beds, bedding, and other articles that
would afterwards be available for hos
pital uses. The district nurses were
FOR time placed IN charge of the
building. until it was found that UNI
der the conditions then existing too
great stress was put upon the head
nurse, with work both inside and out
side Of the building. The expense Of
maintaining this iniirmary was re-
GREETED by the trustees. in view of the
fact that all available money was
needed for hospital construction. and
that the cost of maintaining heat, ser
vice. etc. WAS necessarily large in pro-
portion 10 the number of rooms avail
able for patients The need, however
for this accommodation at that time
was SO great that the building has
been kept open until the beginning of
building operations on the hospital,
and since then the emergency surgical
room that was fitted up in the build
ing and one or two beds, have been
kept ready for emergencies. and occa-
siona}ly used to good purpose.

The Secret.

1t wasn't the sun. and it wasn't the
sky,
Nor the glad little birds that sung,
Nor the whispering winds that went
lettering by,
And because they both were young,
That life seemed wrapped in a silver
haze,
Like the breast of a brooding dove,
But because they had plucked on the
worlds highways
The marvellous bloom of love-
Sweetheart
The marvellous bloom of love.
For the sun went down and the air
turned chill
And the winter winds blew cold,
And the birds i'm their leafy homes
were still,
And the lovers glad grew old!
But still were their grateful hearts
perfumed
Through poverty pain and ruth,
BY the fragrance sweet of the flower
that bloomed
In the happy days Of their youth.
Sweetheart
The days of their eager youth.

WHAT THE TRUSTEES SAY.

1t became the first duty of the trus-
tees to find out as far as possible the
number and circumstances Of the
''seamstreSses. needle women and
shop girls of BrattIeboro, and to make
arrangements for giving aid and sup
port to those of them who might be
in temporary need and TO use the
residue of the income for kindred
purposes in Brattlehoro or other
towns These kindred charitable
purposes" the trustees have UNDER
stood to mean uses that promised the
best results in making the conditions
of life better for the poor preferably
in Brattleboro or in its neighborhood.
The additional uses that have been
found for the fund are: support of
kindergarten establishment Of dis
trict nursing; maintenance of the IN
Urinary at the Hemlocks, and CON
struction work on hospital building.
Much of the work of the trustees
in an untried field has necessarily
been imperfect, and in some cases eX- /
perimental They wish especially to
express their appreciation of the ser
vice that has been rendered to them
and to the community by Mrs James
NJ Tyler and Mrs. Frank Wells in
to the needs of the sew
ing women.

THE eRATTLERoRo HOSPITAL.

| Shortly after their appointment in
| 1901 the trustees received notice from
the owners that the Hemlocks estate
was about to be sold, and ii was
/ finally purchased at cost Of about
$4,000. After this purchase the trus-
tees had only about $4,000 available
for hospital construction. II has con-
Sequcnuy been necessary to accumu-
late money during the last two years.
Early in 1902 a committee to inVesti-
gate ana report on plans was formed,
consisting of DR.. ii. ID. Holton DR.. 5.
T.. LaWton and DR.. A. l. Miller. Dr.
farrar Cobb OF Boston was engaged as
an adviser ana was given charge of
the preparation of the plans. Plans
were presented by Dr. Cobb early IN
the summer but il was found that they
could not be executed within the limit
of expense. and the work of prepara-
tion Of new plans was accordingly
given To Kendall, Taylor a. Stevens of
Boston. architects. The main contract
is let TO Messrs. Cutting & Company
Of Worcester and il is expected that
construction Will be completed in the |
summer Of 1904. The hospital will |
cost about $4,000, including the isola |
ton building
In designing the hospital a few |
chief objects have been kept in view.
FIRST 90 put as much as possible of
the available money into those parts
where modern construction is most
needed and where the patients win get
The most direct benefit from it, name
~, into the patients pavilion and the
operating department This having
been done, the mansion has been
adapted 10 use for offices, kitchen
laundry quarters for help, etc, and
good accommodation has been OBJ
aimed mt a cost much less than usual
'ar this part of the hospital service,
which has not the same need Of spec
al hospital construction. In following
his plan little or nothing has been
sacrificed except that imposing archi-
ectural effect in administration quar-
ers which is no longer considered the
essential feature of a hospital.
In addition to this the main objects
rave been to have "A complete operat-
ng department in building by itself
nd to place the patients in n separate
,uAding where they can be free from
mells, noise and other disturbing
onditions, where they viii be as safe
rom fire as it is humanity possible to
ave Them and where, being on a sin
lie floor. they can receive the neces-
airy care and watching. with the
EAST possible wear and tear upon the
ursing force.

