A Dinner at Springfield.

The Springfield Republican of Nov. Is,
gives the following account of the
Thanksgiving dinner given by Henry L.
Clapp just previous to his departure to
his home in Malta:
A dinner at which the real Thanksgiv-
ing day spirit prevailed was given yester
day afternoon at the Massasoit house by
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry L. Clapp OF Malta.
Though Mr. ClapP now makes his home
on foreign soil, the old New England
Thanksgiving day was not forgotten
while on his visit to this country with
Mrs. Clapp. And when few weeks ago
he conceived the idea of gathering little
company of relatives and friends on that
day he settled on the Massasoit house in
this city as the ideal place for the event.
Mr. Clapp was borni in Enfield and it was
in Chicopee that his father. Rev. Sumner
6. Clapp, preached in the Congrega
tional church for 10 years. He was,
therefore. well acquainted with this sec
ton of New England. The thought of
happy one, and it is doubtful if any more
enjoyable reunion was held in this city
yesterday. Dinner was served at 1. but
it was not until late hour in the after
noon that the guests left the table.
Meantime, besides aking of an old
fashioned Thanksgiving-day dinner, the
members of the company had heard
many happy speeches well suited to the
spirit OF the occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clapp sail on the Republic for Naples on
their way home to Malta December l.
The guests, nearly all OF whom were
either members of Mr.. Clapp's family or
related by marriage. were as follows:
Prot and Mrs. Stevens Of Rochester,
N. Y, Judge Henry w. Bosworth and
Mrs. Bosworth, DIR. and Mrs. ]. T..
Herrick and Paul Herrick OF Springfield,
Mr.. and Mrs. George B. Knapp OF Bos-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Fl. Brooks.
Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks and Miss
Fairbanks of St. Johnsbury, VT, Miss
Dammit, Mrs Clapp's sister, Miss ]. E..
Strong and Mrs. Sarah Kingsley and son,
Fred Kingsley.
Andrew T. Kolat schevsky, son of the
Russian consul at Malta and now stu
dent at the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, was also one of the guests.

The Beginning of the End.

As previously announced the merchants
of St. Johnsbnry have all agreed to 60
out of the trading stamp business after
tomorrow. The Red Trading stamp
store will be kept open for about ten
DAYS to enable those having the books
to exchange them for premiums, and the
manager of the Green Trading Stamp
store says that the store will be contin-
ned here indefinitely.
The CALIFORNIAN views on this
something for nothing" scheme are too
well known to need repeating, and as
far as the merchants have been inter-
viewed with hardly an exception they
are glad to give up the scheme. After
years trial it has cost them in cash paid
for stamps nearly 500 600, one firm
alone having paid out $4,000 tor stamps,
while several other firms have bought
about $1,000 worth apiece. AS one mer-
chant said yesterday he appreciated the
cash trade, but was free to confess it
was obt aimed at too dear price. The
following poem has been sent this paper
by one OF the victims OF the scheme:
There's many grave the hillside
Where the sentinel angel tramps,
That is filed with deluded ladies
Who collected Trading Stamps.
They raced thro' the stormy snowdrifts,
They raced when the ground was damp
They sickened and died in honor
For the poor old Trading Stamp.
Some died for few pink dishes.
Some died for Morris chair,
But alas on the quiet hillside
We know that the crowd is there.
So I'll write them little tribute,
And hope that the world won't laugh
At the deep and profound motion
In this beautiful epitaph:
'fHere lies on the silent hillside
Where the yig1ant sentinel tramps,
score of heroic women
Who collected Trading Stamps
They died for something for nothing
They died in the strenuous game,
Yet, leaving their STAN ps behind them
They got there just the same

Lucier's MinstreiS.

The attraction at the Stanley Opera
House Friday evening was the ever en-
joyable Lucier's Minstrels, and the large
and appreciative au Hence was not dis
appointed. The organization is headed
this year, as it has been tor several sea-
sons, by J R. Lucier, the noted blind cor
net soloist. The first part was very
pretty and all the voices were good.
The fun-maker of the company is Eddie
Labarrie, who kept the audience in good
spirits from his first appearance till the
drop of the curtain. The Lucier's carry
a good band and they will always find a
welcome In St. Johnsbury.

After you've been married little
while you're going to find that there
are two kinds of happiness you can
have-home happiness and fashionable
happiness. With the first kind you get
a lot of children and with the second
a lot of dogs While dogs mind better
and seem more affectionate, because
they kiss you with their whole face,
I've always preferred to associate
with children. Then for the first kind
of happiness you keep house for your
self, and for the second you keep
house for the neighbors.
You can buy lot of home happiness
with mighty small salary, but fash
ionable happiness always costs just
little more than you're making. You
can't keep down expenses when
you've got to keep up appearances
that Is, the appearance of being some
thing that you amt. You're in the fix
of dog chasing his tail-you can't
make ends meet, and If you do it'll
give you such q crick in your neck
that you won't get any real sat1sfac-
ton out of your gymnastics. You've
got to live on rump steak basis when
y
be on quail on toast basis when you
have company. And while they're eat
ing your quail and betting that they're
cold storage birds they'll be whisper
ing to each other that the butcher
told their cook that you lived all last
week on soup bone and two pounds
Of hamburger steak. Your wife must
hog it around the house in an old
wrapper because she's got to have two
or three of those dresses that come
high on the bills and low on the
shoulders, and when she wears 'em
the neighbors are going to wonder
how much you're short in your &C
counts. And if you've been raised
shouting Methodist and been used to
hollering your satisfaction in good
hearty GLORY" or "HalleluiahP'
you've got to quit it and go to one of
those churches where the right an
swer to the question What is the
chief end of man?'' is Dividend" and
where they think you're throwing a fit
and sick the sexton on to you If you
forget yourself and whoop it up lit
tie when your religion gets to work
ing.
Then II you do nave any children
you can't send them to a plain public
school to learn reading, writing and
arithmetic, because they've got to go to
a fashionable private one to learn hog
Latin, hog wash and how much the
neighbors are worth. OF course the
rich children are going to say that
they're pushing little kids, but, they've
got to learn to push and to shove and
to butt right in where they're not
wanted If they intend to herd with the
real Angora billy goats. They've got to
learn how to bow low to every one
IN front Of them and to kick out at
every one behind them. It's been my
experience that it takes a good four
year course in snubbing before you can
graduate first class Snob.
Then when you've sweat along at
it for a dozen years or so you'll wake
up some morning and discover that
your appearances haven't deceived any
one but yourself A man who tries
that game is a good deal like the fell
low who puts on a fancy vest over
dirty shirt-he's the only person in the
world who can't see the egg spots I'M
der his chin
