Late in life the Colonel received the inn
preston from some source that he had got
religion, and made heroic effort to govern
himself accordingly. One Saturday night
a Clergyman came to stop over Sunday
with him, and the Colonel naturally ex-
pected that he would attend Divine SER
vice on the Lords day. The hour came
but the good man had gone for a walk and
had evidently lost track of the time. The
Colonel wal ed with increasing nervous
ness for the minister to return and accom-
pany him to church, and finally, losing pa
thence, started out to find him. He soon
ran across the truant, strolling along a
back street, and overtaking him the Colonel
hastily said: "Parson, where in HI have
you been? Didn't you know it was church
timer" The good man hastily collected his
scattered wits, and the two speedily headed
in the right direction.
At another time the colonel was attend
ing service, and occupying rear seat, was
very much disturbed by the unseemly rack
ct Of some small boys in the vestibule.
Patience ceasing TO be virtue he rushed
out, grabbed the urchins in a bunch in each
hand, brought Them in and sat them down
with d slam and jar that made their teeth
smash together like the crash OF two sau-
GERS and said: "Therei Cuss your little
measley souls! Be quiet, will ye?"

THE DAYS REVIEW.

In those times Orange Fifield "kept

pository but he die not confine his opera
tons 10 that INDUSTRY For years Mr.. FL
field was one of the institutions of the town,
and anecdotes Of his peculiar sayings are
readily recalled by the older residents. One
day in early spring he met an old acquain-

jerky way accosted her. by Cad, Mrs.

had difficulty in locating the boys who were
supposed TO look after the stor9, and he
once complained to me that "every time L
miss one of the boys | have to hunt him
up in some of the places where they are
punching them little id balls around"
Such frivollty annoyed him exceedingly.
One day Hon. Charles Dewey asked him
jokingy for the secret of his success in &C.
cumulating money. The old gentleman
considered for a moment, then cautiously
nodded and beckoned Mr.. Dewey to follow
him. The two passed through two or three
back rooms, an alley and into an unoccu-
pied room-Mr Dewey all the time wonder
ing what was going to happen-and Uncle
Orange bustonholed him and in careful
toneIof voice said: "By Cad, Charles, I'll
tell We! l buy id cheap and sell id

stupendous secret. AT another time Mr..

In its notes of legal events the New York

In its notes OF legal events the New York
Sunday san says:
"The early election in Vermont has call
ed attention to some peculiar features in
the political system Of that State, including
the survival OF the socalled side judges in
the Vermont judiciary. Two of these Off
GERS are elected in each county, to sit with
justice of the Supreme court when hold
ing term of that tribunal within their
bailiwick. Usually they are laymen and as
a matter OF fact take no part in the business
of the court, although legally their powers
are the same az those Of the Supreme Court
justice. 1t is a tradition IN one 81 the coun-
ties, says the Providence journal, chat u
side Judge once declared that the only time
he Was ever consulted by The actual judge
court turned aud asked ann il sitting still
so long did not make his anatomy ache"
There mas been sort Of undeveloped
idea ia the last two or three Legislatures of
this state that 'sGc jAdges" are practically
useless in the administration of Verne mt
Justice They are considered as one round
above the office Of first selec man, aud the
office is usually given To some harmless aud
unubjectionable citizen who has an ambi-
ton 10 thus round off his pablo career, As
III ittor of TACT, they aro not as rule or
namental, and more seldom useful. How
ever, they are very likely fixture in our
scheme of the administration OF justice, and
although they will very likely be ra'ded
again at the comiug session, The raid wall

Representative "Jim" Richardson of
Tennessee, the Democratic leader of
the National House of representatives.,
processes to be certain of the next
House being Democratic, in which
case he will be chosen speaker without
opposition from his party. Mr.. Rich
ardson is moderate and liberal as a
man, although with every clement of
Democratic unsoundness, and would
probably be the most just and least Of
fensive Of anyone whom the Demo
Gratis could place in that position. All
this, however, is assuming that the
Democrats control the next House. AS
a matter of fact, they are not likely to.
In any event they will not until year

"For labor, short day is better than

This gem of CONCEALED truth is found
in President McKinley's letter of ac-
ceptance. No campaign speech ever
delivered has said more or stated a fact
more fully. AS matter of fact, the
Presidents letter of acceptance is far
and away the best material for cam
paign document which has emanated
from any source in years.

In our market report published today
occurs this paragraph regarding the
wool market:
"Most good judges are not looking for
any particular change until after the No.
vember election. Meanwhile they will
hang on to their wool. II Mckinley is re.
elected they hope that the restoration OF
confidence will bring about better in.
quiry and a rise in price. II not, they
think it will be time enough to dump sup
plies and let prices go then"

these circumstance?

Assuming that tn Democrats il the

a fair prospect that they may be grant
ed, the Brattleboro Reformer wants
them to hold out for pledge or assur-
ance of anti-imperiaism from whoever
they vote for for Senator. Nonsense.
The Democratic legislators can discern
plums much nearer their grasp than the
unsubstantial shadow of Imperialism,
and they are more than likely to reach
for something with some body to it,
which they can reduce to possession
and make some use of. Why does the

little over mile from the East St. Johns

800 acres and is one OF the best upland farms
in Vermont. 1t is in the highest possible
state Of cultivation, and this year cut about
300 tons of hay. Very little attention is
given to dairying, and the principal object
is the breeding of draft, road and trotting
horses. The General now has 81 horses of
all sorts and sizes on the estate, and is
likely TO winter hundred The place is

was located opposite what il now the Law
rence building, and which totally disap-
peared ia less than ten minutes. IL was an
evening filled with stirring events for me,
and also for the old Montpelier fire depart
ment. II was thought, with very good rea-
son, that both fires were the work of an in
ceudiary, but all investigation was fruit
less.
One OF the incidents Of the fire which has
kept place in my memory, was the heroic
work OF DIR. George w. Ainsworth, a we'll
known character of that era The doctor
was exceedingly active in assisting me to
move, and as | WAS carrying q sewing
machine down stairs, carefully empted a
large clothes basket full Of packed crockery
on my head to help matters along. He
then went back and secured a broom, a
fire-shovel and two joints of stovepipe and
carried them up on the hill and carefully
deposited them on the Seminary campus.

proved himself TO have every qualification
for the place. A genial, courteous gentle
man, not consuming the peoples time in
verbose petitions to know him is to adj
mire and respect him. He made very many
friends here who would be delighted to see
him retain the chapaincy, and the MEM
bers who contributed to that end would in
time admit that they had done themselves
a favor. But-there are others.
