FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORs OF JOHN M.
 FORD SIGN A PAPER WHICH vINDI-
 GATES HIS HONESTY.
 It is said that only one in 10 suc- ceed in business and it is not always an evidence of dishonesty when one falls in his achievement of success in the mad rush for business. Thirty years ago and more John M. Ford of Mar bledale was successful farmer. By hard work he managed to pay for his farm and accumulated quite a reserve fund. He took an interest in politics and in those days was factor to be recognized. He represented his town in the Legislature and held other of fees of trust. When the Aspetuck
 Valley Creamery Association was or and patrons. For time all went to MT Ford's satisfaction. Then he be- came dissatisfied with the manage ment, and unwisely, as it proved, started creamery of. his own. He did an immense business, but for some reason or other went backward and was obliged to borrow money to pay his patrons. The crash finally came and when the farm and stock was sold MT Ford found he had lost his entire fortune. The loss naturally weighed heavily on MT Ford's mind and at his request friend drew up paper in which the facts in MT Ford'S career were stated, and expressing confidence in his honesty of purpose, of sympathy for him in his loss and wishing for him peace and happiness in his declin- ing years. This paper was signed by nearly ali his old neighbors in Marble dale and by such men as Ex-Senator Q: P. Lyman, Rev Henry Upson, Judge H. O. Averill. MT Ford now has home with his adopted daughter, Mrs Eric Nelson, who is to be commended Tor her considerate treatment of MT Ford in his declining years.

The report sent out from West
Superior to the effect that Sergeant
John Berry. of this city, was
drowned in mid ocean, while on his
way from San Francisco to Manila,
proves to be erroneous. A letter
dated Dec. 4th, has. just been re
ceived from Sergeant Berry by W.

speaks of having enjoyed a pleasant
ocean voyage, and says he is now
doing active duty with his regiment.

So John Baxter is new boarding
with the new sheriff, in the county
I jail at Ashland. This is not at all
surprising to those who know Bax-
ter, as he seems disinclineG to work,
and depends principally on his
liability to play base ball. which
might be wen enough, were it not
for the fact that he. occasionally
falls down in pinch, and then when
as a result of his coarse work. the
game is lost, people are inclined to
rather doubt whether he played his
best, or whether he did not pur-
posely throw the grme. Ia year
or two Baxter has fallen from being
an ideal among base bail players to
a man held in suspicion, and with
the confidence of but few. It is
said that the evidence in the present
case is very strong, and that the
young man will be very fortunate if
he escapes a trip. Officers of Ashland
county accuse him of making over
lures to them to secure the absence
of the complaining witness, and to
get the latter put out of the way by
the time the trial comes up.
II all the people who, are quietly
accused were guilty of writing
Bryan's little billets IN the News,
were really guilty, the editor of The
lines might have occasion to feel
sore at few OF our people. But the |
strange feature of the whole thing
is that the first person has yet to
appear who is wiling to give credit
for the authorship to Bryan himself.
Any suggestion Of that kind is met
with the rejoinder that Bryan uses

rgMPERlNe HE BODY 10 COLD.

One of the duties of the changing sea-
son, from heat to cold, is to SO adapt the
body to colder temperature that it will
rot suffer on the one hand from too
much clothing at first and too little as
the severe weather increases So impor-
tant is this subject that 1t is worthy a
profound study by every one. It is rem
dered more important because most peo-
Pile keep their houses too warm. SO that
the change to the cold air outside is vio-
lent. 1t will be observed that Nature
terapers and adapts the animals to the
change of atmosphere by thickening the
coat of hair or hide, and as a result they
do not suffer as much as human beings
It would seem to be prudent and health
ful therefore, to put on medium weight
clothing at first and use heavy weight
goods sparingly early in the winter. In
this way, and by exposure every day in
the open air, the body is hardened for
the season and rendered more vigorous
cen possibly secure. So long as the air
is dry and bracing little fear of taking
cold need be excited. BY using heavy
clothing sparingly at first an evenness Of
temperature outside is preserved, for.
when reactionary warm period comes,
there is not the temptation to throw
aside the overcoat or wrap, and thus to
contract a severe cold that may last all
winter or so reduce vitality as to expose
the body to prevailing disease.
1t is fact that every one can easily
demonstrate that it is possible to
tougher the body to meet the blasts of
winter in the way indicated, and to do
sc without suffering, and nothing more

ARMY CAMP GROUNDS.

Secretary of War Root has appointed
the eight highest ranking army officers
at present In the United States as q
board to carry out the provision of the
army reorganization act relating to the
selection of permanent camp grounds
for such grand evolutions as are similar
ly held by the European armies. 1t is
practically settled that one of these im-
rlense drill fields will be located on the
reservation at Fort Riley, Kas., and that
a suitable place in New York state will

Four in all were proposed, but it is
thought that two will be sufficient for
the present. The board, which Is to meet
In Washington two weeks from today,
consists of Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
Maj. Gems. John r. Brooke, Elwell S.
Otis, S. NJ. B. Young and Arthur Mac
Arthur, and Brig. Gems. John c. Bates.
George NJ. Randall and William A.

The law which will govern them is sec
ton 80 of the act approved Feb, 2, 1901.
as follows: 81
THAT the secretary of war be, and he
is hereby. authorized and directed TO
cause preliminary examinations and
surveys to be made for the purpose of
selecting four sites with a view to the
establishment of permanent camp
grounds for the instructions of troops of
the regular army and national guard.
with estimates of the cost of the sites
and their equipment with all modern APP
pliances, and for this purpose is author
lied to detail such officers of the army
as may be necessary to carry on the
preliminary work; and the sum of $4,000
is hereby appropriated for the necessary
expense of such work, to be disbursed
under the direction of the secretary of
wra; provided that the secretary of war
shall report to congress the result of
such examination and surveys, and no
contract for said sites shall be made nor
any obligation incurred until congress
shall approve such selections and APP
propriate the money therefor"
The board is also to study the military
necessities of the country with a view
to abandoning many army posts and en-
larging others. along the line of policy
now regarded as well established. This
is to withdraw garrisons from frontier
forts required in the Indian campaigns

ranges were sparsely settled, and to con-

in the development of powders possess

vessels now under construction, more
than half of which will probably be

The department urges the building of

ment; three gunboats. each of about 200

and four tug boats.
It will now be generally admitted that
our navy should be kept in The best pos
sible condition and that the recommen-
dations of the secretary should be care
fully weighed to see if they are demand
ed upon such grounds.
