To my Dear People of the First Pres
byterian Church, Barre, VT
Since your congregational meeting Of
Feb 2lst, at which my resignation was
laid on the table and committee ap-
pointed to confer with me, | have been
much perplexed.
Your kind solicitations to take a
leave of absence and to return to take
up the work among yon have deeply
touched me. / can not tell you how
much appreciate your attitude.
However, as | do not know how long
an aside | may require, and as / do
not wish the church to long abide in any
condition Of uncertainty, | deem it best
to write you today 70 re-enforee my pc
tition of few weeks ago. My hope il
that Won may take the action / have
requested, and that time may prove IL
wise for both people and pastor
1t is a great Joy to me that have
had the privilege Of being your minis
ter for so many years. You have al'
ways been most thoughtful Of my
welfare. Work for you has never tired
me. It is not the facts Of life that
weary us but rather our attitude to-
ward them.
1t was my wish to meet you and say
farewell, but | felt unequal to the
strain. / came away quietly not be
cause / love you little but rather, because
/ love you much. Iplan to 90 back some
time to see you, when shall have re-
cuperated and then we shall rejoice to
gether.
Let me assure you that | leave yot
without one unpleasant recollection.
shall not cease to hear you ON my hear
to God. IF can be of any service e
you in procuring my successor, please

Death of Mr.. Alfred Client.

On last Sunday morning at ten o'clock
Mr.. Alfred Jackson Client died at the
residence Of his son-in-law, Mr.. E. V,

eight years old and for many years had

CHECK WAS NEVER cASHED
Travelled Forward and Back Through
the Mails for Fifteen Years
Unused,

Ex-senator Lake Jones, Of Wayne
county, who Is known all over Ohio as
the hound-pup statesman, from his pas
sionate love of fox-hunting, was talk
ing with a party Of old-time friends in
the lobby Of the Neil house, Columbus,
recently, says an exchange.
II have an aunt" said Jones, who
has most pronounced ideas Of right and
wrong and a rather exaggerated sense
of justice. Nearly 80 years ago she
bought piece Of property from her
brother in st. Louis.
'Tn a dozen years the property had
quadrupled In value. To-day It is worth
ten or fifteen times what she paid for 1t.
AS the value increased her worry in
creased. Finally she mailed him a
check for $4,000, explaining that she
had not paid him what the property was
really worth.
He promptly returned It, saying she
had paid him all he asked for it, and all
1t was worth at the time Of the sale. But
she wouldn't take no for an answer and
sent 1t back to him.
Nov, don't you know" laughed
Jones, that check has been passing
back and forth through the mails be-
tween our families for the past Is
years.
Did 1t ever fall into your hands,
Lake?" asked Maj. Robert Eddy, Jones'
friend Of lifetime, smiling meaningly.
NO" admitted Jones, half sadly,

CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND.
Scattered Families United on This Day
and Tender Memories Are Re-
vived Between Friends.

Throughout Great Britain Christmas
Is the great week Of the year. 1t is the
one week when scattered families are re-
united, when tender memories and old
associations are revived, when friend
greets friend with CHEEKY expansiveness
in striking contrast with the character
istic reserve of the English nature.
Business Is practically suspended in
London for the five days succeeding
Christmas eve, says J. A. Stewart, in
Leslie's Weekly. There is nothing left
of the obsolete orgies which 80 offended
the Puritan element In the times of
Cromwell. It would be an unimaginable
English monarch who would forbid any
observation Of the 18th of December.
The example is set by the royal family
Of the ideal way In which to spend the
happy, marry Christmas-tide which
the English people cherish. It is the
custom Of King Edward VII. and Queen
Alexandra to pass the holiday quietly
at Sandringham, and there to give their
personal supervision to the distribution
Of gifts.

REVENGE or THE NEwsBoY
Gave Crusty Prosecutor a Ducking
Eighteen Months After Be
ing Put Upon.

