Marking Historic Spots.

During recent years 1t has become GUS
tomary to mark historic places with appro-
pirate tablets. There has been a reEais-
sance of interest in historical events which
l think Is due to the organization of patri-
otc societies like the Sons and Daughters
of the Revolution, the Colonial Danes and
similar associations. The local histories
that l told you about the other day have
contributed great deal to this revival, and
the celebra ton of Old Home week, which is
now becoming general throughout the New
England states, stirs up the memories and
brings out the recollections of the Oldest
inhabitants.
Only few weeks ago a big boulder of
granite six feet high was erected the
village common at Bennington Center to
commemorate the fact that William Lloyd
Garrison, the great abolitionist. was once
the editor of a weekly newspaper in this
town, a fact that had been forgotten or was
at least unknown to ninety-nine out of
every hundred inhabitants. Mr. Garrison
came here in 1898 because he was needed by
the wing party on account of a change in
the political complexion of the Gazette,
a weekly paper of great influence in the
southern part of Vermont. This had been
a whig state and a great ma ajority of the
people favored the re- election of John Qun-
cy Adams for the presidency, but for some
reason which has been lost to the memory
of man, the paper changed it's course and
came out in favor of Andrew jackson Ieay-
ing the whigs without an organ. The infiu-
ential men of the party got together con-
trlDuteu money 10 start another paper, and
sent committee to Boston to find an editor
William Lloyd Garrison, a brilliant young
attache on the staff of one of the Boston
journals. accepted six months contract
on trial, stipulating that he should have
| the privilege of advocating emancipation
temperance, peace and moral REFORM as
| well as the reelection of Quincy Adams
Before Garrison had been here six
months. however Benjamin Lundy Qua
| ker, came on foot all the way from Balti-
| more to consult with Garrison about the
anti-slavery movement and persuaded him
| to leave Bennington and take up the cause
| of the aboltionists In that city Another
| editor was found for the Journal Of the
! Times, as the new Bennington paper was
| called, and Garrison undertook the publi-
\ cation of the Genius, the organ of the
Maryland abolitionists. The Garrison me-

~LAIRE HARDING had now adj
ventured upon narrow ledge.
~ On the one hand she was bound
to show proper appreciation
of Daintree's exertions, which she her
self had inspired: on the other. to feign
a purely impersonal or benevolent in
terest in the unhappy youth on whose
behalf those exertions were being
made. So all day long she must be
ready with a smile as false as any
other mummer's, even though she spent
the night in prayer for Tom and for
her own forgiveness. Yet praying did
not bring her peace of mind. She
>ould not convince herself that she was
n the right; that even her great end
justified means of downright hypocrisy
and deceit. There We're two ways of

RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL
Mrs. M. S. kness Gets Home From
Council Bluffs Sunday.

We are pleased to note that Mrs.
M. S. Kness, who was taken to the
hospital at Council Bluffs for surgical
treatment was able to be brought
home last Sunday. About two weeks
after the first operation an abscess
formed in her side which required a
second operation to prevent its open
ing inside the body which might have
led to serious results. Though Mrs.
Kness was brought home on "a cot and
is still very weak she stood the jour
ney remarkably well and there is good
reason to hope now for "a rapid and
permanent recovery.
