(Continued from First Page) MIR. FERGUSON'S FUNERAL

"insurrectionists" determined to nomi- nate Theodore F. Watson for representa- tive, while the old regulars had decided upon the late Henry J. Mead. On the first informal ballot there was no choice, but the strength shown by the young democrats so alarmed the old-liners that they dropped Mead and substituted the name of William J. Ferguson, without consulting him, with the expectation that this course would win his son, Irv- ing, over to their side and thus break the back of the insurrection. It was a severe test for the son, but he stood firm and encouraged his men to stand firm, and the result was that Watson was nominated. Under any other con- ditions MT. Ferguson would have been nominated unanimously, as his sterling integrity and patriotic loyalty conn., manded universal respect.
 He was quiet, unassuming gentle man, whose word was as good as his bond, and beloved and respected by all with whom he ever came into contact.

Finding a Market for Your Musical
Abilities.

| In the December Woman's Home Com
panion Anna Steese Richardson writes
an article entitled Money Making from
Music" 1t is the first of new series
of practical talks to business girls. Fol-
lowing is an extract telling how one girl
found market for her musical abilities.
1T is all matter of finding the mar
ket for musical training.
"'Ehis was done by a graduate OF a
well-known New York conservatory.
When she returned to her home town
in Vermont she realized that the field
was well worked by established teachers
who would fight the progress of girl
they had once taught. She considered an
offer to teach beginners at the eonserya-
tory from which she had graduated and
decided in favor OF pioneer work. When
her classmates heard that she had ac-
cepted position as teacher of music in
a southern agricultural high school To-
Gated in town Of less than five hundred
souls they thought she had gone crazy.
But she had talked with the energetic
young principal of the school and had
planned her campaign She found a town
that knew two forms OF music--hymn
tunes and popular songs as offered once
a week at the moving picture theatre.
She started by .reyiying interest in folk
songs of the south. When the tiftieth an
niversary of notable battles in the Civil
war rolled round she gave programs OF
patriotic music. The entire population
foeked to her musical evenings in the
splendid assembly room of the high
school. She began to tell about the men
and women who had written the music
which she sung and played.
"Those among the townspeople and
farmers-for an agricultural high school
Is always the center of a rich farming
district-who had old pianos had them
tuned and sent their children to take les
sons. Those who had no pianos began to
save toward buying them. In the mean
time those who could afford it had their
children take lessons and the principal
arranged system OF practice hours on
the school piano The young woman
who had taken up this pioneer work
cleared over three hundred dollars on
her years work and declared that the
musical awakening of that entire dis
triet was greater education to her
than a year of work in New York ever
could have been"

Buying Christmas Presents in Homeburg.

In the December American Magazine
George Fitch, the Illinois funny man."
writes an amusing piece entitled, "Christ.
mas at Homeburg." Following is an ex-
tract:
There aren't enough people in Home
burg to make Christmas jam, but we
have our own line of troubles. The
question in Homeburg is not how to keep
from spending so much money, but how
to spend what we have. The storekeep-
ers don't pamper us. In fact, they are
severe with MS. If we don't buy what
they offer the first year, they store it
up and we have to take it the next
Christmas. When the Homeburg store
keepers have had bad season, it's up
to us to go back the next year and face
the same old line of junk, knowing it
will be there until we give in and buy
it. There are two Christmas gift edi-
ton copies of Trilby still on sale in
Homeburg, and Dorling the druggist has
had a $40 manicure set on sale for 10
years now. He won't get another, eth.
er. Says he was stung on the first one
and he's going to get his money back
before he goes in any deeper. II goes
down about so cents year in price,
and last year Steve Larson almost
bought it at S4,75 for Selma Snood. We
have hopes of him this year-unless he
and Selma quarrel or get married, either
of which will be fatal"

to Secure Estate.

st. Johnsbury, Dec. l2.--In Caledonia
county court, the case of Alexander Blair
VS.. the estate of Alexander Blair apt
was announced settled. The case was
remarkable one. Alexander Blair it,,
lived for many years as son of Mr..
and Mrs, Alexander Blair in Barnet. He
lived with his supposed father and
mother until he was 35 years old when
Alexander Blair died and the young man
supposed he would inherit sons share
Of the estate. But then it was an
nounced that Alexander, jr, was not
the child of Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander
Blair, but boy Mrs. Blair had adopted
and passed as her own. Alexander
Blair's estate went to his brothers and
sister. Alexander Blair, jr. then asked
for compensation from the time he was
Fl years old until the death of his sup
posed father, which was not allowed.
The terms OF the settlement were not
made public.
