ENTERTAINED
RUTLAND MEASUREMENTS
BANQUET STATE PRESS.
Entertained last Saturday
Evening in the Marble

SIty.
The banquet and reunion of news
papermen held at the Berwick in Rut-
land Saturday evening was an occasion
designed for merriment and good-fellow-
ship only. Forty or more members of
the Vermont press gathered in the Mar
bic City at the solicitation of COM
mittee of newspaper workers in that
city and partook of banquet, listened
to speeches and were entertained by the
Rutland men in a way that left only
pleasant "reminiscences.
Upon the arrival of all incoming trains
the reception committee executed flank
movement and gathered in everything
that looked at all like newspaper
worker and escorting them to an electric
car transported their prisoners to the
hospitable home of Editor G. T. Fair
field of the Rutland Evening News
where, under the chaperonage of Bust
ness manager F. T.. Parsons of the Rut-
land Herald, they We're presented to the
host who in manner that was in no.
wise uncertain proceeded to the third
degree work Immediately. If the ban
qnet and after eating performers were
to be eulogized then certainly it would
require the hand of a master to indite
an encomium to the hospitality of Editor
Fairfield. His was an "open house" and
his brethen of the press had everything
their own way.
The banquet which was sumptuous
affair was served at $3.50 o'clock and was
followed by post prandial exercises.
Business Manager F. E. Parsons of the
Rutland Herald presided as POSTMASTER.
The principal addresses were delivered by
John b. Shale, president of the Publishers
Press association and Edward J. Bowen
of Philadelphia. President Shale gave an
interesting discourse on the gathering
and dissemination of news, emphasizing
as the three cardinal points, accuracy,
promptness and brevity. Mr.. Bowen gave
bright speech in which he paid tribute
to the part played by the press in bring
ing about change in municipal affairs
in Philadelphia.
Others who spoke were w. C. Belknap
of the Bellows Falls Times, F. II. Kim
ball of Bellows Falls, H. L. Hndley of
the Ludlow Tribune, NJ. w. Wilson of
the Bristol Herald, City Editor f. l..
Cowles, G. NJ. Goddard and j. II. Kel-
lette of the Rutland Herald and C. 2.
/ Harris of the Rutland News.
Through the courtesy of SIayor j. F.

attendance upon the banquet, every
newspaper man was presented with a
marble paper weight made by the Co
lumbar Marble company.

More of the Right Sort.

"There is a cry from Texas for
''good, sound, energetic and in
dustrious workers to come into
the Southern States" and there
is not a disposition to keep out
the oppressed" from other coun-
tries. Coming at a time when
there is something in the nature
of a movement to remove restrc-
tons from Oriental emigrants,
this call for help may be constru-
ed as a willingness to accept
Cinnamon for laborers. There
are many negroes in Texas and
other states, but the inference
is at least insinuated that they
do not meet the demands of la
borers. The high idealist, though
they should not be asked to abeat
their zeal for universal knowl-
edge. will have to admit that cit
izenship and education do not
necessarily go hand in hand with
ode shuble an de hoe" If Tex
can get good, sound, energetic

ers who are willing to put their
hands where they are needed,
and who will stay out of the cit
les, the eXclusionists should be
willing to let down the bars a lit
tie; but we apprehend that the

supplied with laundries and chop
suey houses. Gin. Enquirer.

Tribute To kentucky Women.

