REUNITED AFTER 25 YEARS.
Carl w. Sanderson Found Sister at
Houston, Tex.

John Calvin Saturday received from
Carl W. SandeTson, who is at Houston,
Tex, word of the romantic reunion of
Mr.. Sanderson and his sister, Mrs.
Charles II. Jefts of Houston, who was
born in Milton, this state, 81 years ago.
The brother and sister had not seen
each other for % years.
One night last week Mrs. Jefts, who
is the wife of prominent contractor
was reading newspaper when she saw
an announcement that Carl w. Sander
son, a trick piano player, would appear
at the Majestic theater in Houston that
week. She knew of but one Carl w.
Sanderson, and that was her baby
brother, whom she named. She left
her home in Milton soon after her mar
riage and went south. Carl was then
four years old. Afterwards, their par
ents died and Carl was adopted by 9th
ers. He learned that he had a sister,
but neither never knew where the other
was until Mrs. Jefts, after reading
the announcement, sought and found
the young man, and their meeting was
affecting Next night, Mrs. Jefts at
tended the theater and saw her brother
do a humorous sketch, =.
Mr.. Sanderson formerly lived with
Mr.. Calvin He spent some time on a
ranch in Texas. served in the Spanish
war and afterwards went on the stage,
travelling with Quinlan & Wall s min
strels and then taking up vaudeville.

The Mummy and the Humming Bird.

A play, which by the interest of its
story, the logical sequence of its incl
dents, the dramatic possibilities of its
motive and the bright and trenchant
nature Of its dialogue, captures and
makes its own the sympathy of the audi
ence. needs no further reasons to ac-
count for its success as literary pro-
duction. When the characters of such
a play are embodied on the stage by
corps of representatives. thoroughly
competent to undertake their portrayal.
an artistic success must necessarily fol
low, and a performance that holds the
attraction and interest and excites adj
miration is bound to be the result. 1t is
claimed for The Mummy and the Hum
ming Bird, announced for presentation
at the auditorium next Thursday even
ing. that it is comedy gifted with all
these attributes, and that, as rendered
bv Jules Murry's own company, with
William A. Whitecar in the leading role.
its Interpretation is one that in point
of merit and artistic dramatic force is
not excelled by any attraction that will
be seen here this season. In every city
that this organization has visited the
popular verdict has endorsed and estab-
lished the claims made in its behalf,
and universal praise has been bestowed
upon play, company and production.

Judge Waterman on Supreme Bench.

At the request of Chief Judge John
w. .Rowell of the supreme court, Chief
Judge Seneca Haselton of the superior
court filed an order Saturday evening
with NJ. +. Smile, clerk of the supreme
court designating Judge Z. l.. Water
man of the superior court to sit on the
supreme bench during the term of SUI
preme court that convened Tuesday
The act which created the supreme and
superior courts contains a section which
provided that when for any reason
the chief Judge of the supreme court
shall desire to have Judge of the SUI
perior court sit on the supreme bench
he shall request the chief judge of the
superior court to designate one member
of the court to do so.
Some of the judges in the supreme
court are disqualified to sit in several
cases that are to be argued at the pres.
ent term and for that reason Chief
Judge Rowell issued request on Chief
Judge Haselton for an additional judge.
When all the cases which judges of
the supreme court heard in the county
court are disposed of in supreme court

the supreme bench for that reason VIII

WILL RAISE $3.50 BY MARCH /.
That Amount Needed by Local Y. M. Q.
A. to Start Year Unencumbered.

The directors of the Young Men S
Christian association held on Thursday
evening one of their most interesting
meetings in recent years and talked
over various matters, including finances
aud the need of an association building,
SAYS the local correspondent OF the
Springfield Republican in his letter OF
last Saturday. State Secretary Louis
Heb of Burlington met the directors
together for the first time and had sup.
per with them mt q o clock, The direc.
tors, General Secretary Cunningham
and the Woman's auxiliary will under
take to raise before March | $3.50 in
addition to $3.50 already pledged, which
will enable the association to begin the
coming year entirely free from debt. OF
this amount the auxiliary has promised
to pay 800 and possibly an additional
500 out of it's treasury. Secretary Gun.
ningham believes he can raise 500
from former contributors who have not
contributed the past year, leaving S2Ou
To be raised by the directors. Last year
enough money was raised to pay current
expenses and pledges were secured TO
liquidate the debt Of 800 and interest
which had accrued and also TO pay a
deficit OF $3.50 from the star course of
entertainments for the season OF 1000
06. The association never had a more
generous supporter, financially or other
wise, than the late Gen. Julius j. Estey.
He was the largest contributor, and az.
ter his death il was some time before
the association was able TO close its
financia. year without a deficit.
At the meeting Thursday night
State Secretary Heb placed much en-
phasis upon the need of an association
building, presenting the matter IN a
way that appealed to the directors with
unusual forcefuness. He believed a
building would solve the financial
problem because il would make the
work more prominent in the community
and would give it permaneney and Dig
nifty besides broadening its scope. lie
said it would attract men in larger
numbers. would enable the association
to carry larger budget and would re.
suit in increased contributions which
would permit the carrying on of edu-
cational work which the association
ought to be doing, besides being more
of center for Christian influences. H.

general secretary in securing speakers

A THUNDERBOLT STORY
Manchester, N. H., Union Tells About
DR., walker Meaning Wilson.

The Observant Citizen is indebted to
George Bush of Manchester for pretty
little story of old Vermont schooldays
and the loan of picture that shows a
romantic spot in the old Green Mountain
state. 1t is picture of the so-ca He'd
round schoolhouse at Brookline, Vt,;
that was built. in 1922, and taught by
'Thunderbolt, the celebrated highway
man. The photograph was made by
Alice Perham of Cambridgeport, VT
and the photograph was sent to Mr.,
Bush of this city, particularly because
Mr.. Bush s grandparents came from the
vicinity of Brookline, Vt, and got their
early education at ''the round school
house" -,
The story of the Ground schoolhouse -
NAV or may not be all true. Most of 1t
probably is true. In the early days of
the last century, two highwaymen ter.

Iightfoot and the other Thnnderbolt,
Their depredations were committed first
in one place and then in another, per-
haps a considerable distance away from
the scene of the previous robbery. Final

his crime, and was hanged, but Thunder

" DIR. Walker" and for those days, he
appeared to be skilled sort of doc
tor. He was eccentric, and one of his
uueer habits was to wear an overcoat
and heavy muller, winter and summer.
He was keen-eyed and mentally bright.
No stranger ever came to Brattleboro,
but DR.. Walker quickly found out who
he was and what was his business.
The residents of Brokline decided
they wanted a schoolhouse and school
master. Brookline is not very far from
Brattleboro, VT, and DR.. Walker de-
cided that the business of being doctor
was not so remunerative as that OF a
country schoomaster, and he applied
for the position The Brookline people
accepted, and thereupon DR.. Walker
moved up to Brookline and designed

No one can be happy. light hearted and
healthy with body full of blood that
of its impurity; therefore, the first and
most important work in hand is to purr..
fly the blood so that every organ will

of the solid extract of sarsaparilla blend.
ed with two grains of combination OF
pure and mild vegetable products, max
ing it blood purifier unexcelled in char
