In the cleaning, o my darling,
When the lights are dim and low
We could like it if the skeeters
Didn't bite Teller so!
The poor dog, in life the frmest friend,
The first to welcome, the foremost to
defend;
Whose honest heart Is still his mas
ter's own,
Who labors, fights, lives, breathes for
him alone.

A minister in New Britain, Conn, is
trying to solve the Sunday amusement
question by introducing motion pic
lures into his church. The following
dispatch to a New York newspaper
tells the st,ry:
nj believe that if the churches want
to maintain their attendance they must
offer inducements that will get people
to the services" said the Rev. H. A.
Jump, pastor Of the South Congrega-
tional church, New Britain, land
propose to make So irh church rop-
ular Mace this summer"
To this end the pastor will have his
Sunday evening sermons illustrated
with motion pictures
George NJ. Landers former Mayor
OF the city. has offered to give Dlc :
ture machine and the Rev Mr.. Ju mp
will furnish the talk that goes with it.
iIe says it is difficult to get the
y5ung people out in summer uniess
there is an unusual attraction and
he feels certain that a Sunday night
motion picture show will do it.
There is talk among amusement
managers who have been barred from
showing pictures on Sundays to get
an injunction. They think church
should not be allowed to do what they
are not permitted to do.
When Mr.. Landers was Mayor he
favored Sunday night shows and said
it was good thing to keep people
off the streets, so he is heartily in
accord with DR.. Jumps plans. The ex-
pertinent will be tried next Sunday.
Take it from me, boys, the Munsey
tourists will advertise Montpelier.
Hats off to the chef.
Oh, you pretty bunch of girls in the
parade.
The Horse Editor will take his hat
off to Montpelier for the show yester-
day 1t was the best thing of the
kind, considering the size of the place
that he has ever seen, and be has seen
some and then a little more. This
spirit should be carried further along
into an awakening along the lines of
a Merchants Day. or in some manner
to get outside trade into the town.
This can be done by such enthusiasm
as was shown here yesterday.
o
The pushing men had charge of the
affair, and there was no such word as
going back to first base after making
a hit. Pretty good coaching was done
from the bench.
Such affairs as the automobile
parade yesterday does a town a world
of good. 1t wakes up the sleepy ones,
and the good natured rivalry for the
beautiful prizes does us all good
And see the crowd that came in
from outside, even from remote corn
ers of the State.
And one word for the good ladies
who helped their husbands and sweet
hearts decorate. Let us all slap our
selves on the back.
Fred Gleason's bull dog had one on
Jim Boutwells pup yesterday Mr..
Gleason's dog was given an airing
after the show, that he might see the
decorations, but Mr.. Boutwell's dog is !
still convalescing.
Did you see Smith Billiards. smile. |
And we had real live Governor
with us.
Nothing but praise for Chief Durkee
and his band of blue coats. They GER
tainly did a good job. and not an ac-
cident was reported. That State
street corner was certainly we'll TAX
en- care Of.
