Vermont.
BY Helen NJ. Winslow.


(To be sung to the tune of America
Dear old Vermont to thee
Best State of all to me,
To thee we sing.
O land of maple trees,
Swept by the mountain breeze,
Patterned by God S DEGREES,
Our love we bring.
Thy grand old mountains green,
TO us will ever mean
Freedom and truth.
Thy heritage so bright,
OF courage strong and right,
Makes noble men of might,
And eternal youth.
Thy pure and wide-swept air,
Thy peaceful valleys fair,
Thy skies of blue
Makes girls who I'VE always stood
For all that women should
The flower of womanhood-
Tender and true.
Then, dear old State of ours,
Thy name shall ever rouse
Our patriotic song;
Long may Vermont abide,
Her children 8 love and pride,
And every mountain-side
Her praise prolong

Unanimous for Graham.
(Montpelier Argus.)

Horace F. Graham, able auditor of
accounts, in whom the voters of Yer
mont have unusual confidence, has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
govemorship. Mr., Graham goes into
the contest under auspices that are
exceptionally favorable and it is
doubtful if any opposition worthy of
the name will appear against him.
Well known throughout Vermont and
held in the highest favor because he
deserves to be, faithful in the dis
charge of his duties and loyal to the
core to good old Vermont it is safe to
predict that his selection in the pri-
maries will be practically unanimous.

Briefer the dresses grow,
Fuller the ripples now,
While whislling glimpses show,
More than they oughter.
Forward the dress parade,
Is there a man dismayed2
No-from the sight displayed
None could be sundered.
Theirs not to make remark,
Clergyman, clubman, clerk,
Gaping from noon till dark
At the Four Hundred.
Shorter skirts to right of them
Shorter to left of them,
Shortest in front of them,
Flaunted and firted-
In hose and stripe and plaid,
Hued most exceeding glad.
Sporting in spats run mad,
Come the short skirted.

Flashed as they turned in air
What will not women dare?
Though the exhibits show
Some of them blundered)
All sorts and shapes of pegs,
Broomsticks, piano legs;
Here and there fairy shapes;
Just built to walk on eggs,
Come by the hundred
When can their glory fade
O-the wild show they made,
All the world wondered,
Grande dame and dcmois7ll',
Shop girl and Bowcry Belle
Four hundred-ll M, h, we'll,
Any old hundred!

Automobiling Not a Velvety Way.

What with defending in Windham
county court two suits, each for $4,000
for damages for injuries alleged to
have been received in an accident,
when the conveyance which the plain
tiifs occupied was run into by his au-
tomobile, Henry w. Porter of Bellows
Falls can't feel very enthusiastic
about getting out his motor ear for
early speeding. The way of the au.
tomobilist is not always velvety one
despite the constant and pronounced
improvement of cars and Vermont
roads. The old saying about the one
who dances being compelled to pay
the fiddler seems to apply to those
who drive automobiles and meet along
their way untoward incidents.

SOUTH LONDONDERRY.
The Late Mrs. Susan T. Thompson.

Mrs. Susan Temple Thompson, wife
of Gilman Thompson, died at her home
at South Londonderry Wednesday
morning, March 20, of spinal lmenin-
gifts, being about 10 years Of age. In
her last illness, as at other times, she
had the loving and devoted care not
only of her husband but also OF her
only daughter, Miss Halle Thompson
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson spent their
early married life on farm in Win-
hall and remained there overs30 years.
From there, over 20 Years ago, they
moved to South Londonderry.
Mrs. Thompson had been throughout
her life highly respected by all who
knew her. No one could associate with
her without being better and having
a stronger desire to live an honorable
and pure life, inspired by her example
and words. She was always first at the
bedside of the sick, willing to do all
she could, and more than her strength
would allow. She was such II good
nurse that her help was welcomed and
considered most valuable. The poor
and needy always found in her sym
pathy and pecuniary help without ask
ing for it. She and her husband were
excellent singers, and no farm duties
or home work ever hindered them
from willingly responding to calls to
sing at funerals.
She was a woman of good judgment,
capable of helping in the orders of
which she was member, the w. r. c.
and Grange, in all good works for the
betterment and uplifting of society
and for good and pure living. The
description of q good woman in Prov.
31:20, y, %, well applies to her.
Mrs. Thompson was faithful to her
brothers and sisters, of whom she had
IL; also to her husband S family, car
ing for his blind mother several years
with all the love and tenderness an own
daughter could have given. An affec
tionate wife and mother, one of the
best of neighbors, a busy, useful wo-
man has gone from her life of service
here to the better life where there will
be many stars in her CROWN
She leaves her husband and daugh-
ter, one brother and two sisters, and
very many friends.
The brother is Arthur Temple of
New York and the sisters are Mrs.
Mary Goddard and Mrs. Maria Fuller
of this place. She was a former pres
ident of Hooker Woman s Relief corps,
