Comparative Politics.

The St. Adams Messenger raises Its
hands in holy horror and wonders what
Tom Chittenden would think of present
day politics.
Dunno But we suspect that if over
mont's George Washington" were run
ming for governor today, and there were
no more substantial opposition to him
than there is to DR.. Mead, he would
probably call in the Aliens, the Robin
sons and the Warmers and celebrate, aud,
incidentally, offer warm congratulations
to Col Joseph Fay, who seemed to have
been the John l.. Lewis of those days.
1t is probable that the St. Alhans
Messenger of those days would have con.
tanned long editorials denouncing the
governor and council for meeting occa-
sionally at the old Catamount Tavern
in Bennington and not calling all their
conferences at the new Colonial Inn, in
st. Adams.
We are sorry the St. Adams contem-
porary bemoans its fate at being born
at this late date and in this perverse and
sinful generation.-St. Johnsbury Re
publican.
o, Tom Chittenden What peryer
sion of primeval politics is committed
in thy name.

"If Essex Republicans uame Col. Por-

publican.
"Now then, just az a test question let
us see how many Vermont newspaper
men in the harness today remember
when Colonel Dale was once nominated
for this same office, or proposed for the
nomination, only to have it discovered
later that he was under the constitu-
tional age of eligibility. And how long
ago was it.-St. Adams Messenger.
Mr.. Dale was nominated for senator
without dissenting vote by the repuh-
lcans in convention assembled at Guild
hall June 26, 1894. A day or so there
after his ineligibility as not of constitu-
tional age was discovered, and at sre-
cial convention held Friday, July &, his
father, Hon. George N. Dale, received
the nomination.

slight distortion of the French "carr

was made In obedience to the uni

mean something by associating them
with others which they resemble in
sound. Often there Is no chronological
relation between the words associated

"Sparrowgrass is so general that as

Game of Wolf. Wolf.

THE story Of the little boy who called
Wolf, wolf" when there were no
wolves. is known by many young folks.
Would you like to know how to play
the game which is very much like the
story? One boy Is the shepherd. Several
playmates are the lambs that he is sup
posed to he watching. Two players are
the wolves that steal the lambs. and one
player is the woodman who captures the
wolves. Part Of the play space is called
Il pasture, because the lambs and the
shepherd boy take their places there.
The wOodman takes his place at some
spot not too far away in order to pre-
tend that he is in the woods. The wolves
hide in other woods nearby. Before the
wolves really go to steal the lambs the
shepherd boy, in fun. calls "woif. wolf"
The woodman thinks that the wolves are
pasture, but as the wolves have not
been there he scolds the shepherd boy
for being so foolish as to call him. Then
the woOdman goes back to his work. The
foolish shepherd calls wolf, wolf again.
The woodman returns again, but every
thing is all right AS soon as the wood
man goes away the second time the
The shepherd boy calls for help, but the
woodman does not go to him, as he sup
poses that the boy is only calling for
sport. After all of the lambs are stol-
en- the woodman returns to find that the
pasture has been robbed. He then chases
them, who becomes the woodman for
the next game. The shepherd boy takes
the VOLTS place in the woods and Q new
shepherd is then chosen.
