of 4. @. Bowers with Joseph Wilson,
the veteran chef from Providence, K.
l., in charge of the preparation of the
food. A dozen young men from Barre
and Montpelier passed the liquid re-
freshments, while about twenty-five
young ladies served the food. The
bill of fare included clam chowder,
steamed CLANS, steamed lobster, corn,
sweet potatoes and watermelon After
the spread each guest was presented
with long stemmed wooden pipe of
rustic finish as a souvenir of the occa-
sion. The Wilder Orchestra of twelve
pieces furnished delightful music. To
say that the affair was managed with
all the smoothness and ease with
which these annual events have been
carried through previously is indeed
Sufficient praise, but many who were
present said that this was the best
''bake" ever given in town. After
the spread most of the men hurried off
to the ball game.

THE LIFT or TIE HEART.

When we stand with the woods around
Us
And the great boughs overhead;
When the wind blows cool on our fore.
heads,
And the breath of the pines is shed;
When the song of the thrush is RUG
ing
Wonderful. rich, apart
Between the sound and the silence
Comes a sudden lift of the heart.
When we gaze from wintry summit
Over mountain-tops aglow
In the clesr cold light of the sunset
And on pools of dusk below;
When the frozen woods are so silent
That dead leaf makes us START
Between the flush and the fading
Comes a sudden lift of the heart.
When we seek with the clearer vision
That Grief the Revealer brings
For the threads that are shot together
In the close wrought web of Things,
And find that Pain is woven
Into Love and Joy and Art
Between the search aud the solace
Comes q sudden lift of the heart.
And when life's farthing candle
Cutters and flares and sinks;
When the eye no longer wanders
And the brain no longer thinks;
When only the hand plucks idly
At the sheet till the spirit part,
Does there come between living and
dying
A sudden lift of the heart?

ing on the new Elm street school
building in Barre on Saturday after
noon, William Bailey, negro, is still
alive and the chances for his recov-
cry are good Eie landed partly on
his head and partly on his back in
pile Ut bricks and when the workmen
went to pick him up they expected to
handle dead man, but instead of that
he was very much alive and would let
none of them touch him for some
time. 1t was found after he had
been taken to the emergency hospital
that no bones we're broken with the
exception of his right hand. He had
many severe scalp wounds and was
badly bruised.

PROSPECTS, GOOD.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 26. The report
is revived here that the Duke of Marl-
borough, who married Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt. may be appointed gov
general of Canada. When first
mentioned some months ago the re-
port was received with incredulity
but since then it is said developments
have occurred which render the ap-
pointment more probable. One of them
is that the duke has been training at
the colonial office. There is also the
fact that he stands in high favor with
the present administration at West
minister.
