Rev. Peter Black came here
from Gorham, Me-, four years ago
and has carried on his work here in
a most successful manner, doing
much for a congregation to which he
has greatly endeared himself. Dur

Brotherhood class now composed of
over so men which is a great factor
for good in the community. Through
his influence also the membership of
the church has increased until now
there are over 500 members. Mr..
Black has always been ready and will
ing not only to help his own parish
toner's, but also to do much good to
the community at large. He has
given freely of his time and best
efforts to the hetterment Of the town
and it is with real regret that the
people of St. Johnsbury bid farewell
to Mr.. Black and his family.
At the social and supper given in
the church parlors Tuesday evening
Mr.. and Mrs. Black we're the guests
of honor. An informal reception fol-
lowed at which time the members of
the congregation had an opportunity
to bid farewell to Mr.. and Mrs. Black.

as regular pastor of the North Con-

He and Mrs. Richards came here
from South Boston, where they were

STOLEN TROUSERS COST $500
And Then the Majesty sof the Law In
California Was Only Upheld
In Small Degree.

A puzzltng problem crops up every
now and then in various parts of the
country to vex the majesty of the
law 1t came up not long ago in Oak
land with new feature added. Brief
ly the facts are these, relates the Los
Angeles Examiner.
Some time ago youth stole pair
Of trousers hanging in an old tent.
For this he was arrested, convicted;
put on probation and confided to the
care of family in Berkeley. While
absent at work the. house was quar-
antmed by the board Of health on &C
count OF scarlet fever. Unable to en-
ter his home, the boy eloped with
himself to other scenesy finally turn
ing up in Florida. Upon hearing Of
his whereabouts the sheriff Of Alameda
was dispatched in hot haste to bring
the desperate villain back to the scene
of his awful crime against the peace,
dignity and wardrobe OF the state.
Here endeth the first chapter.
Chapter II is really narrowing. Re-
turning with the desperate in his GUS
tody, and nearing the end of the long
transcontinental journey, the sheriff
engaged in a prolonged discussion Of
sunspots and other phenomena with
lawyer on the train and became so ex-
hausted after the weighty delibera-
tions that he fell into a profound slum-
Der. When he awoke In the morning
it was to discover that the youthful
prisoner had again clipped in the night,
somewhere between this city and San
Francisco. And, as reported in Oak
land, the villain added injury to in
suit by clipping with the officers own
Sunday breeches.
The trousers first stolen were worth
$1.67. It cost Alameda county more
than $500 to accomplish the recovery
Of the desperate who stole the pants.
and the sheriff got him only three
fourths back at that. And now comes
the vexing problem:
II pair of secondhand pants cost
Alameda county $500, what would
whole new suit cost?

The Hospital.

Slowly, but none the less sure
ly, the funds for the addition to
the Hospital building is growing,
and now the amount necessary to.
be raised before the work is UNI
dertaken is we'll nigh in sight.
The Rouss family, always to
the fore in public benefaction,
has placed the co1i1munity under
renewed obligations by their
splendid contribution to this
most worthy object.
On December 10th, 1918, Mr..
Peter Winchester Rouss, wrote
to the Treasurer Of the Charles
Town General Hospital making
a contribution of $4,000 towards
the new building. On June 18th,
1914. after his return from abroad,
Mr.. William w. Rouss wrote
mailing donation of $4,000, in
addition to the $500 he had all
ready contributed, this latter sum
going to the original purchase
fund Several weeks ago the
Misses McCurdy sent a contribu-
tion of $500, and on Tag Day the
young ladies collected some eigh-
ty dollars, which makes a grand
total of $500 now available.
When the Building Committee
shall have in hand the minimum
sum of $4,000, the building con-
tract, although with the equip
ment the building will cost con-
siderably more than this sum,
will Immediately be placed.
It is hoped thai. the remaining
sum to make the building a GER
tainty, will be donated at once.
so that the good work may be
started.
Too much praise cannot beagiv-
en- to the good women who have
worked with feryency and zeal
for the furtherance Of this splen-
did charity, which has already
done untold good. and which with
more room and modern hospital
facilities will be of increased use
fulness to the Community it
serves.
Who will put the cap stone on
the new building by contributing
the ST 500 now needed?

