TIE ACE no RETIRE.

1t is becoming more and more the
order Of the day for professional men
to lay aside their duties, for business
men TO leave the world Of commerce,
manufacturing and finance, for educators
to surrender their field Of service when
their minds and bodies are yet strong
in order that they may not break down
in their work. and that they may be
permitted to enjoy some Of the fruits
Of their easlier labors when they are still
in a position TO keenly appreciate them.
It is a wise general principle to go upon,
both from the standpoint of the indi-
yidual and the public, although the public
may be deprived OF excellent service for
the full term Of human powers.
Perhaps the Rev. DR.. ]. Edward Wright
Of Montpelier may have been actuated
by much the same motives when he
asked to be relieved at near date Of
the duties Of pastorate in which he
had served for forty years uninterrupt
odly. Such a record indicates to that
portion Of the public which may Be unae-
quainted with his work that his labors
with the Church Of the Messiah have
been satisfactory and, therefore, fruitful
Of good TO those who are personally
acquainted with the details Of the pas
torate, no words are necessary to prove
the farreaching results Of his connection
with the Montpelier church. DR.. Wright
has been more than pastor for tEe
Church Of the Messiah; be has been
peoples pastor for the section around
about Montpelier for many miles, and
he is known and respected far beyond
the confines Of his own church. This
wide acquaintance Is the result Of an
nnselfsh, broad-ininded ministry that
aaz taken him out of bis parish, out Of
his denomination and out Of the inme.

one heerudges him the well earned rest
which be now seeks when he is in 4
position to enjoy it.

JINGLEs AND JEsTs
Sisters New Spring Hat.

Sisters got a new spring hat one OF
these wastebasket things;
On the top it's kind Of DAT, bare Of rib
hons and Of wings;
1t comes down around her neck and IL
hides her ears from sight;
Gee don't see why a girl wants to be
screamin fright.
After pa had took one look at her be let
out a dismal sigh;
Sisters hat hid half her nose and hung
across one eve;
Pa he stood and gazad awhile, then at
last he sadly spoke;
There was something in his voice made
me think his heart was broke.
"And they made you pay for thatl" pa
asked, in dismal tone,
As be looked at sisters hat and seemed
panied enough to groan;
Made you pay good money which Ihave
worked blamed hard to get;
All I've got to say is this is the biggest
outrage yet
do you s'pose that any beau. while
you've got that on, says he,
Would come in and try to win you away
from ma and me
There's no use, if you must wear such
a blamed outlandish thing,
To expect wen have chance to get rid
Of you this spring"
Still, guess it's hard to make women
lose their loveliness
IL don't make much difference, after all,
the way they dress;
Every night some fellow comes courtin'
sister Just the same,
Though she's got a new spring hat that
pa calls q sin and shame.
