pass the door rs quietly as possible, and
our little tongues left of chattcring. But
ut no time through his busy life was he too
busy to think of us, to amuse us, or to in
tcrest himself in all that concerned us.
Ever since ! can remember anything ! re
member him as the good genius of the
house, and as its happy, bright and funny
genius. He had Il peculiar tone of voice
and way of speaking for each of his child
rem, who could tell, without being called

He had funny songs which he used To sing
to them before they went To bed. one in
particular, about an old man who caught
cold and rheumatism while sitting in an
omnibus, was a great taYorlte, and as II
was accompanied by sneeZc, coughs and

pcnse Of the Military History, that we

essary to say that it was wholly unsoic-

especial value to its statements, for Mr.

The Montpelier Argus in recent cd-
torial described the forthcoming military
history of the part taken by the Vermont
soldiers in the war of the rebellion us II
Fat JOB and i'll proof cited the fact that
Mr. Benedict, who was appointed military
historian by Gov. Proctor in 1879 had al
ready drawn some five thousand dollars
for his services and expenses in the prep
aration of this work. We have made some
inquiry concerning the justice of this
charge of the liUuS, and feel satisfied
that Mr. Benedict has done nothing in the
matter that calls for any dcnunCidtOn.
As we understand it, Gov. Proctor took
counsel of the soldiers of the State in 1919
and appointed Mr.. Benedict to prepare this
imnortnut record upon the ground that no

Hathaway VIZ, Barker.

Woonsocket (Dak.) special: The Bar
kerr Hathaway scandal has to-day been
revived by the report that Mrs. Hatha-

the name of j. L, Barker married the
present Mrs. Hathaway in New York.
and two years afterward Mrs. Hathaway.
without "just cause or provocntion," left
Bsrker's bed and board, End to what
part OF tbe.country she departed was not
known, Some six gears ago Mr.. Barker
married the present Mrs. Barker, believ-
ing that the former Mrs. b. was dead.
La the course of the rapid development
of Dakota, and the remarkably
fine opening for business in Woonsocket,
both parties drifted to this place, Barker
engaging in farming and Hathaway OPP
sned a laundry. Our city was Eot large
enough so, but it was learned by Hath
away that Barker was here. Although
it is reported that Mrs. Hathaway has a
husband living near here, she could not
withstand the temptation of having a
scene, and consequently presented her
self, revolver in land, and demanded the
property of both Barker and wife. Mr..
B. deeming that discretion is the better
part of valor, gathered together the
ready cash belonging to himself and
wife, and following the steps of his
former wife, left for parts unknown

yesterday drew a revolver on MIS-. Bar
ker, and but for the timely interference
of MIR. Ramsey, who took the revolver by
force from MIR. H., it is thought Mrs. B
would have been shot. Miss Dunr
then demanded the revolver from the
