The Age of Anne.

AS some of The Ages correspond.
ents are ready to argue that Anne is
twelve years of age, we print an ex.
PLANTATION Of the problem as given
by metropolitan contemporary:
"Mary is twenty-lour years old
Mary is twice as old as Anne was
when Mary was as old as Anne is
now. How old is Anne?'
Obviously Mary must have been
twelve when Mary was as old as
Anne is now. Twice twelve i:
twenty-iour, and Anne was twelve
at the time in dispute or Mary could
not possibly, at rwenty-four, be
twice as old today. There is no es'
cape from these premises. The
only point remaining to be settled is
the present age of Anne, and we
do that by advancing Anne from
twelve toa figure at which Mary,
going back from twenty-four, would
meet her. The midway point is
eighteen. Six years added to twelve
makes eighteen. Six years ago,
therefore, Anne was just half as old
as Mary is now, in other words,
twelve, and hence, at this moment
Anne, being six years older, is
eighteen.

BRIGGS.
ELSIE KENNEDY SPAULDING.

The death of Elsie Kennedy
Spaulding, wife of l.. II. Spaulding,
OH Monday, Nov. ed, was no sur
prise to her many friends, VINO have
been aware of her critical condition
for several days. Yet to them it is
none the less an occasion of much
grief when they remember her many
good qualities, mingled as such rec
objections must be with feelings of
deep regret that life so full Of
promise should end without its
full fruition. Elsie was the daughter
of M. E. Kennedy and was born in
Bridgewater, Feb. 2, 1852. Never
very robust in health, of a keenly
sensitive spirit, and those that knew
her best can best recall her many
virtues. She was "A lady Of more
than ordinary capability, true
friend, a kind neighbor, and one
who will be missed in this commu-
nifty. She leaves behind to mourn
her loss a devoted husband, her
aged parents, and an only sister.
The services were held at her late
residence, when Rev. Fl. L. Can
field Of Woodstock spoke to large
number OF neighbors and acquain-
tances. Interment was in the Gem
etery at Bridgewater village, where
AN appropriate ceremony was con-
Quoted by the Bridgewater grange,
Of which she was member.
One more has gone from us. in sorrow we
lay
Our sister and friend to her rest;
Our loss is her gain. in submission we bow,
And say in our tears 1t is best.
Not shadow will fall on our loved one
again.
Not sigh will escape her by reason of
pain.
The mourner will weep. but she nevermore,
For Elsie has gone to far brighter
shore.

Uncle Sam will probably come
nearer getting his moneys worth in
Panama than in the Philippines.

"Again, national issues will be
before the country next year which
are Of more vital Importance than
the local affairs of any state" So
the Mortified News thinks it would
be wise to postpone all issues OF
local interest till after the election
OF 1904, and thus better the chances
to lead off with roaring majority
for the national Republican ticket.
This is all well enough from \ con.
sentative Republican standpoint, but
if Vermont has any home matters
that need looking after at once next
September is Il good time to do the
business. lf we're voting for gov
ernor, vote for governor. Inciden-
t'll,, there is considerable opposi.
ton to the local option law and it
isn't likely that its friends, espec-
tally Mr.. Clement, will sleep
through the next twelve months.

An itlnerant Preachers Description OF
a Salts Glory.


Cyrus Townsend Brady was talk
ing about the itincranl preachers
of the past.
"These men," he said, ''were rug
ged and sincere. Their minds, il
they were coarse, were also strong,
Their eloquence was sometimes pow.
erful. Sometimes it was amazing.
"There was notable itinerant
who once preached on the GLORY OF
the Saints, and the description Of a
saints glory that he gave in this
sermon deserves, | think, to be per-
petuated. This is the description,
word for word;
"'Who, my brethren, can describe
the glory of a saint? Why, nothing
on earth can likcn it. II you drill a
hole through the sun and put it on
your head for crown and split the
moon asunder and put the pieces
on your shoulders for epaulets, il
you tear down the starry curtain of
the skies and wrap it round your
body for robe and ride to heaven
on the lightning wings of the tenn
pest, this will be nothing to the
glory of the saints. '"
