PETH


| Mrs. Mabel Buzzeli OF Tunbridge is
acting as housekeeper tori. B. Hutchin-
son.
The farmers in this vicinity are busy
getting their ice, which is good, with
thermometer from 20 to 80 degrees below
zero.
A young man by the name of Wood
worth cut one foot quite badly few days
ago while in the woods chopping, this

the same misfortune this winter.
Carl Bass and Miss Louisa Perham,
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Perham, were united in marriage at
the home OF the groom's grandmother,
Mrs. Martha Bass, in Peth Wednesday
evening of last week at O'Clock by the
Rev. Fraser Metzger. They left on the
morning train for st. Adams. The bride
was married in her going-away gown of
dark blue, with hat to match. After
they return, they will make their home
for the present with the groom's grand
mother.
There is a place in this town where,
within radius of one square mile, there
live eight single men who have each
passed their boyhood days, as their COM
bined age, which is about 263 years, goes
to show. There also live in this same
square mile three widowers, which would
make it seem that there was abundance of
male help in that place. There were nine
of these young men until recently, when
II fair young lady fed with one, leaving
only eight. 1t is said that bill will be
presented to the next legislature asking
that the name of this place be changed to
that of Bachellorville, which would seem
a much more appropriate name, unless
they are carried away, as one has been.

A Sunday School Institute.

There is to be held at White River
Junction on Feb. rs, morning, afternoon
and evening, an institute for Sunday
school workers that will undoubtedly be
of exceptional interest and worth.
Mrs. Mary Foster Brynes, international
field worker, is to be present for an ad-
dress and conference work of various
kinds. She is making a tour of the state
and the Sunday school worksrs of Wind
sor county should count it great privi-
lege to be permitted to hear her and con-
suit with her in regard to their problems.
Rev. F. S. Tolman, who has been a
careful student of psychology and relig-
ious pedagogy, will also lecture at the in
stitute and conduct a conference on this
important subject.
Secretary Fuller will, of course, be
there. No Sunday school gathering in
Vermont is complete without him. He
will be ready for hot-shot questions upon
live Sunday school topics.
All who are interested i'll the local or
state Sunday school work are urged to at
tend this extremely important gathering
at White River Junction Feb. %. Write
to the county president, Rev. F. M. Ba-
ker, Of South Royalton if you desire &C.
commodations for the night after the in
stitute.
Ask your Sunday school superintendent
about the program and watch for it else
where.

A christmas Warnlno.

"In giving Christmas presents to

the president of the National Mothers
Congress, "our first aim should be TO

Il once knew a little girl who, on fire
with excitement rushed in from her
bedroom to see her presents on Christ.

Gel dia de los Reyes, - or ''the day OF
the kings" commemorative the bring
ing of gifts to the infant Christ-but
Kriss Kringle manifestly does not come
down the chimney for the very good
reason that there are no chimneys to
Porto Rican houses. and for equally
obvious reasons he does not bring his
reindeer nor his sleigh.
Instead of hanging up their stock
ings the native children prepare box
flied with grass TO represent a Manager
and place it outside their doors on the
night of the 9TH of January, just as
the little Dutch children in Holland
put out their wooden shoes.
Christmas will always be a church
holiday to the natives, and FL dia de
los Reyes will also probably always
be observed by them. But the Porto
Rican is quick to pick up American
IDEAS and the observance of Christ
mas day is yearly taking on more of
an American character.
One evidence of this is the growing
custom, so common in the southern
states especially, of evidencing ones
appreciation of the occasion by the
free use of tin horns and other agen-
cies for the production of noises.
The first intimation one usually re-
ceives that the day has arrived is the
result Of an enthusiastic and determin-
ed attempt about a. N. on the part
of a native youngster to blow his
lungs out through the small end of
tin horn, and his enthusiasm is in di-
rect proportion to the size Of his horn.
But as the old adage has it, 'the bet
ter the day the better the deed" and
the tin horn is only another expression

