Vermont Headquarters.

A movement which should be of
great interest to all Vermonters was
set on foot on Monday at Young's
hotel, when a special committee OF
80 members of the Vermont associa-
ton met and considered the advisa-
bility of establishing in Boston a
sort of headquarters for Vermonters.
1t is proposed to make these head
quarters of benefit to young native
Vermonters who are leaving their
native state and come to Boston per-
manently.
The idea, which originated with
Col. Josiah H. Benton, Jr., was
unanimously endorsed after full dis
cussion. Col Benton thinks such
an exchange will cost about SIS, 900 a
year. He proposes to have suitable
rooms III the heart of the city and
have all the Vermont newspapers on
file in the rooms and a paid secreta-
ry in charge of the association S
affairs. He thinks that many pub
lilo spirited citizens of Vermont
would cooperate in maintaining
such headquarters and it is likely
that an opportunity will be given to
render such assistance as they may
see fit. 1t is to be a pla &c for visit
ing Vermonters who are in the city
for only short time to meet free of
charge.
The matter is now in the, hands
of the following b-committee of
five from the committee of thirty:
Chairman, Arthur L. Robinson;
Col. Charles x. Darling, N. L. Shell
don, Elmer e. Silver and Lewis r.
Spear. The full committee consists
of the following: Judge Edgar ].
Sherman, Col. Josiah H. Benton,
Jr., Col Albert Clarke. N. L. Shell
don, James M. Gleason, George w.
Bishop, Joseph F. Scott, Arthur L.
Robinson, George o. Proctor, Col.
Charles K. Darling, Everett c. Ben
ton, Isaiah r. Clark, Oscar f. AL
len, George P. Anderson, George w.
Brown, Charles r. Corwin, William
Craig, Eugene N. Foss, James N.
Frye, Thomas H. Hanley. Frank A.
Hodgson, Henry o. Houghton, Wade
Keyes, Capt. Walter NJ. Lindsay,
James T. Phelps, Charles D. Sias,
Elmer e. Silver, Marcel N. Smith,
Lewis r. Speare and George H.
Walker. If the plan is adopted, as
seems probable, the headquarters
will be established within a short
time.

Word has been received from the
Hudson Bay district that two or
three years ago an Indian woman
living just south of the James Bay,
had killed a strange bird with
piece of metal tied to his leg. The
correspondent thinks it may have
been one of Andree's pigeons.
Thus will every new piece of evil
dence found in the North be con-
strued into a message from the
missing Andree.

Winston Churchill, the author,
while spending the holidays in St.
Louis, where lays the scene of the
Crisis, was the guest of honor with
President Faunce of Brown univer-.
sity, at the annual dinner of the
New England society at the Mercan-
tile Club December 22nd. Three
hundred of the most repr sentative
men of st. Louis were present, and
the oratory was most brilliant. Mr..
Churchill responded to the toast
New England of Today He
paid his tribute to the section as one
of the two great breeding places of
men of brains, conscience and ac-
ton in this country. The other
place in the mountain region border
ing the states of Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee. Continu-
ing he said: 81 have often been
asked why l went to live in New
Hampshire. 1t is perhaps as perth
nent as the question DR.. johnson
used to ask about Scotland. To the
last man that asked me that question
l replied: Have you ever consid
cred the worthy men who have come
out of New Hamsphire - General
Stark and Daniel Webster and Sal
mon Chase and Horace Greeley?'
and he said, Yes, but l don't see
what that has to do with your COM
ing here | said, 4 came here TO
take Horace Greeley's place. Is it
really a most extraordinary thing
that a man should be born in New
England and in the first half of the
century move and take up his resi-
ednce anywhere from 1000 to 5000
miles away, in the course of his
lifetime help to redeem an empire
from wilderness, and then to go
back and spend the remainder of his
years in the rural disticts whence he
came? This might be called the
backward wave of emigration. In
100 years it has swept from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and now it is
coming back again to seek an equi =
librium.'

Salt pork is good if a man

most.

SCOTS Emulsion is the most

Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some

King Edward kitchen boasts of
much choice and historical plate.
There is one particular dish of sur
passing beauty, which is supposed
to have been used by Alexander
the Great before the battle of
Hydaspes, and for nearly six centu-
ries it has reposed at Windsor. An
other much valued piece of plate is
the silver gilt fagon, three feet in
height, which was recovered from
an Armada wreck three centuries
ago. There is also table of solid
silver. the surface of which measures
nine square feet, and is engraved
with the four emblems of Great
Britain. Perhaps the most cher
ished plate in the Kings pantry is
the golden eagle, which was taken
from the Tippo Sahib's throne. 1t
is of solid gold throughout, the
feather tips being pointed with
priceless diamonds and rubies, while
the beak is carved from a fawless
emerald.
