HOW 1T ALL STARTED.

Walter d. Nesbitt, in Life.)
When Adam met Eve he was bashful
and shy,
And he stammered and blushed every
time she came nigh,
Till at st he became bold and be-
san to pay court
you may put all your trust in this
faithful report,
And he mmmured to her in an even
ing serene:
You're the prettiest girl have
ever seen."-
And that's how THAT started.
When Eve, with a beautiful blush on
her face.
Yielded shyly and sweetly to Adams
embrace,
And put up her red lips for the true
lovers pact
you may set this down as an abso-
lutte fact).
She inquired when he breathed the
fond names on his list:
Have you said that to all of the girls
YOU have KISSED
And that's how THAT started,
When Adam asked Eve if she would
be his bride,
She looked up and looked down, and
she sighed and she sighed,
And she let him take hold of Dor lily
white hand
This is history now, you must UNI
degstand,)
Then she said in voice that was
dulcetly low
81 must take time to think. tbs Sc
sudden, you know
And that's how THAT started
When they had been married a few
years or so,
Then Adam told Evs, We're invited
TO go
TO a dinner and dance with SOME
friends down in Nod.
This is truly authentic, although IL
sounds odd
Eve replied with sad and sorrow
full air:
- cant go. Don't you see ! have
nothing to wear?

ALBERT BALDWIN

Albert Baldwin, r. a highly respected
resident Of Brattleboro a long term OF
years, died Monday afternoon while in
an unbalanced state Of mind on account
Of a severe attack Of grip, taking his life
by hanging in the attic OF his home on
South Main street, where ais body was
found about $50 o'clock. Mr. Baldwin
had not been in good health the past few
years and had been suffering recently
from a severe cold. He had been able to
10 out every day and he went down town
Saturday as usual 10 get a morning
paper. on sunday and Monday morning
he remained at home and members OF the
family noticed that ne seemed 10 be op-
pressed mentally and he complained Of
severe pains in his head. The attending
physician was Of the opinion that the at
tack OF grip from which he appeared to
be suffering had affected ais mind.
In his long residence here Mr. Baldwin
had Won the respect and esteem of his
fellow townsmen to an unusual degree.
To those who knew him well he was an
unusually bright and cheerful companion,
with a good story for every occasion and
a cneery word at every meeting Even
during his illness OF the past few years
his Cheerfulness and optimistic outlook
kept mis- friends from realizing his true
condition, and only those in very close
touch with him knew that his light
heartedness was not in keeping with his
bodily health. No one who knew Mr..
Baldwin well can believe that the thought
of taking his own life came to him while
his mind was in a normal condition.
Mr.. Baldwin was one Of the six chill
dren OF Isaac and Nancy (White) Bald
win, and he was born in Antrim, n. H,
April 9. 1887. He attended the public
schools OF ais native town and after
wards went to Colby academy in willing
ton, n. II. After mis- graduation from
that institution he returned to Antrim
and conducted his fathers farm until
/ 1872, when he came 10 BrattleborO. He
married Miss Martha ]. Eaton in Antrim
/ in 1871 After coming 10 Brattleboro he
was associated with Maj. b. r. Jenne in
/ the insurance business under the firm
! name OF JENNIE & Baldwin. Later Mr..
/ Baldwin was associated with S. II. Sner-
man under the firm name OF Sherman &
| Baldwin. Mr.. Baldwin retired from the
/ insurance business about 20 years ago
and he had been engaged in nursing
! since. He had been very successful and
there we're but few times when he did not
/ nave all the calls ne could attend to. He