Wouldn't Lie Twice.

Norah had been told to say at the
front door that her mistress was not
at home when certain callers APP
peared upon the scene. 1t evidently
went much against the grain for her
to make herself responsible for even
so small a white lie, but she promised
TO do So and. with certain modifica-
tions, she kept her word.
Is Mrs. Blank at home?" inquired
the caller.

The Reformer publishes below an
abstract of a pamphlet describing the
expenditures of the trustees under
the viii of Thomas Thompson. This
pamphlet, which win soon be ready
for general circulation throughout
the town, reviews thoroughly the
work of the trustees from the begin
ming of the trust until August /, 1903.
at which time Mrs j. NJ. Tyler re-
signed from the local administration
board and work upon the Thompson
memorial hospital began. Much that
the pamphlet contains has appeared
exclusively in the Reformer at differ
ent times and so is summarized. The
third account of the trustees, how
ever is given in full together with re-
ports of the manner in which the
money has been expended locally and
the work that has been done in the
way Of district nursing, free kinder
garten support and other charities.

THE HEMLocKs INFIRMARY.

Early in 1902 it became necessary
to find some place to care for two Of
the older sewing women, one of whom
in particular was in and without a
proper place where she could be given
the care and comfort that she greatly
needed. II was thought best. after
considering a number of alternatives.
to open the house at The Hemlocks.
in order that these sewing women
could be cared for. together with such
other cases as il might be possible to
accommodate. In doing this it was
found necessary TO spend a consider
able amount upon plumbing and other
repairs. but these expenditures We're
made in such a way as TO anticipate
what would have to be done when the
house came into use in connection

TIE KINDERGARTEN

The use of part Of the fund at pres
ent for the Kindergarten seems to he
desirable from the fact that there are
certain families whore the father is
dead or incapacitated and the sup
port comes upon the mother and the
care and education of the children
during her working hours is both a
help to the mother and an advantage
to the community, as il not only en-
ahles the mother to work and support
her family. but it also keeps the chill
dren out of the street and gives them
a better start in life than they would
otherwise receive The current week
~ expenses Of the kindergarten are
as follows:
Salaries. Principal, per week $40 %

Christians United.

A unique religious service was recently held in the Jewish syna- gogue at Texarkana. The occasion was joint farewell between the Jewish congregation and that of the First Methodist Episcopal church, South. The latter was or ganized little more than year ago, with Rev. James Thomas as pastor. The new church at that time was without any house of worship, and Rev. Dr. Joseph Bo- gen rendered the use of the syna- gogue until such time as the newly organized Methodist body could build itself a church. The offer was accepted and for more than twelve months the congregation of the Methodist church held services in the synagogue The two congre- gations, Jewish and Methodist, came to like and admire each other very much during the time The new house of worship built by the Methodists having been completed by a pre-arranged plan, the two pastors brought their focks togeth- CT for a farewell service. Dr. Thom- as and Rabbi Bogen sat side by side ill the pulpit while the two ehoirs alternately rendered choice selections of sacred music. Dr. Bogen delivered a broad, schol- arly address, which was followed by one from Dr. Thomas of a like character. Both speeches breathed a spirit of broad liberality and tol- eration, and were greatly enjoyed by the large audience present Suit able resolutions of thanks were of fered, and unanimously adopted by the Methodist people, and a suita- ble response to these was made by the Jewish congregation. The rab- bi prayed for Gods richest bless ings to rest upon the Methodists and Dr. Thomas in turn invoked heavens constant care and benedic- ton upon the Jewish flock. The service ended with all uniting in singing Nearer, My God, to Thee

This action by the grand jury is said to be the out come of the long fight waged by the Anti-Gambling Association against gambling in Little Rock. The first step was the filing of information with the circuit court against cer- tain saIoon-keepers. alleging that they operated gaming devices. on which an order of seizure Was is sued to the sheriff. \ number of tables were secured and they are now piled in the rear of Judge Lea's courtroom, pending the de- cision of the supreme court in tie case against R.
