Recommendations

The state should have one small Calling
or Hotchkss gun, and there should be
target practice with it at every encamp-
ment, that troops and citizens may see its
effect. Pistol practice should also be con-
Quoted for officers. One small mortar
should also be part of the states arma-
ment and its effect shown the troops by
firing.
Capt. Tutherley thinks that good way
to improve the Craftsmanship in the mill
tary service would be to make it part of
the instruction at University of Vermont,
Norwich University and Vermont Acad-
envy, where the cadets are i'm charge of reg
ular army officers, and that the horses
used at these institutions be ready for a
riding school at the regular encampment of
| state troops. In conclusion he says: "The
National Guard of Vermont, though small
in numbers, may be reckOned as efficient
and available at any time for field service.
1t is made up of an intelligent body of Off
GERS and men, loyal to the state and nation,
and to each other and the military affairs
of the state are conducted with method and
without friction"

Kipling and Conan Doyle.

From an article on THE Creator OF Sherlock
Holmes" in the Critic Oct g.
We welcome such view of A. Conan
Doyle, with respect to his first visit among
us. as was given in the recent number of
''The Young Man. In the course of a
character sketch of DR.. Doyle, the writer
says: From Mr.. Kipling's view of the
Americans he wholly dissents, and thinks
it wrong both in temper and method. But
| love them, says Mr.. Kiplng, and it is be-
cause | love them that | point out their
defects Love should be patient of faults,
is Conan Doyle's reply. "A nation is not
born in a day. 1t has to learn many things,
and to unlearn more. Give it time and it
will grow: but it will not help its true
growth to be perpetually irritating nation
with caustic satire In such a conten-
ton Conan Doyle is undoubtedly right.
America has no warmer friend and no
fairer Judge than he"
The same writer says that Sherlock
Holmes is the one creature of fiction who
has attained worldwide notoriety since
Dickens gave us his Pecksnitf and Chad,
/ band. "No character OF Rudyard Kipling'
or Stevenson's has attained more than q

been shaped by three cx.rebel brica-
diers, all Of whom were idenlists, re-.
ferring to Senators Jones, Mills and

In the course Of the interview Sena.
tor Brice said that tho Wilson bill,
when it came before the senate finance
committee, was placed in charge of
,hree senators-all ex-Confedcrate brig
adiers; all living south Of Mason and

river; all cotton planters. and all ideal

bringing it before the caucus, and in
that respect great deal had been
gained by the caucus. Among the sen.
