VERMONT'S GRAND OLD MAN.

The Rutland Herald under date of
November "a contains the following:
Vermont's grand old man, oldest liv-
ing governor, and Middlebury's most
distinguished living citizen, former gov
ernor and ex-U. S. Senator John w.
Stewart will be SO years old tomorrow.
Though living on borrowed time" ac-
cording to the statisticians, the governor
is by no means an ''old man" as he
figures experience, age, etc. Tonight
when asked if he had any message to
his legion of friends tomorrow, on his
birthday, Governor Stewart said that
he had nothing particular to say unless
it was to mention that he has taken up
bridge whist.
Gov. Stewart asked the Herald to

OF IMPORTANCE TO VERMONT.

VI lMI OD 1 ANIL ~ LRMO4N L
The sessions of the State horticul-
tural society, concluded last evening
in this city, were of great interest and
Importance to the progress of the
State in an agricultural sense. Although
most of the topics dealt with orchards
from the standpoint of the specialist,
there was abundant material for profit
in them for the dairy farmer and for the
farmer with diversified crops in par
ticular.
The apples of Vermont, for instance,
were given a showing in the hall of
the convention which suggested, not
the haphazard but toothsome windfall
of the old home orchard, but the spec
ialzed output of Oregon, Idaho, Mon
tana and Washington, with the memoir
able and unapproachable Vermont flavor
added.
Horticulture in Vermont must be
something of science if a farmer in
tends to depend upon it for his sole
iISOilSt DulJ 90 Niio paper IhOb-
sands of others have urged for years,
the one-crop farmer is always at dis
advantage with all his eggs in one
basket.
1t is rather as profitable and pleas
ant addition to the general-purpose
farm that the orchard is likely to reach
its greatest usefulness in Vermont.
Incidentally, the meeting developed
the fact that even the experts in ap-
pie growing find plenty of problems
in Vermont horticulture. some of
which ought to be brought to the at
tenton of the experts of the depart
ment of agriculture in Washington.
Vermont can grow the best apples
in the world, but there are some things
that the experts can tell us about it.
The recent convention brought some
of the most practical into direct
touch with the people and the problems.

extend his compliments of the season
to his friends and to say that though he
has passed the four score mile stone
and nearly reached half another score of
years he is enjoying excellent health.
Gov. Stewart returned tonight from
several weeks visit with his daughter
in Detroit, Mich, being accompanied by
his son, Philip b. Stewart of Colorado
Springs, Colo.
John Wolcott Stewart, former gov
ernor and United States senator, was
born in Middlebury on November "a,
1925, the son of Ira and Elizabeth
(HubbelD Stewart. He was educated
in the old Middlebury academy and at
Middebury college, graduating from
the latter institution.
Four years before he left college he
married Emma Battell, daughter of
Philip Battel, and granddaughter of
Hon. Horatio Seymour. He read law
in the office of Mr. Seymour and was
admitted to the Vermont bar and begun
practice in Middlebury in 1850. In
1854 he formed partnership with the
late U. S. Senator Phelps which con-
tinued until the death of the latter in
1885.
In 1853 Mr.. Stewart became a director
of the Middlebly bank and for several
years prior to 1881 was its president.
He has always been staunch Repub-
lican, from 1852 to 1854 was States at
torney for Addison county. In the
Legislature of 1856, 81, ga, '65, '66
and 81 he represented Middlebury,
serving as speaker in the last three
terms. In 1861 and 1862 he served as
senator from Addison county and from
/ 1870 to 1872 was governor, being the
first to be elected for a two-year term
In 1876 he was returned from Middle
bury as a member of the lower branch
of the General Assembly and from 1882
to 1888 was a member of Congress from
the first Vermont district. On the death
of u. S. Senator Redfield Proctor he
was appointed to fill out the unexpired
term by Gov. Fletcher d. Proctor.
40 interesting incident of Gov.
Stewards public life is connected with
his service in the Legislature of 1876.
In October of that year he was in
New York and did not arrive at Mont
pelier until the Legislature had con-
vened and the roll of the house was
being called. Gov. Stewart found his
way to a seat which had been reserved
by friend and ten minutes after his ar
rival he had been chosen speaker of the
House on the first ballot, his republican
opponent having only few votes.
When Gov. Stewart becomes remi-
iniscent he refers to the part he played
in the republican convention which NOM
mated President Lincoln in 1856. He
says that he was the Original"
Lincoln man. For 55 years he has been
trustee of Middlebury college and
while a student of the institution was a
charter member of the local Chi Psi
chapter. He is planning to spend most
of the winter at his home in this vii

