A Long Journey to Wed.

The Washington Post of March IA has
the following item concerning two people
in whom St. Johnsbury people and Others
OF our readers are interested:
A wedding journey of more than 5000
miles. but with the groom at the far end
OF the trip, was commenced from Ann.
apolis today. Miss Lucy Claude is the
brideelect, and Henry Grafton Fuller. a
past midshipman in Uncle Sans navy,
is the benedict be.
This morning Miss Claude was in
Annapolis, comparatively close by the
shores of the Atlantic, and Midshipman
Fuller was somewhere in the neig hbor-
hood of Magdalena Bay, on the Pacific
Coast, possibly experimenting the work
OF a gun crew of the United States cruiser
Colorado, which is one OF the fleet en-
gagged there in the regular spring target
practice. Some time within the next
few weeks the two will meet at Seattle.
Wash, and there be made one.
Miss Claude is making the Journey
alone, and upon arrival at Seattle will
be the guest of navy friends who are now
quartered in that city. Miss Claude,
who is an attractive blonde and prom.
inent member of the younger social set
at Annapolis and the Naval Academy. is
the daughter of DR.. w. Clement Claude,
one of the prominent physicians of Ann
apolis. Midshipman Fuller came origin.
ally from St. Johnsbury, VT, and was
one of the most popular men in the bri-
gade of midshipmen when at the Acad-
emy.

MiStOOk Medicine for Candy.

Gertrude, the two-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George F. Rice. came
near losing her life Friday afternoon as
the result of swallowing some tablets,
probably five or six, containing strych-
nine. The tablets belonged to teacher
who rooms at Mr.. Rices, and had been
very carefully hidden. Gertrude was left
alone in the room few minutes, but no
one noticed she had been in mischief
until half an hour later when she had a
severe convulsion. Two doctors worked
over her tor several hours, but not until
Saturday morning were they confident
that she would live. The family were
sure at first that she could not have
eaten anything poisonous, but a com
mon medicine envelope with the corner
chewed off by little teeth. which was
found in a teachers room, showed
what did the mischief. She must have
eaten several tablets. for the overdose of
poison was what saved her life.

An Old Sweetheart of Mine.

A fairly good audience greeted W. A.
Whitecar and his company in IAN Old
Sweetheart of Nine" at New Music
Hall, last week Tuesday evening. The
play is of the melodramatic order. the
scene being laid on a cattle ranch in
Texas. Trouble between COWBOYS and
Mexican 'greasers" PLAYS an important
part in the plot which centres around the
love of a cowboy for a girl back in the
east. The girl visits the ranch, finds her
old lover married to a Mexican and
complications ensue. w. A. Whitecar,
who takes the part of Dick Scott, the
cowboy with past, has played here be-
fore in The Mummy and the Hummng
Bird" and is well liked. OF the company
supporting him Daniel Roach as "Slim,"
his best friend, and Marguerite Ferrand
as Juanlta, Mexican girl, were by far
the best Roach is clever humorist and
at times his fun came as a great relief
from the high tension of the dramatic
scenes between Dick and his old sweet
heart, and his wife. Miss Ferrand is a
clever little actress and won more ap-
plause than anyone else in the company.
She portrayed the part of a Mexican
false to her own people because of her
loyalty to those who had treated her
kindly, perfectly, and made her audience
forget for minute the melo-drama of
the play. The scenic effects, especially in
the second act were feature of the play.

VermOnt'S Senior Senator.

An appreciative tribute to our senior
Senator appears in the Springfield Re
publican from its well-informed Washing
ton correspondent Richard Hooker, who
says:
Death not only removes old figures
from the Senate and brings forward
new ones, but it also changes the rela-
tive Importance of those who remain.
Senator Proctor's death raises Senator
Dillingham; OF Vermont into position of
greater influence as the senior senator
from that state. Senator Dillingham's
present term will expire next year, but
there seems to be no question whatever
of his reelection He first entered the
Senate in 1900 on being chosen to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Senator
Morrill,, and in 1902 he was elected for
the full term in which he is now serving
Senator Dillingham; is a man of unas-
Stunning traits. who has not sought the
spotlight. But he is held in high per-
sonal regard and is considered a man of
ability and sound judgment. AS chair
man of the immigration committee he
holds a position Of much importance
and is also member of the judiciary
committee, appointment to which is so
eagerly sought by the lawyers of the
Senate. His career as the senior senator
from Vermont should be worth watch

Proctor and "Cuba Lihre.

The death of Senator Proctor of Yer

visited Cuba and saw conditions for him.

very silent, reserved, Unconditional
man was Proctor. When he and Parker
stood by the rail of the little ferry boat
that takes spectators across the bay
from Havana to the Sunday bull6ghts,
and looked at the great battered hulk of
the Maine as they glided by it, Proctor
never moved muscle at the petty inso-
lence OF some of the little Spaniards who
ostentatiously came close and spat NAL
iciously at the wreck.
He saw all that was to be seen in and
about Havana and Matanzas. On his
return, there issued from that man SUD-

the enormous quarries that he owned,
such tale of the misery and wretched.

Take Your Choice.

Have you ever almost run into some
one on the street, and then lodged from
side to side for half a minute, vanly en-.
deavoring to pass, while the other person
by some strange fatality blocked your
every move by trying to pass you in the
same way?
Such was the recent experience of a
young man in Portland, Maine. He and
a strange young woman had been going
through this performance for sevel al
seconds, when his unwilling vis-a-vis
staggered him by saying:

The Hyde Park Savings Bank.

In the larger centers of trade the value
OF advertising is recognized to a much
greater extent than in the rural district:
and still advertising rightly done pays a.
well in one as the other. This is pretty
conclusively proven by the experience o
the Hyde Park Savings Bank which has
been conducting a vigorous advertising
campaign all through the state for the
past six months with the result that its
deposits have increased since July bv
nearly quarter of million dollars.
The advertising methods OF the HYDE
Park Bank have been the subject OF
some criticism in the state banking
circles, but Mr.. Page was evidently after
business and went after it in the same
way he has built up the largest hide
business in the world in little out Of the
way Hyde Park, by the liberal and
judicious use of printers ink.
OF course advertising has not done
1t all, for the people generally through
out the state have confidence in Pages
conservatism and business ability and are
pleased with the banks policy of keep
ing its loans all in Vermont to foster
Vermont enterprises and business.
The record of the bank in not having.
lost dollar by poor note its 10 years
of existence has undoubtedly been
another factor in securing this remark
able gain in business.
All these things have doubtless had
weight, but to get back to the value of

over the state have been made acquaint-
ed with them except through adver-

The Vermont Delegation to chicago.

The death of Senator Proctor, who
would undoubtedly have headed the YER
mont delegation at the Chicago conven-
ton, will probably result in devolving
that honor upon Senator Dillingham;.
At least, this would be the natural, and,
we may add, the wise and fitting action.
The other delegates at-large commonly
regarded as likely to be chosen are Con
gresham D. ]. Foster, Editor Frank l..
Greene and Attorney General c. c. Fits.
For district delegates, we hear Editor K.
w. McCuen and Hon. o. M. Barber men
toned in the First district, while on this
side Editor Arthur F. Stone and Gen. F,
G. Butterheld are named. If this slate
goes through, the Vermont press will be
extremely grati6ed by the choice of three
able representatives, and we are inclined
to think the party could not be served
better than by their choice. 1t appears
as if such delegation would be about
evenly divided. in personal preference,
between Taft and Hughes. This, accord
ing to present indication, seems fair
reflection of the feeling among the rank
and file of the party in Vermont RAN
