PAGE 6 OLE AN S COUNTY MONITOR, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1915 COUNTY PICNIC A SUCCESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE , thither. Using the steps as a rostrum, the exercises opened with the singing of "America" by the audience, led by A. R. Cowles of Barton. A. Slayton Lang of Barton assisted with the clarinet and Mr. Pierce of Chicago at the organ. Rev. A. W. Barnlund of Westfield then offered prayer and there was another song by the audience. Officers of the Histori cal society elected for the next year are as follows: F W. Baldwin. Bar ton, president; W. S Robbins of Derby, 1st vice-president; C. S. Emery of Newport, 2d vice-president; Wal lace H. Gilpin of Barton, secretaiy treasurer; Rev. M. W. Fainam of Westfield, chaplain. Mr. Baldwin explained the work and aim of the Orleans County Historical society, which is to prepare, recoid and preserve articles bearing upon those things in the county's history which so early become lost and forgotten, but which are interesting and essential to the perpetuation of the spirit and purpose of our pioneers. He stated that while most of the counties of the state have had historical societies, the Orleans County organziation is the only county society now existing. Mr. Baldwin explained the special purpose of that meeting was to see if means could not be devised for the preserva tion of the historic "Old Stone House" in its present state. Reading the roll of students from certain catalogs of the Twilight school printed before 1850, to which relatives present responded, brought out the fact that there were fully 40 relatives and descendants of the students, whose names were read, present, and the complete roll of students would have brought the number of relatives and descendants present up to more than 100. There were six persons present who roomed in the old "Stone House," and went to school to Mr. Twilight. They were Mrs. 0. H. Austin, aged 76, Orleans, Mrs. L. A. Parlin,91, Charles ton, Mrs. Ellen Ferrin,79,Brownington, Mrs. Cummings, 73, Browning ton, Mrs. Abbie Whipple,82,West Burke and Mrs. Susan Seavey, 84. Brownington whose pictures accompany this article. President Baldwin read extracts from a very complete historic article on the "Old Stone House" and other early activities in Brownington by C. A. Stewart, on the occasion of a meet ing of the historical society in Brown ington in 1888, and came to the busi ness of getting at some tangible method of raising funds with which to pur chase the "Old Stone House." It was thought wise to incorporate and make a canvass for funds and a com mittee composed of G. J. Gross of Orleans, W. S. Robbiiis of Derby, O. C. Miller of Newport, A. C. Chase of Greensboro and Wallace H. Gilpin of Barton was appointed to cany forward plans. , t Mr. Baldwin then introduced Con gressman Dale, who spoke eloquently of the worth of such efforts as this undertaken by the Orleans County His torical society. Mr. Dale's grand father Hinman was the first settler in Derby and as judge held his second term of couit in Brownington, then a Jialf share with Craftsbuiy. Mr. Dale said that we were gathered there not merely because of the wonderful structure Mr. Twilight built long years ago and left as a visible but material mark of his work but because of the spirit and imperishable impress he left upon the lives with which he came in contact. He said that while we in mind go back to the days of the construction of the stone building for inspiration as Mr. Twilight in naming the buildine. "Athenian" hall went back to ancient myths for inspiration, we could not cro back to do their work, but must go forward. There is always work ahead. It is certain the gathering broke up feeling that the meeting had been worth while and credit is due Messrs Gross. Wyman and Dutton for such splendid arrangements. ----sw-st-rwsapfcijr ' "TP'S - v rf; .if t C PREMIUM AWARDS (Continued from last week) POULTRY G C Bartlett,.

