at a Brooklyn Banquet.
The sons and daughters of Vermont,
no matter where their lot is cast, re-
turn to her with steps that never wa
yer. Or if their feet are bound in
other paths their thoughts are pill
grims to her dark-green hills. We
never know how dear she is until we
leave her. And as we learn to count
our years by scores instead of one by
one, we turn to her more fOndly still
because she keeps the memories of
childhood. Often, as we sit reading
by the winter fire. her summer land
scape floats across the page; and even
IaS we go about our work a vision of
ten comes before our eyes,-the hill
side orchard. the red farmhouse hid
ing in the trees. But most of all when
we are gathered as we are tonight,
when hundreds answer to the same
deep thrill, when all are lifted by a
common pride in her great past, then
most of all that vision of our mountain
State becomes a real presence. And,
oh, how beautiful she seemsl
We know tonight the drifted SHOWS
lie deep within her borders-the win
ter still is there. But in a few weeks
more, we know, the lazy, lettering
spring will come that way with gifts
that will make rich amends for all her
hardness. She will turn the willow
wands to gold along the stream-sides.
She will sprinkle all the meadow
lands with cowslips, and weave into
the carpet of the woods the mayfOwer
and anemone. She will kindle the
tops of all the naples with little fam
ing leaves and burning buds. She
will set Killington and CamePs Hump
and Mansfield against a sky as blue as
ItaIy's. She will let all the rivers take
up again their solemn hymns where
they left off, and let all the boisterous
brooks come tumbling and laughing
down the Lodges. She will creep up
all the valleys and ravines with YER
dure, and lay tender light on all the
hill-tops, and make green the graves
of those that loved us in the days that
were.
Dear little State! not dearer for
your loneliness than for the memory OF
those that sleep within your bosom,
the strong and tender hearts of other
days. You, too, history has touched
with splendor. and, for the brave
deeds of your sons, has given you b
place among the hardy and heroic ali
around the world. We who are gath |
cred here tonight are gathered in
your honor, and the name we take
upon our lips is yours. copyrighted

Moody received his education at the
other end Of the valley from st. Johns
bury. at Yale. Mr.. Moody spoke Of
the history of Thanksgiving, of the
different significance of the voyage OF
the Mayfiower and the explorations Of
Drake, and OF what the Thanksgiving
of the Pilgrims meant Their first
winter would seem indescribably hard
to us but they felt that In spite Of all
their hardships they had reason for
thankfulness. 1t was the Pilgrim who
made possible this day of thanksgiving
and we should be thankful that there
is still open to us the field of adven-
turesand the chance to do brave things
and venture greatly for God.
At the close of the speeches DR..
Benedict announced that the school
would stand adjourned until Monday
morning, an announcement that was
received with such applause as only

Christmas day they made him put
on the smoking jacket. Life was not
the same after that. They told him he
mustn't smoke that vulgar, shocking
old pipe while wearing the lovely
jacket. Everybody thought he was
cured of the deadly corncob. He quit
smoking the pipe, and instead brought
home bale of cigars.
He made a handsome figure, wear
ing the braided smoking jacket, and
putting a cigar with gilt band around
it. We left him, smoking happily by
the stove. In one hour we returned.
Uncle Peters was still consuming
cigars. On the floor lay the family
cat. 1t did not raise it's head at our
footsteps. 1t would never look up
again. The picture frames on the
walls had turned green.
Uncle Peters denied that his Flor de

He insisted she had rolled over after
taking one squint at the smoking

Hearers.
(FrOm Saturdays Daily.

The recital given by John Campbell
a tenor of great ability, at the home
of Mrs. George ". Mead last evening
was a most enjoyable affair, both
from an artistic and social standpoint
This is the first Of a series of -four
recitals that are to be given during

gram ranging from the Drinking Song
from Cavalier Rusticana and the air,
"Vesti la giubba" from Pagliacci to
songs calling for the most delicate vo-
cal control.
Worthy of particular mention in a
program consisting of excellent num-
bers were ''The Birth of Morn" which
was repeated by request, and power
full and effective rendition of the ''Pau-
per's Drive"
Mr.. Campbell's work showed the
thorough going and thorough schooled
artist. Possessed of a tenor voice,
which contained the true upper notes
of a tenor combined in its lower re-

vocal method and splendid enunciation
all contributed to make his singing

Mrs. Guy Nash, formerly of this
city, accompanied Mr.. Campbell on
the piano and furnished accompani-
ments that were models of taste and
efficiency. Her effective accompani-
ment of the song "The Pauper's
Drive" added very materially to the
remarkable rendition of that fine song.
The next number on the program
will be on January 8, 1916 at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. /. P. Witter. Miss
Miller, a celebrated contralto will be
the soloist.

STRANDED IN
THE WILDS
Of kELLNER
(FrOm Fridays Daily.

Four men of this city who started
out yesterday afternoon in an auto
mobile to look into some real estate
matters in Adams county, had a
real adventure while on their way
home.
About four o'clock in the afternoon
while yet in Adams county, the en-
CINE of the automobile had an at
tack of tonsilitis or something else
and a great deal of trouble was ex-
perienced. The men kept plugging
away with the car and arrived within
a few miles of Kellner when the en-
CINE refused to work any longer and
the car wouldn't even run down hill
The men fused and fumed around
the car, but could not locate the
trouble. They even examined the
wheel base at the suggestion of one
of their number, but the wheel base
came with the car and had never
caused any trouble and seemed to be

late and the storm was brewing so
the men decided to get farmer to

case and asked such prohibitive price
that the men seriously considered Civ
ing him the car. They finally decided
to walk to KelIner and started out
Kellner is evidently working under
an early closing ordinance. At any
rate when the quartette arrived at
Kellner, they found everything closed
up-not even saloon was open.
Knocking at doors Of different saloons
and what looked like hotels brought
no response. Finally a saloon was
reached that had piece of card board
in the door in place of a window. Be
ing curious regarding the interior of
the place that would sport such an
ornament, the men gradually tore the
cardboard away and reached in and
unlocked the door. The proprietor of
the place was fast asleep in a chair
near the stove and did not wake up.
The adventures helped themselves to
some beer and opened few boxes of
sardines for a lunch.
While engaged in this innocent pas
time of assurging their thirst and
satisfying the gnawing pains in their
stomachs, resident of the sleeping
town passed by and was called. He
helped serve the lunch and was given
what he said was the cost of the ser
vice and told to turn it over to the
proprietor when he woke up.
Two of the adventures came in on
the c.. {, n. W. train which arrives
here at 1927 P. NJ. and the other two
stayed at Kellner and telephoned to
a Grand Rapids garage to send out
and help them. The two that stayed
finally arrived in the city at l o'clock
this morning.
The trouble was not with the
wheel base as has already been stated,
but there was some sand in the carbur
etter.
