Court 6avl and Masquerade.

Court Ball and Masquerade.
A social affair of more than ordinary
interest is promised in the Grand Court
ball and masquerade to be given by the
Sanatorium Aid society in Dubois &
Gays hall Friday night, Feb. Z. In its
previous efforts, the society has planned
and carried out very delightful masquer-
AIDES, but in this event bids fair to eclipse
its former achievements.
Republican eyes are to be dazzled by a
brilliant court scene with king and queen
in regal splendor, attended by polished
courtiers, brave knights, danes of high
degree, pages, testers and all the haute
noblesse that scintillates in the effulgent
light of a throne. With the proverbial
cat, one may gaze unabashed at royalty,
and, strong in the principles of the Dec
laration of Independence regarding the
equality of mankind, can draw near to
discuss the weather and prevalence Of
grip with the naughty lords and ladies OF
the court. For one brief evening the un-
titled public can mingle in high life, rub
shoulders with the aristocracy and OBJ
serve how crowns and coronets are worn.
An opening concert program of limited
length will be given by the Music hall
orchestra at O'Clock, ending in burst
of music to gre the crowd of masquer-
aders preceding the entrance of the court.
The disguised and variously costumed
company will then move with kaleido-
scopic effect through the grand march
and four dance figures before the general
unmasking reveals individual identities
and the bali proper begins.
In the Masonic anterooms, ice cream
and cake will be served during the even
ing at any time after the court scene, and
there will be continual amusement for
spectators as well as dancers throughout
the affair.
The proceeds are to be devoted to the
support of free bed at the sanatorium
for the use of the deserving poor, and a
more worih by object for public appeal it
would be hard to find.

little journey of 3s miles from Barre
to Randolph Saturday night killed about
eleven hours of time for w. w. Sprague,
and brought him home at 5 O'Clock
Sunday morning in a truly pious frame
of mind, patience having had plenty Of
opportunity to do her perfect work.
1t had been Mr.. Sprague's original in
tention to arrive by the 7:20 evening
train. Between Barre and Williams
town, however, the engine broke down
and gave the passengers a chance to be-
come thoroughly familiar with the
landscape in that vicinity during the
two hours it took to tinker the rolling
stock of the road into a rolling condi-
ton. At last the wheels began to re-
volve again, and hope that springs
eternal in the human breast caused the
travellers spirits to rise, as the telegraph
poles resumed fairly respectable race
past the car windows; though the pace
was not so swift as to forbid accurate
count of the line of sticks or to give
blurred impression of the scenery.
All went well until bump chu9 =
and the train was at another standstill.
This time the breakdown was between
Barre and Montpelier, with the engine
wheeling dismally over the loss OF bolts
and nuts scattered along the track until
further locomotion was impossible.
Torches were lighted and search insti-
tuted for enough missing pins and things
to hold the old concern together for
another squirt of speed, but the hunt and
repairs being likely to consume an hour
or two at least, some of the passengers,
with Mr.. Sprague among them,
walked half a mile to strike the electrics.
They were successful in finding a car
that took them to Montpelier; there to
receive the cheerful Intelligence that the
evening train over the main line had de-
cided not to wait for the Barre train and
had gone on its way rejoicing, leaving
the foot weary, travel worn victims of
the railroads little joke to exchange
reflections on the subject of rapid transit.
couched in terms that ought to have
made the walls of the brick depot redden.
Mr.. Sprsgue concluded he mad been in
too much of a hurry and determined to
proceed homeward more deliberately by
the night express, scheduled to make
Randolph at a. m. The hours dragged
by at the quiet capital until the monot-
ony was agreeably relieved by news of
the express being two hours late. At
Montpelier Junction the rumor was con-
firmed with the period of lateness ex-
tended another half hour, and to the
already great discomfort OF Mr.. Sprague's
mind was added the harrassing fear that
he might after all his struggles be late to
Sunday school. Still fortune did not en-
tirely desert him, and he did finally get
home in time for breakfast.

rwenty-Hnh Anniversary.


Saturday, Feb. 1, marks the completion
OF quarter of century OF mercantile
life in Randolph for e. A. Thomas,
whose business anniversary is not only
matter of personal satisfaction but of
public congratulation to the village
which has benefited so largely through
the progressive management of his store.
In the five and twenty years just past,
Randolph has shown q wideawake alert
ness to the trend of affairs in the dry
goods world, and the latest conceits of
fashion in the big cities have not been al
lowed to travel by stage coach to the
counters of its stores. Visits to market
have not been momentous travels of an
nual occurrence but frequent trips by
merchants in search of fresh materials to
replace goods they do not keep long enough
on their shelves to become so attached to
them that parting with q web of cotton
or roll of batten is painful separation.
As result, this place has grown to be
the trading center OF large territory
that acknowledges Thomas store to be
magnet of no small attraction.
In 'S4, a fire that proved blessing in
disguise, laid the wooden blocks on the
west side of the square in ashes and
destroyed the building in which this
store was housed, but the next year saw
it spaciously located in the brick block to
which ever since the feet of shoppers
have been led by wares which confute
the cynical notion that beauty and good
ness are seldom joined. "Homely
enough to be good' has never here been
a trade precept in selection of stock, but
rather "elegance and excellence are to be
sought together"
The home of the store has lately come
into the possession OF its proprietor, and
in these familiar quarters may prosperity
continue to reign to the golden jubilee.

