the Pomtret man who had four un-

in it, thinking the smoke would
drive the crows away. But it didn't.
He went out to look things over
little while afrerward and found
more crows than ever, and all were
huddled around the stove warming
up for a fresh raid on the young
corn. They seemed to look upon
him as a real friend. Mr.. Hedges
was Disguised and immediately sold
the stove for old iron to Mr.. Spaul-

Slavery in Vermont.

Il correspondent of the st. Adams
Messenger inquiries if slavery ever
existed in Vermont and The Mes
senger adduces several arguments
to show that it probably did. If
further proof is needed, it is fur
nished by records on file in the pro-
bate office in this village. In the
inventory Of a Remington estate set
tied in probate court in 1891, one
female slave is Is listed along with
the other property of the deceased.
Slave holding was notvery common
in Vermont, but it was by no means
unknown even in the first decade of

warm welcome, after telling him how
they mourned his death.
Two years later Lieut.. McKennon,
of the Sixteenth Arkansas, came upon
the dead body of Confederate sol
der. He positively identified it as
Bradshaw's, for he knew Bradshaw
well. The lieutenant had but one
blanket, in which he wrapped the
supposed Bradshaw for burial. The
lieutenant reported Bradshaw's death.
There was no mistake this time, the
boys were sure. But six months
later, one morning, just as the regi-
ment was breaking camp, Bradshaw
turned up, very much alive
Lieut.. McKennon could hardly be-

Sam Jones to Reporters.

A prominent Baltimore physician
tells in the Baltimore Sun the follow
ing anecdote about Sam Jones, the
Georgia evangelist:
When several years ago Mr.. Jones
was at Emory Grove camp, the news
paper reports of his sermons caused
him to complain.
At the last service he looked down
at the reporters, who sat at a table
just in front of the pulpit and said:
'And want to tell you fellows that
like you a lot, in spite of your mani
fold faults. You boys don't treat me
right. though. You take my sermons
and pick out a piece here, a piece
there and piece somewhere else;
then you string the pieces together,
and naturally they read funny.
Nov, suppose | reported the Bible
in that way! A man asks me what the
Bible tells him to do. l read in one
place, AND Judas went out and
hanged himself turn over and
read, Go thou. and do likewise And

quickly

er up the hill, but his men soon were
driven back. and Braddock's position
was confined to a cramped line flank
ing the narrow roadway which Cages
men had cut through the forest. Near
this road Braddock was mortally
wounded while striving to check the
panic among his veterans. The re-
treat had been sounded and the mar
row thoroughfare was crowded with
the frightened troops. The spot
where Braddock fell, however, never
can be pointed out with accuracy. as
every vestige of the road han long
since disappeared. Nevertheless there
is a tradition which receives credit
among many residents of the town of
Braddock that a tree is still standing
over the place where the British lead
er met his fate.

Concerning last words" A. H. Nc
Rae of New York has this to say of
Webster: q knew an old lady who
was neighbor and intimate friend
of the Websters in Washington. She
explained to me tn meaning of his
last words-I still live Webster, as
all the world knows, was hard drink
er. Liquor caused his death. In his
last days he was kept alive by brandy,
which he constantly crayed. The day
he died his physician called on him
early in the morning and found him
very low and, as he thought, uncon-
scious. Turning to the nurse, he said:
If he is alive at o'clock give him an
other drink of brandy The family
gathered at the bedside to see him
breathe his last. A clock in the room
struck 8. For a moment he remained
silent; then, as no one offered to help
him, he saiu, rousing up and opening
his OK eyes, L still live. The nurse,
recollecting the doctors instructions,
FASTENED to give him another drink,
which proved to be his last, as he re-
lapsed into a quiet stupor and died
within an hour. The old lady did not
have a very high opinion of Webster
from moral standpoint, knowing that
the immortal words, 1 still live were
uttered for the purpose of getting a
final drink"

A DRAMATIC situation.

An unfortunate mishap recently be-
f-ll a theatrical company touring in
Queensland.
They could only muster one frock
coat, which had to be used by the
doctor and the villain of the piece in
turn.
One night the manager borrowed
pair of handouts from the local police
station. At the right dramatic moment
they were clicked on the villains
wrists amid loud applause.
Imagine the dismay when it was
found that the key of the handouts
had been forgotten, and the one and
only frock coat was securely locked
on the villain.
The doctor, who was in waiting in
his shirt sleeves in the wings, had
no alternative, but to go on as he
was. He was equal to the situation.
however, and at once explained that
he had driven in his haste through
pelting rain and left his frock coat
outside to be dried.

Something white came up last night,
1t was the mist, ] visit, or rain;
1t wheeled about, flashed in and out,
And beckoned 'gainst the window pane;
1t was a bird, no doubt-no doubt,
And will not come again.
And something beat with slow retreat,
And heavy swell the old sea-wall,
And shrill and clear and piercing sweet,
1 thought heard the boatswain's call,
The sails were set. and yet, and yet
1t may have been no boat at all.
But IL tonight a sail should leap
From out the dark and driving rain.
You must not hold me back nor weep,
For 1 must sail a trackless main
To find and have, to hold and keep,
What 1 have sought so long in vain.
I need no chart of sea nor sand,
Nor any blazing beacon star.
My prov against wild waves shall stand
Until 1t cuts the blessed bar,
And 1 run up the shining strand
Where my lost youth and Mary are.