Editor Gore, Of the Springfield Sun,
delivers this tribute to Kentucky wom-
en-. Kentucky women have been rec
ognized the world over as the prettiest
creatures ever fashioned by the hand
of God. Twill ever be thus, because
they love Kentucky and Kentucky
worships them. Did you ever see the
picture of an angel with her head rest
ing on bed of lilies? There's inspi-
ration in a picture of that sort. But
lawsy when it comes to beauty
beauty that makes your heart wallop
UP and down your back and causes you
to go way off somewhere, and write
poetry, Kentucky beauty has got the
world skinned from its toe nails to the
North pole, and the man who says she
amt lacks information.
Figure it out on rose leaf and write
it with the dew of the lilly, that no
where under the blue dome is there a
creature half SO pretty as a Kentucky
woman. She's prettier than an even
ing star in the shadow of a Summer
sunset, more inspiring than thousand
songs and as bewitching as fawns tan
gled in the vines of a wilderness of
roses. She's our hope, our romance,
vine and fig, tree, the light which en-
ables us to see million miles beyond
the North STIR.

Luck is crystalized pluck.
Most people are sorry only af-

For every mean man that dies
at least two more are born.
A fortune awaits the genius

Every girl imagines she would

last Monday, took breakfast at
Ida's, dinner at Cousin Monte Do
honey's, she joined me and we
took. supper at Gradyville. The
next day met at Luther Grady's,
the Grady relatives, from Texas,
and such a reunion I had never
seen before. We had dinner be-
yond description. The picture of
the group were Of Uncle Thomas,
Aunt Permilia, DR.. Grady, Uncle
Charlie Yates, Luther and Don
Grady and their Texas kin, Mrs.

At Uncle Charley Yates that
night we had supper, and only
you that know Aunt Harriet and
Cousin Ella can realize what sup
per means in their home. Next
day we moved over to Aunt NAL
Uses, on Eastfork, the only Aunt
we have on the Yates side. When
we arrived at her home / would
say she shouted, but l don't like
to tell on her. Mrs. Boston, her
adopted daughter, had already
prepared dinner, enough for three
such crowds, but as we stayed a
day and night we made good use
of it. The next day at Polly Yates
Gupton's, we had a Yates reun-
ion, and every child Of Grand Fa-
Their Yates was represented there
by a child or children, even TWEEN
ty in all. Several left there
sick on account of eating too
much, their stomachs could not
stand the pressure, not being ac-
customed to such living. The
next day we moved on to Burt
Boston's and Sulphur Well. Mrs.
Boston's dinner beat them all
and we gave her the blue tie.
And at Sulphur Well, when we
had drank deep of that fine wa
ter, the finest on earth, there
came the time to say goodbye
sad, sad words. 1t seemed that
Barren river itself rippled slowly
and sadly by, almost W ii h a
moan, as we said goodbye some
to go East and some West, it be-
ing fully understood that we
would not, all OF us, ever meet
again. Only for those good-byes,
it would have been the greatest
week of my life with my kinfolk.

words from a Kentuckian of Kan
sas, l shall in a measure try to
redeem the promise to write a
few lines for your valuable paper.
Kansas seems to be in a pros
porous condition and her citizens
are in high spirits in consequence
of the fine prospect of an abund-
ant crop. Wheat is harvested
and is being threshed; the grain
is excellent. Corn has been well
cultivated and is looking well. 1t
has been rather dry in this part
of the State, so that gardens
have suffered some, but we had
good rains last night and to-day.
The second crop of alfalfa has
been nicely saved and these rains
will insure the third crop, which
will be ready to cut in about four
weeks.
l went down to the Chataqua,
at Winfield, last Saturday and
returned on Monday, accompan-
led by my daughter, Lena. The

While there heard excellent ad-
dresses by Governor La Toilette,

of New York, Sam Jones and
others. People from all over the
country were camping in tents
and having a good time gener-
ally. All along l found the crops
looking very fine. Tuesday morn

whittier my daughter, Katherine,

ed. On examination the Doctor
found that her ears would have
to be operated on in order to
successfully treat them. On
Wednesday morning the opera
tons was very successfully per-
formed and Thursday morning
when I left, Katherine was get
ting along very nicely at Stor-
mont Hospital, where she will
remain a week, after which she
will be with the family of Mr..
Neiswinter, and will make visits
daily to the Dr.'s for perhaps six
weeks ere she can come home.
