St. Mary's Female Seminary.

The commencement exercises of ST
Mary'S Female Seminary were held in
the hall of the school on Thursday
last. There was present an UMPIRE
cidented crowd. The usual high stan
dard OF excellence, for which the
school is noted. was well sustained in
the very interesting program that was
81 tastcfully rendered. The essay.
''ArmS and the Poet, " 10y Miss Waters.
one of the graduates. was well com
posed and delightfully."- delivered, while
the selection, ''Oh. Fair Baltimore. ="
by Miss Naomi Taylor. the other
graduate, won merited approval.
The poem follows:
ION, FAIR BALTIMORE
after Lochinvar).
Oh. the fair Baltimore is come out of
the North
On suffrage and such things their
views TO set forth;
The idea, Of course, to st. Mary'S is
new
But we've autos and phones and why
not yoIcS, tooy
So the ladies said Lets" though the
men folks ali SWore
Their wives should hear naughR OF the
~ A'AAhaAhi'AN.
They stopped not for father. they
stopped not for son
The men folks all followed. or sat
home alone.
And as fellows in feeling, they con-
ferred on the lawn,
Their very coat-tails looping anger
and scorn;
In ruffieS and puIfleS and dykingS
galore,
Their wives were hob-nobbing with
Gay Baltimore.
The lacies all cheered as the speaker
arose,
The text was, of course, the down
trodden'S woes,
Who shifted in their hankys such
tears of Self-pitv,
There was meier such time Ger seen
in our city;
''Oh, the men are so meant they
sobbed long and sore,
And you've just found it?'' quoth
Fair Baltimore.
And as for the men folks, As gentle as
lambs,
They offered both cheeks To the
A1AuAuAEC SlatnS-
In vain did the speakers invite n de-
NAL,
Not a man in the crowd would venture
the trial:
When the ''antisr were called for. not
mans hand we saw
Now, isn't that nioei" cried Fair
Baltimore.
AS the matter now rests, il the ladies
stand pat,
It's no telling where our poor men
will he at:
But strongly suspect they arn't what
they seem.
And their sudden conversions, but a
suffragist dream.
The lords of st. Mary's will rule as OF
yore.
No better, no worse, for the Fair
Baltimore.
NAOMI G. TAYLOR, 1915.
Col. J. Marshall Dent, President OF
the Board of Trustees, in an appro-
pirate manner. delivered the diplomas.
The address To the graduates by His
Honor, Judge John r. Briscoe, was
replete with good advice and we'll
chosen quotations and was enthusiast
tically enjoyed. Mrs. Margaret Hold
ges, State Chairman of the Francis
Scott Key Chapter ID. A. r., paid a
high tribute to Miss Janice Combs
Loker, of Leonardlown, the holder OF
the Key scholarship, and whose record
for the year was most laudabie.

PRUNING NEEDS OF cURRANT

In pruning the currant encourage
an upright growth or the brush form
with several stems, rather than a
scraggly habit with but few stems.
Four 20 eight stems are desirable, de-
pending upon soil and variety. Aim
TO keep a continuous supply Of vigor-
Gus shoots coming on In well pruned
plantations no wood over three years
old should be found.
In setting currants and gooseberries
set them deep In the soil; they win
not bear fruit unless You do IT In
setting the plants In the hole, ill part
IL with soil and then put in some old
dressing and then cover this dressing
with soil two or three inches
Currants and gooseberries are gross
feeders, and II you want to get a large
crop you must feed for IT, Use barn
dressing and be very liberal with IL.
This win pay better than small dose
which means q small crop Of fruit,
poor In quality and poor In price also.

munity like Burlington to refuse to lend
assistance to sister community and
such refusal may at first thought seem
almost like gross selfshness and feel
ing OF being self conferred; yet when the
situation is analyzed, when it is realized
that the entire fire department may be
needed to protect property of those who
pay for the maintaining OF the equip
ment then the viewpoint changes to
marked extent. That which seems like
selfishness or narrowness turns to ad-
herence to legal and moral obligations.
With those facts in view perhaps the
smaller communities may look with less
disfayor on the attitude of the larger
communities in restricting the employ
ment Of fire-fghting apparatus, while at
the same time they may rest assured
that in cases Of dire necessity such as
threatened destruction Of an entire vii
lage, those larger communities would UNI
doubtedly lend deaf ear to .elf-obiiga
ton and turn to with a hearty will in
defense of property in the small towns.

DAMAGE is HEAVY.
Brattleboro and Vicinity Get Effects of
High Water.

Brattleboro, Feb 27.--With perhaps
half score of cement pillars torn from

on the bank of the Connecticut river OPP
posite this village, other parts of the
costly amusement plant wrecked, with
thousands Of tons Of ice piled about the
grounds used by the Twin State league
baseball teams the damage to this prac-
tically new structure will run into thous-
ands OF dollars, as the result OF the
spring freshets which have broken up
the ice in the West river and sent that
stream as well as the Connecticut on
a rampage.
AT a point few miles north of this
village ice to the height Of 20 or %
feet is piled up on the tracks OF the
West river branch of the Central Yer
mont railroad making it necessary to
relay passengers in teams.
At Grout's station on the Boston and
Maine, between this village and Bellows
Falls, washout has suspended traffic.
The high tension lines Of the Connee-
ticut River Power company. which car
~ current from the plant at Vernon,
through Brattleboro, TO Bellows Falls are
down, the ice having swept away a pole
near the head Of the island on which
is located the Island park enterprise.
Thousands Of acres of meadows along
the Connecticut river between this place
and Bellows Falls. and large sections
aiong the West river are submerged and
in addition 20 the masses Of ice which
have been carried onto the land a large
amount of debris has found Judgment
on moving fields.
The big Bigelow boat house opposite
Brattleboro. has been slightly moved
from its foundation and the ice is to-
day dangerously near the floor Of the
steel bridge across the Connecticut at
this point.

1t must furnish an agreeable sensa-
ton for various and sundry Democrats
Of Vermont who have been candidates
time after time for public office at the
will of the voters of the state, but only
in yain-it must furnish an agreeable
sensation, we say when those Democrats
feel something worth while placed m
their hands through grace of an appoint
ment. There have been so many lean
years for Vermont Democrats from the
viewpoint of success before the state
electorate, coupled with similar lack OF
attention as respects federal patronage,
that when things do come their way the
action is windfall, indeed. Vernon A.
Billiard OF Burlington is the latest to
catch such windfall in the shape Of an
appointment as United States attorney
for the district Of Vermont Like Har-
land B. Howe, he finds that being forced
to wait has turned to his profit.
