the assistance she rendered to Vermont
patriots during the Revolutionary War,

OF the Green Mountain Boys for the inde-
pendence of Vermont, erected by the Ver-
mont Society of Colonial Danes, May 80,
1905" The monument was placed in posi-
tion on May 80, but 1t was found neces-
sary to defer the formal dedicatory ex-
ercises until yesterday.
Ann Story came to Salisbury from Nor
wich, Conn, with her husband and chill
dren, in 1878. Her husband died soon
after, having built home for his family,
but she remained and titled the land.
During the Revolution her house was an
asylum for patriots who passed that way.
In 1776 the house was burned by band
of Indians, and Mrs. Story built another.
Later she was obliged to dig a secret
refuge in the bank Of Otter Creek. This
was discovered by a Tory spy, who
threatened to kill Mrs. Story unless she
divulged information regarding certain
Wings. She defed him. notified her
friend, and aided In the capture of Tory
camp at Mendon, % miles distant. She
survived the war by many years

Baron Komura, one OF the Japanese
peace envoys who arrived in New York
Tuesday, says the total loss in the war has
been $4,000 men, OF which s7e,eoo were
Russians. The war Is costing Japan
$l,OOO,OOO a day, but tho country is
prosperous and the war taxes do not TALL
heavily upon the people yet. There Is a
feeling that there should be an indemnity
sufficient to reoOupe Japan for her ex-
penditures. Japan does not desire peace
at any price. He expresses great friend
ship of the japanese for Americans and
English He says Japan would not take
the Philippines as gift, not even II the
gift was accompanied by bonus, and
that he cannot imagine anything that
could bring about conflict between
Japan and America.

The newspaper men OF Brattleboro are
entitled to marked credit for the hand
some manner in which they entertained
their brethren OF the quill at the mid
summer meeting of the Vermont Press as
sociation. The only dificulty is that they
have set a pace which the fraternity OF
other towns will experience a difficulty in
keeping UP on similar occasions. As a
result Of the thorough manner in which
the beauties of Brattleboro were pointed
out the visitors could easily understand
why so many artists have made the met

The Worcester Gazette has made a
discovery which rivals that OF Mark Twain
several years ago when he stated that
the English were mentioned in the Bible.
and as proof quoted the words, "The
meek shall inherit the earth" The
Gazette finds in the book of Nahum,
written about $500 years ago. the following
concerning automobiles: THE chariots
shall rage in the streets, they shall
jostle one against another in the broad
ways; they shall seem like torches. they
shall run like the llghtnings."

Their greatest record was won, how
ever when they shipped calves and
yearlings back to the International
show at Chicago and won in class
two years in succession and one load
was bought and fed in Illinois and
came back and won again the next
year. Not long since they bought the
$4,000 prize-winning bull, Nonpareil
Alamo, to mate with a lot Of their best
COWS which looks like they are deter
mined to not only maintain the high
standard of their herd, but to steadi-
ly improve it.
NJ. Eakle, of the Enterprise herd,
has not been so long in the business
as some of the rest and might be term
ed a rising star in the galaxy. The
star at the head of his herd is the
Scotch bull, Saturn, and it cost Mr..
Eakle over a thousand dollars to place
him there. Not content with one good
bull, but wanting two of different
type he last year bought the massive
imported roam, Count Amaranth H.,
and can now make good mating with
each type of COW in the herd. His
latest purchases of females are most

do not give away and throw in chro-

The Glides have been breeding
good, useful Shorthorns for years, but
it is in the past year or SO that they
have been securing the country, both
East and West, for show ring cham
pions, and now they can lead out a
line of that class of stuff that presents
a formidable appearance. When we
mention Hillcrest Hero, Topsman,
Elgitha 25th, English Lady 18th,
Roam Myrtle, Cambridge harrington
4th, Sen Sen, Violet Queen and Gold
en- Rose. the fair goers of both Cana

of the quality of what may be seen
at their place.
Nevada's loss was California's gain
when Rush & Pierce took over the
whole Humboldt herd of Joseph Mar
zen, Lovelocks, Nevada, and trans
ferred the $50 head of Shorthorns to
their ranch near SuIsun, Cal. Many
are the ribbons the herd has won in
battle royal at the California state fair
and old Blythe Victor has done good
service, both in the harem and in the
show ring. He will no doubt continue
in the former for several years, but in
