tempted his duckship. who was taking a
Sunday morning stroll
Upon returning from church. Mr.. Per-
kirs discovered his prize duck in a
somewhat logy condition. Tel-tale marks

clew. He was about to pick up the bird

port, and Mr.. Perkins ran into the house
holding both hands over one eye. A
surgeon was called. who found that the
eyeban had been penetrated by a frag-
ment Of flying duck. and gave no hope

the Tendencies of the present day
toward vulgar ostentation, display,
and conspicuousness, Rev. DR.. Rus
sell preached a stirring sermon at
St. Patrick's Church yesterday
morning.
The thirst for exciting pleasures,
the lust of travel, and the greed Of

as factors that have robbed the

sequence have left our national
character devoid Of many of those
virtues which thrive only at home.

Growth in Vermont.

Unofficial estimates of the population
of the various states, as computed by
the census Office, show that New York
leads the list, with Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Ohio next in order and Texas fifth
The estimates of the New England states

Massachusetts, 3,2O2,O14.

chusetts, 2,SO5, BAG; New Hampshire,
Ali, 58S; Rhode island, 42S, $50; YER

Clean Up In Hardwick.

A cooperative movement directed to-
ward cleaning and identifying Hardwick
village and the cultivation of civic enthu-
siam among its citizens took place Fri
day, when, under the direction of the
Village Improvement society, the COM
munity observed Arbor day as a time
of 'slicking-up.
Early in the morning rakes, brooms,
shovels, and wheel-barrows were brought
into lively use and everybody. from
Italian laborers to digni6ed DANES and
business men, waged a common warfare
against dirt and disorder. The planting
of trees and shrubs and the laying out of
flower beds was especially encouraged.
A pageant containing the greater part
of the villagers, was the most picturesque
feature OF the day. The Hardwick band,
400 members of the Junior Civic league
with the public school teachers, the
Hardwick academy students in floats,
the women of the Village Improvement
society dressed in white aprons and caps
and carrying brooms, features by the
business firms, practically all the auto
mobiles in town, and any number of in
dividual stunts" composed the parade.
The procession proceeded to Prospect
Park where ball game between the
Hardwick academy and the Woodbury.
Granite company was won by the former
by score of to 0. In the evening an
open air band concert was given and the
local theatorliums put on special features
giving the proceeds to the Village I'm
provement society.

Banquet Thursday Night.
Commercial Club to Have Informal
Feed and Good Speakers at
Pythian Hall at Six O'Clock
Tomorrow Night.

The arrangements are nearly complet-
ed for the first informal banquet of the
recently formed Commercial club at
Pythian hall tomorrow evening at six
O'Clock. 1t is held at that hour so men
can go directly from their business to the
hall for supper and listen to the speeches
and get home at an early hour. Messrs.
Greene and DeBoer who were invited to
be present and speak could not come
owing to other engagements and the
executive committee have secured Daniel
Remick of Littleton, N. H.. and George
French of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce to deliyer short addresses. E. B.
Finn of Springfield has been invited and
will come if it is possible. Sickness in his
office made it impossible for him to
promise definitely when the invitation
was given.
Rev. T. J. Leonard will, if his church
duties permit, be present and speak of
the possibilities of business mems or
ganization from a local standpoint.
President Steele of the Commercial club
will preside and some other local men
may speak briefly.
There has been large sale of tickets
and with the able talent secured from
the outside the affair is sure to be one Of
interest to all business men of St. Johns

The Y. M. c. A. State Camp for boys
at North Hero, on Lake Champlain, will
open June 80, and over rs boys are ex-
pected to be present for the first two
weeks. The camp will remain open for
a month if sufficient number of boys
express a wish to remain that length OF
time. The St. Johnsburv Association
expects to be well represented and the
boys are anxious to make good show
ing in field and track athletics and bring
the silver camp cup home for the second
time.
Mr.. Palmer leaves st. Johnsbury
June 1 but expects to be able to return
by the end of June and take charge of the
boys who are going to camp and spend
two weeks with them there.
BIN. Clark of Burlington. who has the
organizing of the State Camp at North
Hero, has promised to visit St. Johns
bury in the near future and give his illus
trated address entitled Life in the Yer
mont Boys Camp" This lecture is
especially interesting to parents, as
many snapshots of the boys at work
and play are shown and a good idea OF
how the boys spend their two weeks
under canvas is gained.

