DRUM CORPS AT CELEBRATION.
High School Organization May Go to
Burlington to Tercentenary.

Supt. F. J. Brownscombe is in re-
cepit of a letter from the secretary
of the Tercentenary celebration.
asking about the possibility of get
ting tn Montpelier High school drum
corps for the Fourth of July cele-
bration in Burlington. This action
of the committee on arrangements
of the Tercentenary, is somewhat
unexpected, and highly satisfactory
to those In charge of the drum
corpse. as they have desired to take
the boys TO Burlington for the big
day, but did not see how it could be
managed. Supt. Brownscombe has
written the secretary to the effect
that the boys will come for their
railroad expenses and dinner, charg-
ing nothing for their services while
there. The mere exhibition of the
boys in the line of march ought to be
a good lad" for the Montpelier High
school and Montpelier itself, and the
opportunity of booming the city and
its institutions should not be lightly
passed by. 1t is to be hoped that ar
rangements can be made for the boys
to be in attendance on the Fourth

FEMALE Philosophy

Introduce domestic science and
trades instruction in the schools
a local man was heard to say on
Friday as he looked over the man
ual training exhibit at the Union
building, land Montpelier will have
school system the equal of many
cities of twice her size" And just
to show how varied are the kinds
of humans, another parent, examin-
ing the same exhibit,was heard to
remark that, in his own opinion,
this riff-raff work in school hours
was all blamed foolishness and that
he, for one, sent his boy to school
to learn from books and not to play
the fool with kindergarten appli-
ances." He was just the type of
man from whom one would expect
just that type of remark. His feat
ures had the sharp, pinched look of
narrowmindednes and one could
judge from the meek appearance
of the little woman who accompan-
led him, that he didn't believe in
any blamed foolishness on her part,
either.
For curiosity's sake, sought out
the boy and sized him up. Just as
thought, too. The youngster would
never dazzle the human race with
the brilliancy of his mental attain
ments, his intellect would never
soar into heights unclaimed by or
binary mortals, but he did have a
genius for just plain Fmaking
things" with bits Of wood, a few
nails, and a hammer. His teacher
told me that he was accomplishing
nothing in books or in manual work
although, when the latter branch
was first introduced into the schools
he had displayed much enthusiasm
and had shaped very creditable ar
ticles with a little instruction. I
soon perceived the reason. Those

INTERESTING OLD PAPERS.
DIR. Sabin Of Burlington Has Some
Telling OF Incidents In 1872.

DR.. II. Waite Sabin of Burling-
ton, formerly of this city, has in his
possession two newspapers unusu-
ally old and unusually preserved,
they being copies of the Portsmouth
Oracle of October "a, 1912, and the
Concord Gazette of February 2, 1918
These papers were published during
the exciting period of the second
war with Great Britain and the for
mer paper was at the time the or
gan of a large class of New Hamp-
shire people, who were strongly OPP
posed to the war. The paper con-
tains a long letter addressed to
President James Madison, the letter
being the sentiment of the "Strat-
ford Convention" held in Gilman
ton, N. H., on October Z, 1912. The
paper is calling attention to its
readers to the address to President
Madison, expresses itself in plain
language as follows: 1.-THE follow
ing Many Dignified and Indepen-
dence Memorial, has been equalle'
by few, since our disastrous War =
1t speaks the voice of the Freemen,
in commanding language When
the Yeomanry of our Country awake
they will be heard when they will,
they will receive address. Let the
first Monday of November next con-
vince Madison and his parasites,
that all sovereignty rests with the
people"

first few articles had been taken
home for the admiration of the
family circle. The father, whose
opinion was the only authorized
standard allowed in the household,
had glanced at them, asked what
John got in arithmetic that day and,
scowling at the answer, ordered.
you take those things out of my
sight, John, and get at your books.
No more of that kiddishness in this
house Hence the present indiffer-
ence which was telling on both the
boy and his instructors.
The youngster was a born carpen-
ter. His father had dreams OF
profession for his son and,
neither understanding the other, af-
fairs stood at a bad angle in that
household. 1t is not an isolated cir
cumstance. Too often, young eff
forts toward the results which they
can best achieve, toward the results
which they are best fitted for achiev-
ing, are unappreciated by doting
mothers and ambitious fathers who
look for great things from the child
of very ordinary parents. Many a
child can learn more at first hand
than he can acquire by reading of
the knowledge gained by some one
who might have been surrounded by
very different circumstances, but
efforts toward common" occupa-
tions, so called, are squelched in the
vain effort to make a scholar, a pro-
fessor, doctor from grey matter
which was never destined for such
moulding. Why don't you let the
boys and girls work out their own
salvation, as far as their occupation
in life is concerned, and let ambition
find an outlet in teaching them how
to be useful citizens?
Yours,
Prudence Prude.

SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Used Army Musket to Shoot Him.
self. Had Fought Indian With
Same Weapon. "ChOres All Done"
Said He In His Note.

