Stick to the Old Farm.

The Messenger recently published an
article on the impressions of a promin-
cnt Ohio agriculturist of Vermont
farms and the opportunities of Vermont
farmers, in which he is reported to
have said 10 two young Vermontcrs 81
would as soon take my chances on one
of these valley farms as anywhere else
in the country, if the farm is managed
wisely"
Over and over again the restless
young Vcrmonter is told that his chances
are better in the long run if he stays at
home, over and over again men of ex-
periencc and sagacity who know where
of they speak have cautioned him to
keep in New England, to keep close to
the old soil on which he was reared and
a part of which he is. Over and over
again he is assured that there is as
much chance for the Vermont farmer as
there is for the farmer of any other
state, that Nature in her own peculiar
way has dealt as generously with YER
mont as she has with any other state.
But the same old restless longing to
farm without farming, to get rich with
working, eats away into the content
ment of the young Vermonter. visions
of some agricultural Klondike in some
vague, uncertain part, of a soil more I'M
certain "West" hover over his pillow at
night and tempt him from his toll by
day. and by and by another disappoint-
ed life adds its pathetic little paragraph
to the sad chapter Of human expert
ence.
When the young Vermont farmer
comes to realize that the art of husband
ny is one Of the noblest callings that
man can follow, that it requires as
much study and skill and industry and
ambition as any other calling, that it
has its scientific side capable of just as
much development and resource as
most other branches of science, and Of
fering just as liberal inducement to the
young student and experimenter, when
he comes to realize all these things and
to comfort himself with the reflection
that the farmer is the most independent
man on earth then we shall hear less
of abandoned farms in Vermont.
Stick to the old farm. young men.
There can be agricultural Deweys as
well as sailor Deweys; we have one
we need both.

MANY DROWNED IN LUZON,
Swollen Streams Claim More Victims
Than Rebels Bullets Do.

San Francisco, Oct. 11.-Adviccs from
Manila under date of Sept. 4, say:
The army in LuZon has lost more men
during the past fortnight by drowning
than by bullets. All the little streams
which in dry weather were mere creeks
have become swift, wide rivers, with
unexpected and treacherous currents and
eddies. Ten colored soldiers of the
Twentyfourth infantry were drowned at
the Mariquina river on Aug. % in a
drift, exactly duplicating the loss of five
soldiers in the Pasig river three months
ago. Soldiers are conveyed across streams
on bamboo RATS whose motive power
is a rope stretched between the banks.
In both cases the ropes broke, the RATS
were overturned and part of the soldiers,
weighted down with guns. haversacks
and heavy ammunition belts, were I'M
able to reach the shore. Private J. Il.
Poole of the Twentyeighth lost his life
in attempting to rescue his comrades.
The last of the bodies of the ten soldiers
were recovered in the river this week,
and all have been buried with military
honors.
-Four men of the Third infantry, sta
toned at Quingua, We're drowned in the
Bagbag river before daylight on the
morning of the 18th, when the regiment
was starting against the forces of Pillar,
which were threatening the railroad near

hero of this accident. He was drowned
In a brave effort to save others. Lieu

Washington, Oct. 1.-The naval &C.
count of the attack on Novaleta, which
differs materially from the account given

NhRROWS GIVE UP DEAD.
Another Portion of VOmnn's Body
Found Near New York.


Found Near New York.
New York, oct. 11.-Still another por-
ton Of the dismembcred body Of the wo-
man, the mystery of whose death is trou-
bling the whole police force of the city,
has been found 1t is the fourth section,
the breast, with the head and arms sew
cred.
The bundle containing this portion Of
the woman's remains tloated into the
quarantine dock, and when Captain Hall,
secretary to DIR. Doty, health officer Of
the port, went to the pier he saw it bob
bling against the piles. With the as
Sistancc Of some of the boatmen the bun
die was fishcd out.
1t was opened and taken to DR.. Doty
who made Il hasty examination of it.
There could be no doubt it was part Of
the womans body. 1t was cut below the
breast just where the other portion now
in the morgue had been severed.
The bundle was wrapped in brown ma
Mia paper, very neatly tied. The frag-
nent of the body was in the best condi-
ton. and from the appearance of the pa
per and the flesh it had not been long In
the water.
The head and arms were missing.
They had been cut away clearly with
knife and saw.
Dr. Doty found knife cut in the right
breast. 1t was not very deep and could
not have caused death. He declared the
woman had been stabbed.
Examination Of the body, he declared,
showed that the person who had been
killed was young and refined. She was
certainly not a laboring woman.
Dr. Doty sent word of the find to po-
lice headquarters and was told that de.
tectives would be sent to the quarantine
station in hurry. Word was sent to
the West Thirtieth street station. Men
We're sent to Staten Island Immediately
to take charge of the find.
A bartender employed by Kronin Bros,
at the northeast corner of Fifteenth
street and Eighth avenue, tells the police
that two young women were in his place
on Saturday night, and one of them,
whom he knows by the name Of Edna"
told her companion that she had heard
cries of Murder" coming from flat
in West Fifteenth street near Eighth av-
enue the night before.
