WAS PROMINENT UNIvERSALIST
Joel Blackmer, Who Died Recently in
Stockbridge of Paralysis.

Joel Blaekmer, a prominent farmer
and churcbman, of Stockbridge, died of
paralysis, at his home in that town last
Saturday evening, aged so years, after
long illness. He spent most of his life
there and will be greatly missed. He was
trustee of the Vermont Universalist
convention at the time of his death, and
was one of the most influential men in
the councils of that denomination. He
was active in town affairs and had filed
many Offices. A brother. the late Lucien
B,ackmer, was the founder of the Black
mer school for girls in Toxic, a mission
school of Universalism. Mr.. Blackmer
is survived by a -lughter, Mrs. Alvin
NJ. Smith, OF Wlliamstown, and two
sons, DR.. Rollin Blackmer OF st. Louis,
Mo-, and Julius d. Blackmer OF Stock
bridge. The funeral was held at the
home Tuesday at one o'clock.

that spirit by kept alive coupled with
the understanding that active particpa-
ton is necessary in the days observ.
ance, than by beginning now to invite
the school children to march with the
veterans and to take part in the public
exercises? The children who participate
to-day, or considerable percentage OF
them, win be mindful of their duty when
they are grown to manhood and woman
hood; and hence the observance of Me-
mortal day will not suffer even though
the veterans of the Civil war may have
departed this earth. For that reason
the active participation by school chill
dren in many Vermont celebrations last
Friday is an example to be commended
to every other community.

inscription painted on lawn signs which
have been distributed over the city hall

IL remember conversation that
heard in ferry boat coming back from
some pleasure beach. A young woman
was saying in deep disgust to her es-
cort:
Jerry Dowell isn't tight wad; he
wouldn't take you TO no fifty-cent shore
dinner. Never less than dollar or a
dollar and half does he pay
AT which the honest looking young
man blushed deeply, but had nothing to
say for himself, as he had evidently
been guilty of the fifty-cent shore din

There again you have in high de-
gree the measuring of your value at not
the essential enjoyment but the amount
of money spent, wrong idiotic attitude
of mind which prevents person from
enjoying unless the enjoyment has been
from their point of view a costly one.
This form OF extravaganza between
young people destroys their instinct for
thrift; destroys their instinct for sheer
eompanionship and the simple pleasures,
like the JOY Of fine day and pleasant
walka chance, in fact. to enjoy each
ether.
They seem to feel that they must be
and hectically buying some
thing, eating something, moving, seeing
-dissipating, in other words; turning
the natural craving OF young people for
enjoyment and for love of each others
company into sordid and unworthy
thing, making this form OF courtship as
burdensome to the purse of young man
and as extrayagant as the form OF enter
tainment in a different walk of life
which prescribes that young man who
asks a young woman to the theatre must
buy the most expensive tickets, and flow
crs for her and her chaperon, and must
provide a carriage both ways.

PUTTING CHILDREN IN MEMORIAL
DAY PROGRAMS.

One of the best features of the OBJ
servance of Memorial day in more than
one Vermont community was the par
ticipation of scores and hundreds OF
school children, both in the parade and
in the exercises of the day. Several ac-
counts of celebrations already at hand
tell of this participation and of the
marked vigor and spirit with which the
children did their part. 1t is a good
thing and a feature to be encouraged.
The state of Vermont has made patriotic
exercises in the public schools compul
sorry, and just before Memorial day
school work is suspended for a short
time so that suitable exercises can be
held, during which the school children
are addressed on patriotic devotion to
their country or some subject closely al
lied to that. That, too, is a provision
that deserves commentator. But par
ticipation in the public memorial exer-
cises goes little further; il teaches the
school children, besides the lesson Of
patriotism, the sacrifice Of thousands Of
men who went into the Civil war to de-
fend their country, and it inculcates
in their minds the need for public mani
festation Of the nations thankfulness
for that service. As year after year
passes and the actual knowledge Of the
great conflict recedes until the war be
comes only remembered through book
information. a fine spirit OF patriotism

In spite of all the hue and cry against
the lobby in Washington, it is certain
that lobby, rightly conducted, is quite
essential to the enactment of just laws,
for the reason that many lawmakers
go to Congress, or to Legislatures, ignor-
ant of the special subjects about which
they are called to legislate and must be
informed concerning all sides of the con-
troversies before they are in a position
to act fairly to all concerned, There
fore, an honest lobby is not a terrible

RANDOLPH
Henry L. Grant Committed Suicide by
Taking Strychnine.


Henry L. Grant, farmer living on
Fish hill, committed suicide on Monday
afternoon by taking strychnine. Mr..
Grant assisted his wife in the family
washing in the forenoon and soon after
dinner left the house ana about
o'clock was seen by his wife going into
an upper field Nothing further was
thought OF this till the call for supper
when the hired help returned and Mr..
Grant was not with them. Search was
at once made, and he was found by Mrs.
Grant in the loft OF the henhouse, seat
ed on the floor, dead. Beside him lay
his pipe. and the bottle which had con-
tanned the poison. Eight years ago Mr..
Grant came here from Washington,
where he owned farm on which some
of the buildings were struck by light
ming and burned. Not thinking it adj
yisable to rebuild, he came here and
bought the farm, on which he has lived
since that time. For years he had been
in poor health, the result OF diabetes,
and three years ago was Obliged to have
enc reg aWputdleu neCauss oI an uiSei,
caused by this disease. For weeks he
had not been as well as usual and had
not been able to sleep much nights. It
il thought that the dread Of trouble
with his other leg, and his sight, which
was failing, from which he feared blind
ness, was the cause OF his rash act,
Mr.. Grant was a successful farmer, and
an honorable man, one whose word was
and he was respected in
tire community. He Is survived by his
wife, one son. Fred Grant, who lives in
town, and daughter, Mrs. Nerna Waite,
