WOODSTOCK, VT., WEDNESDAY, MAY 81, 1926

pillowing her camphorated head on
his shoulder, the bewildered matron
was again heard to say that she
'.should give up"
Hester Ann Rogers, ''the bonnet
girl aforesaid, said the same a week
later, when she was commissioned to
make Miss Patience's bridal hat. Out
of spite she gave it a very melancholy
effect, bat it suited the wearer all the
better for that.
On her wedding day, Miss Hitchins
cast aside her brown striped dress for
one of lighter hue, and in the fresh
glory of green veil, the "Jack-in-
he-pulpit" was transformed into the
'mournlng BRIDE Of course she had
enough regard for appearances to
weep during the ceremony but it
was not in human nature to remain
long fearful in the sunshine Of Dan.
iel's presence for if ever perfect sat-
jsfaction was seen in this world, it
beamed from his face that day. This
satisfaction was greatly increased by
the fact that Mrs. Getchell was pres
ent at the wedding, and greeted her
new niece most warmly-evcn con-
graduating her on the discovery of
the will, and declaring that she herself
was too old to have the care of farm.
Mrs. Mosely made the cake-which,
to the qualification Of the bride, was a
little heayy-but she protests that
there is not the least truth in the re
port that she made the match.

What Boys Should Learn.

To treat their mother as politely as
if she were a strange lady who did
not spend her life in their service; to
be as kind and helpful to their sisters
as to other boys sisters to take pride
in having their mothers and sisters tor
their best friends to try and find
some amusement for the evening that
all the family can join in, large and
small; to take pride in being gentle,
men at home; to cultivate cheerful
temper to sew on their own buttons;
if they do anything wrong to take
their mothers into their confidence,
and above all, never to lie about any
thing they have done; to make up
their minds not to learn to smoke,
chew or drink, remembering these
things cannot be easily unlearned, and
that they are terrible drawbacks to
good men; to remember that there
was never a vagabcnd without these
habits.

The Centennial.

The idea is, unless it has been
strangely misconceived, that the
whole coming season, dating from the
opening of the Exhibition to its close,
is to be National Holiday. Such a
conception of what belongs to the
wear, with the immortal Fourth of Ju.
ly as the pivotal point, suggests a per
petual round of travel, of visiting
among the States at Philadelphia, of
celebrations of local historic events,
of viewing the collections Of the
worlds industrial, artistic and educa-
tional productions, and of exchanging
mutual congratulations. After the
expected current of travel from the
Old World and from all parts of this
country shall have turned to the cen.
tral point of attraction, it will break
and distribute itself to various direc-
tions over the country. Some it will
take to the seacoast, lingering in the
cities that, like Boston and New York,
offer so many delightful attractions
for passing away time agreeably.
Some will eddy to Newport and Sara
toga and Long Branch, some will rill
itself down the mountain sides, and
the rest will make the continental ven
ture after the vigorous example Of
Dom Pedro, and climb the Sierra Ne
yadas and the vast elevations of the
far West, Our country will be in a
state of unusual activity, aside from
that which the approaching political
discussions will inevitably create. 1t
is going to be lively Centennial, and
the lull in business will only give ev-
erybody the more time to share in it.
The genuine way to show apprecia-
ton of it Is to give up to it as if it
were indeed the event of a lifetime as
we'll as a grand memorial mark in our
national history. This general move
ment and cordial interchange OF social
sentiment will make us one people
more truly than we ever were before.
1t will be worthy incident Of the
time that Emperors and popular SOW
eigns, with Princes and men Of high
and low degree from all quarters OF
the civilized globe, met on our native
soil and became better acquainted.
Our simple republican life will prove
the alembic in which the elements OF
!, different nationalities are thus fused.
Foreigners who will for the first time
participate in our festival of lndepen-
dence Day will catch the spirit OF the
scene, and 60 away bearing with them
impressions of democracy which they
co lid not have obtained SO well i'll any
other way. And on our own side we
shall have learned how TO Introduce q
still greater completely into our repub
licanism, and seen the increased charm
of manners that are not affected BY
any of the starch of pretentiousness
, The mingl,ng Of peoples will be &
y good thing every way, and our advan
tage will consist in the fact that We
: shall not be put to the Inconvenience
of foreign travel in order to enjoy ou'
l privilege. A wiser use Of our Centen
NAL in this age of larger sympathlef
8 could not have been made than TO con
g vert it into an international affair. l

GRANTS CREW IN UTAH.
Who is Responsible for Making Salt
Lake City Almost as Wicked as Wash
ington,

