most generous and charitable of our
good women. She was supremely
gracious and kind. Hundreds of the
citizens of Union City from time to
time have cause to remember her
kindness, the bereaved husband and
family her devotions, the tender
tributes of a loving heart and the
beautiful ministrations of pure and
noble soul.
God gave us our good mothers.
They are heaven born, angels of
mercy, harbingers of peace The
child clings to it's mothers bosom,
and mother love, as boundless as the
sea, encompasses it's entire being and
impresses it's life as nothing else can
do. AS we live on these impressions
possess our souls and bring us back
to the shrine of mothers heart.
There are no other lessons so sweet
and pure
So when the orms were bent
with age and the hearts with care,
the noble sons of this good mother
and her noble husband erected them
a home with many of the comforts
and blessings of life. This monu-
ment to their love came to them in
the evening of life, but in the
strength of affection, and the pass
ing away of the sainted woman car
ried with it the witness of Gods
love in the hearts of these dear chill
dren.
So passes in memory fond and
true the good mother and wife, one
of the noblest women of Union City.
Services were held at the resi-
dence Tuesday morning, conducted
by Rev. Roger L. Clark, of this city, |

Benefit Performance.

The Francis Airdome gave benefit
for the Methodist ladies last Wednesday
night. Besides the regular program of
pictures there we're several interesting
numbers by local talent. Fred Lam
Ter, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Lancer,
rendered violin selection, with Miss
Louise Adams as accompanist. The
young man began last September and
has made some very remarkable strides
with the violin. His playing was in all
respects worthy of a much older student.
Miss Mary Dahnke appeared with one
of her popular reading numbers. Miss
Dahnke has already established herself
in high favor with our people for her
interpretative work. She is indeed &C
complished and the Union City people
are proud of her.
Miss Talbot, guest of Miss Virginia
Swiggart in the city, favored the audi
ence with song number. The young
woman has deep, rich mezzo-soprano
voice with power and under delightful
control and her number was rare treat.
Miss Kathleen Hinson, of St. Louis,
was one of the entertainers. She is a
visitor in the home of DIR. and Mrs. G.
W. Miles in the city and kindly con-
sented to sing on this occasion. She has
voice particularly sweet and charm
ing, with resonance and ample carrying
power and her contribution to the even
ing was distinct triumph.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris are to be kindly
remembered by the ladies for their kind
ness and courtesy. The audience re-
manned thru the whole program and
left with delightful impressions of the

JOSEPH A. DEBoER AN EXAMPLE

The critical condition of Joseph
Arend DeBoer, of Montpelier, has
turned the attention Of Vermonters to
q consideration of this man who has
played such prominent part in the
life Of the state for many years past.
And there is in his life something that
is worthy, not of the attention Of Yer
monters alone, but Of the whole coun-
try just at this time when one of the
most serious of all the many serious
questions with which we have been

vided by sentiments and allegiances
which are held in higher esteem than
the sentiment for, and the allegiance

refers % the foreign-born part Of the
population, and the part represented
by the natiye-born Of foreign parents.
1t is a considerable part of our popu-
lation and this fact elevates the prob
lem out of the academic class into one
of stern realities.
Now, Joseph Arend DeBoer is not a
native Of Vermont, nor Of the United
States, for that matter. He was born
in Europe, in Warfum, province Of
Groningen. Holland Nor did he leave
his native town before he had attained
that age when he nigh. be expected to
have formed a love and attachment
for the customs and traditions Of his
native country, for he began his edu-
cation In the elementary schools Of
Warfum. But he came TO this country
in his youth and completed his educa-
tion in the public schools of Albany
and at Dartmouth College, Of which
institution he is reckoned as one Of
her most distinguished Of her many
distinguished sons.
