ness to everyone - f9*ss : N::*& ;SS
Deceased held a prominent place in
the activities of the First Copgrega-
tional church,; and the different bran
trustee of the church for many years,
office very faithfully. He was regu-
lar attendant upon the services of
the church, and manifested his inter-
est and devotion to the cause by
his generous material aid. Since the
death of the late Justice j. nj.
Pearse, Mr.. Lister has been the eff
cient secretary CT the various branch
es of the Masonic order. He was
also an honored member Of Ell Kahir,
Temple, Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine.
At the gatherings Of the lodges Mr..
Lister was a regular attendant, and
filled the positions entrusted to his
care. with genuine devotion, and
in his daily life exemplified the high.
principles Of the ORDER.
Mr.. Lister will be greatly missed
by the people of Manchester. He
possessed those excellent qualities of
heart and mind which made Of him a
man honored and respected by his
fellow citizens. He was slow to CEN
sure the conduct of anyone, and when
his official duties brought him face
to face with the unpleasant task CT
passing judgment, these acts were
always performed in a spirit of kind
ness, and judgment passed only af-
ter careful and conscientious consid--
Grafton of the facts.
The sudden summons has brought
a great sorrow to the faithful wife,
and the daughter and son. This sor-
row is not confined to the immediate
members Of his family, but by his
associates in the church and lodge.

NEW PARSONAGE COMPLETED

The members of the Buck Greek
Methodist Episcopal church have
just completed handsome parsonage
for their pastor, Rev. Mr.. Chalice.
The pastor and his wife are now
nicely situated in the same. Speak
ing of the Improvement made by the
good people of Buck Greek the Hop
kinton Leader of last week says:
1T is very commodious and COM
Portable residence, and many a
town" preacher is less convenient
ly situated than Mr.. and Mrs. Cha
lice are in their new home. The
house occupies the ground that, was
form erly owned by Lew. Rea rdon, and
it replaces one of the oldtime houses
of that community. The grounds have
been terraced and graded with a
slope toward the church, and grad
ing has also been done about, the
church to make provisional for a drive
way into the grounds and a conven-
lent place for parking automobiles,
which are now about as common as
the teams. The Buck Creek people
have reason to be proud of their
church home. A veritable transforma
tion has been accomplished by the
work of Improvement couple of
years ago. Their plans are not all
completed yet, but the enthusiasm
with which the people of the COM
have taken ho,d CT their prob
LEM insures a successful conclusion
of their undertaking. Interest in tie
and the ideals which they
are endeavoring to work out has not
waned at any time. The Buck Creek
church is a conspicuous example Of
what a rural community is able
to accomplish when a serious ef-
fort is made. A community interest
is being created which it SENS to
the Leader should be a means of
anchoring the young people as well
as the cid ones, permanently to the
old hcme. There are mighty few
places where the attractions are SO
seductive and the neighborly rela--
tons so cordial and invigorating as

streets. That's about the only time the
men ever notice them. Buenos Aires is
indeed a man s town and wives and
daughters are used mostly to adorn the
home. Almost all the smart breakfasts,
banquets and functions at the Plaza, the
Jockey club or the Paris hotel are stag
affairs while stagnation is the usual lot
of the women save for the wild excite.
ment of going to the opera or to church.
There are semi.weekly dances at the
Plaza now, the dansants and musicals
but these are attended mostly by the
American and English fair sex while the
true Argentine lady bides at home with
the exception of few young girls who
come well chaperoned.
Florida pronounced Flor-ee.da) is
the Fifth avenue of B. A. Here are the
largest and smartest shops and along
its way everyone who is anyone prom
enades or motors. 1t is woefully mar
row street with room on its sidewalks
for only two people to walk coffort-
ably abreast. From 4 till p. M, how
ever, all vehicles are barred and then
the pavement is used as a promenade.
The Argentine women dress most
elaborately, their furs are sumptuous
and their hats are laden with wonder
full aigrettes and Paradise that to us
are as forbidden fruit. Their fingers
and ears glitter with the most beauti-
full diamonds have ever seen and yet
they wear their clothes with the true
chic of a Partisan. Still there is no
trace Of a too lavish ostentatiousness or
vulgar display. Beautiful abundant hair
and small, well shaped feet are the two
extreme charms of the Bucnos Aires
belle. The first is accentuated by be-
ing always perfectly dressed and well
cared for. The second by the most ex-
travagantly designed and well made of
foot gear. Almost any foot would look
attractive in the short vamped, high
heeled Partisan last that is all prevalent
here. Exquisite are the high boots of
bronze, patent kid and suede, some
made as if nodded to the foot with no
visible lacings or fastenings.
The tiny evening slippers, sandals and
cothurns, strapped and cleaning with
brilliant buckles are fit for fairy feet
They make the North American woman,
all fitted out in the long vamped eff
fects of our present shoe modes, want
to sit on her Chicagoesque tootsies in
rage while the Argentine Cinderellas
prance mp to the head of the beanty
class feet foremost.

A BUFFALO INSTITUTION
Known All Over the United States.

DIR. Richard C. Cabot, who is head
of the Massachusetts General Hospi-
dal, has been writing for the American
Magazine, April and May, on the sub
Ject of Better Doctoring for Less
Money"
He says that "a new era has come
in the practice of medicine, but most
people do not know it yet We have
begun to emerge from that stage of
medical work in which the doctor was
a peddler selling goods from house
to house, into the more advanced and
sensible era in which the doctor stays
at his place of business, like anyone
else who has goods to sell, and the
people who want these goods come
to him. The shop where he has his
goods to sell is generally called a
hospital and he has associated with
him there body of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers Of any industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some
beginnings of satisfactory division of
labor and specialization of function.
Therefore, he can give the public, a
much better article for less money.
"The article l refer to is sound
medical advice and treatment"
This is just what DR.. Pierce has been
doing at the Invalids' Hotel in Buffalo,
New York. DIR. V. M. Pierce has asso-
ciated with him DIR. Lee H. Smith, who
is vice president and head surgical
director and operator, and there are
a dozen other physicians and special
lists, as well as four chemists, and the
poor and the very rich get the best
medical attention. As Dr. Cabot has
properly said, "When you go to a
. doctors office you may complain of
nothing more abstruse than a head
ache or stomache-ache, yet for the
solution of the problem represented by
your suffering there may be needed an
X-ray examination, chemical tests such
as very few experts are capable of max
