There are scores OF men in Cairo

achievements, but we have not hith-
erto stopped thoughtfully enough to
count the human cost, the cost Of
lives snuffed out, of energies over
taken and broken, the fearful physi
cal and spiritual cost to the men
and women and children upon whom
the dead weight and burden OF it all
has fallen pitilessly the years
through. The groans and agony OF
it all had not yet reached our ears,
the so emn, moving undertone OF our
life, coming up out of the mines and
factories and out Iof every home
where the struggle had its intimate
and familiar seat With the great
| government went many deep secret
! things which we too long delayed to
look into and scrutinize with candid
fearless eyes. The great government
we loved has often been made use OF
for private and selfish purposes, and
those who used it had forgotten the
people.
At last a vision has been vouch-
safed us of our life as a whole.
We see the bad with the good, the
debased and decadent with the sound
and vital. With this vision we APP
proach new affairs. Our duty is to
cleanse, reconsider, to restore, 10
correct the evil without impairin2

The bosses OF Cairo are few and

taxpayers as they could to do the
wishes of the bosses and those WHO
would not be driven were won BIZ
subterfuge.
The bosses have ridden the people

auditorium Saturday night and furnish
ed excellent entertainment for a large
audience. There was no matinee per
Torrance. but on the assurance of Man
ager George Z. Fox that patrons would
see some fine moving pictures the crowd
waited while the films and those con
nected with their operation, who were
coming from White River Junction,
went around through Keene to South
Vernon and thence to Brattleboro.
/ The show started about $50 and last
/ ed until midnight, and as usual there
were no dull moments or undressing
pictures The funny pictures were un-
usually funny, those of an educational
character were of an exceptionally high
order of merit, and several real thrill
ers were shown, like the dynamiting Of
q mountain and the experiences OF pan
ic-stricken occupants Of a house with
an escaped ferocious lion. Infantry
and cavalary drills at Culver military
academy were presented in one very
interesting reel. Some ''sWeIl Par

millinery appealed especially to thu

Oyster farming under from thirty to
sixty feet of water is conducted upon
an enormous scale, with great expense

formerly grew III creeks and estuaries,
where they were somewhat in danger

Given by Rev. Mr.. Houghton.


The first of Rev Z. NJ. Houghtou :.
new series Of four stereopticon lee
lures in the Congregational church
was given last night and a good-sized
congregation was present. Rev. Mr..
Houghton stated ut the outset that
the series might be extended beyond
four, but that only that number had
been decided upon. The lecture was
prepared by Rev. DIR. {. II. Patton, a
secretary of the American Board, and
the views, which were exceptionally
interesting. were taken by him.
The Warlike Iulus was the subject
considered, and the pictures showed
the natives i'll their savage and civil
lied state in southern Africa, portray
ed some OF their customs and peculi-
arities and gave glimpse of some
beautiful scenery and prosperous COM
mercial centres. The late Rev. Louis
Grout Of this town was one of the
early missionaries among the Zulus,
and it was with them in South Africa
that the active years of his life were
spent.
