He was young ma who was de-
servedly popular but on account OF

AT THE COLONIAL.

One of the best if not the best
stock company, which visits St.
Johnsbury every year is the Klark-
Urban company which is appearing
at The Colonial every night this
week. That the company had left
a favorable impression behind it on
former occasions was evidenced by
the crowd which greeted the open
ing production Monday evening. The
play was His Last Dollar" and both
play and company proved satisfact-
DRY in every way. The specialties
are clean and clever, especially the
musical specialties by Messrs. Klalrk,
Urban and the Schneider brothers.
The scenery and costumes are pretty
and much better than those usually
carried by stock company. The
play last night was Zone Girl in a
Thousand" and those offered for the
rest of the week are up-to-date.

The Winners.

The Winners.
One of the largest audiences ever as
sembled in the town hall gathered on the
evening of Feb. 21 to attend the high
school prize speaking contest. There
were ID contestants, not one of which
had to be prompted, the selections being
rendered in such manner as to reflect
great credit upon the young people and
school. Prin. Kimball and large dele
cation from the high school at Danville
were present. Supper was furnished

ladies of Cabot. Excellent music bv the
Danville high school and Cabot orches-

tertainment. Supt. Burbank, Supt. But

judges. The first prizes went to Merrill
Barrett and Jennie Webster; the second

SUNNY
MONDAY

You don't have to boil the
clothes when you use Sunny
Monday laundry soap. Hard
water, soft water, cold water,
hot waterfall look alike to
Sunny Monday, and it does
its work equally we'll with any
one of them.
Sunny Monday is white
and contains no rosin, but, in
stead, marvellous dirt-starter
which saves time, and wear
and tear on clothes.

Boston Graduates Hold Annual Meet
ing ON Friday Evening


More than 100 Bostonians who
were graduates of st. J ohnsbury Acad-
envy attended the ninth annual re-
union of their local association at
Simmons College, and had their
school days in the Green Mountain
state recalled in unusually vivid
fashion, says the Saturday Evening
Transcript. The chief feature of the
evening was an address by Dr. NJ G..
Benedict, the present principal of the
academy, and his remarks were il
Illustrated by many pictures of the
academy, showing how it has grown,
and of the village, which is indebted
to the members of the Fairbanks
family for many beautiful buildings.
There were additional views of the
country landscapes, stretches of the
Passumpsic River Valley and bits of
winding road recalled by many of
the graduates of the days before
automobiles and aeroplanes were
invented.
Before the address the dinner was
served in the dining room of the col
lege, and corps of Simmons stu
dents added to the interest of the
occasion. R. S. Hubbard, the re
firing president, presided, and brief
remarks were made by H. P. Patey.
D. Y. Comstock, one of the former
principals of the academy, and P. f.
Hazen, who came from Vermont with
Mrs. Hazen, a former teacher at the
school, to represent the trustees.
At the business meeting the cleo
ton of officers resulted as follows:
President, Edwin A Bayley; vice
president, George H. Frost; secre-
tary and treasurer, NJ. Pansy Smith;
executive committee, Jay Benton.
