The building is strikingly located, at
the junction of several avenues. 1t faces
the east, looking toward its own home,
calling to it's children to come Gu. here
under it's patronage. Kipling's lines came
into my head
''For west is west, and east is east,
And never the twain shall meet"
know what his meaning was, but it
pleased me to change it and to reverse
his conclusion,-to realize that our coun-
try has no east and west in feeling, and
that nationality blots out the distances
of geography.
l have found Vermont in two places at
the fair. In the Palace of Education
there are views which give graphic repre-
sentation of the University of Vermont.
And in Varied Industries there is a large
corner devoted to marble, very elabo
rately planned and executed exhibit of
about fifty varieties. The nigh coping
contains inlays of beautiful marbles, the
entrance is marked by highly polished
pillars, and huge panels form wains-
coating. The central panel has dark
diamond on lighter ground, this strik-
ing pattern having been obtained by joins
ing four pieces, each showing dark
streak running diagonally.
But I'll have to admit that the rest of
the exhibit is solemn rather than cheer
full, owing to the unfortunate uses to
which this wonderful stone has been
dedicated. A miniature nausoleum &C.
cupies the center, with an altar on one
side and headstones on the other. But
the marble is decidedly attractive; and
whenever l come upon an exhibit of
building stone, 1 hear Vermont marble
and granite openly acknowledged as
being the finest, very just statement
which even approaches generosity when
you consider that it is made by Yer
mont's rivals.
I'd like to see you, and the only thing
that reconciles me is that should have
to leave California to do it.
Lovingly,

BOwles- DelanO

The pleasant farm home of Mr. an d
Mrs. Herbert L. Delano on the Enore
Mountain road was the scene of pretty
wedding last Thursday afternoon, whe n
their daughter, Eta Reba, was united
in marriage to Harold Little Bowles OF
Sugar Hill. N. H.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Walter E. Baker of the First Con.
gregational Church of Morrisville, in the
presence of the relatives and few init.
mate friends. The bridal party entered
the parlor to the strains of Mendelsshon's
wedding march, played by Miss Lila
Cutler of Keene. N. H.. the bride on the
arm of her father, being preceded by he
maid of honor, Miss Faith Delano, Char
lotte Slayton acting as flower girl an
Ralph Davis as ring bearer. The groom s
best man was Lewis F. Delano, broth
err of the bride. The wedding couple
stood under canopy of wild roses, from
which was suspended a large wedd ing
BELL mountain laurel, sent by DIR. and
Mrs. A. H. Smith of Fitchburg, Mass,
forming the background. The impressive
Episcopal ring ceremony was used.
The bride was becomingly gowned in
white crepe de chine with pearl trim
mings and carried brides roses. The
maid of honor wore pink crepe de chin e
and carried bouquet of pink carnations.
Following a short reception, refresh
ments of ice cream and cake were served
in the dining room by Misses Edna
Slayton, Mary Gates, Susan Delano and
Vera Gilbert. The color scheme in this
room was yellow and white, this being
carried out by the use of white crepe
paper and daisies, festooned from the
the hanging lamp to the corners of the
table. Mr.. and Mrs. Bowles were tn e
recipients of an unusually large number
of beautiful and useful gifts, including
linen, cut glass and silver.

by automobile for Montpelier and from
there went to New York state, thence to
Sugar Hill, N. H. The brides travelling
suit was blue, with large black hat.
The groom, who is prosperous young
farmer of Sugar Hill, has chosen well in
taking one, of Morrisvilles we'll known
and most popular young ladies. While
Miss Delano has always resided in Ell
more, she has spent most of her time in
Morrisville for several years, being a
graduate of Peoples Academy in the
class of 1908. After graduating she
taught one year. since which time she
has been an efficient employee of the Cit.
zens telephone Office.

extended from large circle of friends in
this vicinity and the News and Citizen
wishes to be included among the we'll
wishers.

Bible for Burmese MosIems.

A colporteur of the British and For
eign Bible society in Burma reports:
81 sold one Holy Bible to an orthodox
Mohammedan. He has been one OF
my bitterest opponents, and has often
laughed and scoffed ct me as | passed
his shop. l asked him why he wanted
to buy a Bible, and he confessed that
he had secretly read an Urdu Gospel
bought from me by one of his servants.
In this book he had found many good
things which he had never heard of,
and he now wanted to read the whole
Bible"

"You Mustn't Leave Us This Way"

en- of Tommy's father as being one of
the brave men who had died for the
country.
When the crackers and torpedoes
were exploded. and Tommy was turn
ing back toward the gate, Roy caught
him protestingly by the arm.
Look here, Tommy" he cried; you
mustn't leave us this way. We're go
ing to have a game of croquet, and
then mamma will have lunch for us in
the summer house. After that we'd
like to have you in our carriage in the
parade. | know papa will be pleased.
He said your father was in his COM
pany, and that he was one of the best
men. It's right that you should be
in the parade. And we'd like to have
you go with us to the fireworks this
evening, too. Papa has charge of them,
you know, and maybe he'll let us help
a little"
So Tommy remained and played GRO
quet, and had lunch with them in the
summer house, and went with them in
the parade.
Then he hurried home and told his
mother about it, but returned in time
to help carry the fireworks to the
square in front of the courthouse. and
to assist in placing skyrockets and
mines and pin wheels in position for
firing, and to do many of those impor-
tant things, which so delight the heart
of boy.
And his conspicuous position in the
proceedings of the day so impressed
the other boys that they ceased to jeer
him from that time on, and took him
into their games as a comrade in
good standing

Robbins Circus Coming With
Many Attractions

Following the policy established thirty
five years ago when he first put show
on the road, Frank A. Robbins, the vet
eran circus man, who brings his show
here on Thursday, July s, has among his
star acts many which are not seen with
any other circus on the road this year.
Mr.. Robbins spent all winter securing
the country for the kind of features which
are different" There has been sub
stantial increase made in the parade,
menagerie and other equipment. so that
the show, which has been in Trenton all
winter, appears so changed and improved
that there is little that is old about it,
but the name.
The greatest feature of the show is
HILLARY Long, who leaps the gap and
"walks" down stairs on his head, the
only person in the world who does the
act, will be seen at every performance.
Defying all laws of nature. and without
the use of his hands at any time, he
mounts an incline, balances on his head,
a gap which he leaps across aud lands on
a similar incline on the other side, still
inverted. The performance will be given
twice day.
Graceful bareback riders, aerialists,
recently returned from tour of South
America, big group of fun m akers,
three bands, and hundred other per-
formers provide an entertainment which
lasts for two solid hours.
Two shows will be given, no matter
what the weather. The first will be at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon, and the other
promptly at s. The doors of the big can
vas will open an hour earlier, so that the
enlarged menagerie may be viewed lei
surely, and with full knowledge that
nothing will be missed in the main tent.
