IL Was Tapped By Miller and Couldn't he
stopped.
William Chaplin, of the Board OF Agri-
culture, has an eye for many things be-
sides those relating to Jerseys, ferti-
lizers, swapping horses and new-process
butter-making. At the recent meeting
of the board at Glover he discovered
something interesting respecting Kun
away Pond" He says:
81 was much interested in an account
read me from manuscript by one of the
aged men of Glover concerning the out
going of Runaway Pond in Glover, June
g. 1910. Some of the incidents have
never been in print, so far as know.
Mr.. O, V. Percival has gathered these
ia, is from the lips of those present on
that memorable occasion. The pond,
one and a half miles long and one mile
wide. was one hundred feet deep in some
places 1t had it's natural outlet south
into the Lamoille valley, but on this
9th day of June, 1910, the miller on
little stream to the north undertook,
18th some thirty of his friends to steal
out a little water to go their way, that
the miller might grind his corn When
they had dug trench through the bank
into the pond, and the water flowed
nicely, they all got out to take drink
of rum. as was the fashion of that day.
Suddenly the water stopped running in
the trench, but they heard strange
gurgling beneath. One of the leaders
of the company-Spencer Chamberlin-
jumped down to see what was the
trouble. Immediately he began to sink
..1re rlt
bv the hair of his head and pulled out
by his alarmed comrades.
1.-The whole pond was going, fast and
furious. 1t sucked through the widen
ing, deepening gorge. Who should warn
the people below? Who should tell the
miller's wife, who was grinding grist
in her husband s absence? There was a
hurried consultation. Who was strong
est. bravest, fieetest of foot? Spencer
Cham berlin was chosen, and with quick
goodbye to his companions he bounded
down the rough ravine, gained the head
of the flood and sped on for the mill.
Dame Wilson had ground the grist but
was still in the mill, the old horse
/ hitched to post near the door, when
/ Chamberlin rushed in and without
/ MANY words seized the woman with one
arm and the grist with the other, and
make break for higher land Getting
/ out of the mill he saw the raging torrent
coming grinding crushing
down tho valley He dropped the grist
and saved the woman. The old horse
either died at his post or foundered on
his first voyage. At all events he was
never found.
Goodman Wilson was no doubt re-
ioiced to ind his wife safe, but had to
mourn the loss of mill, machinery. mill
stones, dam and ALL also the toll of that
last grist. Such a flood now passing
down that valley would do immense
damage to life and property in the low
built villages of Glover and Barton; but
there is no danger. The old bed of the
pond is now covered with grass and
bushes and the main road runs through
it. | is a lonesome, dreary place, and
nobody blames the pond for running
away when it had SO good a chance. y

A Political Paradox.

In the Fbywm Leonard w. Bacon lays
down this rule When elections are
close, the course of political party In
ihvsrsely ~ the character Of Its mem.
ben." Hls argument b in substance
that the course Of { party IL determined
not by it, members, but by itssleaders,
who are ruled BY the necessity Of gain
ing or saving doubtful votes. There are
voters who may be won, aud Others who
may be lost, and the opinions of these
two classes receive the attention Of the
leaders, while the :steadfast voter, Of
whose allegiance they are certain In all
emergencies, receives little attention.
A party strong In the allegiance of the
worst elements Of society, and needing
only few thousand OF the best TO se-
cure the victory, will nominate men and
adopt principles calculated to tempt the
needed votes. A party assured Of the
allegiance Of the great mass Of good cit
izens, and yetaYning vicious and merce-
nary camp followers, will be guided to
suit this vicious element, and the tail
will wag the dog" Mr.. Bacon applies
these points to the Democratic and Re-
publican parties In the North and South,
and makes his argument by assuming
that the Republican party IL, on the
whole, made up of tho best elements Of
society In the North, while In the South
the reverse Is the case. Granting, for
the sake Of argument, that he is right,
we find the best element OF the North
arrayed against the best of the South,
and they cannot both lie guided by the
same bad element, or we would find the
nation going headlong to ruin because !:
+. All agree TO spoil the public good,
And villains fntten on the poor mans labor."
Mr.. Bacon fails entirely to take into
consideration the bearing Of the race
problem on this matter. The Demo-
cratic party of the South does not need
to cater to its worst elements, because
the race problem overshadows every
other consideration, and makes the
party so strong that there is no tempta-
tion to submit to unworthy leadership
so as to gain few votes. So the race
question has Its benefits as well as periIs,
and the Democratic party guards the
nation from ruin by the worst element
Of the Republican party, upheld, accord
ing to Mr. Bacon, by the best elements
Of Northern society. But 1t Is not true
that throughout the North there Is any
such division Of society on party lines,
and every fair man knows 1t. The
Democratic party, by traditions and
teachings, is the party Of the poor man
and also commands the allegiance of a
large, If not overwhelming, proportion
Of the thinkers. 1t can not claim the
wealth that gives victory aud power to
Blaine, Wanamaker and Quay, but It
does appeal to the solid worth OF the
people to save the nation from them.

Specimen beans Of some fraudulent coffee
that has lately been put upon the market
were sent to Chemist Martins Office at
sanitary headquarters, New York, on Thurs
day. They are of tho size and general ap-
pcarance of Mocha beans, but would not
deceive experts. Lots of the genuine beans
and of the fraudulent were put side by
side. The trouble Is that they are mixed,
and 1t Is thus that the spurious bean passes
muster. DIR. Martin is having 1t analysed
to find out just what 1t is made of. He
does not belive it contains any hurtful in
gradients. The fraud probably goes no
further than the substitution of flour paste,
with little coloring matter, for the coffee.
If so the health authorities cannot inter-
fere. DR.. Martin says that he received the
beans week or so ago from Dir. Newton,
the state food commissioner of New Jer-
sey, who had just seized couple of tons
of the spurious beans I'm Trenton. These
beans proved to have come from Phila-
delphia.
