Centenarian breaches Sermon.

birthday occurred on Monday of this
week. preached an instructive and help
full sermon to An audience which packed
the East Middlebury Methodist church
last Sunday morning
One of the Registers correspondents at
East Middlebury says of the sermon {:
HE took as his text Psalm 116, the 18TH
to l4th verses, and his scholarly expos-
ton of the text, with the abundance of
scriptural quotations, made the accomp,
lishment of our aged friend the more re-
markable.
IAN informal reception was rendered
Mr.. Bidwell at the close of the service,
and many and rich were the compli-
ments passed on the3achievement of this
worthy centenarian. OurI aged friend
received scores of cards, letters and kind
ly tokens on his birthday"
1t is seldom that man reaches the age
of one hundred years and extremely
rare are the cases where man, having
reached that advanced age, is in such
physical and mental condition as to be
able to preach sermon.
The Register again extends congratu-
lations and best wishes to Mr.. Bidwell
and wishes for him more years of use

THEIR LAZY CLUB.
English Workmen Make Late Corners
Pay For Hardness.

Pay For Hardness.
In the engineering shops Of a GER
tain English firm the workmen Of a
year or two ago originated what they
called the Lazy club. 1t was entirely
their own idea, which for obvious rea-
sons has received neither recognition
nor financial support from the manage
ment but has been the most excellent
means of reducing the number of late
Corners.
Whenever Il workman is more than
Eve minutes after time he finds the
gate locked. and he is not allowed tC
enter until the half hour is up
This half hour is deducted from his
wages, but in addition he has also tc
pay to the treasurer of the Lazy club
about 8 cents for coming late.
IF he is late more than once or sc
during week everybody is aware OF
the fact. and the second or third time
ne makes his appearance after starting
time he is greeted with a terrific com
bination of noises produced on any
available material by his fellow work
men
At certain periods the accumulated
funds of the Lazy club are divided
not among those who have produced
them. it should be noted. but among
the entire staff equally. Thus the late
workman is made to pay the early
Corners for his laziness.
The last distribution was just prior
to a bean feast" and funds accumu-
lated during twelve months were dis
tributed amounting to over $1.75 a
head.-Systcm.
