ITS COMING.

Yes sir-ree, the time is coming when everyone will know that good tea and coffee is the only healthful and whole some drink that should be allowed in- side your home. They say the law this year doesn't allow intoxicating drinks to be sold within 200 feet of church, public buildings, cemeteries, libraries, etc, and they also say that next year the wine dispensers cannot get a H- cense to sell intoxicants within 5000 feet of anywhere in Connecticut. That's the time that good tea and cof- fee (the kind we se1D can and will be highly appreciated by everyone. Say, the lawmakers up in Hartford are s'coo-coos." Remember, we have been talking about sleeve ironing boards for two weeks and we are almost sure they'll be all gone before the end of this week. We will continue to give one with each pound of our warranted good tea, 50 cents per pound, while they last. Our Butter is the same good quality as usual and the price is the same as last week, 25 cents per pound. Those jardiniere stands, twenty nine inch tables, clothes racks or plates which we are giving with one pound of our Baking Powder are certainly bar gain at

to the march of Burgoyne's army In
case he won the battle at Saratoga.
So when Burgoyne was pushing his
van eastward in June the mountain
GERS rallied on the slopes to defend
their homes and chattels. Stark cross
ed the mountain westward with few |
militiamen and fixed his camp at Ben
nington. He had no food supplies, no
ammunition except the private stock
of his men. But the colOnists were In
for fight and didn't leave It all to
prayers and resolutions. ThHr fame
had crossed the border, thanks to
Ethan Allen. Stark had friends, too
even If congress was cold to his claims
One of these admirers, a merchant of
New Hampshire, named John Lang
don, offered his wealth to buy powder
for Stark's men. II have three thou
sand hard dollars" said Langdon,
land plate which can pledge for as
much more, besides seventy hogsheads
of tobago rum, which may go for what
it will bring"
This speech has become a classic
throughout the mountain region to typ
ify the spirit of the rude settlement in
July, 1777, when Burgoyne was Just
across the valley and his marauding
soldiers climbing the foothills toward
Bennington Even western Massachu
sets and Connecticut are proud Of the
glories of Bennington. Stark was "a
character suited to the more rugged
of the Yankee element, like Putnam
and Ethan Allen. Plain spoken pa
triots have handed down the names Of
Stark and Putnam as "Old Stark" and
"Old Put" and whenever one of the
eldest inhabitants tells the story of
Bennington he makes a climax Of the
incident Of the Green Mountain boys
fighting and winning on powder
scratched together for the occasion by
the sacrifices of a private citizen.
Another tradition Ia the mountains
is that a parson who had the blood of
Ticonderoga's hero in his veins-a
cousin, in fact-brought all the able
bodied men of his flock to the battle
field with hunting rifles in hand and,
after waiting for the fun to begin until
the patience of all the camp was near
ly worn out, called on Stark to protest
against the inactivity. Said he, Gen
eral, my people have often been sum-
moued to fight and have never been
given a chance, and now II you don't
give them a fight they'll never turn out
again" 1t happened to be raining at
the time, and Stark responded brusque-
ly, "Well, do you want to fight now, in
the rain?" mo, not just this minute"
said the parson. "Then," said the gen.
eral, "if the Lord once more gives us
sunshine and l don't give you all the
fighting you want I'll never ask you to
come out again."
But Stark was not idly talking while
waiting for powder. He built intrench-
ments around his camp on the Hoosick
above Bennington and sent scouts and
couriers throughout the mountains,
even down into the. Berkshires. All
western New England was aroused,
and, although soldiers were scarce, for
the army recruiting officers had gather

few patriots able to toll over the hills
to Bennington.

there on Aug. 16, 1777, had been sent
into the mountains by Burgoyne to
oeize horses for mounting corps Of his
troops and to bring beef cattle and The
military stores at Bennington into his
camp on the Hudson. So the mountain
4eers had good reason to look upon
bennington as their Saratoga, the de-
4cisjve battle of the Green mountain
revolution, Just as Saratoga decided
( the fate of the American colonies. But
July 4, TIT. would not have been
day for rejoicing in the hills of Yer
mont had the settlers there been In
hearty sympathy with the congress,
which one year before had declared the
American colonies free from the yoke
of England They had no love for con-
gress. Ethan Allen was prisoner in
irons to the British, and the heroism
which won Ticonderoga had been IN
rewarded. All this is involved in the
story of Vermont's little revolution, her
independence, her existence.
Vermont became an independent COL
ony July 8, 1777, and maintained her
"sovereignty" until 1871. For the rea-
son why she did not cut loose on
July one must look to the delays OF
legislative assemblies and the limita-
tons of horsenesh. The settlers of the
wilderness lying between the Connect
icut river and Lake Champlain, Sin
4 convention assembled" formed an in
dependent colony in January, 1777. and
petitioned the Continental congress
for admission into the confederacy OF
q states. New York state claimed the
q territory as far east as the Connect
cut and defeated the petition In con-
gress. The case was decided late In
une, and the swiftest couriers could
Dot reach the Green mountains until
fter July 4. Then the colonial as
9embly promptly initiated the defiance
the parent colonies and adopted
constitution which had been
& prepared for the emergency.
Meanwhile the fighting men of the
4ills, ETHAN Aliens boys" were on
{he warpath. The elders might look
3fter diplomacy, and the sons would
back them up. 1t was in vain that
he spokesman of congress appealed to
