How Bill Noble Got There.

1t was a mystery to a great many
people in the convention how the
missing delegate, "BilP' Noble of
Berkshire, got here to cast his vote
for Grout. "Bill' explains it him
self in very lucid and eloquent
manner. We will premise by the
statement that "Bill's" enemies say
he missed the tram on which the
other delegates came by spending a
little too much time in greasing his
boots for the occasion. However
that may be, Bill succeeded in catch
ing the train the next day and arrived
in St. Adams Wednesday forenoon
on the Richford "hycr." Before he
got his carefully creased boots safe
on the St. Albans platform an excit-
ed person rushed at him and sad !:
sis your name Noble?" "Ics,
said Bill, tremblingly. The excited
person shouted, "Well, they want
you," seized him roughly by the col
lar, jerked HIM across the track,
forced him into an engine cab and
pulled the throttle. The engine
went whizZz-z-z-, and before Bill,
who was thoroughly scared, recov-
cred himself he was half way to Bur-
lington. When he was able to look
about him he was gong so fast that
he 'scouldn't tell piece of corn
from piece of potatoes or pasture. y
When Bill got here he was whisked
to the armory in a barouche and did
his duty. "B'gosh," said Bill. 81

Facts for Drivers.

MIR. Rarey, the prince of horse
men, said :-"Almost every wrong
act of Il horse is caused by fear, ex-
citement or acknowledgement. One
harsh word will increase the pulse
of a nervous horse ten beats per
minute"
But few drivers talk enough to
their horses. The voice of a kind
driver has more effect than the whip,
which fact is one of the secrets of
successful trainers. a loud, harsh
or angry voice excites, coni'uses and
alarms. Harsh treatment, even
without blows, keeps a horse in mis-
cry. A groom's angry voice will
send culver through a whole row
of horses.

Sam Coplln, Il German peddler hail
ing from Burlington, came to the
hotel about 10 o'clock and secured a

room in the morning, and, failing to
arouse him after repeated efforts, he
broke in the door. The room was
filled with gas which issued from
the wide-opened gas jet near the
bed. Mr.. Regain pulled Coplin off
the bed and into the hall. He called
for assistance and the German was
taken onto the hotel veranda. Ply
sicians were called and after work

HIM out of his stupor.
