Dean Hodges, some years ago in little

the limitations and the privileges of the
modern father. He would look to him

Some Things About Children.
If there is any season of year when il
is difficult to entertain children who are
i'll and in bed, it is just when the spring
days are "too pleasant to stay in the
house" and everybody longs to get out
into the sunshine and spring freshness.
There are certain little games which
should not be forgotten. Games for the
sick-in-bed one asks. Yes-the more
the better! Mothers while making pies
within talking distance might play hide
and-seek. She says, "l'll hide first" then
pretty soon calls Scoop" Little Sick-in-
the-bed guesses. Are you behind the
cellar door," mo" "Under the pantry
shelf" "No." "ln the garnet behind the
chimney?' "Yes" Then little Sick-in-
the-bed hides. Another is the game of
pets. my pet has feathers" "a canary
canary" is it a mocking birds" "No
Its feathers are bright colored" as it
cardinal birds" "No. 1t sometimes
talks to me-" "Oh! It's parrot"
Hide the thimble, games of travel, and
shopping expeditions are interesting. An
older brother or sister. or the mother may
play these games and at the same time
keep busy about other things.
Are baby's feet and hands kept warm
No one can expect an infant to be smiling
and happy with cold feet or hands which
often cause collie.
Teach children to put on dry shoes and
stockings at once if their feet get wet.
Expect them (and without apparently
watching them), make sure that they
look after themselves in this matter. 1t
is one of the essentials of health. They
should be taught not to 60 through pools
of water on the way to school nor while
at play there, where they must sit with
them damp, but to have such accidents"
happen on the way home where exchange
at once is possible.

Oldest Member of State Bar.

Roswell Buell., the Oldest living member
of the Vermont state bar, the Oldest resi-
dent of Middletown Springs and the
oldest ex-member of the Vermont legis-
lature, died Monday morning at the age
of 81 years. He had been in poor health
all winter. Mr. Buell. was born in Mid
dletown Springs Jan. 2, 1918, the son of
Roswell and Fanny Perry Buell.. He
was the oldest of four children and was
the last member of his family. He was
brought up on his fathers farm. the
house in which he was born having been
torn down about go years ago. He at
tended the public schools and later spent
two years at POultney seminary, paying
his own way through school. After leav-
ing school Mr.. Buell. entered the law
office of Orson Clark in Middletown
Springs, where he studied for three years
when he was admitted to the bar about
70 years ago. He practiced law in his
home town until 1887 when he went to
Elk Point, S. d., but in the following
year, owing to the failing health of his
parents, he came home to take care of
them and had remained there ever since.
Mr. Buell. represented his town in the
legislature in 1850 and from 1870 to 1876.
He was also appointed member of the
Constitutional Convention which met at
Montpelier in June, 1870, and which re-
vised the constitution so that the state
elections came biennially. Mr.. BuelPs
mind and hearing remained unimpaired
practically up to the end His sight
failed few years ago.
1t is probable that no license will be
issued in New Haven, VT, this year, as
no application has been made. 1t is
understood that the commissioners intend
to charge the maximum fee of $500 and
that no one feels like paying this amount.
A story is told to the effect that previous
to town meeting some 80 citizens, joking,
agreed to vote for any candidate for
town office on whom they could agree.
1t transpired that there was no posi-
bility of unity on any candidate, where
upon they agreed to vote for license, and
New Haven went wet by majority of
seven.
