A peculiar custom obtains in the
Twelfth lancers-the playing of the
Vesper hymn, the Spanish chant and
the Russian national hymn every
night of the year after the 'last post
has sounded. 1t is said that the play
ing of the Vesper hymn originated in
one of the officers wives presenting
the regiment with new set of instru-
ments on condition that the hymn
was played every night after the 'last
post" The playing of the Spanish
chant is declared to be penance for
sacking of a convent during the PENN
sular war; No reason is assigned for
the playing of the Russian national
Tit-Bits.

The Kings Business.

The interest in religious matters took
a decided advance in st. Johnsbury last
Sunday, calling out over 400 men at the
mass meeting held in the New Music
Hall, at which time Evangelist Evarts OF
New York gave his address on Cause
and Effect"
The service opened with song, Secre-
tary Adams offered the afternoon prayer,
after which Principal Rowland intro
duced the speaker for the afternoon.
Before commencing the address Mr..
Evarts wished for some rousing hymns,
but as the singing at the start was not
satisfactory to the leader the chorus of
Yield not to temptation" was sang
through several times, which soon
awakened every voice and after that
little practice all joined heartily in the
singing, making the building ring with
those inspiring christian hymns. The
inspiring music rendered by Youngs
orchestra was much enjoyed and proved
very helpful in the singing. The Grace
Church quartet rendered several beauti-
ful numbers, which were much appre-
ciated.
The men at the afternoon service were
deeply moved by the truths presented
and not a few of them decided to
live better and more righteous life. In
the evening Grace Methodist church was
tlled with as appreciative an audience as
ever met in this town. The singing was
inspiring and the message on The New
Book" was received with telling effect.
Converts were made and Christians were
helped. So strong was the impression
made that the churches interested invited
Mr.. Evartsto remain over until Thursday
morning and have his closing service
tonight. This service will be held at the
South Congregational church, the
Methodist, Baptist, Advent and Univer

Big SnOwdriftS.

Only those who drive out into the
country can realize the depth of snow
on some of the back roads. As over nine
feet of snow has fallen this winter some
OF the roads are almost impossible.
Last Thursday was the severest day in
Danyille for many years and on the back
roads all traffic was suspended. In
many places the drifts were 10 feet deep
and the teams that now pass through
the roads there find them almost
resembling tunnels. The lumber dealers
who have to drive out into the country
report that similar conditions exist in
other parts of the county.

game to Spaulding High by the score OF

condition. The property consists Of
about 1000 acres along Bonanza Flat

tory has thus far been explored.
On account of the ground in the On

ing nature and hard to handle. the
drain tunnel on the 200 foot level Of
the property has been run along the
side of the vein. This is the main
drain tunnel and in connection with
it the company has solved to a great
extent the water problem. The DAILY
