The Second Fiddle.

The second fiddle is, on the whole,
the most widely played OF all instru-
ments-fortunately. since II is so espe-
cially the instrument of harmony.
A great many men have an aptitude
for the second fiddle, and where they
take it up at once, without too much
vain experimenting with more preten-
tious parts. they find much satisfac,
ton in it. There is plenty of poor
work done with the second fiddle
though. Men who are forced to 1t by
marrying or other m.schance are very
likely to play badly.
A master OF the second fiddle is not
the least among masters. and he has
besides, the promise of inheriting the
earth.-Puck.

Although the Judge raised his voice

At last the Judge turned to the officer
and said, almost in whisper: He
was drunk when arrested, wasn't he?"
Il only had one glass of beer" said
the prisoner, quickly, in an injured

LETTER FROM BENNETT YOUNG
Leader of ST. Adams Raid Writes to
A. +. Chaffee of Rutland

An interesting story in connection
with the famous st. Adams raid and
the connection of Col. Bennett II.
Young with it is told by A. +. Chaffee
of Rutland, he having been a resident
of that section and later member of
la company that was formed for the
purpose of guarding the frontier
against the confederate troops that
were just across the line in Canada.
Mr.. Chaffee is now attempting to have
this body of men recognized by the
government not by way of pension but
just as to the work they accomplished
and the service they rendered the
country at this time.
At the time of the raid Mr. Chaffee
was living at home just about one-half
mile this side of the border. On the
night of the raid Mr.. Chaffee had gone
to bed and between 9 and 10 o'clock he
was awakened by the noise of the rid
ers passing He said that the roar of
the horses made noise like distant
earthquake. A cousin of Mr.. Chaffee
john A. Bedard was one of the ST. AL
bans party who followed the raiders,
to the border and he stopped and told
lut 1udlCc tnC ioios
Mrs Chaffee was very much frighten-
ed and said she thought the raiders
would go back into Canada and there
join another band and come across
and murder everybody near the bor-
der.
Saw Bennett Young Pass
The next morning Mr.. Chaffee was
in field belonging to a neighbor, Will
liam Armstrong, talking about the raid
when they saw a horseman driving
along the road. Mr.. Chaffee and Arm
strong hailed the man with: Are you
one of those damned raiders?" The
man did not stop. but went along and
in few minutes he was placed under
arrest at the house of Lorenzo Scofield
in Canada. The man turned out to be
Bennett H. Young.
Gets Letter from Mr.. Young
A few days ago Mr.. Chaffee wrote
Mr.. Young asking him If he remem-
bered tne incident and yesterday re-
ceived the following personal letter:
II do not fully recall the circum-
stances related in your letter. 1t pos
sibly may be true. Forty-five years
have transpired since the events dis
cussed in your letter. | should sup
pose that all bitterness would be elm
mated after this long period of time
| Those concerned in the raid have gone
away and most of them have been
useful citizens. | have tried to do my
duty in life in the sphere in which
was called upon TO act | flatter my
self that | have been OF some service
to humanity: tnat | have frightened
some hearts and relieved great many
sorrows. | am annoyed that any bit
terness has been aroused about the
matter The invitation to go to ST
Adams came to me in sucn way that
I did not feel it was nice to decline it
If you ever come my way | should
be glad to have you drop in and see
me.
with renewed thanks for your cour
teous letter and it's expressions, be
| lieye me,
Yours truly.

the car rested on the surface of the
water until all tho members Of the crew,

could be transferred aboard the Fran.
A fresh start was then made and the
America was towed back to the landing
stage and within a short distance of

luck of the expedition was not yet at an
end. Just as the airship had reached tho

damage, a sudden gust of wind caught

SHARP P.F|GHT ON
Tg IINCONE TAX
, can Protective Tariff League
Is Exceedingly Busy
STATEMENTS NAKED OUT
Pamphlets Full of Arguments Against
Income Tax Are Being Sent to
Public Men and Manufac-
turers in All States.

Washington. August 21.--(Specal) THE
powerful and well organized American
Protective Tariff league is lndustriously
is considered indicative of determine tion
of the part of -protectonists to do
everything in their power to prevent the
adoption by a sufficient number of state
legislatures of the proposed amendment
to the constitution providing for the levy
ing of an income tax.
The American Economist, organ of the
league, is busy preparing statements
which are distributed not only among
public men of both of the political par
ties all over the United States. but they
are also being placed in the hands of
manufacturers, evidently with a view Of
influencing sentiment calculated to pre-
vent a number of the legislature from
acting favorably upon the proposition
looking to an income tax.
1t will be recalled that during the recent
struggle over the tariff in Congress SEN
ator Aldrich and other extreme protec-
tionists were practically forced to admit
that II an income tax We're levied the
high rates of duty which the republicans
had agreed upon would have to be rear
ranged IL not materially reduced for he
and those acting with him insisted that
much more revenue would be produced
than the government could reasonably
expend
When they got into a most embar-
raising position President Taft came to
the rescue with the proposition that
the corporation tax be first tried and
Aldrich was compelled to accept that
alternative, although ne virtually de-
clared 1t a make shift that could not
stand long. He could not prevent the
adoption of the income tax matter In
the shape in which 1t WAS finally
patched up.
The Economist Z. now dshing out
weekly letters srom a very pert writer
in London In Wnlen 1t is dsclared in
substance tn at both the corporation ami
the income tax propositions are
wrapped up with free trade" and this
much alarmed writer says that British
protectionists are "astonished at the
anti-protectionists income tax PROPOSE
ton" OF course the contention also is
that but for the income tax in Great
Britain the protectionists over there
might be able to win their fight for d
tariff somewhat similar to that I'M
posed b ythe United States, Germany,
France and other nations.
Much chuckling Is INDUCED In by the
league people because the Georgia
Legislature adjourned without taking
action on the income tax matter, even
though Alabama did promptly ratify
the amendment, being the first of the
states to take it up. If only IL states
refuse to adopt the amendment 1T will
be defeated. This Is what the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff leaNue and all the
ultra -protectionists appear to be play
ing hard for.
