26th Anniversary.

William f. Bailey, known to nearly
all of the railroad men in this section
of the country as Billy Bailey" will
in a few days celebrate the Goth an
niversary of his initiation into The
work of railroad telegraph operator.
1t is not probable that the celebration
will occupy many days, as the old OPP
orator has not missed many for a
number of years, and will be loath to
do so now so that he will undoubtedly
be found giving train orders at the
same old stand in the local railroad
station. Mr.. Bailey's years in rail :
road employ comprise many roads.
His first experience was with the
Delaware & Hudson, with whom he
spent eight years. The next was with
the New York Central & Hudson Riv-
er, where he was stationed for three
years, and the remainder of the time
was spent with Chicago, Milwaukee
e st. Paul, the Erie, Boston & Maine,
Central Vermont and Rutland. Dur
ing the time he was stationed with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
and with the Erie roads he was dis
patcher.

Gently Senator Bourne of Oregon
had distributed large boxes Of apples.
Oregon Spitzenbergs, and for several
days the tables in the Senate lobby
were rich with their beauty and frag-
rance in a constantly diminishing
amount. There arose some discussion
among Vermonters as to whether
these Oregon apples were better than
Vermont apples But in order to
show that Vermont had many prod
ucts to be proud of Senator Page had
put in the Senate Hobbies large bowls
of Vermont butternuts. Over ono
bowl he placed the following notice
"The Almighty might have made a
better nut than the Vermont butter
nut, but he never did. Please qualify
