County c. E. Conventions.

The officers Of the Vermont
Christian Endeavor Union and the
officers Of the various county unions
are planning for series of county
conventions to be held in nearly
every county in the state. The first
convention will be held at Barton
Landing, May 10, and the campaign
will close at Middlebury June Z.
Rev. Charles D. Crane, the ener-
getic and popular field secretary of
the Maine union, has been engaged
for these conventions, and it is be-
lieved that his wide experience in
Christian Endeavor affairs, his good
sense and tact, will enable him to
give valuable service to the En-
deavorers of Vermont.
Windsor county conventions has
heen arranged as follows:
May "a, Golden Rule Union,
morning and afternoon, Bethel;

and evening, West Hartford; May

The Value of Absence.

When Thomas Valentine Cooper
was chairman of the Republican
state committee in Pennsylvania he
had considerable difficulty in man
aging a certain candidate for con-
gress, who was a miserable talker,
but thought that he was gifted with
the eloquence Of Demosthenes.
There was one township in the
county that seemed doubtful, and
the candidate was anxious to go
there and air his oratory.
''Mr. Chairman" he said to Coop
er, II should like to go down to that
township on Saturday night and
make a speech. You know, the vote
will be close there. What do you
sayp"
"No," replied Cooper, with great
emphasis on the little word. eve
want to carry that township. Stay
a~Ay from there"
He stayed away and was elected.

Uncle Sam and the BIuebirds.

Uncle Sam trims the Spaniards
and routs lot of bowling rioters
with ridiculous ease, but weakly lays
down his gun to home-making blue
birds, who seem to be particularly
set on defying the United States
government. In last weeks Age
was an item concerning the forcible
occupation by a bluebird of mail
box on the South Woodstock road,
reported by Stage Driver N. E.
Wood, and the final surrender Of the
owners of the box, who put up
another one for their mail mat
ter. Here is a similar story from
Pennsylvania:
"John Lewars, rural mail car
rier of Hamburg, this county, had an
odd experience with bluebirds near
Lenhartsville. For weeks these
birds have been trying to build a
nest in the mail box in front of j. +.
Rentschler's home. Whenever Mr..
Lewars would come along the route
he would chase the members Of the
feathered tribe from the spot where
they sought to establish their home.
For several days lately the postman
had no mail for Mr.. Rentschler, and
the birds went to work undisturbed.
Today Lewars discovered that they
had succeeded in completing their
nest in the mail box, and upon open
ing the box found a brood of four
young ones. In order not to disturb
the birds the old mail box was placed
on top of fence post and a new re-
ceptacle for letters and packages
were placed in position"
Nature lovers are pleased at the
triumph of these Vermont and Penn
sylvania bluebirds and the cheerful
complacence of the government and
obliging mail box owners in leaving
undisturbed nesting places which
are not sanctioned by any nature
book.

natural mistake of Deputy Sheriff
Levi B. Moore, says the Ludlow
Tribune. He went to the chair shop,
served papers on the accused Her
bert L. Richardson and awaited him
uptown, where his appearance was
guaranteed by surety. Finding
Richardson on the steps of the Ham
mond block, he said:
"Well, come on, we're all ready
for you now"
Richardson came on, was seated
in the chair and questioned by JUS
tice Hathorn.

"Well, you hain't arrested me

accordingly.

are located near the tail feathers and
are not Of any use to the chicken,
which looks and acts as healthy and

A hen owned by George Booth of
Barre holds the record Tor big
matches this season, coming off the
nest recently with hatch of IA
chicks from II eggs, the Times says.
The hen was set with I3 eggs, but
at the end of the first week broke
one, leaving only II eggs in the
nest, and two weeks later the hen
Matched out ID chickens. 1t was
suggested to Mr.. Booth that eggs
may have been laid in the nest, but
even in that case he does not under
stand how eggs laid in the nest after
the first week would hatch at the
same time, and there were certainly
only IL eggs in the nest at the end
OF the first weeks setting. From
three hens set this spring on I3 eggs

Two or three Vermont concerns
have shipped adulterated maple
sugar to Massachusetts, according to
the watchful board of health of that
state. The label Vermont" has
stood for purity these many years
and to learn that it has been used on
fraudulent goods even in few in
stances is somewhat exasperating.
There would seem to be no excuse
whatever for putting anything but
pure sap from the large and gener-
GUS maple into sugar made in YER
mont, and the authorities should be
cheered on in any efforts towards
running down such frauds.
