A Joke an English Lord Played on an
American Woman.

Lord Rossmore once startled an
American lady. Mrs. Ronalds. whom
he encountered at the residence of his
sister, Mrs Candy, i'm the aristocratic
Park lane of London. He relates the
incident In Things l Can Tell"
She knew my sister. who called her
Fanny. and as | thought Fanny was a
very pretty name | said to her:
Il think I'll call you Fanny too"
Mrs. Ronalds hadn't the least idea
who was. and she said, half laugh
ingly:
well, l declare; never saw such a
person.
Just then | caught sight of the re-
Election in a mirror OF my other sister,
Mrs. Stirling. who was about to enter
the room.
"l'll do more than call you Fanny"
| continued; an kiss the next woman
who comes in"
Mrs. Ronalds looked perfectly horri-
fed.

"Won't L? Just seer'
With this 1 wheeled round. and.
catching Nora in my arms, l gave her
kiss.
i believe Mrs. Ronalds must have
thought that her hostess was enter
tanning mailman unawares, but when
the relationship OF Mrs. Stirling and
myself was explained she enjoyed the
joke as much as any one.

Recreation Notes

1.-THE children begin their educa
ton when they begin to play; for
play not only affords an outlet fol-
their energy, and so supplies one
great means of growth and training
but places them in social relation
with their mates and in conscious
contact with the world about them
The old games that have been play
ed by generations of children, not on.
ly precede the training of the school
and supplement it, but accomplish
some results in the nature of the
child which are beyond the reach of
the school. "-Hamilton Wright Mabie

stun classes-meeting Tuesday and

CHARLES E. DEWEY
Aged Resident Passed Away Early
This Morning.

Charles E. Dewey, who had passed
his entire life of sc years in Ben
nington, passed away at his home on
Main street this morning. He had
been in failing health for some time.
The following is taken from the
Biographical History of Vermont"
Charles Edward Dewey of Ben
niIgton, son of Jedediah and Hannah
Eldredge Dewey, was born in Ben
nington November 20, 1926. His ed
ucation was received IN the common
schools. and in early life he was
prominently connected with the
Ochre trade, but he always made
farming his principal occupation.
He was born in the old Dewey house,
built in 1774, around which cluster
many interesting historic associa-
tons. 1t is one of the Oldest houses
in Vermont and under its shelter
some of the hardy rangers reposed
before the battle of Bennington. In
this house Mr. Dewey and his father
first saw the light. Here the worih by
son of worthy sires has received
many distinguished guests DESTROYS
of visiting a spot hallowed by so
many striking memories of the past.
The surrounding farm has been some
what dismembered by cutting OFF
portions for building lots, but much
of it yes remains. which however,
must be absorbed for the same pur-
post, as ii lies in the residential por-
ton of the village. Mr.. Dewey is an
adherent of the Republican party,
and Congregationalist in religious
faith. He has been incumbent of
several town offices, notably that of
selectman, while he has been proJni-
nently connected with the schools of
Bennington as trustee, and one of
the building committee of the graded
high school. He is a charter mem
Der of the Vermont Historical socie-
ty, and the Bennington Battle Mohu-
ment Association. He was actively
associated with the committee in the
construction of the monument and
the celebration at its completion.
Mr.. Dewey was married Feb. 5th 1856
to Martha, daughter of Samuel ].

METHODS ALIKE HICKEYS
Confessed Slayer Of Joseph Josephs
Says All But Three of His Vic
Tins Escaped Alive.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 2.-The police
department yesterday received sew
eral dispatches relating to the
death or disappearance of children in
various cities and requesting that j
Frank Hickey, the confessed boy
murderer under arrest there on a
charge of killing seven-years-old
Joseph Josephs Of Lackawanna, be
questioned in connection with them
A dispatch from Superintendent Nc
Quaide of the department of safety,
Pittsburg, Pa, told of an assault on
Lawrence Freil, a IA years old boy
of Allegheny in December, 1909. Tn,
assault resembled to a marked de
gree the manner in which Hickey has
confessed that he put to death the
Josephs and Kruck boys. Young
Freil was given whisky, strangled,
and left to die in a vacant houss
Edward p Adams, nine years old
boy of Kane, Pa, has been missing
since December, 1910, and the po-
lice have been asked to investigate.
Hickey was not asked about these
cases yesterday. In his confession
Hickey tells of but three homicides,
the killing by poison of Edward
Morey of Lowell in 1888, the strangu-
lations of Michael Kruck, the New
York newsboy in 1902. and of the
Josephs boy in 1911. He has re-
peatedly stated that these are the
only instances in which he killed his
victims. although he admits without
reservation that he has committed
numerous assaults on boys during his
career of crime and that he intended
killing all, but that they succeeded
in evading him.
Hickey attended the prison church
services yesterday. He had several
callers, among whom were Tai
madge Blass of Lackawanna, Who
first identified the writing on the pos
tai cards and George Josephs. father
of the murdered boy Josephs was
not permitted to see the prisoner,
but remained in the sheriff's office
while the other visitors went to Hick-
ey's cell.
At 10 o'clock this morning Hickey
will be arraigned before Supreme
Court Justice Charles II. Brown to
plead to the indictment charging him
with killing the Josephs boy. He
will enter the formal plea of not
guilty and will be remanded to Jail
to await trial, for which it is under
stood, special criminal term of
court has been called.