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1914.
PRESIDENT THOMAS AND PEACE.

President John M. Thomas OF Mid
dlebury college has made many nota-
BILE utterances on public matters, but
none has ever been more timely or
appropriate than his Sunday evening
address in the First Congregational
church of Burlington, when the burden
of his sermon was: Let us hav peace.
The Herald has received direct testi
mony from its readers of the warm
est appreciation for the wisdom and
value of that utterance. A Rutland
reader and subscriber Of the Herald
whites thus
"If more men of influence would
take this sensible and just stand and
express themselves accordingly there
would be fewer distracted business
men, worried investors, large and
small, fewer men out of employment
and a shorter bread line.
Doctor Thomas spoke on the Ish-
maelite, taking as his subject the son
of Hagar, who fulfilled the prophecy
of Genesis, 1912, which reads thus
"And he will be a wild man; his
hand will be against every man, and
every mans hand against him..
This sort of man." said Doctor
Thomas, lis not the saint we most
need just now to venerate. We need
rather to get together and be brother
ly." Getting down to practical bust
s. ,oL
dent of our neighboring institution of.
learning is we'll qualified to speak,
he became specific and declared the
Ishmaelite was not needed in our pres
ent crisis:
1--WE have had enough muck raking
and corporation batting and attempts
to stir class hatred and social an
tagonism. Let us have peace.
The people of Vermont, of all
classes and all parties, are patriotic
and sincerely DESTROYS of the general
good. The large business enterprises
of this State are not managed by
thieves and robbers. The bankers
know that they can prosper only
when prosperity is general, and are
willing to conduct their business &C
cordingly. The men who have attained
eminence at the bar of Vermont are
not traitors to her interests.
These are golden words, coming
from the conviction of a great educa-
tor who realizes that there can be
no forward movement in Vermont
schools and co leges unless Vermont
business prospers; that there can be
no prosperity without peace; that
there can be no peace unless the Ish-
maelite in public life is tanned and
there is big, strong pull for Yer
mont business, Vermont schools, and
Vermont progress. The Herald calls
particular attention to the doctors
peroration:
LET US have peace. Let US curb
the Isemaelte in our Green Mountain
blood, and stand together, each for
the welfare of all, and all for the well
fare of each"
That sentiment might we'll be en-
graved in letters of brass and hung in
every church, every school and col
lege, every place of public assemblage.
and every business office of Vermont.
1t might very properly head every
editorial page from now until the as
sembly of the Legislature and be dis
played in characters of weight and
portent in every State document is
sued from Montpelier meanwhile.
Let us have legislative, executive,
industrial and business peace, even
though the whole world be at war.

The Story Of Eineffe
part I'D

Now, my dearies, / shall tell you
what happened at the Bell home after
Arty had gone out in the rain and
dark to buy chocolates. When supper
was ready Mama Bell said to Dorine
"Call Arty to supper, Dear" And
Dorine ran into the sitting room and
looked all around, and into the hall,
and up the stairs, and down into the
basement, and called his name over
and over again ever so many times /;
but Arty did not answer nor could she
find him; and then Dorine began to
cry because she thought something
dreadful had happened to her little
brother.
Finette, who had been lying asleep
on her mat back of the stove jumped
up at this moment and began to run
about and bark; and then Papa and
Mama Bell began hunting for Arty too
and calling his name quite loudly. They
even looked out on the front porch
and on the lawn, but of course Arty
was not there.
Quite suddenly Dorine called to her
papa and mama who were standing
talking earnestly together in the hall:
SCome on the porch quickly, and look
at Finette; / believe she could find
Arty."
Papa and Mama Bell hurried out on
the porch, and there was Finette run
ming up and down the wet gravelled
walk with her nose to the ground
shifting and barking.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-09-12

