Junior Entertainment Pleasing.

The entertainment Monday evening
under the auspices of the junior class of
Leland and Gray seminary was fairly
well attended The first number was a
piano duet by Mrs. F. l.. Osgood and
Miss Hazel Landman, which was finely
executed. Principal Powers then intro
duced S. Thompson Blood of Concord,
Mass, who did the larger part of the
entertaining of the evening. His pro-
gram consisted of two parts, first, stor-
les and reCitations second, character
sketches in costume. Many of his Sc
lections he gave here on his last visit
three years ago, but he was thoroughly
entertaining and the program was heart
lily enjoyed, especially by the younger
pupils, who had not heard him before.
His masterpiece was his impersonation
of Uncle Ben. Tucker" in which he
recited Jim Wolf and the Cats" and
impersonation of Farmer MCGEE" and
enjoyed. The steeplechase Race
Course in negro dialect, was extremely
humorous. Altogether his entertainment
was very enjoyable a humorous effort
The only thing to be desired was a more
modern program Between the first and
second parts Clyde Robinson and Pearl
Starks played a cornet duet which was a
feature of the evening. The entertain
ment closed with a song by Miss Alice
Parsons which was finely rendered and
warmly appreciated Ice cream was
sold after the program. The hall was
cleared and the students spent an hour
marching and in social intercourse.

DUMMERSTON.

E. II. Miller has been away on bust
ness this week.
Miss Nellie Davis has been i'll and
unable to attend school.
W. f. Walker is attending the state
Grange in Montpelier this week.
The centre school was closed We'd
nesday during the funeral of the Reed
brothers.
Mr. and Mrs. a. C. Walker of West
Brattleboro We're guests at II. II. MILL
er's this week.
The subject of the sermon Sunday
morning will be: Paul and the disciples
of John the Baptist" Acts 10: II.
Work is going on with no loss of time
on the residence of Mr.. Balestier The
house, admirably situated and command
ing an excellent view of ranges of hills
on both sides of the Connecticut, is pro-
vided with such conveniences and COM
forts as will make it entirely up-to date.
The ladies' club served a supper in
Grange hall Dec. Z, which was a great
success. The roast pork, Venison and
Chicken-pie were all that could be de-
sired and about 100 supper tickets We're
sold, West Dummerston Grange pre-
scented the play, Hearts and Diamonds
which was well attended. The different
characters were represented in an ad-
mirable way. There was instrumental
music between the acts by Victor La
mothe, Miss Ruth Baldwin and Miss
Bertha Clark.

DUST AND BUSTING.

People are slow indeed to recognize
how formidable an enemy they have in
dust, especially dust in the home, which
is the one place where it could and
should be treated with some recognition
Of its dangerous power. Outdoors one
must encounter it all the time, willy
nilly, but it has been proved by scientific
experiment that at its worst the air out
doors has fewer harmful germs in it than
the air where people are closely congre-
gated.
At the very worst that the biggest and
dirtiest cities can do there is such a
splendid vastness about the great open
spaces of outdoors that it may be
trusted to dilute danger to the safety
point. But in most public places o. meet
ing and in almost all dwellng-houses it
is different story, and this largely be-
cause people will not put their minds to
the subject.
Old-fashioned cleaning meant do the
very worst you can to stir up all the
dust you can find, and knock it about the
place. 1t will settle again shortly, it is
true, and some of it inevitably in your
nose and throat, but never mind. Grand
ma was a splendid housekeeper, and
when she swept, you could not see your
self for dust, and she lived to be ninety!
Perhaps if she had used a vacuum clean
er she might be alive yet. But we can
not all have vacuum cleaners even to-
day, although 1t looks as If that good
time may be coming.
In the meantime it should be easy for
all to learn and remember that dust has
one great foe that it will never be able
to resist, and that is moisture. AS salt
is supposed to be on the tail of a bird,
SO is moisture on the dust-cloth to dust.
This moisture may take the form best
suited to the material to be cleaned-it
may be water sometimes and oil some
times, and very little Of either Where
floors are covered with stationary car
pets, damp sawdust or tea-leaves or
pieces of wet newspaper should be
thrown down to catch the dust as it is
swept up.
Everything that can be carried out into
the air to be swept or shaken or beaten
should be so carried. Many persons
seem to labor under a delusion that SIM
ply hanging things up outside and leav-
ing them motionless is sufficient. They
call it Stunning" them. and this is very
well for the little way it goes; but unless
it is a very windy day, the things go
back to the house with the same germs
in them that they took out.
Finally, in the name of the brother
hood of man, we protest against the
whisk broom of the railroad porter as
! an offense against order and decency, as
it should be against law.-[Youth's Com
| panion.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1911-12-15
Money Spent on lawsuits.

1t is curious that many men, level
headed enough about other things, seem
to lose their wits entirely when they
become involved in lawsuits. In a case
recently concluded in the German courts
Berlin merchant paid out more than
$500 to recover the value of a five-cent
postage stamp. He had written a letter
asking for an address and inclosing
postage for reply. Failing to get an
answer he sued for the stamp.
The famous Missouri watermelon
case was just as trihing and even more
disastrous. The seed was planted on one
farm, but the vine crept through a crack
in the rail fence and the melon grew on
the other side. Both farmers claimed
it, and instead of perceving the humor
of the situation they went to law. To
add to the puzzling features of the ques-
ton of ownership there was a further
complication in that the fence stood on
a county line, whereupon a question OF
the jurisdiction of the courts came up.
The farmers bankrupted themselves
without obtaining a decision as 10 the
ownership.-[Green Bag.

o, A, Wilkinson Found.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of oscar A. Wilkinson of South
Hadley, Mass, father of Mrs f. T. RAN
dali of Townshend, oct. 16 was cleared up
Dec z, when Mr.. Wilkinson was found
in a boarding house in Albany N. Y. He
was deranged and did not want to return
home. A friend now living in Albany
was the means of restoring the man to
his family. He had formerly known Mr.
Wilkinson, and having read in the news
papers of his disappearance notified Mr.
Wilkinson's sons in South Hadley and
Rutland, this state, who took their father
home. He recognized his sons, and some
of the incidents which transpired before
his leaving home came back to him.
Mr.. Wilkinson could give no reasonable
and connected account of his flight from
home. Il meant to go back when 1 left
the house." he told his sons, but after
l got on the train an irresistible impulse
came over me, never to go back"
The last seen of Mr.. Wilkinson by his
relatives, was when he left them on the
morning of Oct. 16, to go to Springfield
to consult an oculist. 1t appears that
from South Hadley Mr. Wilkinson went
to Connecticut, where he lived in several
towns. From there he went to New
York city, and, according to his story,
went to Albany about three weeks ago.
He told his sons that if they had not
come for two or three days more he
would have been on the way to California.
He had some idea of going there to work
on a ranch. When found he was almost
penniless. On leaving home he took with
him almost 5000, but this was all gone,
and Mr. Wilkinson had recently been do
ing odd jobs to make a living. He said
that thought of home never crossed his
mind until he saw his sons.