MITCHEL VTf f VVVVVVVfVTVVVV fTTVVT Emmet Doolan, a young man living in County Tipperary, Ireland, was one day walking on the bank of the river Suir doing a hard job of thinking. His eyes were on the ground before him, and so intent was he on the subject that he did not even hear a bird chirp ing in a tree above his head. Sudden ly he was stopped both in his progress and his reverie by a girl who stood di rectly before him and was looking at him with a merry face. "What are you thinking about. Em met, that you can't see a yard before you?" A change came over the young man's face at sight of the cheery maiden be fore him. His own lighted up with a momentary pleasure. "I'm goin' to America, Eileen," he said, "and, conslderin' that I haven't a penny to me name, I was wonderln' how I was goin' to get there. It was now the girl's turn to look so ber. The twinkle left her eye, and the smile left her lips. "And what are you goin' to America for, Emmet?" she asked in a tremu lous voice. "To make me fortune." "And leave your poor old father?" "Yes." "And your mother what will she do without the boy she loves so well?" "Yes, I must leave both, father and mother. I'm doin 'em no good here, and once In America, where they say there's plenty of work for all, I may bo able to send 'em enough to make 'em comfortable." They walked to the bank of the rivet and sat down on the turf tinder a tree. Eileen had spoken one word for Em met's parents and two for herself. The two had grown up together, and, though they had not been aware of it, this intention of Emmet to put 3,000 miles of ocean between them had re vealed it to Eileen and had given a glimmer of it to Emmet. The mind of man full of plans for conquest doe3 not so readily settle upon the senti mental features of life as the woman whose Inactive sphere gives her more opportunity. Eileen sat mute and de jected. "You, don't approve of my plan?" said Emmet. "Will you tell me why?" To this there was no answer. "You're thinkin maybe that it's fool ish for a man to talk about goin' to a foreign country when he has no money 'to pay his way." Still there was no reply. Eileen sat looking, down. on the gently flowing river beneath themi apparently as much wrapped in feeling as Emmet had been in thought when they met "If It's leavin' father and mother you're thinkin' of I believe I can do 'em more service by goin where I'll get plenty of work and good pay than stayin' here, where there's little work and poor pay." Even this suggestion failed to elicit any word from Eileen. Emmet was looking down upon her and saw that her eyes were wet "Tell me. Eileen," he said softly, "why you oppose my goin' to America." She looked up at him. and at last he received his answer. "I don't ivant you to go." The few words, spoken almost in a whisper, revealed to the man not only that the girl loved him, but revealed to him that she was as much to him as he was to her. It was the only proposition ever made between them that their lives should be linked, and, singularly enough, it came from the girl. But it sufficed for these two low ly creatures, and it enabled Emmet to epeak more plainly to tell her that he would not only send his parents the wherewithal to make them comforta ble, but would work hard and save every penny that he might have enough beyond what he needed for them to send for her, and they would found a home in the new country where so they believed all grew rich. How Emmet Doolan managed to get to America without the where withal to pay his way concerns this story only so far as to show that a man who could accomplish such a feat was bound to succeed. And Emmet did succeed in time, though he found it up hill work. Had his mind not been fixed on a definite purpose he would prob ably not have had the stimulus to work and pinch that he might accom plish it and attain his goal. Eileen was not the girl to let her lover do all that they required. She obtained a position as lady's maid In the home of a wealthy family in Dub lin, where she received good wages, nearly all of which she saved. Long before Emmet was able to send his father and mother any funds Eileen was sending them small amounts, which she permitted them to think came from their son in America. They discovered the deception In time, but not till Emmet himself began to remit Of the two lovers Eileen advanced the more rapidly so far as savings were concerned. Emmet had his trade to learn, and it was hard snatching at times even to make a living for him self. He was not only a faithful work er, but had a mechanical bent which served him well. Even as a helper he managed to save a little, though hd sometimes went hungry to do so. But when he became so proficient in his trade as to command the regular union wage his finances began to : Improve rapidly. All this took time. It was several years before he was able to $arn his $4 a day, and even then there was not always work to do. It was not till Emmet had been in America