Old Home Week.

cold Home Week" came to a close
in New Hampshire last week Thurs
day, The idea was a novel one but, as
carried out, was a great success. Ii
was original with Gov. Rollins. Wher
suggested by him people at once saw
IFS many attractions and the advapta
pes to the state that might result from
It.
The occasion was observed during
the week in many New Hampshire
cities and towns. There were public
exercises, family reunions and gather
ings of old people. Natives of New
Hampshire, now adopted sons anC
daughters OF other states, were there
from all parts of the country. 1t was
a week of handshaking, of renewing
old acuuaintances; of visiting boyhooC
and girlhOod scenes. These people
many of whom have become very sue
cessful in other places, came back tC
the place that knew them first. They
were glad to get back and show theil
loyalty to their native state.
The occasion was more of success
than Gov. Rollins anticipated and he
says 81 consider it the greatest hap:
piness of my life that the idea of Old
Home Week occurred to me, for 1T has
brought me in touch with just this
class of strong, successful people.
And so also has it brought all OF New
Hampshire into closer contact with It's
famous sons from outside. They now
know of them; know they are New
Hampshire boys, fact they may not
have known before. The praises of
famous New Hampshire men now dead
were also sung in public addresses and
in the papers. All this gives the peo-
pie additional pride in their state and
reminds them of Daniel Webster's re-
mark that "New Hampshire, sir,
grows men,"
Vermont Hcan profit from the exam
pie of it's neighbor. An Old Home
Week, or something similar, can be
made as big a success here as in New
Hampshire. If there is one thing that
makes Vermont famous it is the men
she gives to other statesmen reared
within the influence of the old Green
Mountains who have gone forth into
the world possessing those sterling
qualities of industry, push and homes
ty that sooner or later bring them to
the front. They are scattered all over
this country-men of the Dewey and
Clark stamp. Bring them back if
only for short visit. They long to
see the fields and hills that knew them
as children but lack of time, duties
they think must be attended to, lead
them to postpone the visit from year
to year. An occasion like Old Home
Week would induce many to come
back who might otherwise never see
the old state again. Get them back.
Among those who are wealthy there
would be some so impressed with the
natural beauties of the state as to pur.
chase estates and transform them into
beautiful summer homes. Some might
decide to make permanent homes here.
An Old Home Week would be big
for this state, as it has
been for New Hampshire, and no state
in the union has SO much of scenic
beauty throughout its entire length
and breadth as has Vermont. Think
it over and next summer lets have
grand reunion of Vermonters.

Thinks Him the Man for Gov.
eff1Or.

The latest thing in Vermont politics
is an attempt to boom Senator Ross as
candidate to succeed Gov. E.. G.
Smith. The Rutland News is especi.
ally warm in its endorsement of this
new move. The News regards it as
apparent to even careless observer of
events that Senator Ross Will not be
elected to the seat he now occupies.
AS an act of courtesy, to show the re-
spect and honor in which the people
hold the Senator the News proposes
they make him governor and speaks of
his qualifications for the position. Be
this as it may, there are others who
have an eye on the chair now occupied
by E. G. Smith.

raise just such crops as beans and peas
plants that get stores of nitrogen
from the air, as clover does, leaving the
land, in reality, richer in this valuable
element than before they grew, besides
making 3 valuable addition to the farm
produce. The writer once saw an ex-
ceedingly heavy crop of beans harvest
ed from a wornout, rocky hillside, on
which sorrel would hardly grow, and
that, too, with no great assistance in
the way of fertilizer or cultivation. The
plants got a start on the manure placed
on the hill, scanty as it was, and then
drew on the stores of nitrogen in the
air. Beans appear to do particularly
well on light, stony land. where many
crops would be perfect failure.-N. Y.

How to Take Care of the Bean and

There are number of crops that are
stacked up in the field to dry before
housing in barn or granary. Among
these are beans and peas. The small,
high stacks that are ordinarily made
are IN danger of being blown over by
the wind, and are in greater danger of
absorbing moisture from the earth. A

REUNION OF ROUGH RIDERS.
First Annual Meet of the Famous First
Volunteers.