Fleda, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles j. White, after years illness
from complication of diseases, is now
so much better that she is able to be
dressed and about the house. She was
taken in December of 1906 with violent
hiccoughing, nausea and great distress of
the stomach, and the attack was followed
by cerebro-spinaI meningitis, from which
she partially recovered, only to suffer
relapse that left her with chronic
in the stomach, and the frequent gather
ing and breaking of assesses, with con-
slant distress and nausea, made it imposs
IDLE for scarcely any food to be retained.
This painful condition continued for
nearly year in spite of every effort made
for her relief, but in the last few weeks
she has gained steadily under the treat
ment of DR.. H. B. Esmond of Bethel,
to whose home she went the Esd

How TO Cure
Your Piles

IF sufferers from piles and rectal dis
eases would first try reliable laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin instead
of using external salves and suppose
tories, or having an operation performed,
they would save themselves world of
trouble, expense and pain. The reason
is that in nine cases out of ten piles are
the result of habitual constipation, and
when once the constipation is thoroughly
cured the piles disappear.
Piles are to constipation what pim-
Piles are to bad blood, simply an out
ward symptom. And just as face lotions
aren't half as good for pimples as good
blood medicine, so salves and suppositories
aren't half as good for piles as reliable laxa-

Harriman's 100000.

AS we understand Mr.. Roose-
yelt's defence of the Hartman
campaign contribution
1 1t was entirely proper for
Mr.. Roosevelt to solicit this mon
.ey, because he intended to bunco
Hartman and did bunco him.
2 Secrecy was necessary be-
cause Mr.. Roosevelt's motives
might have been misconstrued
by low-minded persons who would
see in the transaction a sordid at
tempt on the part of Hartman
to control the presidency through
the use of tainted money.
3 Publicity of such a contri-
button before election might have
thwarted the high moral purpose
of Mr.. Roosevelt in separating
Hartman from his money with
out giving him anything in re-
turn.
4 Other presidential candi-
dates should never be permitted
to engage in similar negotiations,
because even were they sufficient
ly patriotic to deceive a man like
Hartman.
5 The fact that it was Theo-
dore Roosevelt who did this is a
complete answer to all hostile
criticism.
Having defended the contribu-
ton, perhapse Mr.. Roosevelt will
now explain just how the money
was used, as Hartman said, to
to turn so, 900 votes in the cleo
ton. New York World.

labor of all kinds has expanded
enormously, creating opportuni-
ties that fever before existed.
All that young man can rea-
sonably expect is a chance to
show what is in him. Every
man really creates the place he
fills in the world. Real oppor-
tunity lies not in outward condi-
tons so much as it does within
himself. What is opportunity to
one might mean nothing to an
other. The young man who idly
waits for his lucky chance to
turn up is bound to be disappoint-
ed. All chances worth having
are created. To the one not fit
ted for them they are not worth
having.
The question for any young
man to consider is not whether
big job is ready for him, but
whether he is ready for a big
job. If he is he will grow into
the job all right, and nothing can
prevent him.
1t is becoming a common GUS
tom in this country for sons of
presidents of railroads and great
manufacturing companies to put
on overalls, begin at the bottom
of the ladder and work their way
up step by step. One may in
herit a big business, but he can
not inherit the ability to properly
run it. He must learn that, like
the poorest, or lose the busi-
ness.
1t is well to remember that no
man can really succeed except
through his own work. Work
develops all the good there is in
one; idleness all the evil.
Work sharpens all his fac ulties
and makes him,,ssthrifty; idleness
makes him lazy-a spendthrift,
and worse. Work surrounds him
with those whose habits are in
dustriouS and honest. In such
associations a. weak man devel-
ops strength, sand a1.IIstrong man
is made stronger.
The qualitiesI of honesty, en-
ergy, frugality, are. more neces-
sary to success than ever to-day,
but never beforescould they pro-
duce success more abundantly.

town this morning after midnight. and
walked up the Rev. Mr.. Sims, pastor
OF the First Presbyterian church,
merely to inform him, so one Of them
stated. that the good people of that
section were with him.

was intended to reassure Mr.. Sims
that any more attempts TO burn his

NO HOPE FOR
ALDRICH BILL
MEASURE CANNOT PASS HOUSE
~ IT'S PRESENT SHAPE
SUBSTITUTE.

WASHINGTON. April l3-That the
AIdrich currency BILL as passed BY
the senate. viii not be eoneurred in
BY the House is the conviction Of many
Republican members OF the lower
chamber Indeed, that any currency
bin viii be passed al this session is
not positively assured, but if plans
which we're matured today by the Re
publican leaders in the House are ap-
proved by a Republican caucus TO be
held next week, the Aldrich bill in an
amended form, will become a Law.
The Republican leaders have ascer-
tanned in a purely informal way that
with certain amendments the Aldrich
bill can get enough support in the
House 70 assure its passage, and Sen
ator Aldrich, it is said, has informed
them that the amendments they have
in mind viii be satisfactory to the
majority in the Senate.
The caucus will be submitted new
currency bill, drafted by the Republi-
can leaders in the House and intro
duced today by Representative Vree-
land. of New York, which embodies so
much of the Aldrich bill as they feel
confident of and in which is incorpor-
ated the amendments agreed on. As
it is now generally recognized that
sentiment in the House in favor of
such a radical reform in the National
money system as a change from a
bond secured TO an asset currency. is
not strong enough TO uphold the Fow-
Ter bill, the question in the caucus
will be simply whether there shall be
an amended Aldrich bill or moo fnan-
cial bill at all.
