CLOSE OF SCHOOLS
Exercises Held Last Week-Presen.
tatiOn to c. W. Steele, Retiring
Member of School Board.

Graduating exercises of the pub
lie schools began on Wednesday eve
ming with a class of seven at st.
Johnsbury Center and concluded with
Ia graduating class of three at East
|St. Johnsbury Saturday evening.
Without exception the programs rend-
cred by the pupils were very excel
lent and well received by those who
were present. The attendance in all
cases was very large and showed the
interest which the parents and
friends take in the schools.
A very pleasing feature of the ex-
ercises at the Summer street school
was the presentation to Charles w.
Steele, the retiring member of the
school board, of a handsome stick
pin, by the other members of the
school board. This came as a COM
plete surprise to Mr.. Steele. The
members of the graduating class
showed their appreciation by rising
and giving three cheers and a tiger
after the presentation had been
made. Mr.. Steele responded in a few
well-chosen words.

In on It, all those who wanted to. The
presidentAof il was a boy. We were to
bring cake, sandwiches, pickles. fruits
and candy. We pupils were so happy
that We hardly ever had our lessons very
good. But tho night soon came and we
could hardly wait lest our teacher should
go down town and meet US. but It never
happened that way. When we came to
her house one boy knocked and she came
to the door. and we all yelled; "Surprisel
SURPRISED" Our teacher stood motionIess
for about ten seconds, and then she said /:
Come in. children"
We went In and took off our wraps
and went in the parlor and played games,
such as ''tin-tin," "chewing the string, .
telling jokes and riddles. About 10
O'Clock we had our supper It was very
good for hungry boys and girls AT 1880
we went home with happy hearts

up in the yard 70 dry so l could hull
them. One evening when ] came home
from school I saw that somo Of my nuts
were gone and ] thought that the boys
had been stealing them from me. so
kept watch. but could not find anyone
taking them. But they kept disappearing
until there was not many left. So /
picked them up and brought them In on
the porch. II was all screened In. and in
= little while found out who It was
that was taking my walnuts, as the SOUR
rels came climbing all over the porch and
tried to gnaw holes IN the screen so they
could get the rest OF the wainuts.

Lady" Beautiful Doll Goes
to a Little Orphan Grille

There's a mighty happy little girl out
at ST. James orphanage in Benson and
her name is Margaret King.
II just proves that a little girl can be
very happy even ~ she does live at an
orphanage and even IL her father has
gone away somewhere so that she never
sees him and even IL she does only see
her mamma once a week. every sunday
regularly as the day comes around. For
mamma works az the Paxton hotel all
week 10 support herself and little Mar
garet and Claire and Josephine since their
father went away"
Mrs M. b. King read in The Bee week
after week about little girls winning the
beautiful dolls that are given away for
the greatest number of doll pictures
clipped from The Bee each week And she
decided that ono of the dolls should go as
a token Of her love for her own little
ones out at the orphsnage
So she spoke 20 several friends and
asked them whether they would save some
of the pictures from their, copies of
The Bee.
Would they? Well, rather Not only
from their own Bees. but they would have
their children go 10 the neighbors and get
the pictures from their copies.
At the hotel Mrs. King enlisted the aid
of the maids and other employees and 1t
certainly was the "open season for Bee
doll pictures in the Paxton week before
last. Busy men and women OF large
affairs could be seen patiently clipping
the picture OF the doll from their copies
of the paper. Would they save those
pictures to get doll for q little orphan
girl? Wen. would a duck swim. That's
what some of them asked.
And on Saturday It was a happy mother
who learned that her dittle girl had won
Lady. the doll. with SOC pictures.
And It was happy mother who went
out to Benson ON Sunday with the big
package containing Lady.
And 1t was a happy little girl who
opened the package and beheld with eyes
that could scarcely believe that vision OF
doll loneliness. Happy? The word doesn't
half express II. Her mother says she
was wild with delight" All the little
girls crowded round to see and for ono
ecstatic moment each little girl held 1t in
her arms.
