The Late John E. Haskins.

The funeral of John E. Haskins, whose
death from blood poisoning occurred the
9Th inst, was held last Thursday after
noon from his late home on Forest street,
Rev. w. S. Bradshaw of the Baptist
church officiating. Interment was made
in SOuthview cemetery, and the bearers
were four brother Masons of the de-
ceased. J. J. Trerise, L. G. Erskine, A.
\. Culver and Kimball Williams.
Mr.. Haskins was born in Lockhaven,
n. H., Sept. %, 1919. For the last IS
years he had lived in Randolph, pru-
dent, thrifty farmer and useful citizen.
During long period before the installa-
ton of electric lights, he was the lamp
Fighter of the village streets and became a
familiar figure as he made his daily
rounds in the early dusk of winter or the
slowly gathering shades of summer night.
He took an active interest in Masonry
and was a staunch and faithful member
of the lodge.
In 1885, he married Mary, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Rope, and his wife
survives him. He also left two brothers,
Frank and Rufus Haskins of Lock haven,
who were unable to attend the funeral.
Among those present at the service were
Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Jerd of Montpelier.

| The first regular meeting of the Ran
dolph Woman's Literary club for the sea
son of 1907-S was held at the home o.
! Mrs. B. d. Dubois Saturday afternoon
! Oct. II. Twenty-seven members ano
| fourteen guests were present. At the pre-
/ liminary business meeting, the resigna-
! tion of Miss Annie Walsh as treasurer,
was read, and Mrs. Ernest Tracy was
elected to that office. The club this year
will study the British Isles and the topic
for the meeting Saturday was England.
| The program was as follows:-Roll call,
responded to by quotations on the ocean
items of interest, Mrs. E. o. Blanchard
reading from "England's Story Mrs.
c. F. Moulton; 'England's Capital, "
Mrs. E. F. Emerson. The usual social
hour followed, when refreshments were
served.
George E. Mason went up and searched
out the land of Brookfield the other day
and found it a veritable Canaan flowing
with milk and honey and covered with
ripe fruits of the harvest. He cut no big
cluster of grapes to be sure but brought
back pleasant report of potatoes at forty
cents bushel and an abundance of ap-
pies. A report, however, was not the on
ly thing he brought back, for as he
journeyed through the country, fat
pumpkin was quietly picked up in one
field, tempting looking squash in an
other, and so on, until his wagon con-
tanned choice agricultural exhibit. At
[. n. Abbott's farm he found potatoes
that looked as though they must have
grown in mountains instead of hills, and
a specimen of the crop was procured
which weighed two pounds, eleven
ounces, and measured twenty and thir-
teen inches in circumference. Mr.. Ma
son served in the Civil war and evidently
has not forgotten how to forage.
Friday, Oct. 25, is designated by the la
dies of the Sanatorium Aid soiety as day
of thanksgiving and thank-offerings for
the bounties of the harvest, the preserva-
ton of life and health, the comforts of
civilization and the blessing of benevo-
lent institutions. What more appropri-
ate form can gratitude for all these price
less advantages take than gift from the
produce of the fields, from the housewives
stores of fruits, from the dairy or from
the purse, to the Randolph sanatorium,
an institution that means so much of
safety and well-being to every person in
the town and its immediate vicinity? No
burdensome contribution is called for,
but a general substantial expression of
the interest that all should feel in the
work the sanatorium has done and can ill
be spared from doing. Little drops of
water, little grains of sand still make the
mighty ocean and the pleasant land, and
small packages in sufficient number will
make a mountainous pile of gifts and
help to solve the problem of sanatorium
maintenance. Friday, the 25th, then, is
the SanatOrium Thanksgiving day, and
between the hours of 2 to 5 in the after
noon and TO in the evening, are the
special times for receiving thank-offerings,
which, however, will be gratefully re-
celved at any time.

Perhaps no one knows. or ever Will
know, how much in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war q single rife ball accom-
plished toward bringing the conflict
to an early close. 1t was sergeant
Of the Ninth infantry who fired the
shot, at a distance of more than 1900
yards, that nearly severed the left arm
Of General Linares from his body and
gave the supreme command at santi-
ago to General Toral. Sergeant Nc.
Inarney was the most advanced sol
dier Of the American forces, and took
position in tree. Beyond. within the
breastworks, he noticed an onicer
upon a gray horse, apparently making
an inspection Of the entire line,
Though the order had gone out that
day that no firing should be INDUCED
In, McInarney drew a bead upon the
horseman and brought him down
Later It was learned that the ser
geant's target was General Linares

WE are frequently asked by visitors

The law allows stock to run at large

is of county-option character. 1t ap-
plies to the whole state; but the vo-
tiers of county may lift its provisions
from their county at any general cleo
t'on, provided the board Of county
commissioners see tit to provide for q
submission of the question at such
election This they would undoubt-
edlv do were petitions presented to
them signed by any considerable num-
Der Of voters. The county board, how.
ever, Is authorized to order . vote
without having received . petition
therefor. Sometimes we hear somt
one denouncing the iaw-not knowing
that Its provisions provide for count!
option. But when 1t VAS paased Their

SENATOR HAMsBRoU0H has intro
duced : bill that will prove Of great
benefit to many claim-holders 10 the
states Of the New Northwest. Under
it provisions IN entryman may leave
his claim during four months Of WIN
Ter, and such absence will not Be de-
Quoted from the statutory period Of
residence. 1t Is said that the bill will
probably pass. Had such . law been
put on the statute books years ago It
would have done . world IT good and
no harm whatever. OF course ma
jority Of the settlers Who have not
made final proof on their lands would
not avail themselves Of It's provisions
Where there are large families, with
considerable live stock to care for,
they would not care to leave the land,
unless, being distant from q school,
they might hire . man TO live on the
place and care for their stock, while
they resided 10 town and sent their
children to school. But under psesent
laws they could not, legally, leave their
farm. Nor would claim-holder dare
to quit his homestead and hire out
to them. But there Is . large class "a
whom the proposed Law would prove
| Of Unreasonable benefit. It would
| lift . dark cloud that has hung 0vel
many pioneer home, and brought
disbursement aud failure TO large
number Of worthy settlers. This clasl
Is composed mainly Of young people
who have but . small amount Of
money when they 90 upon the land,
and who have little II any Of II left By
the end Of autumn. They are not pre-
pared for the long, cold winter Of
northern latitude. Most OF this elias.
| Of people settle on the land In entire
good faith. They 60 to the new coun
try to become bona-fide residents
They have no property elsewhere
There Is no inducement for them Il
leave after they prove up. They m
ready and willing to hire out In winter
when there is nothing that can b
done on their claim; but they cannot
take : Job because Of the foolish land
oflice restriction requiring continuou
residence. They need the money; but
Instead Of earning their living ant
something besides, they are c0mpellel
to sit witch folded hands al winter
doing nothing. and at considerable 81
