wish / could impress this simple
but fundamental truth upon the whole
agricultural class Of this country un-
til 1t should awake from its lethargic
sleep Of centuries. Its units are so
separated and scattered that it's ad
hesion into a mighty whole with it's
migntier power can only be brought
about by arduous, persistent and pa

Potentially, the agricultural class is
the gwatest power in the world. Ac-
| tually 1T exercises less influence over
its own destiny and welfare than any

comparatively few to fix not only the

SO the purchase price of the things 1t
must buy. 1t has been as a great

The Force of Habit.
Why, during all of the past ages
have the feeders of the world been
content to occupy an industrial pos
ition inferior to those whom they have
fed? Certainly by the first law Of ma
ture their occupation is superior to all
others. One of the underlying causes
is that most powerful element OF our
nature. the force Of habit, or custom.
The life of the individual and the life
of the nation are ruled by customs.

DEAD AT 10 YEARS.
Joseph Wood of Weston Passed Away
Tuesday.

Joseph Wood Windsor county's ven
erabIe citizen, died at his homeEin Wes-
TON Tuesday at the age of 110 years
and 3 months. lacking 6 days. He had
been i'll practically all winter, but with
the exception of such illness as would
naturally come with advanced age MT.
Wood had never been sick. With ms
second wife, nearly so years Of age, ne
lived in two-room cottage on small
plot of land bought of A. II. Drury
when he came to Weston 2S years ago
last spring. Mr.. Drury built the house
under the direction of Mr.. Wood who
with his family made his home IN
nearby barn while the new home was
being constructed. Despite ms eX
treme age, the fact that he had been
totally blind for 10 years; and too,hless ,ess
for so wears, Mr.. Wood enjoyed life
and his interest in current events nev-
er tagged until he was stricken with
his last illness.
He was, according to the best inforr
nation obtainable. born near Montreal,
p. O., Feb. "a, 1900. His parents came
from France to Canada about three
months before he was born. His an
cestry was always great pride to MIN
as his parents were Parisians. He came
TO Vermont when so years old and be-
came naturalized soon after coming to
Vermont. Always strictly temperate,
with his life spent for nearly half
q century in the Canadian forests as.
woodsman, his rugged constitution, IN
herited from his ancestors. had peen
built upon until he had reached the ex-
treme age Of five score and ten years;
That Mr.. Wood came of a family noted
for its longevity may be seen when 1T
is stated that his paternal grandfather
died at the age of 112 years. His IA,
ther was 80 years old at the time or
his death which resulted from injuries
received while attempting to shoulder
and carry four bushels of peas. oe
Mr.. Wood was twice married, VI
the first union four children were born;
and one child was born to his second
wife His second marriage occurred, %
wears ago. That his wife came OF a
long.liyed family is shown when it IS
known that her mother was l03 years
old at her death. Mr.. Wood 8 fund or
anecdote was wonderful and his recoi,
lection of events that happened over ~
wears ago gave his listeners the imp
preston that the narrator was from

being largely attended. Rev. Mr.,

VIRGINIA SHOULD PROTEST.

This~paper agrees with the kich-
mond Virginian in the opinion tha'
the state of Virginia should strongly
nrotest to the war department against
an approval OF the findings OF the
summary couit- martial which tried a
negro soldier for defying and threat
ing with a pistol a Virginia militia OF
fcer Mt Gettysburg. Unless formal
representations are made TO the gov
eminent by the State. The war depart
ment will know nothing of the case
except through the reports OF Generai
Wotberspoen. who commended AT
Cettys burg and who ignored Cover
nor Mann's protest against the trial
of the negro, charged with gravest
Kind OF a military offense, by petty
court In view of the generals con-
duct there Is no reason for believing
that his reports will be either full or
fair.
The yirginian. concluding a sum
mary of the situation, says:
Under these circumstances. we trus'
that the State of Virginia Will MOI
only protest to the war department
against an approval of the findings OF
the summary court; that it Will no
only demand that Carroll be placed OF
his trial before a court competent q
pass upon the charges which shouit
be preferred agains. him, but that, D,
representation to the department ant
to congress, IL necessary, IL will DE
mand that the man whose strange
prejudices and whose assinine mscon
ceptinn of the duties of his position
were responsible for the scandal b
himself pst upon his trial as one whit
treated his own high commission will
a contempt impossible even to goo'
private.
This is a matter Of extreme Import
anee to Virginia. II the war depart
ment approves the findings OF tn
summary court and sustains Genera
wotherspoon in his attitude, Virgins
will be compelled to keep her troop
away from national encampments and
as far as possible. from other gather
