WHITTIER DRIFTING 2

Mrs. FELTON, don't like "orgauiz-
ed" Democracy, but seems to like
"orgauized" Repoblicanism, or she
would not have penned letter to
Senator Ferry, asking his influence
in behalf of her husband to beat the
Democratic nominee. Senator Fer~
ry is head and front of the great
"organized" Radical party of the
United States, the enemy of the
democratic party. 1t is time for the
democratic followers of DR.. FELTON, to
stop and see where he is leading
them to. Surely Senator Ferry and
leaders of the Republican party
are not the ones for Democrats to
write friendly" letters to asking
aid and influence to crush demo~
cratic candidates.

eres obtains printed rules and in

the great majority string up the
bow, hang up the target aud whang
away without intelligence. The
following rules will apply to all and
every locality:
DON'T attempt to hold the bow in
both hauds when you shoot.
If you shoot over the target, low
er it. If you shoot under it have it
elevated.
When you miss the target and
plow q fnrrow along boys scalp,
tally two, one for the scalp and one
for the boy.
4 Either close both eyes or keep
both open when you shoot. Some
favor one method and some the
other, but odds is the difference, as
long as your father employees a
glazlier by the month.
Don't attempt a curve-shot. The
arrow is as apt to come down on the
baby's head as elsewhere.
Some girls squint up one eye and
hang out their tongue when they
pull the bow. This is not absolut-
ly necessary to line shot, though
it does look romantic.
There is no particular distance
to be obseaved, but the nearer you
stand to the target the more
chance you have of hitting some
one across the street in the eye.
A center shot is called a''duffer )"
missing the target is termed a "lone
hand; hitting the horse-barn is
known as "phoopee )" missing the
barn and shooting your Aunt's
spectacles off her nose is called q
"Tom. tom )" shooting across a young
mans shoulder is known as "snuf-
fes;" sitting down and shooting
backward over your head is known
as 'sbluffng the game" and holding
a spy glass up to get line shot is
called 'smashing the mark"

The Introduction of the "Buck-
boards' into Vermont.
A Castleton correspondent Of the


A Castleton correspondent of the
Rutland Herald writes to that pa
per as follows: "There are some
amusing incidents connected with
the use Of the vehicle known as the
"buck- board" in Vermont. The
first one was brought into the State
by A. W. Hyde, Of Castleton, in
the year 1910, who then controlled
the stage line from "Ti." to Lake
George. He went to Lake George
in the spring Of that year to make
arrangements for the seasons busi-
ness and "Whit" Holcomb owned
the ''buck-board" upon which Mr..
Hyde made the trip. The road was
very uneven and rough and Mr..
Hyde insisted, as the vehicle car
ried him very easily and pleased
him much, on becoming its pro-
prietor. A trade was effected, and
Mr.. Hyde took his possession to
Castleton. Soon after it's appear
ance there it had numerous imita-
tors and every set of old wheels in
town were soon fitted with a board
and seat. At that time they were
made some twelve feet long, Of a
clear pine board twenty seven
inches wide, and gave more spring
than one Of modern proportions.
Among other Castleton men who
had "buck-boards," was Hiram
Ainsworth, who owned a very nice
one, some fourteen feet long and
thirty two inches wide. Once upon
a time he wished to 60 to New
York, and taking Gustayus Buel as
a companion, he mounted his "buck-
board" and set out for Albany, there
to take the steamboat "Knicker.

mander. The ride was a pleasant
one as they followed the valley of
the Hudson, and nothing occurred
to mar the pleasure of the trip.

arrived on the outskirts of Albany.

crowd to gather about the monde

was SO tempting that many boys

drive toward the capitol, but did
not make his calculation all right.
The stem brought up against the
awning post in front of the Marble
Pillar. Ainsworth and Buel were
in a dilemma. The crowd began to
increase. Buel mounted the seat
and said: "Gentlemen, we are the
forerunners of a mammoth free
show. The main show is now in
front of the Delevan, performing.
If you will hurry up there you will
be able to see the most magnificent
show in America, free." The crowd
hurried to see the show, and with
the assistance of Mr.. Lathrop of the
Mansion House, the blackboard was
unhitched, and Guy had a hearty
laugh over the trials of his Castle

Quincy Adams" was delivered last night by Judge
Noah Davis under the auspices Of the Alexander Lit

The lecturer began by quoting Johnsons saying.
that Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels,r
and declared it false that other saying.
Religion is tho cloak Of hypocrites," The speaker
said he did not intend to discuss the theme
in general. but to illustrate it by the life
and public services of of the most
distinguished men of his country-John Quincy
Adams. "Mr. Adams early childhood" he
said, twas passed in the most wonderful
years preceding the Revolution. His boyhood was
spent abroad in connection with the diplomatic SER
vice of his father. Returning to this country he at
trac.ed great attention by published articles on
the policy of the United States which he declared to
be union at home and neutrality and independence
OF all entangiing alliances abroad. While Senator
from his native State Of Massachusetts he was noted
from party ties. These traits Of character
gained him many enemies utter his election
to the Presidency. He always rigidly re-
fused to allow political opinions to control his
appointments to office. At the expiration Of his
term he retired to private life. Soon after he was
elected Representative in Congress. He stood, man
of eighty, in the councils OF the nation. linking the
third generation with the past. In contemplating
the character of Mr. Adams Is most struck with
cings to the past, but Adams equal to the most
