Near the head of Black River VAL
ley in Windsor county, VT, ten long
miles from the nearest railway station
at Ludlow, lies the hamlet of Ply
mouth Union.
The most, interesting inhabitant of
Plymouth Union is Aunt Esther Da-
mon, the last on the roll of Federal
pensioners as widow of soldier Of
the Revolution. This fact alone would
make her an object of national inter-
est, but it is emphasized by the fact
that she is remarkable woman, es-
pecially when allowance is made for
adverse conditions which have made
her life a hard struggle from her
earliest recollection. Only when her
vital spark is Pickering in the socket
have the conditions been reached
which promise a measure of relief
from the tension of bitter poverty.
Possessing all her faculties, with
clear memory and keen perception,

Electric Traction Wins.

Since the worlds fair test in Chi

Velopment of the latter has steadily
progressed until it has reached a stage
where the electric locomotive assumes
superiority. 1t has been so greatly
increased in size, weight. and power
that recent tests prove it to be more
than able to hold its own. Between a
specially selected Pacific type steam
passenger engine and the latest model
of electric locomotive the latter came
out we'll ahead in all of the trial runs.
In addition the weight of the trains
behind the locomotives was fifty-six
tons greater for the electric factor
than for it's competitor, although the
greater weight of the steam locomo,:
tive made the total weight of the
trains approximately equal.
Gas the Cheapest IlIuminant.
Since the introduction OF the in
candescent gas burner a new lease of
life has been given to gas undertake
ings, according TO the chief engineer
of the Manchester (England), gas
works. These: gas works are owned
by the municipality. He says that
gas has now been placed in the front
row; as the cheapest illuminant. The
Manchester engineer shows that cleo
tricity, light for light, is eight times
dearer in Manchester than is gas
light. He demonstrated that to pro-
duce a light of 1,000-candle power it
would cost 3.72 cents if gas were used
and 30.1 cents if electricity were the
illuminant.- :

Recently compiled statistics show
that the loss OF life and also the num-
Der of persons injured through COL
llisions on railroads is greater in COM
parison than from any other cause.
The desire of the officials of the larger
railroad lines to establish records for
high speed, whether for long or short
distances, is primarily the cause of
these accidents and the consequent
loss of life. Safety is sacrificed for
speed, C. as the breaking of a record
means good advertisement for that
particular road. OF course, all rail-
roads have specific rules to cover any
possible chance of accident, but to
break records and arrive at the des-
tination on schedule time it often de-
wolves upon the engineer to overlook
a danger signal purposely and take the
chance of coming out safely. A New
York man has invented an appliance
for railroads which was designed es-
pecially to prevent accidents from
negligence of this kind. II consists
of signal apparatus having a lever,
much smaller, but similar to an Or
binary railroad signal. When this sig

Curiously enough, Aunt Esther Da.~

From the first of April her pension
is to be $24 per month, but she will
not receive the first installment of
this increase until the quarterly pay

to provide the comforts and luxuries

cially in winter, when firewood is

Best Mountain Camping in the Wori'

Best Mountain Camping in the World
to Be Found There.
Stewart Edward White, author of
1.-The Silent Place" and 1.-THE Blazed
Trail" writes in the Country Calen-
dar:
ITO my mind the best mountain
camping is to be found in the Sierra
Nevadas of California. This for sew
eral reasons: In the first place, the
climate is superb and an occasional
midday thunder shower represents the
summer precipitation. You need nev-
err carry a tent. Mosquitoes are
scarce and not very vindictive. The
main trails are good. Feed is abund-
ant. Fishing is fine. Game is easily
procured But, above ALL. the scenery
is various and magnificent.
THE main system is about eighty
miles wide. From the lowest rounded
foothills OF sage-brush to the main
crest of bare granite and glittering
snow, you will find every sort and va
riety, of country. Pine woods whose
like I have never seen even in Michi-
cams best days; forests Of the slant
many miles in extent; box
canyons 1000 feet sheer in depth;
mountain meadows; glacial lakes;
streams full Of trout and a great un-
broken solitude all your own.
The main trails are good, but in
this space of country are districts;
larger than. an easte& state: almost
UNEMPLOYED, and trails rough enough
to brighten a goat. You 1--we your
choice of every country you have ever
visited. could take you to places

ing, the Black Hills, Montana-and all

she deems herself happy and finds
great cause for thankfulness in what
for most people would he barren old
age devoid Of everything calculated to
make old age tolerable.
The life history of Aunt Esther is
not one which lends itself to romance
She was born in Plymouth township
not far from her present home, on the
first day of August, 1914. She was one
of family of eight or nine, born to
heritage of poverty. Her father is
remembered as "stirring" man, who
began life with nothing, married pre-
for his family. In cutting timber to
build them house he was killed by
the fall of tree. His widow was left
without resources and found it i'm
possible to hold her family together.
One by one they were bound OUT to
to service, and were never reunited.
At a tender age Esther was thus put
to work, and remembers this period
chiefly as one Of neglect and ill-treat-
ment.
Time may have modified, but has
not ob]iterated, the memory of the
wrongs of her youth. She grew up a
willful, headstrong, undisciplined girl,
difficult to manage, no doubt, but with
q strong character and right instincts.
There is a tradition that she was
''wild' but in community still domi-
mated by Puritan spirit and peculiar
ly intolerant of everything savoring of
individuality of thought or action, the
term would mean less than it might
elsewhere. 1t is probable she resent
ed the severe and unsympathetic
guidance which may have been offer
ed her, and decided to conquer the
difficulties of life in her own way.
BY one kind of work or another
mostly domestic service, she made
shift to live, and finally drifted to Ty-
