Mr. Franklin at the Bar.

Among the state papers for the year
1886 may be read letter from John
Bartlett to Henry Wills minister.
Thomas Cromwell. stating that in ac-
cordance with the recent act the mayor
and aldermen had chosen Mr.. Pryseley
to attend the English parliament as
the representative of Calais and that
he had made certain arrangements
about his passage into England.
One Thomas Boyd was elected as his
colleague, and Calais continued to send
M. P.'s to Westminster until. in the
reign of Mary. we lost the stronghold
we had held for over two centuries
This is the only instance in England's
history of anything like colonial rep
resentation at Westminster unless in
deed we reckon one or two exceptional
occasions when colonial grievances
have been voiced at the bar of the
house Of commons, as they were so
brilliantly by Benjamin Franklin.

Twain and the Rivermen.

Mark Twain once told to a party of
friends the following story on himself:
On one occasion when he started on
a trip down the Mississippi river on a
fatboat he was advised never to an

on other boats and never to handy
words with them. as he would be sure
always to come out second best. He
followed the advice religiously for a
time, but one day he thought he saw
a chance to get the better of river

Hey. thar. what yer loaded with?"
"Jackasses Don't you want to come
aboard?" yelled back Twain.

Twain made a dive below as all the
rivermen in the neighborhood set up a
derisive laugh at his expense.

OBSERVES BIRTHDAY.
L. Bart Cross Still as Vigorous as
Many Men Years His Junior.

l.. Bart Cross observed his birth
day anniversary without any special
events to mark the occasion outside
of carriage drive. Mr.. Cross is one
of the citys most widely known and
respected citizens. having been born
in Montpelier and lived here all his
| live and enjoyed a successful career
| largely due to his ability to do things
When he was % years of age he be-
came associated with his !fhther,
Charles H. Cross, in the Cross bakery
and through his efforts the business
has grown to three times the size it
was when he took hold of it. The
business was established in 1928 by
the elder Cross, who died five years
ago, living to the age of 81 years He
started on a small scale making a few
crackers and then going out with a
horse and wagon to sell them, some
times selling a dozen, sometimes a
hundred or quarter barrel and
sometimes, but very seldom, whole
barrel. Today the concern, which
purchased the business two years
ago, thinks nothing of filling an or
der for a carload of crackers.
During his time Mr.. Cross has
seen the population grow from 1900
or 1000 to its present size and the
granite industry has grown from no.
thing to be the greatest in this Sec
ton. The increase in the number of
manufacturing plants has also been
great, especially the Lane Manufac-
turing Company. The building of
railroads to replace the stages is
also one of the foremost events that
have occurred during his time. Today
Mr.. Cross Is Aealthy and vigorous and
much younger appearing than he ac-
tually is. To use his own words he
is IAN old man with the heart of
boy" and takes considerable pride in
the rising generation.

YOUNG PARSONS INJURED.
Middlesex Youth Sustained Serious In.
iuries In Collision Monday Night,

George Parsons, the young son OF
Alonzo Parsons Of Middlesex, was
seriously injured Monday evening
while riding a bicycle near Wrights-
vile when he collided with a team
driven by Otis Lawrence, of Wrights-
vile. Young Parsons was very badly
cut about the head and arms, receiv-
ing three wounds that required 81
stitches to close One of them was on
the back of the neck, another on one
arm, and the third was over one of his
eyes.
The lad was riding toward Worces-
ter and the team was going in the op-
posite direction. Parsons had no light
on his wheel and failed to see the ap-
preaching team. The collision took
place near the bridge in front of Johr
Blodgett's blacksmith shop. The
horse ran into field near the Blod-
gett place dragging the lad for g
considerable distance and badly dam.
aging the wagon. The boy was taker
into the Blodgett house and DR.. Tur.
ner of Worcester was summoned ant
dressed the injuries. Although the
cuts are quite large and very painful
it is not thought that they are of E
serious nature On examination i
was found that the boy had been for.
tunate enough to escape without any
broken bones, largely due to the fac
that neither the team nor the boy
was making very rapid Roadway OF
account of the darkness.
Parsons has not yet been removed
to his home on account of the nature
of his injuries, but was reported a:
