His Memory
RECESS BY COURT
DURING FUNERAL
Judge Fish Refers to Late Assistant
Judge as One of Best He Knew-Use-
fuIness of Assistant Judges Frequently
Proved.

As stated briefly in The Reformer yes
terday Judge Frank L. Fish ordered
recess at Windham county court during
the funeral of Judge Frank Worden of
West Halifax, a former assistant judge
of the county court for 16 years. following
a motion by Attorney Melville Z. Maurice
of Brattleboro and remarks by Mr.. Mau
rice and by Judge Fish. The Reformer
herewith publishes the text of the remarks,
which were a deserved tribute to a man
who filled an important place in the his
tory of the court:
Mr. Maurice: eff the court please, I
wish at this time to announce to the court
and to the bar the death of the Honorable
Frank WOrden of Halifax. Judge Wor
den passed away at the age of 90 years OF
more, and from my personal knowledge
of Judge Worden. growing out of the tax
ing of an important deposition in per-
petuam only a few short weeks ago, in
which the judge was asked to reproduce
from memory a somewhat complicated will
and cOdicil. with all the detailf7 of its exc
cution, its witnessing and the mental
condition of the testatOr, / want to say
that it seemed to me most remarkable that
man of his age be able to so faithfully
and so accurately describe those things
| that happened several years ago, even to
the minutiae of the forms of the execution
and attestation.
Judge Worden was a man who served,
as l am told. for 16 years as one of the
assistant judges of this court a man
who served the people of the little town
| of Halifax for 30 years as a justice of the
Ipeacc, and as one of those Justices that
we sometimes call trial Justices a man
! whose judgment in his court work always
had the respect of the litigants and of the
kattorneyS who appeared before him; a
man whose natural sOundneSS of mind,

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get

By JESSIE ROBERTS
FARM WIFERY.

THE famous land army of women
4 who took to agriculture under
the stress of war demands is now dis
banded. Some of its work was re-
markably good, some of it very poor,
as is the case with most mundane
things. But one interesting fact is
noted. This is that women seem to
do better with animals than men.
Women are especially valuable with
fine, high7grade, expensive stock. They
are willing to mother the young, to
take a world of trouble to save an all
ing calf or lamb or chicken or turkey,
or to nurse a sick adult animal. They
work with more affection for their
charges than is the rule with men.
And affection appears to be an ex-
cellent commercial factor. Farm wife
ry pays.
Many girls are beginning to take
courses in the various agricultural
schools and colleges all over the coun-
try with a real ambition to take up
some form of farming. Advice from
responsible sources seems to Indicate
the advisability of their specializing

/ Disdaining distance, seeking only
1t turns aside to llnger by riIl,
1t climbs a slope to rest beneath the
Or breathe the perfume of a, Summer
breeze.
Here time is nothing. haste a thing un-
known
The hot, straight highway for the craze
of speed;
The path is made for them who walk
alone,
Whose God is Nature, and the woods
their creed,
To follow blindly where the path may
lead.
No stern surveyor made it thus and so,
Nor north nor south nor east nor west
it tends.
It dips to kiss the pool where lilies grow,
1t rises joyously where ivy bends
And meets in fond embraces with its
friends.
Through brooding branches and embroid-
cred leaves
The sunshine filters in a golden rain,
Transforms the tufted weeds to shining
sheaves,
The tangled grass to waving harvest
grain,
The marshy muskeg to a purple plain.
This Is a path of velvet from the loom
OF droning Summer. Never human
hand
wove such a pattern. bright with rose
abloom
Along it's border. Never artist planned
This brilliant carpet flung across the
land.
Now princes leave their castles, kings
their thrones,
And unattended walk these sylvan
aisles.
They pause to muse beside this heap of
stones
More beautiful than all the granite piles
Reared with slow labor on their ample
miles
Sweet, solemn splendor of the silent wood,
More dear you are than all the haunts
of men;
For never mortal in your presence stood
And listened to the whisper of the glen
But songs forgotten sang to him again.
Perhaps it is his mothers voice he hears,
The faint re-echo of her cradle Groom
That sends him cropping down the ended
years
To find some Iong-discarded boon,
To find again some long-departed June.
Then, by the magic of the shade and sun,
OF tree and rose and brook and verdant
sod,
This world shall seem to be that other
one
Where feet walk never. yet where souls
have trod-
And he shall hold communion with his
God.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
By +. a. WALKER


either toll or money, you would find
that scores and scores of people had
been indirectly in your employ and
working in your behalf.
And, on the other hand, you have
the satisfaction of knowing if you do
an honest days work that you have
labored to help scores of others.
1t is the lack of recognition given
TO the fact that we are all dependent
each upon the other that leads to our
greatest troubles. 1t is that that pits
capital against labor and labor against
capital. 1t is that that causes the war
between classes and the wars between
nations.
If you fully recognized your indebt-
edness to your fellow man, you would
want to help him because by doing so
you would be indirectly helping your
self.
If everybody in the world set out
to gouge and cheat everybody else in
the world, it would be onfy a short
time before there would be utter chaos,
commercially, and morally.
It is because only a comparative
few try at one time to get all they
can regardless of methods or results
that keeps the world on an even keel
and society from toppling to destruc-
tion.
The more we recognize that we must
rely and depend upon each other, the
higher consideration we have for the
good of the world as a whole and the
more nearly we come to being truly
civilized.
God in His wisdom made no one alb
solute.
The only such power that has ever
been bestowed has been placed and
recognized by subjects who thought
Trey needed to be ruled, which was a
conclusion not very complimentary to
themselves.
1t is really worth while for you to
think for a few minutes on what an
inefficient and incompetent being YOU
are when you divorce yourself from
all outside aid. 1t will help you to
be meek and in the greatest sermon
ever preached it was said, BLESSED
are the meek for they shall inherit
the earth"
