NEW ENGLAND SONG.

Following is the old New England song
which the members of the g. a. r.
excursion learned and adopted as
Vermont song on their way to San
Francisco:
This is our own our native land,
Though poor and rough she be,
The home of many noble soul
The birthplace of the free.
Well love her rocks and rivers
Till age our warm blood chllls
Then hurrah for old New England
And her cloud capped granite hills.
They tell us of our freezing cline
Our hard and rugged soil
That hardly half repay us for
Our springtime care and toll;
But merrily sings the farmers boy,
AS the homestead farm he tills,
Then hurrah for old New England
And her cloud capped granite hills.
Shall not the land, though poor she be,
That gave Webster birth
With pride step forth to take her place
With the mightiest of the earth?
And for his sake whose lofty fame
Our farthest boundaries fill
Well shout for old New England
And her cloud capped granite hills.
Chorus.
They tell of the western cline
They say tbs passing fair,
That sunny are its laughing skies
And soft its balmy air;
Well linger round our childho cd Is
home
Till death our warm blood chills,
Till we die in old New England
And sleep beneath her hills.

CRANDALL DENIES SHOOTING
Says He Can Prove M abb, but
Evidence Against Him il
Strong.
(From a staf Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Jan. 1s.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-An effort was made today to secure
from Stephen Crandall, in jail at Adel, his
statement Of his connection with the shoot
ing Of Harry Pattee at Perry. Crandall
denied any connection with the affair and
claimed he could prove an alibi. He said
his wife and father and other members Of
the family would testify that he was at
home all that night.
Parties visited the CrandaD home, two
miles from Perry. The wife, who is i'll,
said she could not say whether Crandall
was home all night. The father said Crsn-
dali had come home at z o'clock and had
gone to bed In a room by himself. but he
could not say whether he was there all
night.
Two women living in Perry state that
they saw and recognized Crandall in Perry
at II o'clock that night and he was with
another man they did not know, but whose
description Ats that of Mcfarland, the other
man wanted. Crandall and Mcfarland had
been Jointly convicted of larceny and Me-
Farland cannot be found.
Pattee is still alive and has a fair
chance OF recovery, but leading residents
Of Perry say that II he dies there will be
great danger of lynching Crandall, as belief
there is strong he was one of the thieves.

MEASURES BRAIN FATIGUE
German Professor Invents New In
to Show Human
WEAKNESS.

BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-Among the curious
exhibits that the Prussian ministry of pub
lie instruction will include in its educa-
tional display at the st. Louis exposition
is al apparatus for measuring mental
fatigue which is widely employed. 1t is
called an aesthesiometer and measures the
constituencies of the skin which corre-
spends directly to brain fatigue, the sem
sitiveness diminishing as the mind wearies.
. DR.. Schrader, professor at the Kaiser
Wilhelm gymnasium at Hanover. has per-
fected an instrument hat measures the
time elapsing in the sensorium after men
tai exertion. The principle upon which 1t
is based is that mental work produces a
fatigue OF the nerve centers. The measure
ments of fatigue during classroom work
generally shows that history makes but a
slight call on the mental power. Geometry
and Latin are far more exhausting. During
the study of Latin the nerve power is re.
duced one-quarter and memory appears to
suffer greatly.
