For Washington Memorial.

The George Washington Memorial
association was incorporated in the
city of Washington September, 1898,
for the purpose of erecting a building
to be known as the George Washing
ton Memorial building.
1t was resolved by the National
Society of the Colonial Danes of
America at its recent council to di-
rect the best efforts of the society
toward raising the sum of at least
$4,000 for this building.
This building is to be erected in
the city of Washington as a national
tribute to George Washington, dis
tinguished in Colonial days and later,
the first president of his country.
AS this building is intended to pro-
vide permanent home and gather
ing place for national, patriotic, edu-
cational, scientific, literary and art
organizations - thus carrying out
Washington's great desire to offer
to his countrymen in their own
country the best educational ad-
yantages possible-it was considered
proper and inspiring work for the
National Society of Colonial Danes
of America to aid in it's erection, and
thereby secure permanent quarters
in Washington for it's national ar
chives and library, and perpetual
ives and library, and a perpetual
council room for it's meetings.
The children are to be asked to
wear a Washington button. From
this fund it is hoped to build one
wing of the building, which will be
the children's tribute to this great
and honored man.

Vermonter Lost 1000.

Newell Heath of Brattleboro is
S 1000 poorer because he decided to
transfer his bank balance from Yer
mont to Massachusetts, last Friday
morning. On Thursday Mr.. Heath
cashed check for 5 1 200 at the YER
mont National bank in Brattleboro
and received 500 cash and a cash
ier's check for 5000. Friday morning
he started for Fitchburg, Mass, to
deposit. the $1,000 in the Fitchburg
Savings bank. He carried the money
pocket of his trousers. Between
Milford, N. H., and Aver Junction
he discovered that his purse was
missing and was starting to make an
outcry when a man who sat in the
seat back of him asked him if he
had dropped his purse and handed
him the pocketbook. Mr.. Heath
thought nothing of the incident and
believed that he had accidentally
drawn the pocketbook out as he had
been keeping track of his funds by
putting his hand in his pocket oc-
casionally. At noon as he was leav-
ing Aver Junction for Fitchburg
Mr.. Heath felt a mans hand in his
pocket and before he could make
himself understood that he had been
robbed the thief had disappeared.
The robbery took place on the train
and Mr.. Heath is sure that three men
we're concerned as two men attempted
to assist him yet di dit so clumsily
that the thief escaped from the train.
Mr.. Heath Immediately notified the
chief of police of Aver Junction and
payment was stopped upon the check
at the bank, but as a chshier's check
can be collected when in the hands
of third party who may be in
nocent OF any theft. Mr.. Heath is in
clined to believe that his loss will
be total. When Mr. Heath completed
his arrangements with the chief OF
police at Aver Junction he found that
he did not have cent of money to
return to Brattleboro, and the chief
of police furnished him transporta-
ton to his home. Mr.. Heath
was so frustrated that he is
unable to give any description of the
three men whom he believes robbed
him.

be Held at Rutland, Oct. 11-13.


The 42nd annual convention of
the Vermont Sunday School Associa-
ton will be held at Rutland, October
lib. This promises to be one of
the largest and best conventions of
any kind ever held in New England.
Advance information from the pro-
gram committee discloses a formid
able array of speakers from various
parts of the country, each of whom
Is an expert in an important line.
Among them are G.. w. Pierce of
Chicago, who will give one or more
addresses on Organized Adult Bible
Glass Work, and Miss Mamie Lee
Frazier of Louisville, KY, recog-
nized leader in work for juniors.
The reports of the state superinten-
dents of department work will show
gratifying progress the past year and
the whole convention promises to
be one of unusual inspiration. In
addition to all pastors and superin-
tendents, who are ex-off1cio members
of the convention, each Sunday
school in the state should elect three
delegates and send their names at
once to e. J. Seaman, chairman of
the registration committee, Rutland.
Works His Bull Like a Horse.
Scion Underwood, a successful
farmer, who lives about two miles
south of the village of South London
derry, does all his farm work ex-
cept blowing with sturdy bull about
three years old, which he raised. The
animal has been thoroughly broken
to harness, and is driven both to
wheel vehicles and runners. Mr..
Underwood uses the bull in making
trips to the village and all about
town His steed is not very speedy,
but is thoroughly reliable and gives
good service. A few years ago Mr..
Underwood had pair of steers
which he trained to bits and drove
like a pair of horses.

nothing in the recent politics OF this
State that has appealed so strongly to

Republicans as 1t is to the Democrats
to have this Commonwealth represent
