Greenleaf N, son Of Rev. Salmon
Winchester, was born in West More
land, N. H., in 1872 About 1917
Rev. Salmon Winchester was sent by
the New England M. E. Conference as
a preacher to the Vershire circuit,
which then embraced all of Orange
County, being one of the earliest and
best known preachers of his time, and
died in 1921. After his fathers death,
Gree1leaf was put out to service with
Capt. Isaac Heath, a prominent and
wealthy farmer of Corinth, and here he
received the usual instruction IN the
common schools, fair treatment, and
plenty ofhard work, which matured and
developed naturally robust constitu
ton. At twenty-one he went to Ran
dolph and worked two years, and re-
turning to Corinth invested his little
capital in farm which he carried on
three wears. Then he sold his farm
and went to Boston where he was va
riously employed, and intended to
make his permanent home.
The completion of the first railroad
between Boston and Lowell and his
trips thereon are we'll remembered
events, for Sarah Pratt, a Corinth girl
then working at Lowell factory, be-
came Mrs. Winchester in 1871.
The salt sea air was unfavorable to
his health and in 1881 Mr. Winchester
returned to Corinth, purchased farm
and began to enjoy life and make
money. He was a great admlrer OF
Morgan horses and good judge of
horse flesh, and for several years he
made annual trips to birmingham and
Worcester selling Vermont horses In
1868 he sold his farm, came 10 Cook
vile purchased a small farm, and two
years later erected his present fine and
slightly residence. He kept a good
team and was large purchaser and
retail dealer in flour, feed and Brad
ley's fertilizer, one year selling fifty
tons. and was an extensive purchaser
of potatoes.
Mr.. Winchester has at various times
held almost every office in the gift Of
his townsmen. After he was 10 years
old he held the office of first select man
seven consecutive years, and is now
town agent. In 1864 he represent
ed Corinth in the legi Stature. He cast
his first presidential V ote for Andrew
Jackson, and has always been demo
Crat.
He has assisted in the settlement Of
many estates and has been factor If
the public life of the town, to which he
is Loyalty attached. He confidently be-
lieves that the lowest point in real es
tate has been reached, and the advent
of the creamery will secure more
prosperous future for Corinth. Mr.
Winchester is still erect and stalwart al
So and an interesting conversational
list. He married Mrs. Jane B. Young
as his second wife, in 1881. Her sor

Mr.. Winchester in the management o

Largest Regimentai Loss.

The largest regimental loss ON either
ride during the late civil war was sus-
tanned by the Twenty sixth North Caro-
lina-Pettigrew's brigade, Heth's divi-
sion. They had full quota of 500 men
ON July 1, 1858, but In the single battle
of Gettysburg lost 6SS men, So killed
and 50a wounded. not including the
missing" Of which there were 100.
According to Colonel W. F. Fox, in one
company, SO strong, every man was hit,
and the orderly who made out the list
did so while suffering from a wound in
each leg. Surely those were times which
not only tried mems souls, " but made
heroes of those who survived and mar

Napoleon's Genius In War.

The conquered Milanese were by a
magical touch provided with a provi-
sional government, ready, after the
tardy assent of the directory, to be
changed into the Transpadane republic,
under French protection. Every detail of
administration, every official and his
functions, came under Bonaparte's d1-
rection. He knew the land and its re-
sources, the people and their capacities,
the mutual relations of the surrounding
states and the idiosyncrasies of their
rulers. Such laborious analysis as his
dispatches display, such grasp both OF
outline and detail, such absence of con-
fusion and clearness of vision, such lack
of hesitance and definition of plan,
seem to prove that either hero or
demon is again on earth.
All the capacity this man had hitherto
shown, great at it was, sinks into inslg-
nificance when compared with the
Olympian powers he now displays and
will continue to display for years to
come. His sinews are iron, his nerves
are steel, his eyes need no sleep and his
brain no rest What captured Hun
garian veteran said of him at Lodi is as
true of his political activity as of his
military restlessness: HE knows moth
ing of the regular rules of war. He is
sometimes ON our front, sometimes ON
the flank, sometimes in the rear. There
is no supporting suoh gross violation
of rules" His sense and his reason
were indeed untrammeled by human
Limitations. They worked ON front, rear
and flank, often simultaneously and al

A LOSS OF S8O,OOO,000

Labor-saving inventions or discoveries
have often been violently opposed on the
ground that they take workingmen's bread
out of their mouths. Although experience
has shown the fallacy of that theory the
feeling, or fear, was natural.
But it is not so much the lack of work as
the inability to work that causes poverty
and suffering. In England and Wales every
workingman averages ten days of sickness
every year, with total loss of wages for all
of about ss0,0OOOOO per year. In this country
the loss is much greater. In all countries
the prevailing disease Is indigestion and
dyspepsia and its consequences-such as
rheumatism, and other ailments resulting
from impure blood a result of dyspepsia.
No thorough, rapid and trustworthy cure
for this universal and obstinate malady ex-
listed until the Mt Lebanon IN. " Com
munity of Shakers placed upon the market
their now famous remedy called the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. 1t is prepared from roots
and herbs cultivated solely by them. Moth
ing more certain, safe and palatable can be
imagined. 1t 'expeIs the impurities from
the body by means of the bowels, kidneys
a I'D skin, and imparts vigor and tone to the
stomach-upon whose proper action all our
strength, activity and endurance depends.
For many years the Shakers have given
earnest attention to this subject and their
final success is thankfully admitted by the
multitudes who have been cured by the
Cordial after all other means have failed.
Their high reputation for skill as~herbal-
lists, for honesty and religious sincerity
guarantees whatever they recommend.
No invention can ever take your work
from you if you are able to work. Health
and strength are the vital considerations.
