LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Mr. EDITOR:
have watched with great interest
all the facts presented in the recent
issue of your paper relative to the
Runaway Pond incident.
As one of the officers of the Orleans
County Historical society have con-
ferred with its secretary, John NJ.
Currier, NJ. D., and Hon. F. W. Bald
win, first vice president, relative to
the centennial celebration of the run
away June 6, 1910.
We desire that all the material facts
that can be ascertained be collected to
assist the one who will be selected to
deliver the address on that occasion.
In Tire last issue of the proceedings
of the Orleans County Historical soci-
ETY. appears sworn statement (no
stronger for that by G F. Gilbert OF
Newport that Deacon Loren Frost of
Coventry told him many years ago
that the work of letting out of the
water of Runaway Pond was the work
of II young men and boys, who went
there with the sole object of fishing,
that the work Of letting off the pond
was done simply for their own amuse-
ment and that the work was accom-
plished without sbovels or other tools
than their hands and the large end of
their fish poles. He denied connec-
ton of the owner of the mill with it.
do not believe the version given
| in Mr.. Gilbert's affidavit to be the true
one as l have a list of about 80 men
and boys who were pr, sent on that
| occasion and the records of our county
court show that suit in county court
was brought Aug. II, 1910, against
! eight of the older and wealthiest men
present on the occasion by David
Blodgett of Barton for damages to his
real estate and sawmill, carried off in
the flood. l desire to get all tie ma
terial facts as they are remembered
by those who heard it from those who
witnessed the runaway.
| wish that all those who are inter
ested in the matter would write me
and give me the material facts as they
heard them; a sworn statement is nc
stronger than a simple statement
signed by thos who send,
Yours truly,
w. F. CLARK.

Yours truly,
New Use for Detectives.

''Ths shadow is one of the most
potent forces in the service of those
who deal in Millions" say David Fer
guson, in The Shadow in High
Finance," in the March Everybody's.
This shadow is no airy, fiimsy thing,
but hard-headed, cold blooded,
patient, persistent, silent detective,
highly trained in all the tricks Of his
craft, but specially developed along
two or three lines. He is used chiefly
to watch men and to get information.
This sounds simple and commonplace
enough, but defines an occupation
that has caused numberless heart
breaks, has thwarted vast ambitions,
and brought about financial tragedies;
while on the other hand it has served
to multiply the great boards of the
masters of high finance"

ACTUALLY CURES CATARRH
Fed ID. Pierce's Faith in Hyomei
Is So Strong He Sells 1t under
Guarantee.

Fred D. Pierce backs up his faith in
Hyomei as a cure for catarrh and
bronchial troubles with a positive
guarantee that if it does lot cure the
money will be refunded.
Hyomei is based on natures way of
curing catarrh. 1t contains concen-
trated healing oils and gums of the
pine woods prepared in such form
that they can be brought into your
own home, with the same results as
though you lived out of doors in the
Adirondacks, and in this way you can
be cured of catarrh and affections of
the nose, throat, and lungs while at
home or at work.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 90, extra bottles, if needed,
may be obtained for SOC. With Hyo-
mel, catarrh can be cured pleasantly
and easily at small expense with no
risk of the treatment costing a penny
unless it cures.

1t Pays to Use Fertiiizing Sale.

Those who have used Salt on light,
sandy or WORKOUT soils are almost
unanimous in the opinion that it is the
cheapest and best fertilizer that they
can use on this kind of land, especial
ly for oats. The application of from
600 lbs. TO 1000 lbs. per acre is said to
more than double the crop. Salt is al
so excellent as weed killer. The Yer
mont Experiment Station especially
recommends it for killing Paint Brush
on grass land. @. s. Page, Hyde Park,
VT, sells very desirable Salt for fer
tilizng purposes, put up in cheap 100
pound sacks, for the Very low price of
So, so per ton, free on board cars at
Hyde Park. This price is considerably
less than that for which ordinary Salt
can be bought and this Salt contains
considerable matter that adds to it's
fertilizing valu4. The freight rates to
points between Nuremberg and Swan
ton and Newport and White River Jet.
are very low on this material, espe-
cially in II ton lots. Write Tor lull

Do Wild Animals Remember and Love
Old Friends?

Old Friends?
The American Magazine for March
contains q piece of fiction in which a
pair of lions in circus are presented
as remembering and saving the life
of an old trainer of theirs whom they
had not seen for many years. This
is commonly believed to be inconsis-
tent with the experience of wild ami
NAL trainers. On that account the
editor of the magazine states in a
note that the story isfounded on fact.

Dear Sirs:-We asked City Drug Co., Crys-

wantedto know, OF their own knowledge, how
it compared with another paint tn knew all

good.

against one-another: one cUat Devoe al
Ions; the other coat that other paint 10

That ether paint is made in New Orleans;
is pure; is considered az excellent paint and
has a good deal of local goodwill.
But the standard nf paint has been low all

HOW THE ENGINE MOVES,

If, upon smooth and level track, you should start
an engine rolling, it would stop of itself.
The track would offer too much resistance to the roll
ing of the wheels Every tiny inequality every minute
projection Of the metal of the wheels would begin to work
against every inequality and pro lection of the metal of
the track; and although two other laws would help
to bring engine to standstill, would mani

the law of friction
And the big engine would stop.
Then friction is bad thing, is it not? 1t stops our
engines If not for this friction, they could
and on by themselves
Here is the miracle 1t is miracle one of nature s
miracles.
Friction stops the engine but this friction is the
thing that enables it to start again and keep going.
The steam PUSHES into the cylinders and the wheels
begin to spin Yet for all the steam might hiss and sput
ter and for all the wheels might and turn forever
nevertheless the big engine would stand still if there
were not something else But if could look closely
enough would that the wheels grip the countless
projections and inequalities of the track would see
that the resistance that stopped helping to start
again. would another manifestation Of this same
and wonderful friction
And the engine would move
Doesn't it strike you that life is good deal like this

ahead.
There many things to stop this progress The

hindrance and disappointment and sometimes failure

BattIeshin TARGET Scores.

The navy department made public
a synopsis of the report of the target
practice by the battleships of the At
Yantic fleet which was had under bat
tie conditions.
The results were the best ever at
tanned in the navy under similar con-
ditions and 1t is announced that they
have greatly encouraged the officers
who directed the firing. They spent
months of hard work preparing for
this battle practice. The statement
follows:
"All Pinch and 13-inch guns aver
aged 30,7 per cent. of hits, 8-inch guns
averaged 27 per cent, and 5-inch, G.
inch and finch averaged 16 per cent.
Out of ~ battleships firing, but three
made low scores, less than Is per
cent. with 12-inch and 13-inch guns;
the remaining nine ships made from
% to 67 per cent. of hits. With S-inch
guns three ships made from to 16
per cent, the remainder making from
81 to 81 per cent.
"The small guns-6-iuch-were fired
at the same range as the heavy guns
and the results showed that these
guns are of practically no use as bat
tie weapons at such ranges.
"The target used was rectangular
piece of canvas 80 feet high by 60
feet wide. Had the target been as
large as the profile of battleship, it
is estimated that at least twice as
many hits would have been made"
