Billy explained to Dick that he might
count himself very lucky. Moreover.
he was a selfish, unthankful old man.

Bryan. left the lighthousing and -
married Vida himself.
Whereupon Dick Finnan pointed out
that having endowed Vida with his

such connection was clearly impos-
sible according to the tables which he
would find at the beginning of the
Bible, as we'll as forbidden by the
laws of the country.
Besides" Dick added pointedly,
do We really think now, Billy that
the young lass would take up with a
scrawny old salt herring like you?"
Billy scratched his head for min
ute, first on one side and then on the
other, and looked sorrowful. But he
did not give way.
There may be something in what
you say as to the law" he retorted,
"but as to your suggestion that she
wouldn't have me because of my per-
sonal appearance, scorn 1t! Never
a woman yit that asked to marry me
that ever refused me-"
Then take good care not to ask
any at all" said old Dick. picking up
his candle and shu ing off up stirs.

A Progressive Savings Institution

The Montpelier Argus in comment
ing on the fact that the assets of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank have reached
the milion-dollar mark has the follow
ing to say:
The assets of the I.amolle County
Savings Bank and Trust Company, the
progressive institution fostered by ex-
Gov. Carroll S. Page, and remarkable
monument to his ability and sagacity,
have passed the million-dollar mark.
This is an especially noteworthy occur
renee, when the limitations of population
etc, of the territory from which the
bank draws its patronage is taken into
consideration, and would only be possible
with the most judicious management
1t is noteworthy also that every cent of
the million dollars is invested in Ver-
mont, "to foster Vermont industries and
develop Vermont enterprises" The
institution and its astate president are

Tree Planting In Southern California.

Tree Planting In Southern California.
There has developed throughout
southern California renewed interest
in the planting of eucalyptus trees for
commercial purposes. says the Los An
geles Times. 1t is said by those who
have kept in close touch with the stu
alton that several million young trees
will be planted during the ensuing
year. George B. Southland of River
side declares that within a very few
years this timber industry will be
quite as important as the raising Of
citrous fruits. Mr.. Southland will plant
100000 young trees next spring. These
VIII be sugar, red and blue gums, vari-
eties suitable for fuel, telegraph poles
and railroad ties. A section of the
Blxby ranch, between Los Angeles and
Long Beach, has been set to gum trees
during the last season and a part OF
the Alamitos ranch, owned by J. Ross
Clark, is being prepared for tree set
ting while from many parts of south
ern California come reports of the
planting Of groves on more or less
extensive scale.

IN the county which contains AN organ
lzed Sunday School being represented,
excepting East Haven. CRANKY aud Vic
tory. Most OF the delegates arrived on
the regular trains east and west, reach
ing Concord station at o'clock, After
greeting, had been exchanged, the con-
yeutiou was called to order Toy Supt. j.
X. lIoyey, ut Concord, who presided on
account OF the enforced absence OF the
president of the association, Rev. c. W.
Kelley. and latter singing, Miss Sadie
King, Elementary Superintendent, con
Quoted an open conference on the Ele
meutary Department, which was quite
generally participated in, and furnished
valuable suggestions to all engaged III
the work of these grades.
The treasurer next reported, showing
Il balance in the treasury of some $50,
after oyrrpaying - the $50 pledged
to the state work 10y the county associa-
tIon, and paying - current expenses.
An open conference on theCounty as
ISOLATION was then commenced 10y Rev
Grant J.. Van Barcom the pastor of
the UuiversaiI>t church at Concord, who
said that his residence in the county
had not heeu long enough to enable him
to unde,st fully the needs of the
Essex County Association, but that he
had been member OF other organiza-
lions and that the purpose of all was
the same and that We must keep in
mind that the main purpose was the re-
iiglous training of the children; that
we might say what we pleased about
adults needing the Sunday School, the
fact remained that Its main object was
the spiritual welfare of the children,
and our meeting together was designed
to tit us for better accomplishing that
work He then alluded to the difficulties
III getting from one part Of the county
to another and at the suggestion of
general secretary Fuller discussion was
precipitated as to the desirabiity of dis
solving or dividing the Essex County
Sunday School Association on account
Of the hardshipS in getting from the
northern to the southern part of the
county, vice versa, and the consequent
difficulties i'll getting full representa-
ton from all the schools to attend the
county conventions. Finally commit
tee consisting of Rev. A. b. Enright, H..
". Blake and Mrs Florence NJ. Dodge
was elected to investigate the advisable
| ty Of disSolving the association and to
report at a later time.
Miss Edith Balch, State Home De-
partment secretary, next conducted an
open conference on the Home Depart
ment, and showed how largely the mem
bership Of the Sunday Schools in Essex
county had been increased in the last
three years by enrolment in the Home
Department. She suggested that if it
should occur to any one that it would be
better to have these persons in the regu-
lar Sunday Schools they should remem-
Der that these schools had had the OPP
portunity for years to enlist them and
failed.
