SOME EXAMPLES.
Giving examples of excessive gov
eminent expenditure along certain
lines the president told congress that
in one department it cost 1884 per
thousand to handle incoming mail and
in another department $S4.40 per thou
sand. For handling outgoing mail one
department expended 1884 per thou
sand, another S69.S9. Either one de-
partment paid too much or the other
not enough, he said. In travel alone
the government expends about $12,-
00e, 900 a year. Definite tests, he
pointed out, have shown that a saving
in this item alone of a little over half
of one cent mile probably could be
effected.

MRS. LYDIA NOURSE.

The death of Mrs. Lydia (Renfrew)
Nourse came early Sunday morning, Oct
18th. She has been in failing health foI
ten years or more, although most of this
time she has been able to see her friends
and to continue her usual quiet routine Of
daily life. For several weeks, she has
been confined to her bed, suffering greatly
at times.
Mrs. Nourse was the daughter of Robert
and Lois (Roberts) Renfrew and was
born in Newbury, Feb. ID, 1925. She
lived in her native town several years
after her marriage to William Harvey
Nourse in May l845. After moving to
Bradford some fifty or more years ago,
they built the home now occupied by F.
G. Cove. About thirty-fve years ago,
they built the Nourse house on the site of
the Old Vermont House, in which she
made her home until the time of her
death, Mr.. Nourse having preceded her
by about twenty years.
Mrs. Nourse was Scotch by ancestry,
her father having been born in Scotland
and she possessed many of the character
istics of her race strongly. She was an
ardent Christian, having joined the Con-
gregational church when young. She was
kind and her kindness took a practical
turn. For years, before the advent of
trained nurses, she went into the homes of
her friends and neighbors in their times
of sickness and sorrow, and was a strong
support as well as a gentle nurse. She
was naturally musical and had a fine
voice. For years she was a member of
the church choir and she also took part in
all the musical life of the town. She had
fun loving nature and was an interest
ing conversationalist, having keen inter-
est in people and events. Being a Scotch
woman, she admonished the young in
right ways of living even as she entered
with them into all their good times. She
lived in the age when all did something
useful and her particular line was fur max
ing. She was known over a wide area as
an expert fur worker. Those who knew
her only in her old age saw but the ripen-
ing of her life into quiet, sunny autumn,
but the others can remember when sorrow
visited her home, when the three little
boys came and stayed but for brief span
of life, leaving them childless. She is sur
vived by one brother and two sisters, all
of whom have passed the allotted span of
life, Thomas R. Renfrew being "a, Mrs.
Lois A. Albee of Nashua being 80, and
Mrs. Myra J. Bisbee of Vergennes being 72.
The funeral was held from her late
home, Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock,
Rev. A. r. Crewe of the Congregational
Church OF Piermont, officiating. She was
laid to rest beside her family in the ceme-
tery on the upper plain-the last of her
family.
Mrs. H. Fl. Newton, who has been
visiting her daughter, Mrs. S. j.
Sisco, returned to her home in Low
