Memoranda.

In the frequent and severe changes
of the weather at this time of the year,
people should take extra care of their
health. Hard colds are the causes of
a multitude of other disorders. Good
sound health is the best kind of wealth,
as all discover sooner OF later. Old
Mother Partington was both apt and
truthful when she declared that, "There
is no blessing like health, particularly
when you are sick"
1t would seem that those who de
pend upon others for their bread and
position, ought to try and he reaSona-
ably affabIe and courteous, to say the
least, instead of being SO obSTeperous
and important. This study Of human
nature is great thing, and we don't
believe the subject is half exhausted
yet.
Two funny extremes in society: Par
ties who will scOld, ridicule and disbe-
lieve everything, and others who will
swallow everything whole, without
stopping to see what they are about
Both parties are always in hot water.

ST. JOIINSBURY, VT, FRIDAY, IL,

Corporal Tanner, the well-known
stump speaker, whose wife taught him
to read, so they say, and writes all his
speeches, has been for some time Col
lectOr of Brooklyn. He has no legs
having lost them both by cannon shot
at the first Bull Run, which cut his
brief career as a soldier very short, but
plenty of hard horse sense. He has
earned the praise of every taxpayer
who has steadily grOwled all his respon-
sible life at the bother of coming up to
the captains Office to settle by sending
out bills and inviting the recipients to
pOny-up by mail. The innovation has
been remarkably popular and has been
responded to most cheerfully. The re-
suits of the first days sitting at the re-
ceipt of custom, were no less than S2,-
000,O00 and Tanner has a capital chance
of being elected Collector again. PeO-
pie don't forget this sort of thing and it
is remarkable contrast to the Jack in
office surliness and disObliging demean-
or of the great majority of Office holders
who seem to think it part of their du-
ty to snub the people who pay their sal
aries.
Another bogus British Lord has been
arrested after victimizing innumerable
title wOrshiping snObs. He claims that
it is a case of mistaken identity, and it
really seems not impossible that he
may not be the identical swindler he is
supposed to be, and that there may be
two of the same kidney. At any rate,
| shall await developments and may
have right racy story for you in my
next letter. RADIX.

certain divorce proceedings in the City
of Churches the other day as the keeper
of matrimonial bucket-shop. 1t was
elected in evidence that he had been
thirty years il minister, never had Il

In the last six months he had married
483 couples, and as long as the fee,

were justified in getting married OF not

from the Assistant State Librarian,
Thomas L. Wood of Montpelier. He
states, "Deming's Vt. Officers gives
James Whitelaw as 1st town Represent
ative from Ryegate in 1876, but there
is no other authority, and his own ta-
bles do not show it," 1t is more than
probable that Gen. Whitelaw was
the first Representative,-he has been
termed, "the father of Ryegate," which
he richly deserved, and was the most
prominent of its early men. In poll
tics he was Federalist. In the records
of Ryegate Josiah Page appears as Rep
resentative in 1899, who was the first
could find there, but often the early
Representatives were not recorded.
The politics of only eleven of the
later ones have been given by the libra
rian, although requested by me, to give
all. Five are marked by me as un-
known, as there is doubt in the matter,
but William Nelson was a strong sup
porter of the war party in lSl2-14.
have marked many from personal
knowledge or tradition. For some for
ty years in the early history of Ryegate,
Nelson was the form of spelling his
name, and that Of his pOsterity, which
was the exact Scotch pronunciation.
Now it is Nelson. John Cameron was
always called Judge Cameron in Rye
gate, after his appointment to that of
fee in 1914, and his son, who was also
a grandson of Gen. Stark, was called
Col John Cameron.

There was quite scene in the Gal
weston court house the other day. A
young lawyer had just finished an i'm
passiOned appeal, and dropped, as he
thought, into a chair, but missed the
chair. AS he struck the floor there was
an explosion, as if young cannon had
exploded, creating much excitement.
The prevailing opinion was that pis-
tol had exploded in his pocket, but up
on raising him up, it was found he had
tlattened out beautiful silk hat. 1t
seems that an old but reckless member
of the bar was to blame for the explO-
sion. When the younger lawyer was
about to sit down, the elder pulled the
chair away, but he had forgotten that
his own silk hat was under the very
chair. The elder lawyer laughed bois-
terOusly until he Identified the mutilat-
ed hat as his own, and then he smiled
such a siclly smile that had it been
photographed and sent to the Houston
board of health, they would have been
fully justified in quarantining at once.
He says that is no way for a man to try
on a hat, anyhow.

with a critical eye, to note what chang
es were required, when the shrill whis-
tie of the express sounded loud and
clear on the sweet spring air. Going
out on the little porch, which, covered
with clinging vines shaded the western
door, she gazed anxiOusly down the
road. Henry bad never brought friend
home to tea before, and she was just
little nervous in anticipation.
At last she caught sight of Henry as
he turned the corner. Was he alone
surely his friend was not with him.
just at that moment the gleam of lit
tie scarlet dress beside him, sent the
blood from her checks, while n great
thrOb of joy filed her heart. Breaking
away from her bother's hand, the child
came flying up the path, her bright hair
blown back from her sweet, excited
face. Springing into her mothers arms
she exclaimed, between hugs and
kisses:
ooh mamma, mamma darling, I've
come home to stay for always. | amt
ever going back to Aunt Jen's again,
and you amt going to do any more
washing or anything, and Henry's paid
the mortgage. So, they can't take our
home away, and we're all going to live
here together, and-oh, mamma, amt
you glade"
"Henry," gasped Mrs. Hartly, her
white face turned toward him. "What
does she mean ? Is it true ?"
eyes, mother, it is all true" and the
noble boy who had kept his secret so
long in his heart, knelt down beside his
mother, laying his head upon her breast

vent in great sObs which shook his slen-
der form, and the mother, kissing his
wet face, mingled her tears with his,
while Allie sto0d back and gazed at
them in wide-eyed wonder. At last
drawing a long breath, she exclaimed:
''Well, | don't see what you're crying
"That's so, mother" laughed Henry,
ing for I'd like to know. See here, AL
lie, what jolly supper mother has got
for u.s."
81 always knew there was uncOm-
mon stuff in that boy, you remember
used to say that he wasn't saving of his
money for nothing" said Mrs. Blake
over the partition fence, as large dog
ran out of her back door with the steak
she had been preparing for dinner in his
mouth.
"That's So" returned Mrs. Thorn,
"and what an example for other boys
to follow. have always thought how
proud I would be to have a boy like
Henry Hartly."
"Three cheers for Henry Hartly,
boys" cried Tom Barton, tossing up his
hat as he entered the play ground.
"He wasn't stingy and tight, after all,
and he says that he will go to our next
sleigh-ride aed take the prettiest girl in
town-that little blue-eyed sister of
his"
