DR. William II. Drummond. SO, who
died Saturday Of paralysis in Cobalt, On
tario, was the author of the stories THE
Habitant" and Johnnie Courteau", and
that volume of pathetic and naive verse
The Voyageur", which are treasures in
Canadian literature. But one other
writer has known how to represent the
French English dialect perfectly, the late
Rowland Robinson of Ferrisburg, Yer
mont, who wrote "Danvis Folks" but Mr.
Robinson gave the compromise with
Yankee talk as heard in Vermont, where
as DR.. Drummond knew and reproduced
the jargon Of the woodsmen, the rivermen
and the common "habitant" of Canada.
DIR. Drummond was born in Ireland of
Scottish ancestry, but came with his
parents to Canada In early childhood. He
was educated in Montreal, in the English
high school, McGill university and
Bishops university, i'm which last men
toned institution he was professor of
medical Jurisprudence. He had been
practcing medicine in Montreal since
1884. He was in demand as a lecturer
and reader in the United States and the
Dominion. OF late years he was manager
and chief owner of the Cobalt mine near
which he died He was in his youth an
athlete, distinguished in hammer throw
Ing and shot putting, and especially
walking, holding a championship.

boro Board of Trade since its organization
in May last year was held in the banquet
room of the Grange building Tuesday

favorable weather there was an attend
ance of upward of 40 members and active
and spirited interest was shown in all the
proceedings.

of a room in the town building for the
headquarters of the board. This room is
furnished with desks and chairs, tele-
phone and stationery. and is open to the
free use of all members. Mr.. Robbins
mentioned especially the formation of the
merchants association for the regulation
and protection of the credit system, the
work done by the new industries COM
mittee and the need of desirable tene-
ments for laboring men and mechanics
who wish to find work in town. 1t is not
the province of the board of trade, he
said to build houses or factories, but to
show the needs of the town and to help
in every way possible to have these needs
met An era of growth and greater
prosperity opens before the town with
the promise of the construction of the
Connecticut river dam and the question is,
Are we ready to meet this opportunity

says yes; then let us be up and doing
Our organization stands for progress and
a buster and better Bratteboro. This can
only come through the united efforts and
cooperation of all. 1t is boosters that

up to all to take hold and boost when the
opportunity presents itself"

WEIGHING or PLANETS.

They Are Estimated as "Masses" by
the Astronomers.
II a ham weighing thirty pounds
were taken up to the moon and weigh.
ed there, the 'pull'-the attractive
force of the moon upon the ham
would amount to five pounds. There
would be another weight of the ham
for the planet Mars, and yet anothe:
on the sun. A ham weighing thirty
pounds at New York ought to weigh
some 500 pounds on the SUMS surface
Hence the astronomer does not speal
of the weight of planet, because that
would depend upon the place where It
was weighed. But he speaks of the
mass of the planet, which means how
much planet there is, no matter where
1t might be weighed.
At the same time we might, withou,
any inexactness, agree that the weight
Of heavenly body should be fixed by
the weight it would have in New York
AS we could not imagine a planet in
New York, because it may be larger
than the earth itself, what we are to
imagine is this. Suppose the plane!
could be divided into a million million
million equal parts and one of these
parts brought to New York and
weighed. We could easily find its
weight in pounds or tons. Then multi.
ply this by a million million million
and we shall have weight of the
planet This would be equivalent to
what astronomers might take as the
mass of the planet.
