4 MEMORIAL.
Tribute to the Late Mrs. Medad
Wright.

wright,
Mrs. Wrights long life of ninety
one-years began, continued and
ended in the same locality-a rare
experience in our land of frequent
changes,-and she thus became, as
it were, a centre about which many
interests revolved. Her neighbors,
and all the countryside looked up
to her; and so had their fathers in
days gone by. In recent years she
has been a marvel of vigor and
youthfulness, rising repeatedly from
the assaults of disease with a re-
markable and victorious vitality.
Earlier in life her husbands posi-
ton at the head of an important
manufacturing industry devolved pc
culiar responsibilities upon her, and
she met them nobly. She was SYM
pathetic to the sorrowful, generous
to the needy, a sound counsellor to
the perplexed and for more than
half century faithful wife to her
husband. She was patient and hope
full under bereavement, religious
with broad sympathies and appreci-
alive fthe bounty of kind Provi-
dence which she had so long shared.
She found life sweet, and would
have gladly welcomed it's continu-
ance beyond her four score and ell
even years, but bowed resignedly to
the Heavenly Fathers will. "Her
children rise up and call her bless
ed" J. E. W.

HOW ABOUT A CURFEwi

conditions Seem to Demand an Or
dinance of This Character in
Montpelier.
The recent breaks made in several
stores in the city of late and the fact
that several boys have been proven
guilty of offences of that character.
leads many of our citizens to he
lieve that a curfew ordinance would
be a good thing for Montpelier.
Circumstances point to the SUPPOSE
ton that the breaks In question
were made by youngsters, and in
order to remove the cause of the
disturbance, it is suggested that the
curfew law be applied, the idea be-
ing to get the children off the streets
at night, unless accompanied by their
parents or guardians. II is prob
able that If such an ordinance were
passed there would be much less
disturbance Of the kind above mem
toned and the regulation would be
great factor in the moral improve
ment of the younger element of the
city.
Many cities throughout the coun-
try have adopted such a regulation,
Burlington being on the list, and the
results there fully justify the action
taken in regard to the matter. The
question is live one and should
receive due consideration at the
hands of the residents of this city
who desire to preserve the moral
tone of the younger generation.

There's a new holiday on the book.
1t falls this year on the 10th of
May, and will fall every year on the
second Sunday of this month.
1t is called Mothers Day. A man
named Jarvis started the idea and
it is spreading all over the country
like the little pink flower we used to
call Adams Beard" in California,
riantly.
Wear a white carnation on
Mothers Day and give one to some
one else to wear-in memory4of the
best mother in the world-yours and
mine.

cause he started it, wouldn't you?

ODE TO A FAT GIRL.

WEOW vivid TO my retrospective eye
M Comes back the night that we first
~ ~ sat alone,
And as l heard your sweet respon-
sive sigh
seemed to feel you we're my very own
And yet, and yet, 1 did not dare make
How could 1 put my arms about your
waist2
I must confess the matter troubled me
Until, divning my most hopeless plight.
Intuitively you saw / could not be
Quite easy so short handed. You were
right
And also thoughtful and extremely good
In telling me TO do the best I could.
Indeed, Il might have been embarrassing
IL YOU had not possessed such common
sense
And, quivering like a jelly, felt the sting
OF pride to think that you were so i'm
mense.
Instead of this, you made no bones about
The interesting fact that you were stout.
Thus, with courageous heart, when 1
made bold
And asked you if you'd sit upon my lap
You did not try to do as you were told
(Thus bringing on a terrible mishap)
In lieu of this you shook your head and
said:
may. dearest. You must sit on mine in
stead"
And so It happens as your billowy form
1 fold within my arms las best | cam
You do not grow impatient, dear, and
storm
Or sit on me because / am man,
But with sweet resignation let me climb
Right up and love you little at a time!