Ibid it ever strike you that when 1t
comes to waiting for revenge a news
boy, the same apparently impatient lit
tie street gamin, is the most patient
being on earth?" remarked the one
who, relates the New Orleans Times
Democrat, was pulling at the cheroot.
"Well, I'm here to tell you that 1t Is
80, and you'll believe 1t when you
hear this story" he continued. "In
my town there used to be one Of the
crustiest old bachelors that ever lived.
Some people said he was miser, but
whether that was 90 | don't know.
At any rate, he was the stingiost ever.
zone morning he bought paper
from a newsEoy and handed him a
coin. 1t was a ten-cent piece, and the
boy didn't look at it, but pocketed II
and turned away. The old fellow
waited for his nine cents change and
suddenly saw the boy darting across
the street to dispose of another paper.
He called a policeman and had the
little fellow arrested for the theft Of
the nine cents The boy explained
that he hadn't noticed that the old
fellow gave him a dime. But 1t awaited
him nothing. Through the influence
exerted by his accuser the boy was
sent to the house of correction for two
months. he swore vengeance on the
old man, and about IS months later
his opportunity came.
1T was during a heavy Tainstor1.
The streets were veritable rivers and
at one corner barefooted newsboys
had constructed walk over boxes.
Among the boys was our little friend
and among the crowd at the corner
waiting to pass was the crusty old
bachelor. The old fellow started to
cross, the boy saw him and imme-
diately recognized him. STOPPING for
a second he moved one Of the planks.
When the old man stepped on this
plank it slipped from the box and he
was given a splendid ducking. I'm
even wild dat guy grinned the boy.
Now I'm layIn' for de judge dat sent
me up"

PIGEON FLIES WITH TRAIN.
Singular Habit That N Old HON.
ing Bird In Belgium Has
Fallen Into.

Homing pigeons are the craze In
England Just now, and on one recent
Saturday between 100000 and 100000
birds were released in various compe-
titions.
A number of these were raced to
London from Retford and Branston.
The distances are 127 and 113 miles,
respectively, but no birds Of the sew
eral thousand released made the trip
in the traditional mile q minute, al
though every circumstance OF wind
and weather was favorable to record
breaking.
Much better time was made in con-
test from Templecombe to London, In
which one bird made the 108 miles in
"a minutes, an average Of So miles an
hour, and more than 100 exceeded q
speed of 60 miles an hour.
One Of the oldest homers is a bird
which makes its home around the rail-
way station at Liege, in Belgium.
There is a train from Liege to War
emme which starts every morning at
ten o'clock.
AS soon as the train pulls into the
station the bird commences to circle
in the air and as soon as Roadway is
gained follows the train to its destina-
ton, returning Immediately home,
where 1t flies about the station for the
rest of the day.
1t pays no attention to any other OF
the trains and no one is able to offer
an explanation as to why this partic-
ular train should be favored.

Where Mocha Is Raised.

The raising of Mocha coffee is done
by Arabs out in the mountainous coun-
try Of Arabia, where no white man has
ever been, and statisticians and crop
forecasters are unknown. There are
no extensive plantations out there as
we know them in other places, but
each Arab has his own few bushes
around his little house, and raises
enough coffee for his own use and a
little for trading for other commodi-
ties. 1t thus becomes a difficult and
slow process to collect from hundreds
of people enough to load caravan.
The markets of Alden and Hodedia are
several hundred miles from where the
coffee is grown, and the journey to
these markets takes several weeks

CUNNING or THE COYOTE.
Sharp and Wary Creature Accord
ing TO President Roosevelt
In His Writings.

These southern coyotes, or prairie
wolves, are only about one-third the
size of the big gray timber wolves Of
the northern Rockies, writes Theodore
Roosevelt, In Scribner's. They are too
small TO NEEDLE with full-grown horses
ind cattle, but pick UP young calves
and kill sheep as well as any small
domesticated animal that they can get
at. The big wolves fee from the
neighborhood of anything like close
settlements, but coyotes hang around
the neighborhood Of man much more
persistently. They show fox-like
cunning In catching rabbits, prairie
dogs, gophers, and the Ike.
After nightfall they are noisy, and
their melancholy wailing and yelling
are familiar sounds to all who pass
over the plains. The young are brought
forth In holes in cut banks or sim
liar localities. Within my own ex-
perience / have known Of the finding
of but two families. In one there was
but a single family Of FIVE cubs and
one old animal, undoubtedly the moth
er; in the other case there were 10 or
IL cubs and two old females, which
had apparently shared the burrow or
cave, though living in separate peck
cts.
In neither case was any full-grown
coyote found in the neighborhood; as
regards these particular litters, the
father seemingly had nothing to do
with taking care Of or supporting the
family. am not able to say whether
this was accidental or whether 1t is
a rule that only the mother lives With
and takes care Of the litter; l have
heard contrary statements about the
matter from hunters who should
know. Unfortunately l have learned
from long experience that 1t Is only
exceptional hunters who can be trust
ed to give accurate descriptions OF
the habits Of any beast, save such
as are connected with It's chase.
Coyotes are sharp, wary, knowing
creatures, and on most occasions take
care to keep out Of harms way.

The Arabians may beat US on horses

there are others. There is the kero-
