A Good CnesKiT, An elderly woman with an impediment In hor speech had tronWes of her own ttt the corner of Twelfth and Walnut streets the other day. As each car caine out Walnut street she would stop it and say to tho conductor, "Dud-dud-dud-does th-tliis kuk-kuk-car kup- gUB-jjo" At this juncture, and some times before, the conductor would, ini- patiently exclaim, "No; take the- next! car." Then he would pull tho strap and the car would go ahead, taivuigj the woman ni the crossing.

There are live different lines pssstng) out Walnut street nt this point, and it) tho woman could read the sign disregarded them. Finally a condoctoe mora considerate than me others help-, ed her aboard and allowed her to ex-j plain afterward. After three Moeka had been traversed lie found that she) wanted to go to Darby, and his was 0 Darby car. When she learned this, Bht beamed her joy.

Turning Sharp On one occasion a great public din-, ner was given to Isaac Hull by the town of Boston, and he was aBked tq sit for his picture to Gilbert Stuart, the celebrated artist, who was a great! hrnirErnrt. Whpn TTnll visited his Rtndicvj Stuart took great delight in entertaining him with anecdotes of his English success, stories of the Marquis of. Thia and the Baroness of That which showed how elegant was the society to which he had been accustomed. Unfortunately iu the midst of this grandeur Mrs. Stuart, who did not! know that there was a sitter, came In with her apron on and her head tied up with handkerchief from the kitchen nnd orifid out.

"Did von mean to have that leg of mutton boiled or roasted?" To which Stuart replied, with great, presence of mind, "Ask your The Pearl Hunters' Tho pearl hunters of Borneo and tha adjacent islands have a peculiar superstition. When they open shells In search of pearls, they take every ninth find, whether it be large or small, anil put it into a bottle which is kept corked with a dead man's linger. The pearls in the vial are known as "seed pearls" or "breeding pearls," and the-native Borneose firmly believes that they will reproduce their kind. For every pearl put into the vial two grains of rice are thrown in for the pearls ti "feed upon." Some whites iu Borneo believe as firmly in the superstition as the natives do, and almost every hut the coast has its "dead finger" brittle, with from nine to fifty --iris anil, twice that number of carp-fully and evenly sto.vd away anions them. Do Yon Relieve In Ghostx? On the subject of the villar Is divided.

Some peni le beg ilie question by a bold assertion that "ther' ben't slch things, an' them as sez they sees 'tint on'y thinks 'inn docs." Others, more cautious, lire of opinion that: "ther' med be gbostes or ther' they had never beheld any themselves, but they knew folks who had. The dictum of one hardy skeptic is worth quoting as an example or shrewd reasoning: "I Cwun't believe in ghostes an' sich," said he. "Why should seem' I've niver sin nothink wusser nor meself all me life long? I looks at it this way, luk'ce, 'If sa be as they bo-gone to the right place 'tis sartin sure-as they wuu't keer to come back year-agon.

Major d'Arlandes, like many another French soldier, was tired of waiting: for promotion and opportunities to distinguish himself. He seized an opportunity to enjoy a little excitement and at the same time to remind Louis XVI. of bis baffled ambitions. He made a balloon ascension, which, at that time was thought to be a very risky nffair. The king promptly re-, proved him for his rashness.

"Tour majesty will pardon me, I hope," said the officer, "but the fact is the minister of war has made me so many promises'In the air that I went, up to look for some of them." Orand Celebration of the Feast by the Catholic People in Swanton last Sunday. Last Sunday was a day of joy and triumph for all the members of the Catholic church in this place. They observed in an unusual pomp anil splendor their annual procession in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, a feast, we iiiidcrstaiid.that lias been in stituted by Pope Urban IV in the year 12(14, The sun shone beautiful and bright and rejoiced with its gra cious and radiant rays many glad and jubilant people who had been kept very busy for several days in setting up outside the church, temporary altars and chapels. One of them was erected on a spot close to the church by the Ladies of St. Ann and was a piece of handsome and delicate work.

It represented a dome, draped in white lace over purple and crowned by the statue of St. Ann. Garlands of verdure hung down on each side of the chapel. The alley that leads to the Oblate Fathers' college presented a most beautiful and fairy-like sight. It was bordered with a double row of masts handsomely decorated with green leaves, designs and banners of various colors.

