to the pond to see the queer worms
imbedded in the mud. To my as

pond was red with them. That
pond was the cause of my chickens
dying. The pond will be drained

For Good Roads.

A circular issued in support Of
the Brownl0w bill. which proposes
an appropriation of So, 900, 900 an
nually by the United StNtesto ad
inbuilding good roads, says;
"The national government gives
the rivers and harbOrs some $780,
600, 900 a year.
ut gives the cities great public
buildings, offices, etc.
ut gives manufacturers protection
bv the tariff.
ut gives the veterans and their
families $4,000 a year in pen
SiOns as it should.
ut has loaned its credit to pri-
vate individuals to build railways,
and has given them grants of
land.
at has, however, done but little
for the farmer and for agriculture
1.-THE farmer is the backbone of
the country; it is he who feeds the
entire population, and he is no
longer satisfied with poor roads.
"At last it seems aslif the national
government was going to do some
thing for the farmer A bill has
been introduced in Congress called
the BrOwnlow Bill which appropri-
ates $24, 100000 as a national aid
for the building of roads. The
farmer wants this bill to pass, and
he is determined that the national
government shall do something fol
him, well as for the rest of the

George A. Martin, Editor New Eneland
Farmer

man of wonderful intellectual at
tainments who was an authority on ag-
ricultural and live stock subjects passed
away in the death OF George \. Martin
10, editor of the New England Farmer
which took place Friday night at the
American House after an illness of two
weeks. He was first attacked with grip
but the cause of death was asthma The
body was taken on Monday to Silver
Creek, near Fredonia, n. Y, where Mr.
Martins sister lives. He is also
survived by brother. whose home
is in Michigan. Mr.. Martin had buried
wife and two children.
Mr.. Martin was born in Livingston
county, New York, and in his boyhood
had only the advantages of common
school education He began work as an
| apprentice in a printing Office at an early
age, and when young man went to Bos-
ton. where he reported the live stock
markets for the daily papers. In his
early twenties he was editor of the Rut-
land Herald. He went from Rutland to
Buffalo. where he was connected with the
daily newspapers for ten years, being
at one time commercial editor of the
Express and later city editor OF the
Courier One of his associates on the
Express was Mark Twain.
He founded and published the Live
Stock Journal, the first paper devoted ex-
SiuSlNely 10 i've SlOCh interests In this
country. II was afterwards consolidated
with the National Live Stock Journal of
Chicago. Mr. Martin was connected for
a long time with the American Agricul-
turist in New York in an editorial capac-
ity, and for a short time was critical
editor OF the Century Magazine, manu-
scripts and other matter being submitted
to him for inspection.
Secretary of Agriculture Rusk ap-
pointed him editor of the publications of
the bureau of animal industry, and he
was employed in this work in Washington
several years. He came to Brattleboro
last year, and had since devoted his
time largely to the New England Farmer
While in Washington he compiled the first
live stock records for the department of
agriculture, and these tables are now
used as an authority by live stock men
and agriculturists throughout the country
He also arranged some of the first cattle
record books for use. He had written
several books on agricultural and live
stock subjects and they We're extensively
circulated in this country and some of
them had been reproduced abroad.
In spite of his active work for many
years, Mr.. Martin found time to study
closely on a great variety of subjects,
and he had become an accomplished lin
guist speaking French, German, Italian
and other languages. Probably no man
has ever lived in Brattleboro who was so
well informed on wide range of sub
Jects as Mr.. Martin. He had lived quiet
ly during his residence here, and only the
few people who knew him intimately had
an appreciation of his remarkable ac-
complishments.

A GIRL OF MAINE.

Elisabeth made a vivid picture as she
| IAN down the path between two straight
rows of young orchard trees to. the
spring in the south meadow, swinging
| large wooden pail in either hand. The
/ noon sun made her brown hair bronze
and brought out the deep flush of excite
ment in her face. She was singing
| broken bits of the only gay song her
Puritan ears had ever heard Yet IL is
safe to say that Eisabeths heart was
the only light one in the village of New
ichawannock, this 18th of September in
the year OF our Lord sixteen hundred
and seventy five There had been ru-
mors OF an uprising among the Canibas
and Sokosis tribes and even of attacks
upon places so near as Falmouth and
Saco
In fact, that very morning Captain
Wincoln, with the fighting men of New
ichawannock, had started forth to carry
aid down the Presumpscot. Captain
Wincoln was the Miles Standish of Maine
trusty, brave, vainglorious, and wont to
require faith in his valor. and to exact
confidence in his opinions. So it is small
wonder that his parting words satisfied
Elisabeth that there was no great danger;
for the girl had never known anything of
which she was afraid.
An forsooth," he cried. what is II
but a forest fire and the words OF a ly-
supper an a drink form Purchas' Well?
And Elisabeth, who had been sorry to
see her father and, truth to tell much
more sorry to see her second cousin Ha-
drach Wakeley, go hunting Indians, felt
nightly relieved.
They will likely enough come to no
harm" she reasoned, IAN If Hadrach
pleases the captain, perhaps he'll come
back lieutenant in place of poor Jacob
whom the log crushed last winter"
So the gay little maid set her pals
where the clear water from the spring
could filter into them and smiled hap
PLY at the familiar landscape To the
south of the big meadow lay the corn
fields, The stalks, swaying heavily be-
meath loads of filled out ears, parted
enough to show hundreds of fat, yellow
pumpkins. Below the cornfeds sloped
hill, and encircling the hill were the
houses of Newichawannock. John To-
ser, Elisabeths father, had built his
house upon the very summit of the hill
and had fortified it strongly, that ii
might serve as a fort if the French or
Indians ever came down upon them from
Canada Yet, up to this time, these set
tiers in the south western part of Maine
had felt little fear of the Indians, either
of the near or of the more barbarous
northern tribes.
Elisabeth was aroused from her dream
ings by the sound of water dripping over
the sides of her pals upon the stones of
the shallow basin. She stopped to lift
the pals. AS she Strengthened up, her at
tention was drawn toward the cattle in
the adjoining pasture. They We're crowd
ing together, and staring at the fence
which separated the meadow and the pas
'ture from the cornfield "Old Whteface
Is telling them how good green corn is"
she thought. Then she noticed more
carefully the attitudes of the COWS. They