Christmas to you all."-Army and

PortoRico's
Christmas
Few Stockings y No Chimneys

Christmas for the Americans in Por-
to Rico is pretty much the same, So
far as the observance of the day is
concerned, as Christmas at home or
anywhere else.
The chief difference is in those char.
acteristics of the season that are due
to or are influenced by the weather.
which more nearly resembles that of
the Fourth of July than "a winter holt
day.
There is the same spirit of good
feeling, the same CHEEKY greeting, the
same happy experience for the little
people in the shape of gifts from San
ia Claus and that same more or less
sincere determination on the part of
their elders to forgive their enemies
which sometimes they do.
Among the natives Christmas day is
a church holiday only, and it is very
generally observed by them as such,
but it is not the occasion of family re-
unions nor the day of gifts, as with
us.

occur and their Santa Claus makes his

A Christmas Hymn.

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming fer;
A lamp within stable.
And in the sky star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought.
Their GLORIA In Excelsis'
To earth the angels taught
When In the lowly manger
The holy mother maid
In tender alteration
Her babe of heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness
And none so poor as he,
The little children of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush OF hostile armies then,
But just the budding sheep.
The angels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame of conquering banners.
No legion sent afar;
A lamp within a stable,
And In the sky star.

FRIDAY, MARCH 70, 1908.
TIP AGAIN.

m old and oft-repeated story that Marshal Nsy was not put to death but that he escaped and came to this eour- fry has received a new impetus. Most readers remember that Ney. called "the bravest of the brave" was one of Na- poIeon.s most eficient and trusted com manders. After the fall Of Napoleon Ney was convicted by the House of Peers on a charge of treason and shot. Many times has the story been told that he was not executed but that he escaped and came to America where he spent the last years of his life. AL though the account of his execution in Paris in December, 1915. has apparent Iy been without flaw. it is equally true that some of the statements asserting his sojourn and death in this country have seemed invulnerable. and there have always been those who refused to believe that he was shot.
 The story all comes up afresh by the recent celebration in saltiIlo, Ind. of the tooth birthday of pr. Eugene Ney, who claims in the most positive man nsr that he is a son of the famous Mar shal that the latter was not put to death in Paris but came to this coun- try as has been so often stated. The Doctor asserts that his knowledge is indlsputable. because he says that his mother sent him over here in 1921 to join his father. which he did. and therefore he knows that his father taught school in Virginia or Carolina years after he was reported dead. Now, how is such a tangle to be straight ened out unless there are more wit nesses2 The poet Milton wanted to
 s'Call up him who left half told
 The story of Cambusean bold"
 and unless something of the kind can be accomplished in the present instance we fail to see how it can be settled. We do not know that pr. Ney has any documentary proof. or evidence of any other kind to establish his contention. and the claim may thus have to rest on his word. As revival of an old and Interesting subject it will be discussed for a time and then be forgotten until something else calls it up.

Letter to The Editor
MIR. TomLINsoNs POSITION.

