continents" John c. Calhoun entered
congress in 1911, on the eve OF the war
with England. He closed one Of his
earliest speeches. May 9th, 1872, with
this sentence:
Sir. I assert it with confidence, q
war just and necessary in origin. wise
ly and vigorous carried on and honor
ABLY terminated. would establish the
integrity and prosperity of Our coun-
try for centuries
A few months later. December 4th,
1872. he closed another speech as
follows:
We cannot, without hazard, neglect
that which makes MEN love to be
members Of an extensive commu-
nity-the love of greatness-the con-
sciousness of strength. So long as
American is a proud name, we are
safe-but the day we are ashamed Of
it the Union is more than half de-
stroyed."
To say exactly what John c. CAL
rhoun would do, if alive today, would
require another Calhoun. We may
feel confident that he would bring his
great mind to bear on the new and
hard problems that are before us to-
day. He would give his conclusions
clearly and frankly. He would grant
to others the right Of free thought
and free speech which he claimed
for himself. He would still prize the
proud title of American. He would
use all proper means to close the war
in the East, and also to restrain the
sectional feelings in our ''far-Aung"
family Of states. He would know
that neither religious nor political
bodies have anything to gain by fierce
wars with guns or pens or tongues.
Let our president send an extra
postage stamp when it is due. Then
let him take his pen, or telegraph
wire, to send abroad a message OF
peace and good will to other nations.
And may his administration have a
great triumph in bringing more close
" together the North and the South,
slike sister streams which some rude,
interposing rock had split"

THE BARGE CANAL.

Senator Amber of the New York
State Grange Legislative Commit
tee FavOrs Resubmission.
Senator Henry S. Amber, who was
one of the most ardent opponents of
the barge canal scheme in the legisla-
ture last winter, will introduce at the
earliest opportunity at the next session
of the New York state legislature a
bill for the resubmission of the propo-
sition to the voters of the state unless
prior action may be taken by the legis-
lature for the repeal of the act Sena-
tor Amber argues that the expendi-
ture of $1O1, 100000, as now contem-
plated, will not suffice for the pur-
pose, but that it will require at least
$300O00,0OO to complete the canal. II
the canal is constructed he believes It
will be huge burden upon the agri-
cultural interests of the state and upon
real estate in the cities. He further
says that there has been a radical
change in the opinion of many who
supported the measure before, as they
did not then have full information as
to the possibilities of cost of construc-
ton nor that 1t would be inadequate
to the purpose. He believes that the
canal should be made a national wa
terway and its construction paid for
by the national government He has
recently caused to be sent to the mas
ters of the subordinate oranges In the
state communication asking that
they forward petition signed by their
members to the canal board asking
that no more expenditures be incurred
for the barge canal until such time as
the legislature shall convene and con-
slider the proposition anew.

Fifteen minutes later she found her
self out in the back yard again. Don's
eyes met her reproachfully. He was
confined ANONYMOUSLY in a chicken
coop.
Miss Barclay tried her best to think
1t was all right. Then she gave it I'D.
He was such a splendid dog after all,
She took him from the coop and al
lowed him the freedom of the back
yard. Don did not abuse the privilege.
He seemed to understand that he was
on parole. He lay down at her feet and
watched her adoringly She wandered
away to the hammock and tried to for
get the whole Incident in book. Don
followed sat down and peered solemn
ly over the edge of the hammock with
grave eyes which seemed to say,
What are you going to do about it?,
That evening Carleton picked up the
paper and read:
R. C.-Your dog has been pardoned and
released on his own recognizance Please
come and get him. LIB
And when Carleton called Don had
been promoted. He was in the parlor,
lying on the best Persian rug.

vently six months later. He caused
1t all. He's diplomat worthy the
court of st. James"
Yes said Miss Barclay, with a shy
smile, hes almost as great diplomat
as his master. save that he lacks his
masters impudence"
Perhaps" assented Carleton cheer
fully, but much goes with impudence
which might possibly be missed by
mere diplomacy" And he kissed her.

The late Counselor E.. chairman Of
the quarter sessions for Dublin, was so
remarkable for his leniency to female
culprits that a woman was seldom con-
victed when he presided.
On one occasion when this humane
barrister was in the chair a prim look
ing woman was put to the bar of the
commission court, at which presided
the equally humane though perhaps
not so gallant Baron S.
She was indicted for uttering forged
bank notes. According to usual forms
of law, the clerk of the crown asked
the prisoner If she was ready to take
her trial
With becoming disdain she answered
Nor She was told by the clerk she
must give her reasons why.
As If scorning to hold conversation
with the official, she thus addressed
his lordship: my lord, won't be
tried here at all. I'll be tried by my
Lord E."
The simplicity of the woman, coupled
with the well known character of E.,
caused roar Of laughter in the court
which even the bench could not resist.
Baron s., with his usual mildness,
was about to explain the impossibility
Of her being tried by the popular judge
and said, He can't try you," when
the woman stopped him short and,
with an inimitable sneer, exclaimed:
Cant try me? l beg your pardon,
my lord; he tried me twice before"
She was tried, however, and for the
third time acquitted.

Fish That Arc Not Fi.b.