four years that he began to put aside a fund to bring Eileen to him. This fund "he started at the tjeglnnlhg "ofTa new year and calculated that he would have enough by the following autumn to buy Eileen's ticket across the water. Unfortunately he was laid up by ill ness soon after he began to put aside this fund and was idle for two months. Eileen received a letter early in January telling her of her lover's in tentions and another shortly afterward that he was laid up with an illness. She had saved enough money to pay her way to America and made up her mind to go to Emmet of her own ac cord since he was not able to send for her. She came to this resolution In February, but it was March before she could make her arrangements to de part Then, too, she must go home to say goodby to her parents and re ceive a blessing from Emmet's father and mother to take to him. However, she got away at last, anxious to reach her lover, who was still an invalid. Eileen's intention was to surprise Emmet, and in none of her letters did she give him the slightest hint of her coming. She wrote him that she long ed to be able to nurse him back to health, and he replied gratefully that if she were with him he would recover more rapidly, but his greatest disap pointment was that he was using up the fund he had started with which to bring her to him in necessary expenses. Including doctor's bills. The last letter Emmet received from home before Eileen sailed was from his mother. She was a very pious, wo man and had often written her son to be sure not to neglect his church du ties. In this letter she told him that she was sending him a gift that he would receive on or about St Pat rick's day. She believed that it would make him well, for she sent with it her blessing. Emmet was very curious to know what this gift was his mother A F Hinckley, West Glover rec eived on dogs 1 first, amounting to $1.00.

"I'm the gift your mother sent you, Emmet," she said. "Both she and your father hoped I would arrive on St. Patrick's day. They said they'd be thinkin of us all this blessed day as bein' together." "Thanks be to God!" was all the in valid could say, clasping his arms about Eileen. "And now that I've come you must get well right away." "That I will. I'm thinkin' I'm well already. But how did you manage about the money for your passage, Eileen, seeln I had none to send you?" "I saved it from my wages." At that moment there came strains of martial music from without "If s the parade," said Emmet "I'm thinkin' Til get up and we'll have a look at it" "Are you strong enough?" "Strong enough? I could carry an ox on me back now." Emmet wrapped In the bedclothing, with Eileen's assistance, managed to get to a window, where a chair was placed, for him. The arrival of his love, the sight of the paraders moving by, the sound of bugle and beat of dram, were so Inspiring that he said If he had known how strong he was he would be marching with them, and Eileen heeded to hold him in his chair to keep him from starting up. She managed to keep him quiet by giving him a green flag to wave to the boys below, while with the other hand he held hers under the window sill, where they could not be seen. Under such a stimulus Emmet could not be kept in bed. He was soon up for good, the banns between him and was Eileen were published In the church sending him and wondered how it would come. He saw no way except by express, and, although his mother had his address, he sent a postcard to each express company's local office that it might not be delayed for want of his street and number. On the morning of St Patrick's day Emmet's gift had not arrived. There was a telephone in the house in which he lived, and since he was too weak to leave his bed he asked his landlady to telephone the express offices to ask if any package had been received for him. Every office declared that noth ing had been received for him, and he was disappointed. About 11 o'clock in the morning the landlady came to his room and said to him: "Your St. Patrick's day gift from Ire land has arrived. Shall I bring it up?" "Of course. Bring it up at once." "I don't know that I'm able to car ry It" "Is it very heavy?" Y "I think It . must weigh about 100 pounds." "Well, well! I suppose it must stay there till I can get up and handle it myself." "Maybe it can come of itself." Before Emmet could reply to this apparently absurd proposition the door was flung open, and Eileen ran to Em met's bed and, kneeling beside It, and they were duly married, but this was not till Emmet had returned to work and they had hired rooms, which they entered immediately after the wedding. An this occurred' years ago. Emmet is now a contractor and has built many a structure of which he may be justly proud and which together have made him prosperous. He and Eileen have a large family. The holiday the chil dren enjoy most is Christmas, but for their parents St. Patrick's day Is near est to their hearts. SAID OF BEAUTY.
