolled slowly onward
4 wonderous change took place.
Diseases seemed to vanish
All sickness went apace.
Then thf % d GGtGEs- we're disGnn ragged
Thought their trust had been for naught
Even nature seemed against them,
Right against their aims it fought.
For diseases lost their terror,
Those from which we've often steered,
NJ, bo 70 al lTnantS
Not to be extremely feared.
Once there was a case of smallpox,
And of course mighty scare,
But quickly, all discovered,
There was no danger there.
1t was not now contagious,
The patient scarcely i'll,
And in days which now have vanished
Smallpox was sure to kill.
Thus this Association
Filled hearts with JOY and mirth.
But the doctors-ah Une doctors
Had vanished from this earth.
And have often wondered
If upon that golden shore,
They we're called in by st. Peter =
While passing Heavens door" ~

Letter to II. D. browne.
Norris vile, Vt.

Dear Sir: Here is a curious condi-
ton in the paint business, but it ex-
lists. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y, owns
two houses exactly alike; he painted
one with mixed paint-took II gal
Ions. Painted the other with Devoe !;
bought II gallons and had six left.
Same painter: George Gilbert. Same
results, so far as looks go.
As you are not a paint maker, you
probably don't understand why a
gallon of Devoe lead and zinc con-
tains twice as much paintas a gallon
of some of the mixed paints. Well
tell you: A gallon of milk that's
half waters isn't a gallon of milk
neither is a gallon of paint that's
half lime and china clay, gallon OF
paint. The following is the analysis
of one of the mixed paints sold in
your section:
Lead, zinc and color Al per cent
Lime and China Clay SO
This so per cent of Lime and China
CLAW is whitewash it is topaint what
water is to milk-adulteration con
sequently this paint contains only
Al per cent of legitimate paint ma
terial dead, zinc and color while
Devoe lead and zinc contains 100 pei
cent.
That explains why gallon of De
voc lead and zinc contains twice al
much paint as gallon of some of the
mixed paints.
Yours truly,

An Indian Corn Gown.

A cornstalk gown was one OF the
handsOmest dresses seen at an
afternoon tea. 1t was worn by a
guest of Mrs. Chas. Dana Gibson.
The skirt was a very pale green and,
trimming it around the foot, were
husks of corn, looking as though
just pulled off the ear. Even the
corn silk was visible in pale yellow
and light green falling from under
the husks. Around the foot of the
gown there was band of green vel
vet in a little deeper shade. The hat
was in corn color to complete the re-
semblance. -BrOoklyn Eagle.

PRI1CHARD'S LUNCHEON WITH

The public seems anxious to know
why the president wishes senator
Prichard 10 take the long journey from
western North Carolina to Long Island
for the sake of taking luncheon with
him and why the senator should be will
ling to a so far for hat which IS
no novelty TO him.. The impression
seems TO prevent that this invitation ina
dicates that the president has given up
all hope of having the supporting vote
of Mr.. Pritchard in the senate after
March 4. 1908 and that he wishes to
confer. with the senator on the matter
of providing for him after that date.
The rumor was started not long ago
that Senator Pritchard had concluded
to become the republican candidate for
congress in his district. feeling %convinc-
ed that there was not the slightes.
chance for his reelection and thinking
that perhaps there was some probabil-
ity of his carrying that congressional
district; but is denied, and il seems that
this hope is abandoned and our remain
ing republican senator has to look to tn
appOlntlVe power. OF the PRESIDENT u
enable him to keep in contact with the
federal treasury. Some think the con-
ference is for the purpose of devising
ways and means for securing the cleo
ton of one or more republican congress
men from this state. We know, from
recent utterances of the president, es-
pecially his remarks to c. a. Lyon. o.
Texas, thai it is his desire that his par
tvs chief efforts in coming campaign
and election shall be directed toward
securing as many members from the
south in the next congress as possible,
hut we give him credit for more politi-
cal sagacity thar to suppose he thinks
the republicans have n slightest
chance of carrying a single g
sional district in this state. Therefore
it is natural to suppose that his CON
ference is for the purpose OF MAKING
arrangements for taking ARE OF tn'
senator after the expiration of his pres
ent term in the senate.
