15OTH ANNIVERSARY.
Town of Monkton Celebrates Set
Element in Fitting Manner.

The 150th anniversary of the settle
ment of the town was celebrated
Friday. 1t was well represented by
townspeople who brought many relics
and tokens of the past. Perhaps the
oldest was a Hebrew Bible 156 years
old, which was the property of the late
Henry Miles. The program was car
ried out as follows: Music and refresh
ments at eleven o'clock. At two
O'Clock the house was called to order by
the temporary chairman, C. w. Stone
of Barnumtown. Prayer was offered
by Charles N Frenkton of the Friends
church. A duet by two ladies was next,
followed by an original poem by Mrs.
E. w. Meader. George E. Stone, jr., a
young lawyer of Vergennes, whose
parents lived in Monkton, was the first
speaker. Then E. H. Palmer, the town
treasurer, took the chair. He invited
the large audience into the open, and
the seats were all carried out. Els
worth Lawrence of Malone, N. Y, gave
the next address. He is a lawyer whose
home was formerly in Monkton. Both
speakers dwelt on the early settlement
by the town pioneers who came from
Connecticut and elsewhere, some with
oxsleds, others carrying their belongings
on their backs guided by blazed trees
through the dense forests and across the
mountains to establish homes in the
wilderness. 1t vas uncertain whether
they first located in Barnumtown or on
this beautiful ridge, and thus the hardy
yoemanry were produced, who took the
name of the "Green Mountain Boys"
President John M. Thomas of Middle
bury college was the next speaker. He
held his audience spellbound. He told
of the weeds he saw on his way from
home as an illustration of what was
needed to bring our State tt a higher
state of cultivation. Book farming a
few years ago was sneered at, he said,
but now it becomes necessary to have
agriculture taught in our schools. He
paid a compliment to the State by say
ing it had sent more men into public life
than other States according to the NUM-
Der of inhabitants. Samuel Miles of
this place (the oldest one present with
n exception was the last speaker.
He alluded to the need of more produc-
tive farming, not only to add to the
value of the domain, but because the
churches cannot be supported in rural
localities without an increase in the
productiveness of the soil. And also
that if the drinking habits were done
away with, the future prosperity of the
town would be assured. The speaker
said that the three churches established
in the 18th century were the Methodist,
Baptist and Friends.

a Painter

is apt to think that his interest lies with
lead-and.oil paint.
No: it lies with a better paint than
that it lies with a paint that costs no
more and outlasts a d-and.oil two to
one.
LEAD. and, oil is good for 3 years" is a
common saying. No, good lead.and-oil
is good for 3 years.
A good job of Devoe is as good for G

What! Does a painters interest lie
with a paint that cuts his business in
half?
Yes; for it doubles it too. If enc
painters paint lasts twice as long as
another's, who gets the business in that
town?
DEVOE.

The Essence of Drama.

Augustus Thomas can Indicate charac-
ter with a crayon and drawing paper as
well as with speech and action In a
play. When the author of the new
drama, when It Comes Home" talks
Of bodybuilding he is apt to take up
the crayon- See" he says. there are
three types OF mind-the craftsman type
that draws in fiat outline; the painter
type, that seeks more breadth and depth
by means Of color; and the sculptor type
that creates a complete and round OBJ
5eet. Each type Icses something that
the other possesses. The sculptor has
not the breadth for instance of the
painter. He has. however, greater vivid
ness and vitality.
These types correspond very closely
to the lyric, the epic and the dramatic
poets-to the reporter, the novelist and
the dramatist Tho first would see a
face In outline; the second in color and
the third In high-llghts."
Here Mr.. Thomas sketches with bril-
liant freedom the half dozen deep
shadows that can suggest complete
face.
There" he says, sis. to my mind,
dramatic details left out, the strong
things suddenly and effectively done, the
rest trusted to the Imagination"

tertained the graduates and faculties
last week Of the many girls colleges
and seminaries Of Washington. Miss
Louise A. Williams. of Georgia, was IN
vited to supply the place on the Pro-

groes who live about here Southern

The darky who learned his lessons
Of the original school is fast passing
away. The old "quahtahs'' he once oc-
cupied are falling down, and 1t Is now
only from the remnant Of the faithful
old negroes who are left in every South
ern family that the Southern grown-up
baby has caught the sweetness and
charm Of those old days Def de wah.
But somehow these old songs and stories
Of "mammy" OF the colored quarters,
and "auntie" and uncle and their folk
lore has a fascination that will live
for years to come.
Miss Williams is a pretty Southern girl
Of brunette type. she was dressed In
becoming style of the SOS and with her
pink full dress with many ruffies, her
reticule and SASH her large hat with
pink roses and black velvet strings. with
her dark curls peeping out underneath
the lacy brim. she looked q picture come
to life and stepped out of some rare
old miniature.
Herself a Southern girl, Miss Williams
gave evidence Of an intimate knowledge
Of her subject, portraying the bandan-
naed black 'mammy' Of far gone days
that ebony monument OF affection-and
the Uncle Remus'' types of old
''uncles'' with a sincerity and charm
that was extremely winsome.

Tribute to George Arliss.

"Disraeh," gave expression to the holi-
day spirit by playing the host at q dinner

possible the success Of the mechanical
part Of the production. Recently. the
stage hands retailated- They learned that
April 10 was the forty-third anniversary
Of Mr.. Arliss' birth. and they got him a
fine brass stand for his dressing room and
a handsome silver mirror, and something
the actor prizes even more, set resolu-
tions explaining in just what esteem Mr..
Arliss Is held by the boys. And beneath
the sentiments, each man wrote his name.
and the whole was framed, and presented
to the actor at the end OF the matinee,
and Mr.. Arliss started to thank the fell
lows-but his voice broke rather oddly
all OF a sudden and he went rather hur-
Eiedly to his dressing ROOM
