The Old Homestead.

One of the biggest attractions of
the season was Tuesday evening
when ''The Old Homestead" appear
ed at The Colonial. William Law
renee who took the part of Joshua
Whitcomb, a farmer, was certainly
clever and kept the audience
laughing from start to finish. Miss
Emma Chase, playing Aunt Matilda,
Joshua's sister, rendered her part to
it's best. John Spearing as Happy
Jack; J. t. Calkins as Frank Hop
kins, and James Finnegan as Ed.
Ganzy, did every thing to keep the
audiences attention and make the
play compete. The rest of the
company who have not been men
toned deserve fully as much credit
as the rest. The double quartet
which rendered several selections
was one of the most attracting fea-
lures Of the evening.

In conclusion Commissioner
Prouty astOnished his hearers by
announcing his retirement from his
l present position in the near future,
and his retirement to his Newport
home. 1t was his first statement OF
his determination, and the reporters
present were at once vastly interest
ed. His retirement will admittedly
be a great loss and at least temper
airy weakening as regards the COM
mission, but what profiteth glory
and honor in the mouths of men
when health and contentment of
mind and body are waiting in the
serenity of the garden?
A Boost for BrattIeborO.
The senate bill providing for a
further appropriation for the prop
er completion of the federal build
ing at Brattleboro has passed that
body, and is now awaiting action in
the House. The chances are now
very decidedly in favor of the ap-
preparation being made at this ses-
sion. Meanwhile St. Johnsbury is
waiting and hoping, and will realize
on that hope before very many
months at the fartherest.
In the matter of Senator Pages
vocational educational bill the sena-
tor is rapidly promoting the chances
of the final success of the measure
by anticipating any possible objec-
ton of individual senators by pri-
vate conferences with them, when
such Incidental changes are made
as are suggested. BY such concili-
atory methods the bill would nat
urally be given no opposition when
it is finally, ready for action in the
senate. An objections met, sub
stitute bill will be offered, which it
is reasonable to expect will go thru
with little or no difficulty.

bingham reads as follows: evan

Meeting of Art Committee.

The last meeting of the Art Com
mittee was held in the Woman
Club House, Monday afternoon,
April %. A large company was in
attendance and a very enjoyable as
well as profitable afternoon was
spent. Mrs. J. w. Titcomb of
Lyndonville addressed the class on
the subject of Interior Decoration. /"
She illustrated her talk with samp-
les of good designs in wall cover
ings and furniture, and gave many
and helpful personal suggestions
along the line of home furnishings.
The subject: 1.-THE Furnishings
of a Modest Home has been the
topic studied by the Art Committee
in their class work during the year,
and Mrs. Titcomb gave a general
review of same and ably closed the
discussion in her talk at this the last
meeting of the class.

"reminiscences Of Tom Bartlett.
Justice Stafford had been given
as his subject some "reminiscences of
the iIlustrious Tom Bartlett of Lyn-
don Corner and the county and
state at large. whose fame as law
yer yet remains undimmed after his
death a third Of a century f.go.
Bartlett was probably the last Of
the old time lawyers of generations
ago, all of them with many and
particular attributes rendering their
names household words in those
days, and Of him Mr.. Stafford had
abundant material for speaking
most interestingly. That he did so
inevitably follows.
Mr.. Wales contributed some stor-
les and anecdotes, after which Com
missioner Prouty closed the fes-
tivities. He spoke of the great inn
portance of the work of the COM
mission, its growth and the Iabors
involved, but at the close expressed
his very decided preference for the
work essential to the successful till
ing of his garden overlooking
Lake Memphremagog. That care

results and all his own work, he

Fire Near Oil Tank.

An alarm was rung Saturday af-
ternoon for a blaze discovered in the
pump house of the Standard Oil
Company near their oil tanks on up
per Railroad street. The fire was
burning inside the house but the
firemen quickly extinguished it. 1t
was fortunate the fire was discov-
cred before it got beyond control as
a car of gasoline stood on the side
track about rs feet from the pump
house and would have been very
dangerous in the case of hot fire.
The damage to the building was
small. The men in charge at the
station says the fire was set by a
boy.

such manufacturers had adopted a rule
CT naming their models in exact alpha

there would be some reason in #. and
one might guess from the letter e. for
example. that this was the fifth model

ably been in business for five years. But
you'll find they jump from c. to X. then
to r or some other equally irregular Sc
quence. For example. one concern, in

Seems TO me ours is the better plan.
and gives the buyer some definite idea
to how long the makers OF the Ever

ysdrs experience and refinement have
brought the present model to its high
state of perfection. The present Ever
tits are called Model r. Next season S
will be Model 49, and so on. indefinitely.
''Of course. not all concerns could
adopt the year numerals to designate the
model of that year. as we can, for II