BASE BALL MEETING.
Question Of Organizing a Local League
Observation-Disclosures Team Is Be-
ina Formed.


Observation-Disclosures Team Is Be-
ing Formed.
A meeting of those interested i'm the
question what shall Brattleboro have
for base ball the coming season. was
held in the Y. NJ. G. a. parlors Tuesday
evening, and was attended by the larg-
est number that has been present at
meeting of that kind in recent years in
Brattleboro. There was a lot of health
fdl discussion of base ball matters. but
so far as the main object Of the meeting
was concerned little progress was made
George l.. Dunl am was elected chair
man of the meeting and Walter \. Gil
bert secretary. The chairman called on
Principal H. X. Whitaker to state the
particular object of the meeting, after
which the meeting was opened for gem
Cral discussion.
The first information brought out was
the fact that some of the best known
players in the local league last season,
including March, Tucker Waite, Louis
Ellis and others, were associating them
selves together as an Independent team
for the purpose of playing out-of-town
teams on their own responsibility, indie
pendent of the BrattebOro Athletic ASSOC
citation. At first this was considered as
damaging to the prospects of forming "A
local league. but the fact afterwards was
brought out that the Cheshire county
come to Brattleboro to play an independ-
ent team. had formed league, and it was
pointed out that the number of open dates
with teams who might come to Brattle-
boro probably would be small. II was
learned also from the lessees of the is
land that their lease would expire in June,
so that at present no arrangement could
be made for the use of the island beyond
that time, and that from now until then
no organization or team would be given
exclusive control of the base ball field.
1t was intimated that If a local league
was formed the high school, Y. NJ. c. A..
Company J. Modern WoOdmen and pos
sibly the Catholic Union might make an
effort to organize teams From that
point discussion turned on the question
of whether the athletic association ought
to furnish players with incidental arti
cles of equipment aside from suits and
as to whether the association ought to
insure the players against accident or
disability 1t was shown that the present
constitution and bylaws of the associ
alton made no provision for that, and
that IL was contrary to the usual custom
in amateur athletic associations to re-
munerate players for doctors bills. loss
of time, etc 1t was decided finally to let
the executive committee of the athletic
| association determine what could be done
relative to organizing the local league and
ask the various organizations who can
furnish a team to report to the executive
committee.

Liquor Licenses Granted.

The only man who said word while
the hearing before the board of license
commissioners was in progress Saturday
night was F. w. Putnam, chairman of
the board About Is people were in the
room, while half "A dozen or more stood
outside the door, but none Of them asked
questions or made objections. At s
O'Clock Chairman Putnam arose and read
the list OF applications and then took
each application singly and asked if any
one had any objections to make. Re
ceiving no response Mr. Putnam an
nounced that in half an hour the board
would return to the selectmen's room
and give their decision. Then he ad-
journed the meeting. The applicants
and the kind Of licenses applied for were
as follows: f. II. Holden. fifth class. or
druggist license; G.. T.. Greene, fifth class
or druggist license: G. +. GRAHAM sec
ond class. or bottle license c. +. Thorn
as. second class, or bottle license: i. L.
Shea, first class. to sell by the glass. and
second class. All the applications were
for renewals, with the exception of that
of Mr.. Shea, who asked for a second class
license in addition to his hrst-clas IL
ccnse. The commissioners returned as
announced and stated that they had
suspended decision on Mr.. Shea's appli-
cation for a second class license and had
granted all the other applications. The
reason for suspendinG decision with re-
spect to Mr.. Shea's application for a Ii
cense of the second class was that the
commissioners can grant but seven Ii
Ccnses in addition to the fifth class
licenses that four applications are yet
to bo decided upon, and that to grant Mr.
Shea's application would forcstall action
on one Of those four. The old licenses
held by Mr.. Holden Mr.. Greene. Mr.. Graf
fam and Mr.. Thomas expired Sunday
night, but as the new licenses were grant
ed Saturday night they We're able to
make legal sales Monday morning The
hearing on the applications Of George H.
Danyew and c. G Turner for first and
second class licenses each to sell at the
American House and Brattleboro House
respectively will be held on Saturday
night of next week.
