ltorium, when ten of the High
Schools best speakers will struggle
for success. Young's Orchestra of
st. Johnsbury will furnish music both

graduating exercises proper on We'd
nesday evening.
About ten o'clock Friday evening
j. l.. Stafford and wife were awaken
ed by wierd noises upon the roof and
the murmur of voices about the
house. They naturally were a little
surprised and disturbed, until they
recognized the voices of several of
their near neighbors and of Mr.. Stat
ford's brother, Frank. "Lote" then
decided to investigate and going to
the door gently asked the assembled
multitude, if it knew what it was
about and why? 1t then transpired
that Moses Douglas and the "Doc-
tor" in coming up street had smelled
smoke of a peculiar odor and, by a
Sherlock Holmes process of reason
ing, had fixed upon the Stafford
home as the scene of the trouble.
Moses then began to see wreaths of
smoke coming from the roof and it
became question of how to save the
inmates and the house,
if possible. Moses found that Frank
was at band meeting and ran to in
form him, arriving in breathless
and barely able to beckon
to Frank. This unusual proceeding
excited the rest of the boys and they
all followed the pair down the street,
picking up what stragglers were on
the way. And this was the crowd
that besieged "Lote" and which he
thanked for it's trouble and
kind Intentions, explaining at the
same time that bis wife had burned
some rags during the afternoon and
that odorous remnants still fingered
upon the moonlight night.
