Out in the open on the grass-covered space before the cemetery gates the xercises were opened "about 1.30 o'clock by Mre. Silas M. Wheelock, regent of the local chapter. Rev. F. D.

A. R, of its sdeals, policles and hopes, not only of e past, but also for the present and the future. State Regent's Address. Mrs. John L. Buel of Litchfield, state regent, was the first speaker. Mrs. Buel said in part: “Elizabeth Porter Putnam chapter has fulfilled one of the highest duties of American womanhood in erecting this memorial, an act that will stand accredited to it on the books of heaven. Should we forget those who lie here, we would be unworthy to march in the ranks of the living. Memorials like ihese have arisen all over our land, telling their tales of patriotism. The Taughters have been true to their mis. =lon in preserving the traditions of the Over 80,000 Members. Mrs. Buel's address was excellent. In it she briefly traced the history of the rganization of which she is the state head from its foundation twenty years . when it had only a small member- ip, up to the present time. It now has 80,000 members, with chapters in every quarter of the United States. Her words carried to her auditors a clear conception of the great patriotic work that these thousands of members sre engaged in and.of the wider scope £ ined for the future. of werk ou Miss Larned Heard. en D. Larned of Thompson, lov- ingly referred to by Mrs. Wheelock as Windham county’ historian, was the next speaker. Her address of about ten minutes, delivered from the ton- neau of the touring car in which she sat throughout the exercises, was chiefly historical and was followed with the closest attention. Miss Larned told of how the old cemetery is asso- ciated with the beginning of civiliza- fon in this corner of the state anq also mueh of Peter Aspinwall of Woodstock, who gave the now sacred spot to the town of Killingly in 1720, Putnam at that time not having been incorporated as a town. A Pioneer Colonist. Of Peter Aspinwall's career in those strenuous days and of his standing in his home town Miss Larned spoke at considerable length. He was located at Woodstock before the advent of the first resident into what is now the town of Putnam, having settled in the midet of the Nipmuck wilderness in 1686, It was in 1691 that it was de- cided to cut a way through the unset- tled country to Providence by way of High falls (now Cargill falls) and Peter Aspinwall was the leader in do- ing the work. It was close by this road that Aspinwall In later years %\'e a piece of his land to the town of liingly for a cemetery, and in the #irst to be interred were relatives of the donor.

Aspinwall also led a quota of men from Woodstock in the French and Indian war. Tt was such a patriot as gave the land where descendants of many who are buried there gathered Tuesday to do honor te their memory. and undying deeds. Miss Larned mentioned in the course of her addresa, which was delivered without notes, many other early set- s In this region. The Unveiling. The pretty ceremony of uaveiling the memorials followed the address by Miss Larned, the national flags which hid the tablets being drawn aside by the little Misses Mary Carpenter and Eleanor C.

The Wesleyan Bulletin for June has been issued. It is reported that about $200,000 of the $1,000,000 wanted has been raised and that the Rockefeller board has promised $100,009 condition- al upon the raising of the entire sum Attention has been called to the need of a mew chemical laboratory and a new library building. The need of the latter is urgent. The present building is_too small. It §s planned to increase the college numbers to 500 men and it isdpointed out that as unremitting work will be required to reach this end much will depend upon the alumni. On May 5 Weslevan was placed on the list of colleges receiving the bene- fit of the Carnegie foundation. New entrance examinations have been pro- vided in Latin. Since the last bulletin 507.05 has been received from _the North college building fund. Securities to the ue of 350,000 have been se- cured from Judge Reynolds of Brook- Ivn.

Some of these pioneers die on the plains, not virile enough to eross the centuries,and the purists rot with them. The really apt slang words inherit the earth, the people and the dictionaries. They are born on the athletic field or in the stress of crowded life, where short cut speech Is a necessity. You find them first in the yellow journals and the mouths of babes.

I don’t know which is cause and which is effect; whether the nose is big because a suc- cession of severe colds has extended the cartliage or whether the colds are heavy because the nose affords such ample breeding space.