No War On Big Business.

President W ilson speaks for the sane
and representative element of the ma
ton, no less than of the Democratic
party, when he explicitly disclaims any
intention to war on big business any
enmity to or suspicion of men based
on the simple fact that they have been
connected with big business. He
took the Jones and Warburg nomina-
tions to the reserve board as a text.
But he might as well have selected any
other allied incident, of the past few
years.
For decade the country has been
shattered with sad lot of buncombe
about so-called ''big business. +" Dema-
gogues have told US from Dan to Beer
sheba that bigness was prima facie
evidence of cFookedness IN business;
that the moment man began to achieve
success on a large scale suspicion should
attach to him.
Another expensive fallacy has been
the idea. in some fugitive quarters. that
popularity and votes could be gained by
batting ''big business" without hurting
little bushes" or prosperity generally
That delusion has been exploded with
thud. Every American with the least
pretension to intelligence knows now
that the prosperity of business, wheth-
er it is big or little. is inseparable from
the prosperity Of the country in gener-
al; that the influences which promote
prosperity with one, promote it with
the other and vice versa.
Unfortunately, there fingers in some
directions the hallucination that the
short cut to political prestige lays in
flaying business. It is well that the
President should rebuke this tendency,
and put the party squarely onrecord as
against it.-Atlanta Constitution.

The Bass Fishing.

Bass fishermen are taking advantage
of the clear water ip the upper Poto
mac and Shenandoah rivers and having
more sport than usual. Plenty of large
fish have been caught during the past
week or ten days, aud anglers have
every reason to expect continuance
of the sport
Several FIVE Founders were caught
during the past week, and Wilder P,

landed one that weighed one ounce over
five pounds.
z And SO anxious was he to have the
catch made a matter of record, stated
w. W. Martin of Mountain View Ho-
tel, that he had its weight attested
before a notary public. :
Between the river and the notary s
Office. however, the fish lost one ounce
in weight.
There are plenty large bass in both
rivers near Harpers Ferry, stated the
successful angler, and all that is nee
essary is to know the locations Of the
holes and use big bait.
IF you want big fish he advised,
you must have large bait
The angler has done considerable
fishing in the vicinity Of Harpers Ferry
for fully twenty FIVE years he states.
and he thinks the fish are about as
plentiful there as they are in any other
part of the river. Washington Star.

Where Tightwads Err.

1t ought to be easy to tell the differ
encel between thrift and stinginess.
But many folks don't know it. No
tightwad does.
A thrifty man is always liberal
man, though not wasteful one. When
he spends dollar his face dosen't show
spaems of pain nor does he tremble
with avarice until his dollar returns,
leading another dollar of profit.
He spends intelligently and therefore
willingly, and is content to await the
outcome because he knows that in the
long run he will get back from society
about in proportion as he goes.
As with Individuals so with commu-
mites, states, nations. Economy doesn't
mean parsimony. 1t means when and
how to be liberal 1t means having
foresight.
For example, take the case of Wis
consin's justly famous University. It
is costing lot Of money and the tight
wads are worrying. Instead of seeing
how every penny of this outlay is bring
ing dollars, direct and indirect profit
direct in multiplied crop yields, better
industrial methods, more efficient citi
zenship, indirect in a million fine by
products. they are plotting how to.
hobbie the institutions growth and
how to extract more tuition out of
students from other states.
Upon this issue Wisconsin's voters
must soon pass whether graciously 10
serve the cause of freedom and enjoy
both the prestige and profits Of leader
ship or to be narrow. stingy and mean.
Looks plair, doesn't it p Exchange.
