About Barre.

billboard likeness of "The Nativity
is To be shown at the corner of North
Main. and Cottage streets and at the
Barre railroad crossing on South Main
street during the Christmas season,
Cadv AveriIl yesterday spread a strik-
inc representation of the birth of Christ
on both boards. The picture is har-
monious combination OF II colors and
il wholly devoid of advertising. The
comics occupy the entire space on both
boards. Beneath each are the words
from Matthew Gall, "And when they
wore come into the house they saw the
Young Child with Mary, His Mother,
and thev fell down and worshipped
Him" Below the text is the following
appeal to children: "Ask your teacher to
tell YOU thes tory"
It is a convention picture of the first
Christmas at Bethlehem and is supplied
bv the Poster Advertising association,
which controls most of the billing sur
face in America. The association fur
nishes the prints gratuitously and they
are spread on the boards through the
generosity of the bill posters. During
the holiday month not one cent of rev
enue is derived from the boards. There
can be no stronger suggestion of the
Christmas tide than "The Nativity" and
already the pictures have compelled the
attention of many who would accord
hut a hurried glance at the more prosaic
billboard prints of commerce.

London, May % Father Vaughan
Tuesday night at Queens hall delivered
his lecture on What | Saw and Said
in America Father Vaughn said no
description of his could convey any idea
Of the courtesy, kindness and hospital
| ity that had been accorded to him all
the time he was in America from every
section OF the community, from the
president in the White House to the log
ger in the lumber camp, Such hospital
| ity, he was sure, there never was be-
fore. He had travelled thirty thousand
miles. and it would hardly be an exag-
geration to say that he had never paid
for a railway ticket or for a room in a
hotel. New York, he said, was a won
derful power house, where everything
enterprising and adventurous was propa-
gated 1t was a place where you could
not get old. You had to keep young.
When somebody wrote, IF you work
him as you are doing in New York we
shall have to meet him with a hearse,"
he replied, 'If | stay in New York much
longer they will have to meet me with
perambulator."
In conclusion, Father Vaughan said
many people write him asking wheth-
er he would recommend them to go to
America.
do | recommend the workingman to
90 OUT / recommend anybody to 60
out who goes with the determination
to take his coat off, roll up his sleeves,
put his back into the work and let the
sweat roll down. | recommend any man
to 90 out who is determined to make his
way and who is not going to give up
because things do not so well with him.
Persevere, 90 on, and in the end am
quite sure any man in America will
come out on top.
"0ne thing is certain, ! do not know |
any land on earth where in exchange |
for an honest days work you will get |
a finer living wage, | have come back |
from the United States feeling that in |
all the great things which really mat
ter there is very little difference between
any of us. We all have the same hopes,
the same sorrows, the same disappont
the same trials and troubles that I
have built up every mans life, no mat
ter what his position is on the social
ladder"