Green trees, rich draperies and ilags of all kinds adorned the pretty altar that was erected in front oi the college piazza on the top of which was standing a big statue representing our Lady of Pontniain. The Children of Mary also had a re pository of their own set up at the en. trance of the Catholic cemetery. It was a verdant chapel decorated with. beautiful green foliage and natural ilowers of every kind.

At 2 p. m. the bells of the htirch be gan to ring and thus preluded to the starting out of the solemn and impressive procession under the leadership of Messrs. Edward Vincelette Sr. and George Penell aeting'as marshals.

The cross bearer assisted by two ac olytes marched ahead of the procession and were immediately followed by all the boys and girls attending the con vent, the Children of Mary, the La dies of the Sacred Heart, the Ladies of iSt. Ann, St. Cecelia's band, the Ca tholic Foresters, and the members of the League of the Sacred Heart with their irespective banners, badges and 'alias. Then caine little Leo Lois- elle, robed in a red dress and repre senting the Infant Jesus, and attract ing the eyes of all the spectators by his gentle demeanor; as also did the three little girls who, dressed in bright colors, carried a golden cross, anchor and heart, being the emblems of Faith, Charity. Jst behind these came Messrs.

A. M. Monette, Achille Tetrault and BrtfSher Joseph of the -college, acting as chanters, who were preceded by a number of little boys and girls carry ing baskets filled with flowers of every kind which now and then they gently strewed on the ground on their way to the different repositories. T. M.

Aubin, pastor the church, dressed in his full liturgical vestments, walked under a white canopy carrying the Blessed Sacrament. He was escorted by John Carr, George Quinn, James McNally, P. J. Audette, Joseph Paradis, Richard Colomb. Alfred Ladue and George Medor, who acted as canopy bearers.

Then came a large crowd of people marching behind the canopy and thus closed the magnificent procession. 'While the procession was going on St. Cecelia's band, under the skilful direction of Rev. J. M.

Fouillet, 0. S. plzyed several selections and all who heard them were very much pleased with their playing. At each repository the procession stopped while Rev. Father Aubin gave the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Then the procession returned to the church, which was brilliantly decorated for the occasion and where several plain chant motels were sung by the choir in honor of the Holy Eu charist and the final benediction of the Blessed Sacrament given by the pastor of the parish. People of all denominations were very much pleased to notice the perfect order that reigned during the whole time the procession was going on. Rev. Father Aubin is to be con gratulated upon once more giving us an opportunity to witness such an imposing and impressive ceremony. Flag Day.

Charles Walker Who Went From Hew to the Sheldon Poor House Has It-Possibility That Some Have Been Exposed in Swanton.

Charles Walker, who was taken from here to the Sheldon poor house last week Thursday by P. D. Medor, overseer of the poor, is now sick with a well developed case of small pox. Dr. A.

L. Cross went to Sheldon Tues day and in company with Dr. S. AV. Paige of St.

Albans, and Dr. E. V. Brown of Sheldon, saw Walker and pronounced it a case of small pox. Wednesday Dr.

T. R. Stiles of St. Johnsbury, member of the state hoard of health, went to Sheulon and said there was no doubt but what Walker had small pox. Walker had been in St.

Albans re cently and it is thought lie was exposed there. He staid with the family of Dick Winters on Bushey street two nights before he was taken to Sheldon. As soon as Dr. Cross found out it was a case of small pox the Winters family were placed in strict quarantine. He is also taking every precau tion possible to prevent any outbreak of the disease in Swanton.

Dr. Cross says there is, of course, no means of knowing how many persons Walker lias exposed or if he has exposed any. He does not think there is any cause for alarm although he thinks it likely that there may be some cases develop. In the meantime he would advise persons who have not been recently vacillated to attend to the matter at once. WEST SWANTON.

A deluge of agents of all kinds, particularly agents of daily newspapers, life insurance, nursery stock and farming implements, to say nothing of pol iticians, have helped the farmers of this community to pass away what otherwise would have been many dull hours during the past week of rain. Very pretty Pre-Memorial exercises were given by the school children of this place last Thursday afternoon, which were well attended by the par ents and friends. The school room was tastefully decorated with flags, bunting, cedar and potted plants, and the spirit of the day was carried out in every detail. The walls of the room had previously been improved by some fifteen or more framed half-tone reproductions of famous paintings and portraits of eminent men, which have partly been the gifts of interested par ents and friends and partly purchased by a collection taken by the pupils among themselves during the past year. A feature or the afternoon was the opening of the Swanton Center school library, which at present consists of forty small books, comprising biographies, travels, sketches and na ture studies, all raised by popular subscription.