State Convention.
Republican Committee Meets In Burlington
Friday to Fix Dates.

Frank c. Williams of Newport, chair
man, has announced the following ar
rangements for the meeting of the State
republican committee:
. have called meeting of the State
republican committee for Friday, the
18th inst, at the Van Ness House, to ar
range for the time and place for holding
the State convention, and to discuss the
question of how best to arrange for an
opportunity by the convention to dis
cuss the platform.
g If the two district conventions can
be held the day before the State conven-
ton, so that the delegates would be like
" to be at the place of holding the State
convention early in the evening before
the convention, the county members of
the committee on resolutions could be
chosen in season to give plenty of time
to formulate a platform, and the con-
vention could go in at 9 a. M, and after
organization, take up the question OF a
platform and dispose of it before nomina-
lions were made.
Some suggestions have been made
that the committee select a committee
before the caucuses are held to prepare a
tentative platform to be presented to the
committee on resolutions. This might
work well, but would be subject to the
criticism that the committee was ex-
ceeding it's authority, and am inclined
to think that the committee should select
the chairman of the committee on resolu-
tions as has been the custom and then
so arrange the program that the conven-
ton will have every opportunity to
consider the platform presented.
However, the committee will decide
this matter when it meets"

Reception at Academy.
The Sophomores GaveAnnualEntertain
Last Friday Evening.

On the evening of Friday, May sixth,
the class of 1912 made its formal entrance
into society by means of the annual class
interview. The occasion was most favor
able for their introduction, not only be-
cause of the full moon which had the
kindness to hang itself up on the east
wall of the chapel, but also because Col.
Roosevelt apparently arrived just in the
nick of time to help them celebrate. Rus
sell Adams, class president, inpersonat-
ing Colonel Roosevelt, welcomed all to
"The Camp" The class had done all
in their power to make him feel at home,
providing for him tent, campfire and a
whole armory of rifles, to say nothing of
large and we'll equipped park full of
animals. He was, later, in company
with the other guests, served with
barbecue in the form of animal crackers.
During the evening a number of the
sophomore girls amused the company by
giving a short boarding school comedy,
entitled Young Doctor Devine, given by
the following cast: Rebecca, Madeline
Weeks; Elizabeth, Irene Peck Marie, Vera
Goodrich; Grace, Clarissa White; Rose,
Pearl Smith; Maude, Agnes Morrison;
Laura, Portia McGill; Madam, Grace

The reception wasin every way credit
to the class. The committee IN charge
should be congratulated on the originali-
ty of their plan, and for the good taste
with which it was executed.

DeRue Brothers Ideal Ministries at The
Colonial Friday Evening.

One of the principal features with De-
Rue Bros. Ideal Ministries will be the re-
appearance of the Leahy Brothers in
America, direct from their tour of the
principal cities of Europe, which included
a ten weeks engagement at the Coliseum
Hippodrome, in London, England,
where their act met with great favor
and was witnessed by DeRue Bros
European agent, and Immediately an
agreement was made and they were
engaged for their first return appearance
in America. They have the distinction
of being one of the few acrobatic duo
who have performed and appeared before
royalty. This sensational novelty is
without doubt the most marvellous
performance which has yet appeared in
America, performing seemingly i'm
possible feats of acrobatic agility. De-
Rue Bros. guarantee the appearance of
the feature act at each performance, at
The Colonial on May 10.
