The Get-Together Habit.
(LyndonvilIe Journal

The get-together habit has reached
Brattleboro. Business men OF that place
to the number of rs got together few
nights ago for a friendly talk in regard
to the business affairs of the community.
Business gatherings of this kind may not
bring immediate results as far as lncreas-
ing the towns business is concerned, but
if the gatherings are continued the results
will certainly be beneficial in keeping the
community alive as to what is for its
best good, and when an opportunity does
come for securing a new industry the
business men will be ready and alert to
make the most of the opportunity.

PLAYS may come and plays may go,
but as long as there are children on
this earth Uncle Toms Cabin will con
tinue to enjoy prosperity, particularly
when its production includes street
parade. And nowadays no Uncle Tom
troupe is complete without all the par
aphernalia requisite for making such a
display. A glance at Main street We'd
nesday noon was sufficient to put to
rout any half formed theory about race
suicide that might have been lurking
in the mind of anyone. Such a crowd
of children of all ages, sizes and de-
scription could be collected by no less
an attraction than genuine Uncle
Tom parade. The youngsters gathered
in front of the town hall expecting the
parade to start from that point but
were told that the line of march would
begin near the station. ms was all
that was needed to send them down
Main street en- masse and the way they
rushed headlong through Brattleboro s
principal thoroughfare reminded The
Meddler of the story of the Pied Piper
of Hamlin. The parade could not
have helped meeting the children ex-
pectations. 1t contained very brassy
brass band, several bloodhounds that
were not bloodhounds at all, Little Eva
in a pony barouche, Marks astrlde a
donkey and other features too numer-
Gus to mention. OF course every child
who saw this display was crazy to see
the show and the requests that poured
in upon the teachers in the various
grades for permission to get out early
were numberless. Some of the school
ma 'ams were undoubtedly annoyed at
this break in the routine, but they
should remember that no child's edu-
cation is complete until he has seen
Uncle Tom Cabin.

Not long ago a West Brattleboro
man was asked to "pass the plate" in
the absence Of the regular official.
This man realized fully the response
bilities that went with the task and
they impressed him so profoundly
that he was not quite himself when
he began. In fact, he was almost half
way down the aisle before he realized
that the box which he was holding out
was upside down, and the strange part
of the story is that when the poor
man suddenly came to his senses and
righted the box not single coin of
any kind fell to the floor.

1t takes a man of considerable self
possession to do good job at passing
the contribution box. He is the cyno-
sure of all eyes as he strides from his
pew to the front of the church to get
the receptacle in which the Offering is
placed, and when he actually begins
taking the collection it is imperative
that he wear a look of utmost uncon-
eern. He must apparently be oblivious
TO the reception which the box is meet
ing from the various members of the
congregation, and yet he must be con-
tinually on the alert lest he linger too
long in front of the Deacon Tightfst,
who has inadvertently left all his small
change in his other trousers as he al
WAYS does on Sunday, He can, If he
wants to. do a kindness to poor Widow
Threadbare, who hasn't penny IN the
world to give the heathen or anyone
else, by accelerating ever so slightly
the speed of the box as it passes in
front of her tear-stained eyes. And
he is by no means competent unless he
can tell at a glance whether the club
by fist of young Master Roguish con.
tains a penny or button. Thus 1t
NAV be seen that the job of passing
the contribution plate is by no means
a task to be taken lightly.
