Nearly a Draw.

In the rough part Of Minnesota
there were two camps comparatively
near to each other, and much rivalry
existed. The rivalry took on all
forms, but principally one Of prowess.
This was occasionally decided by
rough and tumble bouts between the
champion or most able representative
of each.
On one occasion an Irishman was
picked from the camp In the hollow,
and from the one on the hillside, a
Swede, lately come into camp, was Sc
lected. He was brawny person,
who commanded respect on sight. but
he had no more knowledge of English
than he had picked up In the short
time he had been In the United States.
Before the mill began It was agreed
that when one or the other was will
ing to cede the victory he should say
Sufficient" 1t was hard word for
the Swede. and he repeated 1t over
to himself before the signal to start
was given.
For long time the two fought,
each gradually losing his strength and
growing weak and foppy. Yet the
Swede looked as If he might keep up
the tussle for hours despite his de-
jected appearance. and on the Irish
mans face was agonized determine

But finally the Irishman succumbed
and said Sufficient"

Woodstock. VT. March II. 1910
Automobiles.

Now that the annual meetings have
fixed up town and village affairs for
the year, there is nothing outside OF
routine business for our local and
town officials to look forward to but
the return of automobiles with re-
endorsements, augmented power and
at high speed. They will be here in
a few short weeks.
1t is very reasonable to assume
from the rush of people to the allur-
ing show of automobiles in Boston
this week that-life will be more ex-
citing than ever in Woodstock the
coming season, with perils for the
young, the infrm, and others. There
is work ahead for the city council
and other authorities, and for the
safety of the public it's members
should be getting ready to brush up
last years warning signs and other
wise prepare for press OF business.
There was much reckless driving
in the streets of the village last sea-
son. There is no need of more rules
and regulations for the conduct OF
chauffeurs and the management of
their machines at street corners, and
elsewhere. There are enough now ;
it is the humane duty of the local
officials to see that they are strictly
and impartially enforced, even if they
have to put the screws on pretty
tight in some cases. And lest the
automobilists complain that they are
unjustly Disseminated against, the
officials should let the public under
stand that traffic regulations alsc
apply to horse-drawn vehicles and
bicycles.

towed by heavy snow storms and
warm weather which caused the
snow to melt and put from six to Ia
inches of water and snow on the
surface, which has remained on the
ice since that time, notwithstanding
all efforts to dispose of it. The
heavy rain of Sunday night reduced
the thickness and caused the ice to
become porus, and at this writing
the prospect of Lake Ansel ice for
this season is very discouraging.

VOICES IN PROTEST

There is good hard common sense
in the following from the White
River Junction Landmark.
at is an easy thing to insinuate
that this and that candidate for the
governorship is out to pay a cash
price for the nomination, but it is in
the main a reprehensible insinuation.
If one does not like the suggestion
of Governor Mead for the governor
ship then let him bring out another
candidate more to his liking, for it
is his privilege to do SO. Don't
whine; don't throw mud but fight in
the Open"
And, besides, all this barrel talk
is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Argus.
Thus far it has been a feature Of
the campaign that in general the
press and the men favoring Doctor
Meade have treated Mr.. Fleetwood
md every talked of candidate with
fairness, respect, and considerat.
'ourteousness, while the majority OF
the press and men opposed to DR.
Mead have been bitter in their ar
raienment and unfounded charges
against him. We believe the Rut.
land candidate a gamer thereby.

HE TOOK The CAKE.

= A Story of William Black, the Novel;
list, and Mary Anderson.
One time when Mary Anderson was
playing in 1.-THE Winters Tale" in
Dublin. William Black, the novelist.
who was very Intimate with Miss An
derson and her family. insisted upon
assuming the, part Of one Of the supers.
who was dressed as a very old man
with a venerable beard and locks that
fell upon his shoulders. When Black
went uponathe stage. In this disguise
he walked. about among his fellow
supers with increasing restlessness
and. Judging by the wild motions of his
arms. seemed to be addressing to each
In turn an impassioned harangue. The
audience began to wonder who the
new actor.fwas and what on earth he
was doing in a play in which neither
Shakespeare nor the stage managers
ever intended him to appear.
Presently came the time when 1t
was the business of Perdita to distrib-
ute flowers among the peasants, among
whom Black had his place, Miss An
derson, carrying on the practical jokes
Of the family circle, had prepared
surprise for this moment. and, having
distributed, flowers among the less IA
vored supers, she handed to Black
large cake crowned with a wreath of
laurel. saying as she did so. "You take
It," in allusion to his triumphs in the
contest of wits at the supper table.
To her CONSERVATION. Black showed
that he was quite prepared to carry
out the jest, for. taking the cake from
the hands of Perdita. he Immediately
distributed 1t In substantial portions to
his hungry fellow suppers, who, find
ing 1t to be of excellent quality. be-
gan to MUNICH 1t greedily under the

Cometh March, with wind and rain.
Smashing on the window pane.
Little zephyrs here and there
Lifting roofs high In the air,
Blowing hats from A to Y.
Raising thunder on the sea,
Filling all the air with dust
On their mad boreal bust.
Now and then we hear the hum
or the blizZards frolicsome
AS about the land they tack,
Giving early spring a whack,
Filling all the ways with snow,
Setting plumbers hearts aglow,
Raising thunder with the car
OF the trolleys near and far.
Now and then a robins peep
Tells us somewhere life is "cheep."
And the rose gives us the laugh
At nine dollars and a half,
For 1t knows that Casters moon
Will be shining very soon.
And amid this wintry scene
Cometh March the seventeen.
Marvel month this month of March.
Filling up our souls with starch.
Now a lion. now a lamb,
Now a blat and now a slam
How 1t fills the soul with cheer
That 1t comes but once q year!
