ELLSWORTH REUNION.
Third Annual in Boston, Another Big
Success.
tBy Charles e. Bellatty.J


The Ellsworth reunion association held
its third annual meeting in Paul Revere
hall, Mechanics building, Boston, on Tues
day evening, Feb. Is, and scored another
brilliant success. 1t is hard to believe
that the founders OF the association ever
dreamed Of more soul-satisfying out
come Of their plans and labor than they
had in this third reunion.
To Be sure the large number who
attended were not all talking about Els
worth and good times there. No, indeed,
the whole of Hancock county was repre-
sented; but it was 30 largely an Ellsworth
gathering that all praise for it goes unan-
imously to the officers OF the Ellsworth
association and their committee of
arrangements.
And right here is good time to say
that the aforesaid officers and committee
were a. follows: Mrs. William P. Cough,
president; Mrs. Charles E. Billiard, vice.
president; Mrs. Robert Leighton, treas
urer; Mrs. R. NJ. Palmer, secretary; and
Messrs. Stetson Foster, chairman, Fred
erick A. Davis, M. D., James A. Davis, D..
e. bHoWHa NJ ~, anu udrtlH l.. AUalnS.
committee of arrangements.
An even greater socia bility character
lied this meeting than was SO noticeabiy
the great feature of the previous reunions.
There was a more evident general COM
mingling. The small groups of gentlemen
in the halls and the smoking rooms were
fewer. Everybody seemed to be getting
better acquainted, to be feeling at home in
the big ball room. The evening was
gloriously seasonable one, bright with
moonlight, and the attendance was large.
By actual count al tickets were used;
many more tickets were sold. In several
instances the illness OF one member
kept a whole family away from the
reunion. With such favorable weather
conditions as blessed the night of the
reunion this year, it is safe to-. predict
that mex. year will see gathering of not
less than 500 former residents of Hancock
county.
No, there wasn't any business meeting

1t is SO easy to criticize things about
which the critic knows nothing.
Take, for instance, Peruna. There are
plenty Of people who are willing to say
Peruna Is this and that, who never have
tasted Peruna, and have never known
anything about its effects upon the
human system.
There are people who say, and proba-

the occasion with the greatest enjoyment.
Here was Charles Curtis talking with q
cousin whom he hadn't seen for twenty
years, and meeting friends Of his boyhood
whose handshakes he might never have
felt again il he had gone to Ellsworth the
night before as he had intended. Fortu-
nately he had been prevailed upon to stay
for the reunion.
Here was George Woodward Just back
from trip through the West which he
hates worse than p'ixen. Ever hear
George tell about sitting all alone one
Thanksgiving afternoon in . Chicago
theatre 1t Q performance Of ashore Acres
with James A. Herne playing Uncle Nat
Berry, of Lamoine, and telling about gcin'
up to Ellsworth and buying things for the
Christmas stockings? Wouldn't that
make you appreciate an Ellsworth re-
union? Well George looked happy, and
90 did E. w. Lord.
This was Hr. Lords first chance to
attend one of these reunions. He had been
in Porto Rico during the previous two
winters. This was his opportunity to
not seen for years. His wife and little son
and his mother were with Mr.. Lord, and
they all received q glorious welcome
especially from members OF Mr.. Lord 3
class at the Ellsworth high school.
This class, 1891, had six representatives
at the reunion, probably more than any
other high school class which graduated
nearly as many years ago.
1t is inevitable that there are faces miss
ing from the gatherings year by year. But
IT is also to be remembered that there are
new faces to be seen at each reunion. II
is reasonable to believe that all will
attend the next reunion who wei can
do so.

At business meeting 81 the association
last evening, the following officers were
elected: Reunion officers, Mrs. Evelyn

treasurer; Charles E. Bellatty, secretary.

of any sort connected with this third re-
union. The committee in charge didn't
have the heart to call halt to the fes-
tivity even long enough to elect officers
and arrange things for next year. One
look around the big ball room answered
the question as to whether or not to con-
tinue the annual reunions-if such ques-
ton, by any possibility, had entered the
mind Of any person there-and it would
be pessimist indeed who could imagine
that any board Of officers could undo next
year the work 20 ably performed by the
officers and committees in charge of the
previous reunions.
Just - there was no business meeting,
so there were no set speeches, no enter
no place for professional entertainers was
quickly discovered before the first reunion
was really underway. Music there was,
and the orchestra was Of q size in keeping
with the big hall. But nobody listened to
The music. 1t was useful for the march
" out to partake OF the ices and cakes
| in the dining room, and the dancers got q
lot of enjoyment from the Woodworking
musicians. But there was sweeter music
in the voices Of friends.
The writer cannot recall selection that
| the orchestra played. All through the
evening there constantly revolved in his
mind the refrain Of song he heard Will
Dillon sing at the Orpheum theatre u
month ago: 'We'1e here because we're
here, because we're HERE, because we're
HERE!"
A reporter from the Herald dropped in
to see what was causing such stir on
Huntington avenue after curfew, stayed
five minutes, and told away the whole
story in paragraph next morning.
'They were like one big, happy family
everybody knew everybody else. There was
dancing, and later ices and cake, but better
than everything else the whole evening long
was the joyful spirit of eomradeship of mine
own people" which laughed out OF every
body's eyes and sounded from everybody's
lips
The only way to realize the glorious en-
joyment to be obtained from one of these
reunions is by attending one, by becoming
part OF it yourself. There never is any
thing like it in Ellsworth, there never has
been anything like it. Here all meet on
nearer common footing than would be
the case if the reunion were held in Els
worth. Up here in Paul Revere hall each
one OF us is host or hostess, every body is
receiving, the gathering is joyously
informal. We all feel that it's nobody's
fault but our own il we fail to share in the
delights Of the evening.
The committee in charge know from
experience that no formalities will be
demanded Of them, and so they exercise q
general supervision over the arrange
ments, help US find one another in the
gathering, and show by their countenances
that for this evening, above all others.
they will be members OF the Don't Worry
Club.
In such happy social gathering it is
not easy to say who will look back upon