Essex Junction, May 10.-Desiring
that he might not live to be a care,
George w. Warren shot himself
through the heart yesterday morn
ing with a carbine, the relic of his
army days when he fought Indians
on the frontier under General How
ard. He left note for his comrade
in war and peace, Juan Ladue, say
ing Eight o'clock chores all done.
Good bye"
Born in England about So years
ago, Mr.. Warren ran away at the
age of nne and for sometime ived in
Quebec. He left there for New York
and enlisted for Civil War, serving
nearly three years in New York
regiment. Following this service he
enlisted in the regular army at San
Francisco and fought under Gener-
al o. o. Howard along the frontier.
Mr.. Warren completed IS years
service in the army at Fort Preble,
Me-, attaining the rank of sergeant,
1t was at Fort Preble that he made
the acquaintance of Juan Ladue,
native of Milton, Vt, and began a
friendship which continued % years.
At the close of their army life, this
inseparable pair passed eight
months in San Francisco and then
bought a farm near what is now
Fort Ethan Allen In three years
they sold that place and bought an
other in what is known as Lost Ma
ton in the town of Essex, about
two and half miles from this viii
lage For about IS years, they have
owned this farm but during the past
seven winters have lived in a neat
little house which they bought on
North street and have always kept
bachelors hall" for Twin Ladue,
as hte is best known, is famous
cook.
Mr.. Ladue has been spending the
greater part of the past two weeks
at their farm, making frequent Wis
its to his comrade at their home in
the village. This morning he came
home about nine o'clock and being
unable to enter the cottage forced
his way through the rear door to
find that Mr.. Warren had fallen
against it, He thought his chum had
suffered shock and called in neigh
bors. Instead they found he had
shot himself through the chest, plac-
ing the butt of the rife in the sink
and pulling the trigger with a
string.
Warren had not been in good
health for several years and had ex-
pressed a desire that he might not
live to be care. Although without
school education, Mr.. Warran was
a we'll read man and an interesting
conversationalist
Twin" Ladue is nearly heart bro
ken over his bereavement.
The two old gentlemen had lived
together for % years. Mr.. Warren
attended the Pittsburgh fair about
two years ago and upon getting on
to the boat felt in his pocket to see
if his wad was with him.. 1t was in
tact but on the tip some pickpocket
got after it for when he arrived
there he was 5000 shy. He has
brooded over the loss of this money
ever since and it is believed to have
played part in bringing him to his
tragic end.

Local and National
Surfing Is To
Be Summer
Race

The Outrigger Club is making
preparations for the opening of the
season, and 1t is proposed to mark
the event with ball and illumina-
ton Of the lagoon during the dane
ing. The ladies' annex building is
completed and everything is now in
good shape. Every afternoon par
ties of children, accompanied by q
chaperone, are to be seen enjoying
themselves in the surf. The last few
days have been ideal for swimming,
and the water is just right now.
The Outrigger Club is undoubted-
ly one institution that will be kept
going in style. A fine lot Of officials
are in charge of the affairs of the
club, and surf-boarding, etc, is go
ing to boom this coming summer as
never before. Even now q great
number of would-be Freeths can be
seen every morning and evening do
ing circus tricks on surf-board,
which is balanced on the crest of a
huge breaker. Some of the youths
are very expert at the game and the
cries of establishment from the new
arrivals at the beach are as incense
to the boys.

HilO Is Making
Ready For
Fourth

Hilo is making great preparations
for the Fourth and. as usual, horse
racing will be the trump-card. Still,
great deal OF interest is always Ia
ken in the field events, and the ham
merthrow, shotput, high jump, and
hurdle races are the cause of much
excitement in the rainy city and its
surrounding districts. Plantation
men from the extremes of Hamakua
to the ends of Kau, manage somehow
to get into town for the Fourth
and don't they whoop up things, too,
in style! There is nothing like 1t
in any other part of Hawaii.
Men, who at their last meeting had
clasped hands somewhere north Of
the Tweed, run into one another in
Demosthenes', and then what a howl
Of delight goes up. What! Is that
you, Sandy!" AYE, mon, how is 1t
wi you, Jock? When did you ar
river" And then the national bev-
erage is called for and yarns are
snapped until It is time to depart for
the racetrack.
One year is much like another, and
that means that they are all good.
Everyone has money, and no one Is
scared of risking a wad on a favorite
gee-gee. O'Rourke is one of the
leading sportsmen Of the town, and
his horses, always trained to the
minute, can be relied upon to run
straight. Many visitors are planning
to make the trip to Hilo for the
Fourth, and those who have been
there before, and who have tasted
the delights-of the Crescent City, are
simply longing to wander up Front
street and around the corner to
where the bunch congregates.
The races promise to be real good
this year, as no one horse in particu-
lar seems to stand out so much bet
ter than the rest, as was the case
with Banonica last race-day. Dicky
Davis of Maui and Louis Warren OF
Oahu may be relied upon to take a
horse or two over for the Fourth, and
If the latter cleans up things as he
did last year there will be some sur
prised sports In Hilo.
