Value OF a Newspaper.

| never took a paper that didn't t
pay me more than paid for it..
One time an old friend Of mine
started a paper way down South
and sent me copy. | subscribed
just to encourage him, and after
awhile it published an order to
sell lot at public auction. So |
inquired about the lot and told a
friend to run it up TO $50. He
bid off the lot at S38 and it sold
in less than a month for S100, so
| made S62 clear by taking that
paper. My father told me that
when he was a young man he saw
a notice in a paper that school
teacher was wanted away off in a
distant county, and he went and
got the situation. A little girl
was sent to him, and after a while
she grew up sweet and beautiful
and he married her. Now if he
had not taken that paper what do
you suppose would have become
of me? | would have been some
other fellow, or maybe wouldn't
have been at all,-Bill Arp,

The Town Caucus.

The caucus to nominate officers for the
March meeting will be held in the Town
Hall Saturday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
Every citizen of St. Johnsbury should
endeavor to be present on this occasion
as under our Australian system the
caucus nominees are generally elected at
the meeting which follows. II any states
have been made up the promoters have
been very quiet about it and we do not
anticipate much OF anv change from the
present board OF officers. Harry ID.
Carr will not be candidate for select
man and the names of both Frank n.
Carr and Charles B. Carr have been sug
gested for this board. We have heard no
opposition to the other officers and no
candidates mentioned to be nominated
in their place. The term of Mrs. Elisha
May of the school board expires this
spring and we hope to see her nominated
and elected to succeed herself. She has
served the town faithfully for six years
and brought to that service ripe ex-
perience in educational affairs. In fact
she has been one of the most active and
efficient members of the various boards
with which she has served.

The Apollo Quartet.

The last entertainment in the Epworth
League Entertainment Course was
given last week Tuesday night and was
a concert by The Apollo Quartet of
Boston. They gave an excellent pro-
gram, which was received with unusual
enthusiasm. Fred E. Kendall, baritone
and humerist, is an old favorite here and
was continuously recalled. His selec-
tons were all interesting and as the
temperature in the hall was quite low,
were Just what was needed to make the
audience forget that they were uncom.
Portable and thoroughly enjoy them
selves. The Quartet, solo and duet
selections we're all finely executed and
the participants would all be welcomed
here, should they return.
The net results Of the seasons course
are about 500, which with the increased
expense for talent, over former years. is
very gratifying. The society is deeply
indebted to Z. II. Turner, whose interest
in their welfare has provided these
entertainments for the people of ST.
Johnsbury, all of which have been well
patronzed

Sold Hy0Mei for Years and Know il will
Cure CaIarrh.
w. B. Eastman has given Hyomei a
most thorough and remarkable test.
For long time he has offered to refund
he money to any purchaser of Hyomei,
il it failed to benefit.
The remedy has made so many cures
among his customers that W. B. East
man has urged its use in the most chron-
ic cases of catarrh.
Breathed for few minutes four time
a day, through the inhaler that comes
with every outfit, it soothes the irritated
mucous membrane of the nose, throat
and lungs, kills the catarrhal germs, anc
restores complete health.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only
! 81, and consists of an inhaler that can b.
carried in the pocket or purse, and will
last a lifetime, a medicine dropper
and bottle of Hyomei. If this Is
not sufficient for a complete cure. ad
ditional bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.
Compare this small expense with tn,
fees charged by specialists, and remem
Der, too, if Hyomei does not cure, W. B
Eastman will return your money.

The committee of the Y. NJ. {. A. course
have given us some excellent entertain
ments this season and are about to
crown their efforts with one of the best
concerts which St. Johnsbury has ever
enjoyed. The Schubert Male Quartette
Of Boston alone should draw a crowded
house and the announcement that Miss
Rosa Weidhorn, the violinist, will appear
with the quartette assures our people a
rich musical feast. This entertainment
is the best Of its kind that can be obtain
ed in New England. There is no other
quartette before the public today that
can excel the Schuberts IN individual ex-
cellence as soloists or in perfection of
tone blending in ensemble work. St.
Johnsbury people take special interest
in this company as the basso in the quar-
tette is DR.. George X. Clark, St. johns.
bury boy who is today the leading bass
singer in New England.
Miss Weidhorn was engaged in res.
ponse to popular demand. No lady vic.
linist ever played here who could COM
pare with this talented artist. The date
is Washington's birthday.
