Vermont Never a Slave State

T notice your remark that there were slaves in all the states save Massachu- setts in 1790 Did not Vermont enter the union in that year? After existing as an independent commonwealth, with con stitution containing the first clause against slavery? EMILY e.
 Vermont began the work of abolition of slavery in 1777, being still a territory. It was never slave state. This fact should have been mentioned in the article to which you refer. But. strictly speaking it could not be numbered with the states which had abolished slavery. As a state it never had it. Vermont was admitted into the union March 4, 1791. It preferred to call itself an independent common wealth, not territory, until then. The history of the gallant little state is TO- mantle, and, in some respects, unique.

CYRIL SCOTT

porter follows her Irish and newspaper
 nose to May Roson at Sheepshead Bay.
 From there, one by one, she makes
 successful canvass of Henry Kolker, Cyril Scott, Julian Eltinge, Charles
 Ross and Mabel Fenton, Robert Edeson, Loe Ditrichstein, Julia Dean and final
 ly Henrietta Crossman. In her race
 across the country, she is constantly
 followed and handicapped by Miss Hill
 ton, who is very anxious for the
 youngster to fail, and does all within
 her power to cause such failure. But in spite of Miss Hilton's cross-coun-
 try bounding of the little girl, and the
 constant blockades laid in her way, the last day of the chase finds Molly at Henrietta Crossman's place with her last interview well under way. And
 here it is that defeat does it's best to
 meet her. At the critical moment, she finds that there is not another train
 for an hour and she is due in the New
 York office within 45 minutes. It is
 then that Miss Crossman comes to the rescue. She abandons her apple pairing long enough to make arrangements for some friends with an aeroplane to get the little girl back to her post in time. The rest of the play is taken up with Mollys exciting race back to the city. There is the wreck of the motor that is taking her to the aeroplane by a fast express and Molly's wonderful escape from death and the crumpled car. Then follows the flight through the air Just as the office clock stands at the critical hour of "12," the time limit set for the assignment, and just as the Sunday edi-

HHE following interesting account Of
 the Missionary Week just over in
 @ Monteagle, and other notes of that place will be read with interest,":
 The programme for Missionary Week at Monteagle is just over, and the list Of speakers for this was among the best heard here in years. Among the promi- nent speakers during the week were: pr. Egbert Watson Smith, executive secre- tary of Presbyterian mission board; pr. Edward F. Cook from the foreign mission board of tho Methodist church; Mrs. Mazie T. Allan, with the Christian woman's board of missions; Mrs. Gather inc Sherrar Cronk, editor of the Lutheran Church in the South; Mrs. B. w. Lips comb, home base secretary methodist board, and the Rev. Baron DeKalb Gray of Atlanta, secretary Baptist home mis- sion board.
 The programme each year is presented under the auspices of the Monteagle woman's Missionary association. and comprises a week of addresses, study courses, junior methods and illustrated lectures designed to create new interest in missions. The work was divided into two distinct parts, that for the children and that for the general audience. The work with the juniors was one of the most interesting parts of the whole pro gramme. A missionary story hour was conducted throughout the week by MISS Addie McLemore of EutaW. Demonstra- tions in class method were presented by Mrs. Magic T. Allan, and the twilight prayer service was conducted by Mrs. Cronk on the following subjects: "The Missionary's Child and His Little Neighbor of the East" The Children Of the Mission Fields" and Children Nearer Home" Mrs Cronk also deliv- cred an illustrated lecture in the audi torium on Child Life of the World
 To the general public on the mountain the addresses of Dr. Cook and Dr. smith proved of special interest. Both Of the speakers took subjects that showed not only the source of the great worldwide attempt by the churches, but of it's ac- conplishments By Faith" and ''Tho Reflex Influence of Missions" were Dr. Smiths subjects. At the conclusion of Dr. Cooks last address upon the New A1cerieanism.'- the audience was so moved that a motion was unanimously passed by the audience commenting Pres ident Wilson upon the Christian states manship that he has displayed in our for eign relations.
 The new mission study book, World Missions and World Peace" was given by Mrs. Cronk in lecture form. An il- lustrated lecture on Mexico" by pr. K. W. Hooker, medical missionary to that country from the Southern Baptist church, gave new insights into the prob lems of Rev. B. D. Gray of Atlanta and a short song service Sunday evening.
 Rev. Charles s. Gardner of Louisville, professor in the Southern Baptist Theo- logical seminary of that city, gave se- ries of lectures upon sociological themes that drew large audiences. His subjects were: Our Homes,' Our Occupations" "Our Recreat'ons," "Our Cities" and sermon on Christianity and the Social Order" Dr. Gardner concluded his en- gsgement with an address, "Our Broth

Will you please help me to find a home for my baby boy? I have had him boarding out since he was two weeks old. l could have found good home for him when he was little baby, but I could not bear to part with him then. I thought l was brave enough to earn his living and mine. too, but it's been a weary way! He is such loving baby that I am persuaded for his own sake, more than my own, to get him a good home. My people are sober honest. and law abiding, and should not like to put my child with any, other kind. My baby has brown eyes and brown, curly hair, and has never known a sick day.
