Lenora G. Tewksbury Kelton, wife
of the late J. Austin Kelton, died on
Monday at the home of her daughter,
Mrs Hiram Odell, on East Liberty

rapidly during the past year and was
obliged to take her bed several days
ago She was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Tewksbury and was
born at their home in Calais on
March 10, 1874. She spent the early
part of her single life and part of her
married life at this home in Calais
and later went to Worcester. She was
married to J. Austin Kelton thirty
four year ago and the union was a
most happy one, few married people
being as devoted to each other throug-
hout their life journey as they. About
fifteen years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Kelton
moved to Montpelier and became
widely and favorably known in the
hotel business, Mr.. Kelton being
proprietor of the old Exchange for
some years.
About ten years ago Mr.. Kelton
died and Mrs. Kelton had never quite
recovered from the shock of losing her
life partner and had since been failing
slowly. She was a woman of q quiet
disposition and her kingdom was her
home. She chose rather to develop
her home ties than to seek pleasure
elsewhere. Mrs Kelton was a mem ber

Letter to Bruce Mcdonald

Dear Sir: Would you rather have
your customers speak of your shoes as
wearing we'll, as not running donw at
the heel, as turning water, and TAX
ing shine; or wag their heads and
say nothing?
We'd rather have ours, at long in
tervals say: ''We want some more
paint, and we want Devoe. " We
know it isn't in human nature to
paint very often; we don't want 'em
to. All we want is to paint what
they have to paint, whenever they
paint it; the longer the time, the
surer they are to come back. There S
business enough in the world; there
are houses enough to paint: let 'em
take their time.
If we were shoemaker, we'd make
shoes to last half lifetime, and shoe
the whole town.
Yours truly,
+. W. Devoe q Co.

SEVERAL BooMLETs.
Many Names Mentioned For the Vice
Presidency.


St. Louis July 6.-The vice presiden-
tiaI situation was tersely sketched by
Major Menzies of Indiana, himself a
vice presidential possibility, when he
said tonight:
we will finish the nomination Of
presidential candidate before we go to
warning about the second place on the
ticket. Like the lamented father of i'm
mortal 'Huckleberry Finn our motto
is. Meat first, and spoon Vittels arter-
wards
There was enough Of gossip to satisfy
but aside from the movement in behalf
of George Turner of Washington there
was no we'll defined vice presidential
boom. A furry resulted from the re
port. early in the evening. that James
H Eckels of Illinois had begun an ac-
tive fight for Judge Harmon, but the
Harmon people declare the story alb
surd. and asserted that Harmon had
already positively and finally declined
TO accept anything but first place on
the ticket.
There was a good deal Of talk during
the afternoon and evening favorable
to Representative Williams of Illinois,
and throughout the day he was. next to
Turner. perhaps the most frequently
mentioned Of the long list of vice pres
identiaI possibilities The Washington
delegation was confident of the nomin-

upon him at the Southern hotel and
made the tender. Mr.. Clark answered
that he was Engaged to put the name
Of Senator COckrell I'm nomination for
the presidency. and therefore would
have to be on the floor during the con-
vantiCn- He was urged to reconsider
and finally agreed TO send telegram
TO Senator CoCkTeu TO the effect that
the place had been offered him. If
Senator COckreli makes no objection,
Mr.. Clark viii accept. In view Of the
certainty that Parker will be nomin-
ated. it is believed that Senator Cock
rell will ask that his name be with
drawn.
II i'm that event Senator CCckreIFs
friends insist on presenting his name
to the convention. it is thought the
nominating speech VIII be made by
some other member Of the Missouri
delegation. Mr.. Clark would then be
free to accept the craftsmanship.