"Why, | do believe she could find
him." exclaimed Mama Bell. Come
here, Finnette."
F'inette ran to Mama Bell and
whined and wagged her tail excitedly
eco and find Arty, Finette," said
Mama Bell, and STOPPING down she
patted Finette's pretty spotted head
then Finette ran and put her paws up
on the gate which was her way of say
ing, LET me out and will find him. y
SO they opened the gate and let her
out and away she ran down the street
ever so fast with her nose on the wet
sidewalk; and Papa Bell put on his
big rain coat and took a lighted Ian
tern and followed her.
Up one street and down another ran
Finette; first east and then west and
then north and then south-always
with her nose to the sidewalk; and
after her went Papa Bell with his Ian
tern.
Now Dearies, this is all l can tell
you about Finette until next week;
then | shall tell you where Finette
found Arty. Don't forget to send me
some stories of your very own for
shall be looking for them and will
print them in our Storytelling Club,
and send you a fine post card which
will make you a member of the club.

The Old Fashioned Mother.

Apropos of the joys of old fash
Toned motherhood and the old fash
Toned home-a discussion of which
has stirred New York to the depths
of late, according to the Washington
Star, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
said:
"A man was talking to me about
the old fashioned mother myth
about the idiocy of cracking up the
times when a mother was an old,
bent wrinkled wreck at 40.
"'Dear old motherp he said, with
fine irony. Dear old mother, I'll
never forget how she used to rock
us children to sleep. There were IL

of comparative neatness and / was
prepared TO learn that she had hang
ers for her clothes and certain hooks
on which to put certain frocks!
When you come to examine this
habit of orderliness from the stand
point of the time it takes | think
you will find that it demands less
leisure and labor than the custom of
permitting everything to get messy be-
fore restoring cleanliness and neat
ness.
A few weeks ago | missed pair of
little curtains from one of the win
dows and on inquiry found that the
maid had washed them out and was
pressing them off. She explained her
course.
"They got dirty before the others
did because that window is open more
than the other windows, and | thought
I'd just rub them out instead of wait
ing until l had to wash them all" she
said.
That is the sort of thing l mean.
You recognize its value in many
places. You would not wish your
room to get in a hopeless state of
dirt and dust before you touched it
with a broom. On the contrary, you
run carpet sweeper over it in the
morning, just as you take dust pan
and brush to the corners.

Smiles
BY Omar w. Russell, Casnoyia, Mich.

AS | think of smiles, | think of the
poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Laugh and the world laughs with you;
y Weep and you weep alone"
These two lines of this sweet poem
gives the true sentiment of smiles in
life.
If one smiles, it is a comparison to
the bright sunshine giving its radiance
earthward. Every smile forms a ra-
dance that cannot be obliterated by
clouds. Clouds float so gently over
us often obscuring the sun from our
gaze and clouds are just as prevalent
obscuring the radiance of our smiles.
The first is one of the great plans Of
nature, but the clouds obscuring the
facial CLEANS should be banished. Let
the sunshine be prevalent in our faces,
and the facial beams of joy will pene-
trate the countenances of our friends
and in this way the world laughs with
US. How much better to be in the
throng of Joy makers, than to be
weeping alone on life's great highway.
Wear the smile that will not come off
and %hen some dark shadow comes
vstealing over you, just let 1T pass on,
like the great clouds pass over the
suns rays, then after it has gone, let
the smiles overflow in overwhelming
measure.
Let de sun shine, chile;
And blow away dem frowns;
Bring back de smiles,
Clothed in radiant gowns.
Let de clouds pass over;
Show us de blue sky;
