w. J. Bryan Coming to St. Johnsbury.

The boys of the st. Johnsbury
academy are trying to raise some
money to make necessary repairs on
the academy buildings and have sue
ceeded in securing an attraction that
will be sure to fill the Colonial and
add considerable money to their fund.
They have secured the promise of W.
J. Bryan, the famous lecturer and
politician, to come here on the eve
ming of May % and deliver an ad-
dress on non-political subject. Mr..
Bryan is not an easy man to secure
and the boys are indebted to Elisha
May for Mr.. Bryan's promise to come.
Mr.. May is personally acquainted with
Bryan and wrote a personal letter to
the lecturer, telling him of the boys
purpose and their lack of money.
These things appealed to Mr.. Bryan
with such force that he promised to
come if it was possible for him to do
so.

The Gospel of Saint Luke.

How, Good Physician, could we spare
thy story,
OF all that happened from the very
first:
The pages roseate with angelic glory
From touch Of Gabriel's wing, from
light that burst
Above the Bethlehem shepherds.
Could we part
With phrases burdened with the
thoughts that erst
The Virgin Mother pondered in her
heart?
Yet were that goodly treasure from
US taken
How could we spare the golden lines
that say
That@He who mercy shows to one for
saken
Is, then, bis neighbor, whether he
shall pray
At Gerizim or Zion. Lost we roam
But for the story of the poor estray
Sin marred and starving.
At its touch we waken
And, turning, find Our Fathers Love
and home.
John Elliot Bowman of Westfeld
in the "Watchman," Boston.

THE TRAITOR.

The Junior play. 1.-The Traitor" was
presented to full house in Seaver's
hall last evening. The scenes were
run through smoothly and the whole
performance reflected credit upon the
participants. The play was written
by the Senior English class as sub
stltute for an examination to cover
their study of the origin and develop
ment of the drama. Later the play
was recast for presentation to the
personnel of the Junior class. The
play is intended to demonstrate the
tragedy Of Arnold's fall from pa
triot to traitor. In detail it shows
the working of social, and economic
forces of the mass against the man.
The players deserve all the credit
they won especially. because they
were not drilled in their parts. The
play as presented represented the
faithful work of the pupils. 1t would
be impossible to mention each actor
and make comparisons as nearly every
part seemed fittingly played. Follow
ing is the cast of characters.

JACKSON HARROvER'S ANSWER
Responds to Suit for Legal Separa-
ton Filed bv Wife.

jackson Narrower, in answering the
suit for legal separation filed by his
wife, Rebecca A. Narrower, tells the Dis
trict Supreme Court that he is willing to
support her if she will guarantee that ne
part of the money is used for their TWEEN
ty-three-year-old son. who. the father
says, will not work.
The husband says he always treated his
wife kindly and provided suitable home
and comforts for her until he learned
that a large portion Of the house money
was being squandered for the boy, who
has always refused to work and support
HIMSELF Mr.. narrower says he informed
his wife that this diverting of the funds
must cease, and declares she told him
that unless he would support the son she
did not care for and would not receive
support from her husband.
Because of his decision, the husband
says, his wife has become enraged at him,
and he expresses the fear Of bodily harm
from her if he returns to live with her.
Attorney W. j. Neale appears for the
husband.
