so MANY winking ewes. There is an air redoent of
ripenng fruit and hops; for Dapplemere is place of
orchards and hop gardens, and rickyards while here
and there the sharp pointed, red tiled root OF some
oasthouse pierces the green
Though Dapplemere village is only very small
place indeed nowadays yet it possesses church, gray
and ancient, whose massive Norman tower looks down
upon gable and chimney upon roof OF thatch and roof
of tile, like benignant giant keeping watch above
them all Nearby, of course is the inn great, ramb
ling comfortable place. with timeworn settles beside
the door, and with mighty sign swinging before it,
upon which, plainly be seen, when the catches it
fairly, that which purports to be likeness of his
Majesty King William w., of glorious memory But
alas. the colors have long since faded that
dull day, it is moot question whether his Majestys
nose was of the Greek Roman ORDER or, indeed
whether he was blessed with any nose at ALL Thus
time and circumstances have united to make ghost
of the likeness (as they have done of the original long
since) which, fading vet more and more will doubtless
eventually vanish altogether, like King William him
self, and leave but vague memory behind.
Now before the inn was small crowd gathered about
trap in which sat two men, one OF whom Belew recog
nized the red necked chandler Crimes and the
other the rat eyed Parsons
The corn chandler was hopping violently at his face
and neck, down which ran and to which cung foamy

The chandler, having removed most of the roth
from his head and face stared down at the straight

powerful scowled at the Sergeant from his polished
boots to the of his well brushed hat perched

You folks would make an angel sore;
Laugh, if you want to; jes' the same

"You ought to pompadour your head.
Eyes, pa, an if you like" said Cert,
"Ill work some letters on your shirt.
They're wearing dinky hats this year,
Said ma; "you must have one, my dear.

And show the world that you're hot stuff, .
At which pa jumped right up, real sore,
An grabbed his hat and banged the door.

Current Comment
Let Us Have the Facts.

One "down-country' newspaper, evil
IDENTIFY over.zealous in Its championship
of Mr.. Mellen's policy of dominating the
railroad interests of New England, has
on several occasions taken pains to EN-
phasize the notion that the Central YER
mont railway "has lot OF old iron
strung along from the Canada line to
New London" and that its roadbed is
in no condition to transport the i'm
mense freight traffic that the Grand
Trunk system proposes to carry from
the West to the Atlantic seaboard when
its outlet to Providence is built, say
nothing of the problem that will con-
front it when the much talked OF entry
to Boston may be secured.
The Messenger would be vTy glad to
have the railroad expert on the edi-
torial staff Of this newspaper tell the
people of New England in true technical
language Just upon what practical
knowledge of railroading it bases its
eontempuous illusions to this mat
ter.
To the superficial mind of some peo-
pie that live near enough to the Gen.
trail Vermont railway to see the eharac-
ter of the motive power and the bulk
of freight going over il even now, it
is inconeeivable that the great Grand
Trunk system, reaching from ocean
to ocean, on this continent, should ex-
ert so much anxiety and energy and
spend so much money TO obtain new
right of way to the Atlantic through
New England if its roadbed is not ca
pable of upholding the immense freight
business it proposes to conduct 1t
power that is thus far so successfully
hopping the continent with iron and
binding the Orient to the Occident with
is gigantic plans for transportation
must have suddenly become curiously
shortsighted if it permits the plans of
years to fall through at the last be-
cause of the lack of few miles of safe
roadbed so near the goal
The Messenger will venture to sug-
gest to The Hartford Times that brief
inspection of the Central Vermont line
and passing view of the power and
the rolling stock now daily traversing
it may be more convincing than any
amount Of misspilled printers ink.
And in the meantime IL is hardly con-
sistent with fairness, however honest
" taken ones position on the side of
the New Haven may be- persistently
to spread a popular notion about the
physical equipment of the Central YER
mont system that cannot be borne out
by the facts.-St. Adams Messenger.

ONE VALUE OLE PUBLICITY.

New Hampshire's law requiring leg
isative lobbyists to file their salary
and expense accounts with the secretary
of state has resulted in some interest
ing revelations concerning the most re-
cent session of the legislature. No less
than l04 men announced that they were
"third house" members, representing
perhaps three hundred organizations or
interests. One of the interesting revela-
tons is that Boston & Maine attor-
ney, who was engaged to look after the
roads interests, was paid the highest
salary for his services, the amount be-
ing $l,750, while Louis d. Brendeth, the
expert, who went to New Hampshire to
investigate railroad rates, was paid no
salary, but received his expenses which
amounted to $50.
But the chief value of the law is not
the publication of the salaries and ex.
penses but the announcement that per.
sons who are buttonholing members
about the State House are working for
special interests, by which they are paid,
instead of being present to perform al.
truistic services in behalf of the whole
people of the state Sometimes we find
public-spirited citizens who are so eager
to see the best good done for their state
that they viii 60 to the legislature and
put in their services for the general
good rather than for special interests.
To differentiate between this very small
class and the multitudinous assemblage
OF hired workers for private interests,
the law which requires publicity of their
stewardship is very good indeed The
publishing OF their salaries and expenses
while at the legislature is incidental to
the scheme.

AUTOS CARRIED BY

The Associated Garage has an eX-

the Pierce-Arrow and the Hudson, and
week by week Manager Frank Howes
receives testimony of the increasing
popularity of each of the makes.
Irwin Spalding has just returned
from a trip around the island of Ha-
wall in his Hudson. He reports that
the machine went splendidly through
out, not a hitch having occurred to
mar the pleasure of the trip. He has
nothing but the highest praise to be-
stow on the car.
A. w. Van Valkenburg, of the B. F

completed a tour of the big island. He
too, has had the same experience as
Mr. Spalding had. Both Hudsons
stood the test admirably, but no signs
of wear to show for the hard usage
that they were put to.
Naturally the Hudsons are great
favorites with the automobile users
of the world, and the imports of them
into Hawaii are fairly heavy. They
are finding more friends each week,

MANAGER HOWES ON
THE 1911 CHALMERS CAR

During the past few days many
people in Honolulu and vicinity have
read the announcement of Chalme1s
cars for 1912. | have wondered how
many of those who have read about
and been interested in the 1912 Chal.
mers cars, appreciate all that must
happen before the hundreds of Chal-
mers dealers in all parts of the Coun-
try can be ready to make such an
announcement" says Frank E. Howes
local representative of the Chalmers
Motor Company,
'As a matter of fact, a score of
engineers, as many draughtsmen, and
forty or fifty expert mechanics began
work more than year ago on the
models for 1919. Since the first OF
November, 1910, the new models
which are now offered for the inspec.
ton of the public have been testel
by the experts of the Chalmers en-
cheering department, in all parts Of
the country-on hills, in sand, in mud
and in snow. All this work, extend
ing over months and requiring the
services of about $50 men, was merely
the preliminary work of giving the
public an ever-increasing motor value
in proportion to the money spent.
For months many of the manufac.
turing departments of the Chalmers
factory have been working on parts
for the 1919 cars. Since June l every
manufacturing department in this
vast plant, which occupies a site OF
thirty acres with 100000 square feet
of manufacturing floor space, has
been working full speed on the new
cars.
