Hope of the Democracy in 1904.

In the presidential campaigns OF
1896 and 1900 the democratic party
tell short nearly 100000 votes.
TO win in 1904 these votes must be
supplied somehow. Assuredly no
iron.clad partyism will supply them.
They must come, if they come a,
all, partly by the recovery Of those
democrats who broke away, or who
stayed at home, and partly by the
accretion of the heft of the indepen-
dent, floating vote, which tor a quar-
ter of century has decided every
presidential election.
In the United States there are,
roughly estimated, 1 1000, 600 votes,
equally divided between the repub'
Leans and the democrats. That is
to say, there are 10000 who will
vote the republican ticket without
question, and 5000, 90 who will vote
the democratic ticket without ques.

they please, sometimes for one par

Mr.. Tilden got the heft of then
in 1875; Mr.. Cleveland got the het'

To Keep Rooms Cool.

1t is a mistaken notion, says a
practical housekeeper, that room
can be kept cooler by leaving the
windows open than by closing them
during the entire day. All win
dows and doors should be opened the
first thing in the morning to let the
cir and sunlight sweep through the
house. As soon as the morning
work is finished all the windows on
the sunny side of the house should
be closed and the blinds drawn
to exclude the hot air. When the
sun is we'll in the west, open them
and the rooms will be found to be
delightfully."- cool.

MY GRANDPARENTS CABIN.
Read ut the reunion of the descendants OF
Jonathan Pinney, at Pinney Hollow. Aug.
Is, 1901.

Read at the reunion of the descendants o
Jonathan Pinney, at Pinney Hollow, Aug
10, 1901.
More than a hundred years ago,
From all the records we can rally,
Grandfather moved from Guilford
And settled in this valley,
lie built his cabin near tho stream,
At the foot of yonder hill,
And the apple trees he planted there
think are standing still.
His cabin! presume twas small
think twas hui It of logs,
But yet twas large enough to hold
Ten children and two dogs
Lizzy was the Oldest child,
John and Priscilla next,
Jonathan and Elcazor then.
And Solomon made six.
Horatio next, then Gracis,
Amial, and Joel still,
And after living here one year,
Young Delano filled the bill.
His dogs were hounds of some account,
One was Range, the other Mount.
Range was thief he'd steal the cake
From the spider, while it baked.
Mount, the more noble, trusty one,
Would guard the cake till it was done
His furniture, no doubt twas rude,
He lived as he was able
NenisOn and trout, have no doubt,
Were often on his table
Six Of his children, l believe,
Found homes not far from here,
Some built mills, some titled the soil,
Aud some did hunt the deer.
But soon a generation came,
And their numbers were not small,
For the old school house down by tho
brook
Could hardly hold them all.
And now, to cut my story short,
I'll bet an even dollar,
That the toughest school in all the town,
Was found in Pinney "Holler."

Vermont, then, may still prove to
be in condition of healthy growth
in spite of the decline in her home
population as shown in the tables
below.
Comparisons with other states in
the matter of Nermont's increase in
population by birth are difficult to
make. But here are the figures
showing the percentage of children
under IS years in each of several
States. They show that while Ver-
mont is less productive in children
than the younger states of the West,
she does not fall behind those east

If Nermont's children stayed at
home her population would increase
in as large ratio each year as could
reasonably be asked-omitting, OF
course, consideration of increase by
immigration. The foreign born
formed only II per cent. of the pop
ulation in 1890, and that percentage
has never ranged much above tiat
