Ghautauaua Park Association.

A meeting 81 the nnefubBrs u the
Naxahachie Chautallqun Park As
soeiation and ali Others interested
HI the welfare Of the city and the
Chautanqna movement, has been
called for $50 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon at the Citizens National
Bank. The purpose OF the meeting
is to discuss preliminary matters
relative to the organization of the
association. The Chautauqua hav-
ing become permanent addition to
the social life of the city, II is de-
sired to take advantage of every OPP
portunity to make it known as de-
sirable center Of public gatherings
of an educational or religious ma
ture. The Baptist YoungaPeople's
Union of this city are making an eff
fort to have the next annual con
vention of that body to be held in
1903 come to this city. The Chau-
tauqua park is an ideal place for
holding such convention, and 1t
would he well for the association to
take up the matter with the officers
of the local union and endeavor to
secure the meeting of the conyen-
ton here next year. In this con-
nection the Light would also sug-
gest that the Texas Press Associa-
ton to convene next month in
Gainesville is ready to come to
Waxahaehie. At the last meeting
in Houston Mr.. Buie, of this paper,
put Waxahachie in nomination upon
his own motion, but was induced to
withdraw it upon the assurance of
many of the members that they
would vote for Waxahachie at the
next meeting. This association has
some three hundred members among
the Leading newspaper men Of the
state, and by the meeting of 1903 we
will be ready to show them the most
progressive and most beautiful lit
tie city in Texas. 1t takes practi
cally no money to entertain the ed
itors, as they pay their own ex-
penses, and the benefit resulting
from their meeting here can hardly
be estimated. The Light hopes to
have such a meeting at the Citizens
bank Wednesday afternoon as will
require adjournment TO the district
court room. Our opportunities are
coming fast now, and we must grasp
them as they come. e

from his home near Avalon. He is
thoroughbred Irishman, being

DRY of st. Patrick when his notice
was attracted to coal black negro
coming along with huge hoquet of
green pinned to the lapel of his coat.
AT this sight Jimmie threw up his
hands in holy borrow and exclaimed
that it was enough to make hog
lose his relish for breakfast.

School Notes.

The grade and district teachers Of
the town hold meeting this afternoon
in the High school building, for the
discussion of the educational methods
of China, India, and Persia.
Miss Marion Wilson. Bellows Falls
High school '02, will remain as the
guest of Mrs. C. A. Moore on Henry
street through the winter, in order
that she may complete her course
here.
Schools were closed Wednesday, and
the teachers, 2S in number, attended
the teachers institute in Walpole. AS
the total number of teachers in attend
ance was IS, it looks as though Bel
lows Falls did her share.
The High school basket ball team
played one of the cleanest games of
the season at White River Junction
against the first team of that place
Jan. 9, with the score of 1919 in favor
of the White River Junction team.
The boys complain that the Junction
people treated them so nicely that it
has spoiled them for all ordinary
treatment, The team played at Keene
the 10th with the High school boys of
that place, winning 4S-34. The Keene
team forgot they were playing basket
ball, thinking it was foot ball, but our
team rose to the occasion and beat
them at their own game Games

The Evangelistic Meetings.

The union gospel meetings have
grown steadily in interest during the
past week, and have been largely at
tended. The audience at the Baptist
church Sunday evening crowded the
house, including both galleries. The
week night meetings have also been
well attended. There have been new
inquirers every night, and the meet
ings are now reaching an older and
more conservative class of people. and
the churches are being greatly quick
ened. On Wednesday evening a full
house listened to Mr.. Davidson's SER
mon on He'll" The speaker. in his
central thought, showed that all law
has penalty attached. The physical.
the civil, and the moral law must be
respected and obeyed if men are to be
happy. If man puts his finger into
the fire, he will be burned and suffer
intense pain. The pain is the penalty
OF the broken law. If he commits a
crime against the people of Vermont
he will be arrested and tried. and if
found guilty, he will be sentenced to
Jail or prison. He has broken the civil
law, and must suffer the penalty.
Again, if he violates the moral law. he
cannot escape; penalty is sure to
come.
But some say, I'VE believe that to
be true, but we believe that all punish.
ment is in this life. What we object
to is the teaching that there is a flu

Mr.. Davidson showed that men do
not receive justice in this world. A
man who steals ten dollars is punish.

world has ever had have died broken.

Shadow Pictures by Marc.

Shadowgraphy is the art of making
life like shadow silhouettes with the
hands by projecting them on a white
screen with the aid of a powerful light
Marc, the Magician, is probably the
greatest living exponent of this art
To see Maro's Shadowgraph is to see
figures of real everyday life. You see the
lover serenade his sweetheart, and the
laughable interruption by the father; the
fisherman who successfully fishes; the
JOCKEY ride the prancing steed; the old
maid pun and powder, besides animals
and faces innumerable A hundred other
mirth-provoking incidences are all at the
finger tips of the wonderful Marc.

The Red Albumen Fake.

The Red Albumen + axe.
The red albumen fake has found
many victims in BrattlebOro and vi
entity. The preparation was supposed
to make the contumaCiOus hen fruitful
at all seasons, particularly in the win
ter. when the price for eggs goes soar
ing. The first that was heard OF red
albumen was in an article in an agrl-
cultural paper published in st. Louis.
This told how the farmers in q west
ern state had kept hens laying every
day with a marvellous egg elixir which
could be procured at any druggists.
The egg pusher simply needed to be
mixed with pepper and then stirred into
the meal. There was no Interior pur-
pose or no proprietary interest appar-
ent in the statement The article
seemed so new and interesting that it
was copied by large per cent OF the
agricultural journals of the country.
and was also advocated extensively by
circulars The druggists were puz-
zled at first when the demand came
for red albumen. But about this time
concern located in the region where
the red albumen story started let the
drug trade know that it was prepared
to furnish the article in question. The
druggists bought. and sold, and re-
peated the process. but still the de-
mand continued. Finally red albumen
was analysed at one of the colleges.
1t was found to be largely a mixture
of sand and red paint. The red al
bumen craze had got under full head
way. and the demand for it still con
tinues. but not to so great an extent as
formerly. At one time so many orders
came in that the wholesale drug con
Germs could not supply the trade. 1t
is understood that in order TO keep
pace with the demand factories We're
started in Chicago and St. Louis in adj
! dition TO the one which first set the
| product going.

ONCE Is ENOUGH To SEE

Gustave Dore's portrait of Dante is worth
seeing-once. But once is enough. Some
such look you notice on the faces of those
who have suffered, and still suffer, much
physical pain; people subject torheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-
go, or pain from some old lesion. This pain
habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
of handling ropes crooks sailors fingers !;
or as too much riding of bicycle stamps
worried expression on certain faces. No
wonder people said of the Italian poet as
he passed along, "There goes
