westmInster,s HIstorIe cemetery.

The new iron fence which has been in
process of erection at the old cemetery
for the past two weeks is now completed.
The granite posts or pillars for the main
entrance were furnished and placed in
position by Hiram King of Bellows Falls
and the iron work was furnished and
erected by the anchor Post Iron Works"
of New York. The whole was a gift to
the town by Henry A. Willard OF Wash
ington. Mr.. Willard has also given a
substantial sum of money, the income to
be used for the care and protection of the
lots of the parents and relatives of Mr..
and Mrs. Willard in the same cemetery.
The generosity and interest shown by
the donor in these gifts to his native
town is fully appreciated by everyone
and we hope there may be others who
will show a like generous interest in
their native town.-[Bellows Falls Times

1t is a striking fact that not one of
these Japanese is an American citizen.
Their business interests are growing
greater year by year; a few OF them are
even married to American women; they
love the delightful scenery of the New
England states; they are to all intents
and purposes, planning to remain indefi-
nitely in this country; and yet they are
living here as pilgrims and strangers,
looking upon the affairs Of this state as
alien to themselves and the inner princi-
Piles Of their lives. And why? Not so
much because these patriotic sons Of Nip
pom are reluctant to sever allegiance to
the Milxado, as because the law OF this
country denies them the right TO became
naturalized. Looked upon by their Amer
lean cousins as aliens, they also look upon
the Americans as strangers, save in busi-
ness dealings.-IK. X. Kawakami In the
New England Magazine for December.

The Artist Tailor.

From the American Tailor and Cutter.
\ irst-class journeyman tailor who Is
both sensitive and ambitious must have
more than his share OF sadness and heart
ache The completeness with which he is
ignored by those who are made happy by
his workmanship cannot fail to cause him
mental agony The bosses know him and
appreciate his work and so do his fellow
craftsmen; but that is all. Beyond them he
is unknown unthought Of His work goes
out into the world to delight and to be ad-
mirrd but It brings to him neither fame
nor praise. He Is no more thought of or
cons 'dered by those who wear with pride q
garment he made than the sheep is from
whose back the wool was sheared that
went to Its making.
The journeyman who makes a coat so
aItistically and well that he knows 1t will
probably be treasured as a thing of beauty
By The wearer and be admired by many
while he. the maker of 1t, will never be
thought of by them. must he thinks Of
IL feel his heart lead-heavy in his breast.
This Is mighty hard; but II is harder still
for him to see wherever he goes-in the
street, in hotels. at the theater and the
opera. at the races. everywhere-a coat or
an overcoat into which he has put his best
work worn proudly, and to feel that he Is
unknown to the wearer, that his identity
Is of no earthly interest to him, and that
neither to the wearer of the coat nor to his
friends who admire II the thought has ever
presented itself that II represents years of
practice and study. nice discrimination, del
tcate manipulation, and much more than a
modicum OF brains-all his; and that these
are more to the man who enjoys their
product than the man is who cured the to-
becco he smokes.
