 The display was in charge of Wm. C. Mills and was conducted in a sys- tematic and businesslike manner-the features of the range being brought to notice by means of cards turned in TO- tation AS the points were demonstrated. Delicious baking displayed attested to the merits of the range, the particular style shown being a Richmond Combi- nation Coal and Gas Range. Energet- ic work with a megaphone outside Saturday evening drew the attention of an ever-increasing crowd from all parts of the city. Later on the winner of the brass bed contest was announced to a crowd that taxed the capacity of the store, as being Louis Benoit of Woodstock avenue.
 The Richmond ranges can be pur- chased in all styles and at varying prices to suit, and always on sale al this enierprising store.

The following appeared in the Spring
 field Republican, of November s, under the heading of Wiliston Academy:
 aGeorge A. Hammond, lS60, of the
 firm of Hammond x Know lton, silk
 manufactures of Putnam, Conn, visit ed the school this week with his old
 friend and Williston classmate, John c. Hammond of Northampton. MT.
 Hammond has served four years in the
 Connecticut House of Representatives,
 and is now member of the Connecti. cut Senate and chairman of the Senate committe on finance. By his fidelity and efficiency in the performance ot his public duties he has earned an enVi. able reputation as an able and public spirited citizen. Few men have been more actively identified with the growth of the city of Putnam. For a score of years he has been member of the Putnam school board, and the new high school building with it's spacious
 grounds owes much to his activity and civic pride as a member of the building committee. In his recent visit to Will iston nothing seemed to interest him more than the fact that he was able to turn to the records of the adelphi so- ciety for 1s59-6U and read there the questions debated in the year and find his own name among those of the de baters.p
 In speaking oftthe academy it will be of interest to note that Sidney N Morse, born in North Woodstock, whe
 was principal of the 9th district schoo'
 in 1880 S2, went to Williston as stu
 dent 1883 S6, and is now rounding oul
 his 2lst year as teacher in that institu'
 ton. lie was graduate of Woodstock
 academy.
 In speaking of his work in Putnam MT. Morse says, "Mr. Hammond E two children were pupils of mine, and
 for his helpful suggestions to me while
 1 was youthful teacher in Putnam,
 and his continued interest in me and
 my work have always been thank full" MT. John C. Hammond, referred to above is the dean of the Northamp- ton bar.

A WORD OF PRAISE.

How much a little word of praise will
keep a fellow going!
How much a little compliment will
keep the sunlight flowing,
A word of cheer will do il, too,
So follow man and woman.
Let's try today along the way
To be a little human.
How much a comforting remark will do
to keep one steady,
How sweet the heart responds with
song. and always up and ready!
A word of praise, word Of cheer,
They have a mighty power
To lift the spirit out of gloom
The same as any flower
How much a man can do when he is
told he's doing finely!
How much ii makes the world world
he learns to live divinely!

The tender word and human;
And as it is with men it Is

No Truth in Statement of Effort to

when he branded as false a charge
that the panic Of 1907 had been
started to ruin certain banks. Bart
lett asked Perkins whether such was
not the case and the New York
financier jumped to his feet, saying:
''Such a charge is absolutely false.
There is not a scintilla of truth
in it,
The governments separation of
the Standard Oil company into 33
parts, Perkins declared, was GER
rainly warning to corporations. He
suggested that something should be
done to relieve present conditions,
under which, he commended, corpora
lions could not continue to exist.
Bartlett asked Perkins if he
agreed with Judge Gary as to gov
eminent control of corporations.
81 agree with Gary" said Perkins,
that something of a constructive
nature ought to be done with refer
ence to supervision of our great cor
porations. AS to Gary's opinion that
there should be government regula-
ton of prices, I don't agree. l would
regard that as a very last resort and
it would be much regretted if it be
came necessary. AS between going
to that limit or to continue as we
are going now, would prefer to go
to that limit Certain it is that we
cannot go on as we are now"
as it a fact" Bartlett asked, that
the Morgan interests and other finan-
cial men in New York, by reason of
their great control of money, domin-
ate the financial situation of the whole
country?"
1T is not a fact"
Further along in his testimony Per
bins declared that there was too
much talk about monopoly of ore hold
ings," and that there was no cause
for undue alarm about the ore giving