On our way into the interior Of New
fOundland part of our route was over
a lovely lake. We had not proceeded
far when l thought could occasional
ly see the water break with a splash
in close proximity to the canoe turn
ed to the native who was handling the
paddle and inquired whether there
were any fish in the pond
Fish? No. sir-no fish, sir"
Presently saw not six feet from the
bow of the canoe magnificent salmon
rise to the surface and with swish of
his tail disappear to the depths. Again
| turned to my friend with the remark:
Daddy, did l understand you to say
that there were no fish in this lake:"
mo fish. sir-no fish,
Yes, butt beg your pardon-I--a
moment ago saw what took to be
twelve or fifteen pound salmon break

Of the canoe

Indirect Answers.

Yankees are said to answer one ques-
ton by another. Turks meet questions
by another sort of evasion, quite as ir-
ritating. Sir A. Henry Layard says in
his Autobiography" that during a
journey through Asia Minor he met a
shepherd driving his flock
l asked him how many goats he pos
sessed.
His reply was, "As many as passed
by you"
But" said l, Il did not count them.
How many are thereF'
THE same number l took with me
to the mountains
But how many did you take to the
mountains?"
'As many as l had"
1t was useless to inquire any further.
Passing caravan of laden camels,
asked one of the drivers whence he
came
From that side,' was the answer,
pointing with his finger in the direc-
ton
But from what town.
''The town is there" pointing again.
But the name of the town.
ut was toward Smyrna"
And so the colloquy ended.
This habit is derived from the sus-
picion entertained by fasteners Of
strangers, who are generally taken for
government officials on some mission
connected with taxgathering or other
business distasteful to the population

Anti-OIeo Leefslntion.

There will be business for the legis-
lative committee of the national
grange before congress this winter. 1t
is stated that the oleo manufacturers
have organized an association and are
soliciting contributions from oleo deal
ers in the United States to raise funds
to repeal the ten cent tax law this win
ter. There is no doubt that a large
sum of money will be raised for this
purpose. as the tax on each dealer will
be $50. AS the grange has been ardent
ly In favor of the ten cent tax, it was
largely through its influence that the
law was enacted. 1t behooves the sub
ordinate oranges to petition their con-
gressmen at once that the law be not
repealed.

some Medicines, Cures and Omens Of
Former Generations.
A sure cure for the ague, according
to an old time specific, was to rub a
live spider in butter and then eat it.
The late Vincent Stuckey Lane, who
died in England after spending much
of his life in the collection of folk lore,
gives many other instances of the med
icines Of former generations. To rub a
dried mole to powder and to swallow
as much Of it as would lie on a shilling
for nine days In succession was anoth-
er cure for ague. A hare's foot carried
on the person prevented collie, cells ap-
piled to the ears were a specific against
deafness. and epilepsy yielded to a
gentle treatment Of toadstools gathered
just as they were forcing their way
through the ground and swallowed in
claret at midnight. There were many
ways Of curing fits, but the simplest
plan was to go into a church at mid
night and walk three times round the
communion table. A snakes skin worn
round the temples was good for the
headache, but if that failed the sufferer
might try moss grown on a human
skull, then powdered and taken as
snuff.
Whooping cough could never be
caught by a child who had ridden a
bear, but If no bear was handy the
child might be soundly thrashed or
drawn backward through a bramble
bush. The subject of signs1and omens
fills a number of pages of Mr.. Lanes
five volumes. Under the heading Good
and Ill Luck In Marriage he shows
on how trifing a matter the marital
happiness or unhappiness Of our ances-
tors could turn. 1t was unlucky, for
example, to receive present of doves,
to marry on the anniversary of birth,
to tread on the tail of a cat, to put on
ones stockings wrong side out or to
try the wedding ring on before mar
riage.
On the wedding day the happy cou-
pie had to redouble their vigilance, as
horse looking at them through a
gateway, a pig running across their
path on the way to church, a dog run
ming between them or the clock strik-
ing during the ceremony might wreck
their happiness. For the bride to look
in the glass after she was attired in
her wedding finery was sure to bring
i'll luck. On the other hand, it was
lucky to be followed by strange dog
when going counting, to be touched by
the wing of bat or for the bride to
hear cat sneeze on the eve of her
wedding.

The New York state dairymen's an
nual convention will be held in Herki-
mer, N. Y, on Dec. 1916. This is one
of the strongest agricultural organiza-
tons in the Empire State and its aim
is educational in every particular. 1t
is self sustaining, although it receives
no state appropriation. Among the
speakers will be Ex-Governor Hoard
of Wisconsin, DR.. w. H. Jordan of
Geneva experiment station, Professor
Pearson of Cornell and DIR. Hills Of
Vermont, and several others will be in
vited. 1t has been decided to elimi-
nate the exhibition Of dairy appliances
from the convention for the reason
that most of the prominent houses
who deal in dairy supplies are now
making exhibits at ST. Louis at great
expense. and the exposition does not
close until a late date, which will rem
der it quite impossible for them to
make creditable showing at the con-
vention. Changers Of central New
York will attend this meeting in large

JurisdictiOn of National and state

The national grange has Jurisdiction
over all the oranges. issues charters,
makes the laws, except that each state
grange Of course makes its own by
laws, which must conform to the ma
tional grange constitution and laws.
Each state grange has jurisdiction over
its county or district and subordinate
oranges. In some of the New England
states instead of county limits there
are district Jurisdictions. The subor-
dinate oranges are the local divisions.
Usually there is but one subgrange to
a township. but there may be more If
they conform to the grange law that no
two oranges shall be nearer together
than five miles.