DR.. LYNcH's CAR ExPLoDEs
5rattleboro Physicians Narrow Es
cape in Peculiar Accident.

Brattleboro, Dec. DIR. +. r.
Lynch's automobile exploded and
burned up Saturday evening near
Brook road bridge about two miles
south of this village on the Vernon
road. DR.. Lynch was on his way to
Vernon in answer to a call and it is
supposed that he turned off the
switch under the robe so that the
car stopped. He stepped out of the
car and cranked it two or three
times without starting it. He then
lifted the hood and flushed the car
buator.
Almost instantly a blaze of fire
streamed 20 or more feet into the
air. This was quickly followed by
the explosion of the tank. 1t is sup
posed the machine backfred DR..
Lynch's dog, which was riding in the
machine barely escaped from the car
before the explosion. The animal
began to howl pitifully, apparently
thinking his master had been injured
in the explosion.
The car is practically a tota
wreck, the rear part being badly melt
ed down. The car had been run two
years. Three bags of valuable in
struments valued at $500 were in
the car and only the handles to the
bags could be found yesterday morn
ing among the ruins.

sell respect 1t Is typifed IN the ex-
else Of Restraints and caution over a
brother who has never realized his
power to cope with and overcome a
bad habit and in some instances by
the awakening within him those dor
mant qualities and powers which
every man possesses to overthrow
and defeat and subjugate every temp
tation that besets him. Discord,
jealousy, hatred, malice, all these
are avoided or overcome by the true
spirit of an Elk, whether within or
without the circle of Elkdom. And
though there necessarily results a
bond of union between these broth
ers, friendship between men that
is said to be impossible of attain
ment between women, regard for
each other that we'll might be termed
love; yet the love here spoken OF is
not mere sentimentalism, for it is
associated with and has blended into
it other tenets of our Order, which
are comprehensive rules of action
and form the basis of a system Of
conduct and dealing calculated to
ameliorate and render more prosper
Gus and happy not only Elks but all
mankind, with whom we come in
contact.
Our departed brothers were active
participants of this life, and they
tried to comprehend and make good
use of it. They need not have been
conspicuous. That they were worthy
Elks is sufficient reason for our rem
dering this public acknowledgement
to their memory.
On this occasion it would be APP
propriate to group together the
noble qualities of their modest ma
lures, and to the glory of truth ex-
hibit whatever constitutes in each
the kind husband and father, the pa
triotic citizen, the good fellow, but
time forbids.
So limiting our thought to their
fraternal life; AS your memory
and my study scans the past of our
departed brothers, surprising all the
comradship and transitory pleasures
of social life, above and beyond ali
their material successes, there leap
forward supremely important those
tunity was taken TO do unnoticed
kindnesses to those round about
them-too trifiing to mention were
they not acts of love, acts of true
charity, reflections of the love of
God itself in some poor imitation,
which we instinctively feel have en-
tered into their eternal lives. 1t is
not what they have done. not what
they have believed, not what they
have achieved, but it is the spirit in
which they have discharged the com
duties of life Ii is the fact
that, like Conway's Streamlet, the
of their lives ran on with var
led happiness and helpfulness, hv.
anxious about the unknown Sea to
which they and we were tending.
Let this be our final test of their
worldly sojourn. And the judgment?
Not that their names shall be as con-
spious as the sun perpetuated in let
tiers of fame; but that their ordinary,
kind and helpful lives shall be glori-
fed in the hearts of all Elks,-
Their faults written upon the sands,
their virtues upon the tablets of love
and memory"
