The Evolution of Motor Boating.

1t would be difficult to tell who first
thought of putting a gasolene motor into
a boat; probably the idea occurred almost
simultaneously to a number OF persons In
various localities but it is safe to say that
these pioneers could have had no idea OF
the progress which the new power was
destined to make in few short years. 1t
is in fact only five or six years since the
motor boat became a practical proposition,
but in that time it has pursued steady
course of conquest, until now not only IS
its victory over the sail boat practically
complete, but steam also has been van.
uuished in all but the larger powers, and
even in these the gasolene motor looms up
as a dangerous competitor in the near III
ture. Already the rapid fire ,musketry OF
its open exhaust fills our harbors and re
sounds along our streams. From Alaska
to Florida, and from Maine to California,
wherever navigable waters exist and civil
ization has reached, the swift moving
modern craft may be seen performing its
functions of business or pleasure. In the
commerce of our canals and upon inland
waters generally it is now, predominant,
and even in our coastwise' service 1t Is
making its way. The transoceanic traffic
alone remains the undisputed domain OF
steam, and the successful crossing OF the
Atlantic by the Gregory, a gasolene-pro-
PEELED torpedo boat of American construc-
ton a few years ago, points the way to
the time when in this field also will be IN
volved the modern power.-W. ). Dudley,

DEMOCRATS MAKE PROTEST.
William ]. Bryan May Speak in Bel
lows Falls After All.

Because of the strenuous kicking of
democrats at this end of the state, that
Hon. William J. Bryan, the noted poll
tician and twice candidate for presl,
dency of the United States, will spend
all Of his time in the northern part OF
the state next April, it is very possible
that arrangements will be made in some
way for him to speak at Bellows Fails
as previously announced in the columns
of this paper, says the Bellows Fails
Times Hon. John Donnelly of Yer
genncs was here Saturday and he ex-
pressed these sentiments in regard to
the tour through the state.
The trip was arranged by Alexander
Troup Of New Haven, president OF the
New England Democratic Progressive
association. Mr. Bryan is to speak IN
Vermont two days next April. Without
consulting Mr.. DOnnelly, who IS the
vice president of the league, for Yer
mont, A. II. Gleason of st. Johnsbury,
a member of the executive board OF
the league, arranged with President
Tr0up to have the Nebraskan speak
four times during the two days, at Bur
lington and at Barre in the afternoon
and evening of April 10, and at White
River Junction and at st. Johnsbury IN
the afternoon and evening of April TO-
In this way, the entire four speeches.
are confined to the northern part OF
the state. Mr.. Donnelly was in favor
of having one speech in the southern
part Of the state at Bellows Falls and
was very indignant when he found
that this end was so completely out OF
it. As soon as this route was an
nouuced, there was general KICK
from the democrats Of this section.
Letters and petitions have been sent
to President Troup asking that 1t be
arranged in some way for Mr.. Bryan
to speak in the southern part of the
state.
The action thus taken by the demo
Gratis leads Mr. Donnelly to state that
IN all probability Mr.. Bryan will give
one Of his addresses at Bellows Falls
while on his tour The four engage
ments arranged will not be changed,
but a fifth engagement will be added at
one end, presumably on the l1th OF
April at Bellows Falls. Those IN
charge Of Mr.. Bryan trip are now
working to change the schedule IN
some way so that Bellows Falls may
be included and all those in this sec
ton, Who had been anticipating the
noted democrats visit here and were
disappointed when the route was an
44ounced, need not give up all hope yet,
For il in any way it can be so arranged
mr. Bryan will surely speak in Bellows
Fails next April.

The Thaw Tragedy.

What is the lesson to our young men and
misses
Taught by story so shocking as this is?
All over this broad land of ours
Young men and women yearn
To quit the simple country life
And to the city turn,
Where they may share
The fortunes there
That wait for them to earn.
The narrow ways of country folk
They constantly condemn,
And not rural avenue
Is wide enough for them.
The broader scope
Is where they hope
To win their diadem
They come by thousands to the goal
OF their unwise desires;
They revel in the city's glare
And blister in its fires;
They struggle on
Till all is gone
And hope at last expires.
Not all
May fall;
The stronger few may stand,
But at what cost!
Their gain at last is nothing to
The good that they have lost.
Now listen. young men and young women,
And make this a star in your crown:
TT is BETTER TO RUST IN The
COUNTRY r, ,ro,,,>-,
THAN IT is TO ROT IN THE TOWN!
That is the lesson to our young men and
misses
Tauobt nv a story so shocking as this is.
