And boats ore few, and calm Is there
Upon the river lowing.
gladly hand them DER TO her.
And turn unto the steering
For when It's calm and Renie rows.
There's much of Joy appearing.
When Rcnlc rows the light skin makes
A wake both Wide and winding.
And am closely oIJupcd
The tillcr smartly Winding.
We sheer to right and sheer 10 left,
The grassy bank oft striking:
But Renie at the oars creates
A picture to my liking.
The color flashes TO her face.
Her happy laughter ringing:
Her skirts about her ankles lie
In sweet confusion cllnging.
The short sleeves OF her fllmy waist
Grow shorter with her rowing.
And two plump arms move back and forth.
The pink Of health glow showing.
Full soon she tires. the work is hard,
She looks at me with pleading:
! leave the tllcr to Its fate.
And let II sway unhecdng.
One oar apiece! A gallant crew.
We drift midst lilies growing:
When Rcnle rows I'm always glad
70 help her with the rowing.

In face of the fact that throughout
the dioceses of the country the SEN
timent appears to be against changing
the name of the Protestant Episcopal
church of the United States and that
Vermont as rule is famous for its
conservatism, it is rather surprising
to find that in the Vermont convention
OF Episcopalians at Rutland last week
a clear majority declared in favor of
a change of name, the only time the
question came to direct vote. The
matter was finally laid over until next
year without being carried to a finish
because it was felt by most of those
present that, inasmuch as the general
convention of the church does not
meet until next year and that delegates
to that convention will not be chosen
until next June, it would be premature
TO take a decided stand when the com
municants of the several parishes
could just as well have another year
to consider before expressing them
selves finally But, no matter in what
light it Is viewed, the positive vote of
the convention of the Vermont branch
of the church that it is desirable to
change the name of the church is inter-
esting and not inaccord with Vermont's
customary slowness to make radical
changes in we'll grounded things.
The other part of the question before
the convention being merely one Of
time whether the change should
be made now or at some indef-
mite future date, while of immediate in
terest does not affect the main ques-

A Woman'S Wealth.
Paine's Celery

GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATBD AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

Il is maintained by many distinguished
writer's that the greatness OF nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women The general conditions which con
tribute TO health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women Of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them loyable, we cannot hide the TACT
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to oyerwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion OF life power, have
become weak nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention Of all weary,
Respondent hopeless, and sickly women

trouble arose over request by the

that If the class gave a commencement

that no mention should be made of it

and the work of the school undoubt-

will take some time TO recover. From
this distance it looks as though the
school trustees were chiefly responsible
in having oficiously interferred in a
matter that was none of their business.
The pupils were clearly within their
rights in arranging to hold a com
meucement dance as long as they did
not allow it to interfere with their
school work, while to have count
enanced the dance and at the same
time to have refused to allow it TO APP
