Hampshire with the coming of the spring.
Just what the authority is on which
this statemant is made we have no means
of knowing, but there is nothing at all
unlikely in the story. French Canadians
already own many farms in Northern
New England, although their numbers
have been greatly exaggerated. They
are a thrifty people, and contrive to live
where a modern Yankee would starve.
But of more importance than anything
else in this connection is the fact that
the French Canadians have children and
that these children are brought up to
work and to work hard. 1t is well
known fact that the roofs of the New
England farm houses which shelter Yam
kee farmers shelter very small number
of Yankee babies, and that as the years
go by the babies thus sheltered are de-
creasing and not increasing in numbers.
In the less pretentious houses of the
French Canadians near by are always to
be found swarms of children, who are
made to work and who generally stand
by the farm much longer than the boys
and girls of Yankee parentage. What
ever may be the final outcome of New
England's problem so far as the farms
and farmers are concerned, one thing
must be kept constantly in mind, and
that is that if the New England farmers
want to see the New England farms re-
peopled by Yankee stock they must
raise the stock. The baby, very i'm
portant factor in the family, is an equally
important factor in the New England
problem.

Mrs. Eleota wInslOw.

Mrs. Electa Winslow, of whose obsC
quies slight mention was made in on
columns Of last week, whose long lif
of ninety.six years, eight months AM
twenty-three days having been passe'
in this town, the place of her birth, ha'
so identified herself with its early his
tory, and more especially with that par
of it in which great majority Of he
years were spent, seems to call for more
than a passing notice.
Her maiden name was Nichols. Sht
was born ON the 2Sth day of March, 1874
near what is known as the Nichols
bridge. Her fathers family are well and
favorably remembered by the older in.
habitants of our town and have all
passed away leaving record of exem.
plary Christian zeal, earnest piety and
good citizenship.
She united with the then only church
in Bennington, 1.-THE First Church of
Christ" ON the first day of July, 1911,
at the age of II years, and remained a
consistent member thereof until she,
with A other members of that church,
having asked for and received letters of
commentator from the parent church,
united themselves with the Second Con-
gregational Church in Bennington on
the 9th of April, 1895, the day of its
organization.
With the exception of Mrs. HARDWOOD,
formerly Miss Ruth f. Judd, Mrs.
Winslow was the last survivor of the A,
who might properly be called the charter
members of the Second Congregational
Church in Bennington. A complete
list of these was printed in our report of
the 5Oth anniversary of this church,
She lived an earnest and consistent
Christian life; was always in attendance
ON the Sabbath service and other days
set apart for church work or worship
when her health would permit,
with prudent and wise sugges-
tons as to the way, and willing hands
to work for the Master, and
when by reason of old age and
its accompanying infrmities, she was
kept away from its ordinances, who shall
say her prayers for its prosperity was not
a greater blessing TO the church of her
love, than would have been her living
presence with it.
She lived to see its membership in
crease from A to 800, and its Sabbath
school from mere handful to 35Ol
scholars. She passed out from the
church militant into the church tri- |
on the 2lst of Dec. 1890, leaving
a rich legacy of precious memories, not
only to her Immediate family, but to all
who knew her as friend and neighbor.
1t may truly be said, "None knew her
but to love her." And although her life |
might seem to us, who can only see
through a veil darkly, an eventful one,
all who knew her well can say as was
said of one of old: she did what she
could"
She was married to John Winslow
June 18th, 1921, who died Aug. Goth,
1876. There were born of this marriage
three sons, James, FredCric and Will
lam. The first died in 1871. The other
TWO survive their mother, both heads of
antilles and reside in this town. They
ire both business men and are such men
Is we should expect as the offspring of
'uch a mother.
Thus has passed away Bennington's
oldest inhabitant, full of years, full of
christian hope and trust, like a shock Of
orn fully ripe, ready for harvest

Several fine deer make Chittenden

selected their winter quarters in a sort

den. A quiet tame deer has during
the summer herded with the cattle
of John Baird, farmer of that town.
During the day the animal would go of
into the woodland to browse, but at
night rarely failed to come home with
the cows. He seems to know the family,
and shows no fear, but when a stran-
ger appears he pricks up his ears and
starts on full gallop for the wooded
mounsain sides.
The laws of Vermont are very strin-
gent for the protection of deer. But one
has ever been known to be killed, and
that was shot in Mendon about a wear
ago and the carcass sold to Rutland
marketmen and offered for sale. The
party claimed ignorance of the law. but
he was arraigned in the municipal court
and fined $50 and costs.
The first animals were purchased by
Gen. W. Y. w. Ripley some ten years
ago and left to roam among the noun
tains, and are evidently yearly increasing.
They are seen frequently. Ere long
Vermont may prove quite an extensive
deer park.

While Uncle Sam does not permit letter

these faithful callers who bring you glad
tidings from absent loved ones, as well
as the bill for your holiday present.

Elliotts Island Ia in the midst OF a
glorious revival of religion. The
church has been quickened, unconvart-
ed men and women seeking and en-
braclng religion. The church was 30
crowded with people and the altar so
crowded with penitents that we had to
take to the woods, where we have a
pleasant place, and room for oui
meetings. We have from 90 to 25 at
the altar nightly, Notwithstanding we
have had "a conversions. Surely the
Lord is blessing the efforts of Rev. b.
Wheatley, the pastor, and the Rev. W.
X. Galloway, the great revvalist.-
We are praying to God to give US the
Island for Christ. At an adjourned meet
ing OF the second quarterly conference
OF this charge, the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously
adopted,

ding from him.

and has taken up the fight against Nc
Kinley in the same Vigorous manner.
1t is opposed to Mckinley being elect
ed Governor of Ohio, because he Is
the father of the Mckinley tariff bill
that gave the people cheap sugar and
American tin. Rut we do not believe
that the Every Even ng's powerful in
fluence bearing against Mckinley in
this country, with the combined intlu-
ence OF the London Times against him

he can get American made tin as cheap