Elder B. F. Cummings, one of Brigham
Young missionaries sent east FROM Salt
Lake to convert the Gentiies to the Nor
mon faith, relates some interesting facts in
regard to the course pursued by President
Grants Indian agents and other officials
in the far west The Elder says that
Grants agents have neither clothed nor
ted the Bannocks, Utes, Shoshones, and
Piutes in Utah and Idaho. and that the
Mnrmops have had to take in hand the
task of furnishing food and clothes to those
Indians Every member Of the Mormon
church is now required by special decree
+ the Prophet 10 pay regular 1.-THE for
the benefit of the Indians. and Mormon
agents are sent out among the savages to
distribute the supplies. The Latter Day
Saints have another object besides minis
.ering to the temporal wants of the red
men, and that is to convert them to Nor
monism. Hundreds of Indians, sottened
by the Kindness of Brigham Young's
agents, have embraced the Mormon faith.
Elder Cummings eoEfesses that it is the
Prophets policy to estrange the savages
from the United States government The
Elder was an eye witness of the outrage
committed by an agent of President Grants
upon tribe of three hundred Indians.
These Indians had been induced by the
Mormons to settle on government land
about sixty miles south of Salt Lake. The
settlers paid taxes to the government, and
had the collectors receipts. The land was
irrigatated and cultivated by the red men,
aud abundant crops were ready to be har-
vested, when the agent of President Grant
sent detachment of United States sl-
diers and drove the Indians off the ground
at the point of the bayonet
Said Elder Cummings: Il see grea,
deal in the newspapers about Grants in
famous whiskey ring in Chicago, but that
is not worse than the whiskey ring in Salt
Lake city. The government officials in
Utah are hand and glove with the liquor
dealers There was time when drunk
ard in Salt Lake city was rare person.
Bat ii es are changed. Licenses TO sell
Intoxicating drink are granted ad libitum,
ard the result is seen in the degentracy of
The morals of the city, The judges Of
Utah are tools of Grant. The government
| officials were the first to encourage prosti-
| sutes in the city, and now Salt Lake is
almost a bad in that respect as Washing
ton city itself

District.
Loss 5000.

Last night about $50 O'Clock, fire origin
ated in the one story frame stable at the cor
ner of ST. Claud and Reyes streets, Third
District, owned and occupied as dairy by
Mr.. Baptiste Senate, which was entirely con-
sumed, together with 80 COWS, horses, 2

A COWHIDING CASE.

Owing either to the present unreasonable
weather, or some peculiar atmospheric agent
operating in the air, we have Of late been
called upon to chronicle more than the usual
number Of pugnacious exhibitions. Tuesday
afternoon Carondelet street was the scene of
another such conflict, aud in this instance
the participating parties were two we'll known
lawyers. 1t seems the elder of the two had
grossly insulted the younger during an argu-
ment, Tuesday, in the Sixth District Court,
but the recipient of the abuse chose to re-
spect the halls of justice, and awaited another
opportunity to seek that redress his violated
feelings demanded.
Meeting his accuser on Carondelet street,
the young attorney could not longer quiet his
feelings, and they accordingly found vent
through the instrumentality of a cowhide.
The assailant was a small and not muscular
man, whilst the cowhidee was a powerful
man, yet the young gentleman got away with
his opponent after giving him severe casti-
cation.
There was considerable excitement on the
street during the encounter, but the Christian
submission of the whipped man quoted it.

The Chinaman's Money.

A cursory perusal of an account Of the
fleeing of the Chinaman who murdered his
wife day or two since, might lead one to be-
lieve that the money alleged to have been Sc
cured by the attorneys had passed through
the hands of the clerk or some other official
at the Third Precinct Station. In justice to
that efficient officer, Capt. Lawler and his
clerk, Mr.. T. Tails, We have to say
that our account of the transaction referred
to did not in the least reflect upon them.
What was published was simply the statement
Of the accused, who asserted he had been IN
knowingly wroDged. The money never
reached the police, but it IS stated was, taken
in charge by the coroner, the amount being
S575.

ROWING EXTRAORDINARY.
INTERESTING DETAILS.

Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock the
boat house Of the Southern Club was honored
by call from that genial gentleman Mr.. N.
H. Bishop. He is rowing from Pittsburg to
the Cedar Keys, to meet the United States
surveying party. The boat in which the gen.
teman rows is IL feet long, feet wide, Is
inches deep, and is decked all over, only leav-
ing a small hole, in which he sits to manage
1t. 1t is built of white cedar, and by the skill
of his own labor.
Coming down the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, he proposes crossing over the Lake to
Biloxi, from there he will move to the Gulf of
Mexico, and from there to Cedar Keys. His
boat is in the Southern boat house, from
which place he will leave at 2 A. NJ to-day.
The boat can stand the toughest kind of
sea, it being built in a peculiar manner.
The deck is sloping from the center on
either side 1t is protected by canvas
apron running all around, and when raised
the man can not be seen. He has a rubber
suit for rain protector, and canned provis-
ions of all kinds, with the regular cooking
utensils
When questioned by our reporter as to the
cause of lis strange journey, he stated that
ne loved rowing, and for exercise he chooses
this mode.
He also stated that he left Pittsburg on De-
cember 2, 1875, but, with all his experiments,
he has not had a single mishap. We wish
him speedy and safe journey.
After the journey he proposes to write a
book on the subject of "Water Sources"

amongst those who felt interested in the Sem
atorial custom as to the Eustis Pinch contest.
Quite number of hats were wagered against
Pinch's success and at late hour the odds
were silk beaver against an ordinary felt hat
that Eustis would be seated. So far, the know
ing ones back Eustis heavily, and when the
denouement comes the hatters will dou btless
be unusually happy.
