A Tribute of Respect.

At meeting of the members of the
the Ladies Guild, of st. Barnabas
Church, Iceland, this county
August 18th, 1909.
Mrs. Rosa Bowie and Miss Mildred
Carter were appointed a committee to
drawn up the following resolution.
The sudden death of Mrs. Holly
Berry, of Graden. Md, was a sad loss
to this Society of which she had been a
consistent member for many years. Her
life was an example to all. A regular
attendant both at Church service and
Guild meetings, and always ready and
open handed to assist in the work of
restoring and keeping in order this dear
old Colonial Church. Moreover she was
ever ready to help in any charitable.
cause. Her character, loveable dis
position and devotion to her family
were things to initiate. In this part
of Southern Maryland where the
Church is so weak it can ill-afford to
lose such devout member and supper
ter.
Be 1t Resolved, That a copy of this
resolution be entered on the minutes of
this Guild, one sent to the family and
published in our l)cal paper.

Value of Hot Milk.

No one who, fatigued by over-exer-
ten of body or mind. has ever expe-
rieneed the rdvlving influence of =
tumbler Of milk heated as hot as it can
ba slipped, will willingly forego resort
to it because of its being rendernd
somewhat less acceptable to the palate.
The promptness with which it's cordial
influence is felt is indeed surprising
Some portions of it seem to be digested
almost Immediately. and many who
faucy they need alcoholic ssimulants
ing and far more enduring in its effect
1t is within as easy reach of all as any
other drink, for it is now sold general
ly at soda water fountains.
Sometimes we are prone to forget
what progress the world is making and
look only upon imperfections that still
call upon US for removal. A good anti
dote for this pessmistic forgetfulness
is found in President Taft's letter for
bidding census supe4 visors to indulge
in political activity; and especially in
the tone which the letter mapifests
toward the spoils system in general.
OF the justice and wisdom of this
order no question will arise in any
enlightened mind, or in any minds at
all, in fact, except those who are still
blindiy and foolishly welded to the
old Jacksonian doctrine that to the
victors belong the spols. It is at last
possible for one to assert without dan
of overwhelming scorn that census

and sterling worth; a grandson and granddaughter, the former, aged two and half, flourishing his spoon with a vigor that gives promise of a full share of the familys energy. The pleasant hour draws to close. Presently the scene of attention shifts for little while. Miss Gladys Verify steps forward to recite. The piece is called "A Dream of the Past" How well fitted to close an occasion such as this! with a prompt ness beautiful to see the old gentle4 men pay deference to the sex repre- sented by this charming slip of feminity and listen carefully. As she recites their interest deepens. In poem of pathOs and power she tells the old story of the mating of man and maid: out that which to her is dream of the future, to them is dream of the past, lovely memory. The evening has reached it's climax, each heart is full of tender recol- lections and is best company for it's self. We separate. But ere we go we grip the hand of our genial old friends. God bless you, Henry War her, God bless you Seth Warner, God bless you Sheldon Smith. God bless you Henry Trowbridge. And God bless you Henry HurlDut with your crown of seventy five years, God

As to the appointment of the commission under the Barnum bill, what good is it if 1t has no power? Some have said that this bill has tho ear-marks Of the New Haven railroad. It reminds me of the story of the fakir who could reau the finest type through the thick covers of a Bible. A colored woman who saw him do 1t said, Gosh, Mis-. ter, guess I'd better get out of here because I've got my thin clothes on.

Editor of Newtown Bee, Dear Sir: In your issue of July 29 you make mention of the new state law provid- ing for closer supervision of our rural schools and express regret that the law does not apply to Newtown, as containing an incorporated bor- ough. Some of your recent corres- pondence has revealed the discon- tent with prevailing conditions, and I do not see why Newtown may not take her own initiative and improve matters here. The town superinten- dency has been proven to be the ideal arrangement. You may not be fully ready to adopt this plan but might take steps in that direction, giving your High School principal supervisory power. It seems to me of especial importance that the ex- aminations for entrance to the High school should be placed on a more satisfactory basis. The present sys- tenn is certainly out of date. No body of business men not in constant touch with both High School and the District School are competent to prepare questions for the High School examinations and give the pupils and the papers adequate su- pervision. Something better than the present antiquated system can certainly be devised. Newtownis well situated to be the educational center for considerable radius outside of her own territory and should contin- ue to improve the opportunities she offers to her own children.-[Wil- liam Day Smith, Principal High School, Scottsville, Va.

 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotics or harm full drugs, and to-day holds the record for the largest number of actual cures of female diseases of any similar medi- cine in the country, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass, from women who have been cured from almost every form of female complaints, inflammation, ul- ceration, ,displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration. Every such suffering woman owes it to herself to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial.
 If you would like special advice about your case write a cOnfiden- tial letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free, and always helpful.

BIRTHDAY OF HENRY s. HURL-
 BURT.

An interesting epoch in the histo- ry of the "Hurlburt's on the Hill' was reached on August 8, when H. s. Hurlburt, the present holder of the old homestead and sterling citizen, attained the mellow age of 75 years. Apart from it's intrinsic charm, with it's wooded knolls, it's brook, and beautiful view, perhaps the finest in the town, a peculiar in terest attaches to the Hurlburt place, inasmuch as a 17th century Hurl- burt bought the land direct from It's Indian owners and a 20th century Hurlburt holds it still. In a word, the Hurlburt place is in the hands of an aristocrat of the Connecticut soil. It vas with a sense of reverence that the eavesdrOpper came upon a group of four gentlemen, their heads wear ing the silvery halo of old age, their faces radiant with the zest of youth.
 The conversation reached his ears: they were schoolDoys once again. Again they fished in the pools that still attract the lads of today. The fascination of the hooks and crannies of Roxbury for us had held them, too. Titanic contests with plough
 and scythe, wielded, not by old hands, but by stalwart young mems arms, were renewed. Up the ladder of the years came the "reminiscences, one by one. The rosy mists of youth gave place to steadier, truer light. It was privilege to listen and to live their lives over with them. It was like reading Nansen's "Farthest North" only far more worthy of in- terest and respect. These men had explored the farthest north of life and still explore. Reverently let us listen to the stories of the voyage. But young hands have beer busy. Supper! comes the call. The old gentlemen troop in; all stand back and let them through. Before the hero of the evening lies cake, (one of many), with two figures embedded in it's surface, "75." Inc glory of the setting sun is in the room; at this moment every young heart is conscious of the majesty of weight of years. But not so the veterans. Happiest of the happy, their quips and sallies keep us in smiles and laughter. Seth Warner makes the hit of the evening with his recollec- tion of pudding making during the Civil War. Called upon to make blackberry buildings for nigh a 100 comrades and driven to desperation for the cloth in which to tie the buildings, his Yankee resourcefulness hits upon an expedient that, as he tells it, brings us perilously near the choking point. Joke follows upon joke. Henry Hurlburt might we'll rejoice as he looks round upon two generations of children: son and daughters upholding the noblest traditions of the family for industry
