A STUDENT OF PLATFORMS
Taft Going Over Records Of Many
Conventions.

SOIlNCNlhlOios
Hot Springs, Va, July 15.-From
the present indication Judge Taft's
letter of acceptance will be judicial
scoring of the Democratic platform
adopted at Denver. All day and late
into the evening Mr. Taft's time is
being devoted to study OF the plat.
form of the two parties. When he
has concluded his labors he will be
not only an authority on the work of
the recent conventions, but on politi-
cal platforms of the past. Mr.. Taft
is securing the complete seclusion he
desired, as there Is not a single party
leader here to interrupt his work by
requests Of conference.
Mr.. Taft expects his speech of ac-
ceptance will be about $500 words in
length. On account If its brevity 1t
will probably only contain reference
to leading issues of the campaign,
leaving subjects of less Importance
to be treated in his letter of accep-
lance, which will contain about $4,000
words
Mr. Taft has announced his ac-
ceptance Of an invitation to address
the Virginia Bar Association, which
will be in session here the first week
in August. Ex-United States Senator
Lindsay of Kentucky will deliver the
annual address before that body.

ESCAPED SECOND TIME
Alleged Forger Leaves St. Adams in
Automobile.

Rutonopl
st. Adams, July 14.--Fred Harriet,
who is wanted at Mlddlebury on a
charge of grand larceny or embezzle-
ment. probably crossed Lake Cham
plain to New York from here by
steamer yesterday morning, Harriet
was arrested Sunday night but escap-
ed from the Off ers twice, the second
time making good his escape
Harriet who came here In an auto
mobile and registered at the Central
house, went TO the hotel Office and de
manded his grips, which the boy re-
fused to give him, whereupon Harriet
seized case knife and rushed at the
boy, cutting one of his hands. Harri-
lot then became frightened and left
suddenly without his grips.
Officers in the surrounding towns
have been notified and are keeping a
sharp lookout for the fugitive.
The automobile in which Harriet
came to town was New York ma
chine numbered 56,272 and 1t is
thought il may have been stolen. The
machine has been attached for Harri-
OTIS bills
Harriot's mode OF operation was to
go into town and sign his name to
a check ON the Middlebury National
bank. In this way he secured $50 at
oxford, n. Y, $45 in Rutland and $25
in Swanton.

SATURDAYS BALL GAME
Opening Of Hooslok Falls Series at
Morgan Park on the 18th.

Morgan Park on the 18TH.
The regular series of baseball
games scheduled with Hoosick Falls
will open at Morgan Park Saturday
afternoon, July IS. Manager Corbett
today received a telegram from
Spring, who caught for Bennington
during the early part of the season,
stating that he would be on hand for
the game without fail. Word was al
so received from Pat Lennon that he
would arrive here Saturday to pitch
the game. While Lennon has beaten
easily every team that he has been up
against here this season there Is a
prevailing impression that the big
fellow is capable of faster work than
he has yet exhibited in Bennington.
That he has reputation as a heady
and speedy pitcher is well known and
he will certainly have an opportunity
TO live up to 1t on Saturday.
The team will play as II has dur
ing the past few games. Barksdale
will be on first, Cathcart at second,
Waters at short and Cheney at third
with Prlndle, l3ressette and Worth
ington in the field.
For the return game to be played
at Hoosick Falls another pitcher will
have tohe secured and there may be
other changes in the team as Cath
cart will be unable to cover second
base.

FORTY DAYS RAIN
What We May Expect Because II
Rained Wednesday.

According to an old English legend
as rain fell Wednesday, July Is, st.
Switin's day, 1t will rain every day
for the next forty days If this be
true we are assured of an abundance
of rain for our crops and too much
for. good hay weather.
The legend runs as follows Saint
Switin lived in England during the
tenth century being at one time tutor
10 the famous King Alfred. After his
death he was cannonized by the Cath
Ollie church He is said to have
wrought many miracles most celebra-
ted of which was rain of forty days
continuance by which he testified his
displeasure at an attempt OF the
monks to hurry him in the chancel OF
the minister instead of the open
church yard as he had directed"
This legend has been carefully pre-
served 0y people of England and even
IN our own country