First Annual Meet of the Famous First
Volunteers.
The survivors, of the Rough Riders
regiment, which figured 80 conspic-
uously in the Cuban campaign, met at
Las Vegas, New Mexico, last Saturday
and opened their first convention.
Governor Roosevelt, of New York,
the last colonel of the regiment, ar.
rived during the afternoon, and his
speech was the feature of the occa-
sion. He said:
"This was a typical American regi-
ment. The majority of its members
came from the southwest, but not all.
We had iu our ranks fasteners, west
erners, northerners, southerners, Cath
olics, Protestants, Jews, Gentlles-
men whose parents were born in Ger.
many or Ireland and on the banks OF
the James, the Hudson and at Ply
mouth Rock nearly three centuries
ago; and all were Americans in heart
and soul, in spirit and purpose-Amer-
leans, and nothing else. We knew no
distinction of creed, birthplace or resi-
dence. All the creed for US was that
a man should do his duty, should show
himself alert, patient aud enduring,
good in camp and on the march, and
valiant in battle.
'In administering this great country
we must know no north, south. east
or west; we must pay no heed TO
mans creed We must be indifferent as
to whether he is rich or poor, provided
only he is indeed good man, good
citizen, a good American. In our pol
itical and social life alike, in order to
permanently succeed, we must base
our conduct on the Decalogue and the
Golden Rule.
"Let us not forget our comrades who
this summer are facing all that we
faced last summer. Let us not forget
the gallant men, the regulars and vol
unteers, who are upholding the honor
of the flag and the interest of the ma
tion in the Philippines. To our shame,
be it said, there are men in this nation
so Indifferent to the country's honor,
so lukewarm in patriotism and cour'
age, that they would let all the work
of these men go for naught-let their
blood be spilled in vain. But the hour
of our battle is sounded, and the puny
folk who deem it otherwise are woful-
ly mistaken in their countrymen.
Where our flag has been raised it shall
not be hauled down."
Governor Roosevelt was elected hor-
orary president for life of the associa'
ton. Colonel Brodie, of Prescott, was
elected president.

neighborhood last week, beginning
Sunday night. A strange dog came
into the vicinity, entered the premises
of a number of residents and bit dogs
stock, chickens and two Negroes.
From Bethesda the dog went down
into the Lowrysville country but as
to whether or not it was killed there,
the reporter has not learned. There
was a wholesale dog killing in the
Bethesda neighborhood on Monday
and Tuesday of last week. Six dogs
were killed on the ]. T. Lowry planta'
tion alone, and the total number killed
on various other plantations is esti'
mated at not less than 25, probably
more.
The Summer School.
The work of the York county sum
mer school continues to progress salts
factorily with apparently no tagging OF
interest. Prof. Colcock, who vas orr
ginally assigned to assist in the con-
duct of the school, finally wrote that
he was unable to come, and Mr.. Hand
has secured the services of Mr.. Nc
Nary, who is his assistant at Chester.
The work of the school is being de-
voted principally to arithmetic, En-
glish and geography. The studies in
geography commenced with York
Vile, followed by York county, and
then extended to the state, United
States and world. Many of the teach,
ers are doing great deal of hard
and intelligent work that will no
doubt be of benefit to their schools.
Inter-County Association.
The baseball boys of York, Chester,
Lancaster, Union, Cherokee, CASTOR
Cleveland, and other counties imme'
diately contiguous would do well to
have an arrangement whereby clubs
should not use men from without their
respective counties. For instance a
contest between the York and Cleve'
land boys is one thing aud a contest
between the money of York and Cleve'
land boys is another. A contest be-
tween the boys themselves is so much
more interesting than contest be-
tween their money. Of course, so long
as present conditions prevail, there is
nothing to prevent the securing OF
baseball material from whatever
source; but by the organization of an
inter-county association, and an agree
ment, such matters may be satisfacto
rily arranged.

"A correspondent of the Journal takes
issue with its statement that the Secretary
of Wars clear and forcible presentation of
the facts in the case should put an end to
agitation against the army canteen." The
Journals statement was based on the sec
retary's presentation of facts, while the
correspondents protest seems to be based
entirely on previously formed theories or
personal convictions. III the statements
made by the Secretary of War were really
correct" he says, that if the beer and
wine attractions were conducive to tenn
perance. discipline and morality then the
presentation of the facts by the secretary
would indeed be clear and forcible. 4" AS
the statements of the secretary are based
on the results of careful investigation, and
what he himself terms overwhelming tes-
timony" We see no reason to doubt his
correctness or to reject them in favor of
unsupported by any facts what
ever. The secretary says i'm his report:
For the purpose of ascertaining ,ae eff
feet of this regulation a circular letter was
sent to each department commander on
the second day of May last. directing the
SUBMISSION OF a series or questions TO the
officers of the army. designed TO elicit the
results or their experience and observation
as to the effect of the sale OF beer, etc, in
post exchanges upon the morality. sobriety
and discipline of the troops. and 1heir opin-
ion as to the effect of an actual prohibition.
Some regiments were of course so situated
at the time that IL was not practicable 10
secure the expressions from them. EXPIRES
sions have been received from fifteen OF the
twenty-five regiments of infantry, seven of
the ten regiments of cavalry, and FIVE of
the seven regiments of artillery. The over
whelming testimony of the army is TO the
effect. mat the present regulation has pro-
NOTED the temperance. discipline. morals
and health of the enlisted men. and that
in the interest of morality and effective
service II should be retained. No change
has accordingly been made in the reg
ulation.

willing To rest its conclusions on the
statements of those who are in position to

and duty 1t Is to know. and who have care
