About ten years ago he gave the town a building which is among the finest in tho state, hast year Mr. Rogers gave to the town, as a memorial to his daughter Milieent, one of the most beautiful library buildings iu this country, and w' !j it an endowment fund of flOO.000, and tho town waterworks, just completed, were built largely by his old. The new town building occupies un entire square opposite the library building in the center of the town. Samuel L.

Perhaps no one ha ever known a dead man to try to do even the hast little simple thinu without maklUK a boten of It. The truth Is. a dead man ouht to ho hilll nnd keep qiuet and trv to tehave. Hut you can't teach him that: you can't teach him itny useful thin.'. Kvory Illing about him is perishable but nno thlni;. nnd that is Ids inability to accept the fact that eir.-umstances over which ho has no control have limited his uctlvltlcs. And. tlrt nnd last and all tho time, 11 's Im posslulo to make him understand that there is nothing very lanje or tine orircnerous In spend Ins his own money on himself and bulldlni; hospitals with his children's cash. Why. homo peoplo do seem to et duller nnd duller tho deader they itet. Oh. well, perhaps It's no mat ter; It Is tho way thoy are made. I'robably tho mistake was In nnktm; them nt all. 1 mean, If It was a mistake 1 am no Jinlue of that but 1 would not lenvo It to them, It was a pleasant and patriotic tho slit to dedicate this buildini; nnd conllrm thin era e to I'alr Haven on the natal day of Wash hiüton (leoriio Washington.

Hut I am Ml yet: und when I look back wer the waxte or years and call up the Dices or the others nnd know that I shall hce them no more In this lire and that I must remain now solitary and forlornly conspicuous to the last, the sole remnant of that old noblo stock. It makes me feci sad. and. oh! .so Ion--homo' What Iowo to Washington no words of mlno can tell. He was my model from my cradle up. All that lam morally peaklncl owo to hU example. Kven In my tendere.st youth hin bulrlt was ever near, to uldo and succor me. The first time I ever stole a watermelon In my life-1 think It was the llrst time It was the thotuht of Washington that moved meto limit e resiltution restored mo to tho path of rectitude, made me morally whole niraln. V hen found It was a croen watermelon, I was horry- not .superficially, but deeply and Honest ly sory. WASUISUTON SAVUI IHM Thon came tho thnuuht of WashlnKton, nnd I said to myself: "What would Washington do? What would GeortfO Washington do H ho had Mlolen a wiiD'rmelon ifreen oiio-hn would make restitution. That Is what ho would do. And that Is what I did. 1 roso up spiritually refreshed nnd stroni:, and carried tho water melon back to the farmer's wnjjon nnd restored it to him. and said :ho merit was not mine, but WnshlnKton's. And then I felt that Inspiriting something that electrle thrill, that exaltation winch re wards duty done, a moral victory won. a moral heroism added to one's sto-k of dear and precious memories; ami I told the lariner ho ouitlit to le ashamed ot himself, oiiu around worklnif oil itreen watermelons on itcople thnt hail coutldeiico In him, mid made Iii m lvc mo a ripe one for it. And he was ashamed und said he would not over do It njialn so I foruavo hlni.- l'or when a person has done wront; and ncknowledcos Hand Is ashamed of It, that Is enough tor me. It was Washington that saved m nl that time, lie has been my itunrdlau ancel ever since and has hnd an active career. I um In. I and proud to have un opportunity, nt leat, ti help telel rato his memory and do honor to his noi.lc name In the distribution or tho prlvlleses of this platform I was appointed to temper the Klar of the pay nnd tuoiipiitless oratory of those others with the wholesome shudo'v of a few words ot potior advice for there Is a tlrao ror such things, audit Is uicf't that wo recognize this truth nnd rest our spirits with Intcrvaln of seriousness und solemnity.