He Explains That He Does Not wish
 MT. Bryan to Write Platform.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 In your editorial in Saturdays issue you say you differ with me as to the statement in my letter to you that del- egates to Denver should be men who VIII nominate a Vice. President, adopt platform and elect a National Com mittee in accord with the man the Democrats have demanded with one ac- claim as their leader" The language quoted is identical with that used in my address to the Democrats of the state urging the organization of clubs, published by your paper and the press of the State generally some weeks ago, 10 which no objection was then made. but on the contrary. the address was very generally approved. But do you onlnk a successful campaign could be platform and a committee out of har- mony with the head of the ticket? You concede that the rank and file of leadership of the party in this State is convinced that Mir. Bryan is to be the leader" Would 1t be carrying out their wishes to send men to Denver who would favor a Vice. President, a plathorm and committee not in &C., coro witn the leader? Could we hope to win with such a handicap7 It be- ing conceded that the Democrats want MT. Bryan as leader. Is 1t not fair to assume that they want a Vice-Presi- deSt platform and an organization in aseeord? It seems very plain that it Ia the only way that a successful came paign could be conducted. The great nght cannot be won by the ticket and the organization working to cross pur- poses. I fully agree with you that men of convictions should be sent to the National Convention, and I be- lteve that the men who have an- nounced, both for delegates at large and from the districts, are men of that Kind. I fnllX vvtfh &AaA man should dictate the policy or write the platform of the party. MT. Bryan certainly does not want to do this. If the convention should pass a resolu- tion asking him to write the platform he would decline the responsibility All that MT. Bryan's friends want is to send men to Denver who really want him elected President. his nomination being conceded. and who will do ev- erything in their power to bring about that end. and believe that you will subscribe to this proposition. Tn fact, do not see, when we understand each other, that there Is any wide differ ence nor any cause for a controversy. I believe that the only way the party can be successful is to have a harmo- nious ticket. platform and organizn- tion. Under the favorable conditions that now exist. when people will de- mand q change, and with a campaign made from the standpoint of the peo- pie, there is every reason to hope for success which would mean much for victory would stop the menace of the race question i2 the South; it would put an end to the effort to cut down our representation in Congress; we would come nearer getting our fair proportion of government funds for the development of our rivers and harbors and roads; 1t would insure the completion Cf the Panama Canal, and be a blessing and benefit to the masses of the people of the entire country.
 Yours very truly,

A recent issue of The Pittsburg Post has table setting forth the aggregate negro vote In the twelve usually Re- publican States of Connecticut. Dela- ware. Illinois. Indiana. Kansas. Nary land. Nebraska. New Jersey. New York, Ohio. Rhode Island and West Virginia. The table shows total of o,ooo votes which may practically all go one way. or they may not. This is one req son why Taft has been sitting up to the coiored brothers of late and mak- ing them believe that they have no bet ter friend in all the country than he. While it is true that if this vote could be detached from the Republican party its defeat would be pretty sure, we hardly think Democrats need build any bright hopes on that contingency. The Republicans will find a way to corral the blacks. we have little doubt.

LET us NOT FORGET.

Wednesday. the 18th. was the Hist anniversary of one of the really great men of the country. Grover Cleveland. We may not style him "the nobiest Ro- man of them all" but in safe states manship. sound Democracy and good citizenship he deserves to rank with the very best of representative Amer jeans. Like all great men who have dared to do their duty as they saw it, "unawed by influence and unbribed by gain" he has had his share of vituper- ation. abuse and misrepresentation. Some of this proceeded from envy. some from malice. some from spite. and much of 1t from those who did not un- derstand fully the conditions and cir cumstances surrounding him. But we. in common with all admirers of intsg- ri,y and loyalty to duty. have the sat- isfaction of knowing that "Time at last sets all things even." and time will eventually place his name and actions
 
 on the high plane they deserve.
 It Is not necessary to write a pana- gyric on Mir. Cleveland. That has been done by those better qualified. though not by any more loyal to him and to his high character. but we will copy some of the words of one who knows him. understands him and appreciates him as he deserves. Grover Cleve- iand." says The Brooklyn Eagle. "set a standard in public life to which Mir. Roosevelt could do nothing better than to conform, back upon which Mir. Bry- an cannot but look with intellectual en- ". and toward which Mir. Hughes or Secretary Taft could well look with surety. should they equal it, of the ap- proval of their consciences, of the ap- probation of their countrymen and of the admiration of history. We are glad to believe that MT. Cleveland is in excellent health, He should be grat- ihed to realize that he Is the recipient of the confidence and respect of the American people. There are not a few regards in which he is eminent. There are regards in which he is pre-eminent. We wish for him length of days, strength of body and of mind. and the appreciation of the fact that, as the years go on. the people constantly wish that they could go on in the spirit of his courage. of his disinterestednes and of his sturdy enforcement of the Constitution"
