YOU SHOULD VISIT THEM.

OF the resort sections of the country,
few of them are more widely known
than the White Mountains region of
Northern New England. The main
features that have brought this section
to the foreground are its magnificent
scenery, it's exhilarating atmosphere,
and it's social qualities. Of the first
mentioned, some of the more widely
known features, outside the Presi-
Dental Range and Mount Washing
ton, are in the Crawford, Franconia
and Dixville Notches. Each con-
tributes far differing attractions, any
single one of which is we'll worth see
ing, though taken together they pre-
sent a series of Natures workings
unlike those to be found anywhere
nations like Table Rock in Dixville,
and the Flume; then there is White
Horse Ledge and Elephants Head
and Crystal Cascade and "The Basin'
and Echo and Profile Lakes and Lake
of the Clouds. These are but few of
the interesting sights to see.
AS you know, the Boston & Maine
Railroad traverses this great Noun

before long came to this neighbor-
now lives. He remained however for
a time at East Craftsbury working at
the wheelwright trade with Liberty
McIntire. In 1884 his father, mother,
brother and three sisters followed
him to this country. The father liv-
ed to be "a and the mother "a years
of age. He has one sister still living
with her daughter in Glover. Mr.. Bar
clay married Ann Patterson. There
are now of his family, including his
children and grandchildren, ten per-
sons living.
John Patterson, Mr.. Barclays
father in law, came from Scotland in
1920, his wife in 1921. Two of their
twelve children were born in Scot
land, ten lived to grow up. Four are
still living, viz, Mrs. Royal White,
Mrs. Alexander Simpson and John
and Robert Patterson. There are
about hundred twenty relatives now
living, but there is only one grand
son to keep up the family name of
Patterson. John Patterson built the
oat- meal mill at East Craftsbury
where he was working when he was
killed Jan. 1, 1888.
Gabriel Patterson, brother of John,
lived to be "a years of age and his
wife lived to be nearly 80. They

eleven grandchildren, husbands and
wives; twenty five great grandchil
dren, wives and husbands; twenty
great great grandchildren, wives and
and eight great great great
grandchildren. At one time there
was a picture taken of this father
and mother and five generations,
four pairs of parents living. There
could now be two pictures taken of
this family of four generations, three
pairs Of parents living in each.
Mr.. Thomas Teller, whose mother
was q sister of the Pattersons, came
from Palsy, Scotland in the early
forties. He and his family made
their home in Glover. One son died
after coming home from the war, but
nine children survived them. These
nine with husbands and wives make
a family of eighteen, twenty three
grandchildren, twelve great grand
children. There are three generations
in three of these families.
Mr.. William Anderson who came
over in company with Mr.. Barclay is
represented by such sons and their
families as those of James and John
Anderson OF Crattsbury, Mrs. Tyler
RoWen of Albany, and the children
Of Thomas Anderson in Glover and
and by William Anderson
and family CT Nebraska, and the
family Of George Anderson residing
in the same state.
Only three who came over in that
company from Scotland seventy years
ago are now living, viz, Mr.. Barclay
and George Simpson Of Connecticut
who are both present today and Mrs.
Janet Mitchell of East Craftsbury.
Time will not permit me to tell of the
coming and the genealogies of all the

he. Brought up amid the luxuries of
New York City, college bred, w tn lit
erature for profession, he still had
that idea In him that there was nothing
brave man ever did that brave man
should not try. = His enemies ad-
NIT that the machine has never run
him for a minute in New York. All
his public utterances and his private
and official acts have been in the in
terest of reform. He believes in order
and law, and In absolute justice. He
never goes around the corner to work
out his idea. He does not believe that
there is anything to do with the saw
ages that are killing our soldiers ex-
cept to kill them in return until they
quit. He is impatient at mistakes He
has an utter scorn and loathing of
demagogy. He is equipped to shine in
the most polite society, and then, IL
necessary, in minute and half to
throw off his dress suit, put on his cow
boy overalls and topboots and go out
side and fight the toughs on their own
grounds and in their own fashion. He
is the most representative American

ROOSEVELT DOES THINGS.

Mr.. Roosevelt practices his own doc
trine of the strenuous life. Though
only AZ years of age he has served sew
eral terms in the New York legislature
has been a ranchman in the west, has
given some years to the police COM
mission and civil service of New York
city, has been assistant secretary of
the navy, leader of the Rough Rid
,ers in Cuba and governor of his native
state.
From these varied and exacting du-
ties he has snatched time for as much
literary work as would ordinarily fall
to the credit of a professional author.
Fourteen solid volumes from his pen
have been published, and he is now en-
gagged on Life of Cromwell" which
is appearing as serial in the Century
magazine. He has also written books
in collaboration with Henry Cabot
Lodge and others. His great work thus
far is "The Winning of the West"

THE ECCENTRICITY OF RooSE-
WELT

From the Chicago Tribune: Charles
A. Towne OF Duluth, Mimi, who has
been posing for several months as a
martyr to the sacred canse of free sill
yer. has just answered" the speech oil
Governor Roosevelt, delivered before
the national convention of the League
of Republican Clubs at st. Paul.
The climax and keynote of Mr..
Towne's speech is the charge that
Theodore Roosevelt is eccentric. That
their Vice Presidential candidate is
even q "predestined and incorrigible
eccentric" when viewed from the
standpoint of the average politician, Is
a statement to which Republicans will
take no exception.
In the first place, Governor Roose
welt is eccentric, from the politicians
standpoint, in the absolute fearlessness
In which he expresses his views OF
public questions He is eccentric In
the logged persistency with which he
sticks to the right in disputed ques
tions, overruling in SO doing tbs
threats and entreaties of self-seekine
politicians. He is eccentric in making
principle his guide in practical politics
He is eccentric in allowing his patriot
ic feelings to carry him further thar
mere speech making 1t was an ex
tremely eccentric thing, as politician
looks at it, for a public man to risk
his precious life in leading charge
up San Juan HILL 1t may as well be
admitted that the public career o.
Governor Roosevelt is perfect tangle
of eccentricities which Dick" Croke
and other great Democratic statesmen
will never be able to understand. The
may as well give it up.
1t is believed, however, that the
great majority of the American people
are quicker to understand and appre
ciate the particular form OF eccentric
ty for which Governor Roosevelt is
distinguished. They know that If there
was more eccentricity of the same kind
on the part of public men there wouiG
be less corruption in public Office and 9
constant improvement in the public
service. They know that the eccen
tricity which leads a man to place the
welfare of the country higher than his
own personal interests is a rare en-
ough thing in contemporary politics &c
deserve recognition and encourage
ment.
