Given IN Honor Of Mr.
and Mrs. Durham
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
Much Honor Shown This Couple Who
Have Done So Much For
the Lodge.

Ruth chapter Of the order Of the East
ern star, probably owes more to Mr.. and
Mrs. f. f Dunham than to anyone else.
for It is largely due to the untiring Ell
forts Of this couple that the chapter has
attained the remarkable growth and high
standing which it enjoys today. It is
therefore not at all strange that when
Mrs. Dnnham was elected Worthy Matson
Of the grand chapter Of Vermont at the
annual convocatIon held at St Johnsbury,
June s, the members of her home chapter
should feel a great pride over the high
honor conferred upon their much loved
past worthy matron.
Ii was due 10 this sentiment that mem
bers Of Ruth chapter got together few
days ago and elected committee to ar
range for a reception to be given to the
grand worthy matron and her husband,
district deputy grand worthy patron, +
+. Dnnham. This committee consisted Of
Mrs Wetmore, Mrs. James Cow, Mrs. O.
M. Wales, Mrs. Sheplee. Mrs Joseph
Murphy and Mrs Asa Harrington.
The reception was held last evening Id
Masonic hall and was attended by a large
number Of members including many from
Montpelier The members we're intro
dueed by Mrs. o g. Sheplee and Mrs. r.
H. Watkins and were received By Mrs
III. II. Wetmore, G.. w. NJ, Mrs. Dun
worthy matron, Mrs. L. r. Roberts and
worthy patron, }. r. Coutts.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
cut flowers aud p0tted plants and music
was furnished BY Mr.. and Mrs. Alva East
man. After the guests had All been re-
eeiFed Mr. Coutts called the assembly 10
order and In few well chosen words con-
! graduated the order upon its having
placed at its head one who has served
Ruth Chapter so efficiently and so faith
fully during the period Of i've years 10
which she was worthy matron In clos
ing he presented Mrs. Dunham with a
beautiful bouquet Of roses as token Of
the love the chapter has for her.
Mrs Dunham heartily thanked the
chapter and in closing said. May Heav-
EMS richest blessings be bestowed upon
you and may our star never cease 70 shine
The party then adjourned 81 the ban
queE hall where the coulsf9ttee had artistic
ally arranged q rsfrssament booth and
where dainty refreshments were served.
The Eastern Star Is an order Instituted
BY Robert Morris famous student Of
Masonry and was introduced into Yer-
monr in 1873 The Barre Chapter was
chartered Feb, %, 1893 with g charter
members. Mrs Durham was elected W.
NJ three years later and served for four
years. She again held the office In 1908
and the interest she and Mr. Durham have
taken In the work is largely responsible
for the fact that the chapter now numbers
over 100 members
Mrs Dnnham was elected Grand War
den Of the Grand Chapter at its meeting
In Barre In June, 1898, and serFed Ia the
various offices that lead up to the highest

Clever Little Sheep Dog Knows Just
How to Handle the Animals
in His Charge.

It was a beautiful morning in June,
on q North Dakota ranch. The family
had gathered around the breakfast ia
BILE, when mother came in and said that
Harvey would not be down, as he had
taken cold, and had some fever, and
therefore would not be able to 60 out
with his bunch of sheep.
Il am sorry to hear that" said I. Il
had intended going to town to-day to
get that new harness, so Jack could
break those bronchos, and get them
handy before the haying season, but !
can put that off until some other time,
and will take charge of Harvey's
sheep until he gets well"
So after breakfast l went out and
whistled for Fido, the little shepherd
dog, who came running up with sur
prised look on his face at such an I'M
usual call. But after had told him
that Harvey was not we'll this morning,
and he and l would have to look after
the sheep, he put his nose up to the
dinner pail to make sure that the din
ner was all right, and being told that
there was enough for us both, his face
frightened up and he turned and led the
way to the sheep sheds.
Arriving at the sheds I threw open
the wide doors, but the sheep seeing q
stranger before them, were timid; they
stood looking at me in wonder turned
