The long legged South African sec
retary birds travel in pairs, male and
female. If disturbed or pursued their
pace is abotrt as fast as that of run
ming horse. They seldom use their
wings and If compelled to do so can
soar to considerable height. They
build bulky nests, and where trees are
to be had they select one fifty to a
hundred feet above the ground. Their
nests are built of sticks and sods, lined
with grass, and measure as much as
five feet in diameter and three feet in
thickness. AS rule only two eggs are
laid. Incubation takes six weeks.

young have to remain in their nests
several months before they can stand

The first session of the cd congress adj
journed Tuesday to the relief of the coun
try in general as well as the members OF
that famous body. Its main achievement
was the enactment of the Canadian reel
procty agreement although it also passed
a strict campaign publicity and restricted
expenditure act, admitted Arizona and New
Mexico to statehood, and provided for re-
apportionment on the basis of an enlarged
house membership. In summing up the
political aspect of the session the Spring
field Republican says:
1t has been altogether a confusing dig
turbing bushwhacking sesslon-a playing Tor
party position and issues in political war
to come rather than a gathering IN OF the
results of past conflicts. And tins was
fairly to have been expected. In this
play for party position the democrats
come out best of all, the president second
best and the insurgent republicans worst
of all: while the position of the republican
party as a whole can be found by striking
an average between the positions OF the
last two factors in this melting and re-
casting of parties. The democrats, in a
word, come out of the session more united
than when they entered 1t, while the re,
publicans are worse divided than ever If
the session has been unduly and exasperat-
ingly prolonged, it has not been the fault
Of the democrats Their house majority
worked, as rule, unitedly and expeditions
ly not only in support. of the president on
reciprocity but for their own particular
measures. They made the mistake of under
taking too much tariff revision within SO
narrow a time limit, and in their farmers
free-list bill they ran against all of their
own policies of tariff reform, both revenue
and reduction by way of free raw materials;
and their cotton and steel tariff bill bears
so clearly the marks of haste as to revive
among thoughtful people comewhat of the
old distrust Of the party, in dealing with
this great fiscal and industrial question.
But, on the whole, the democrats have
reason to be well satisfied with the situa-
ton as the session ends. They have man
aged to take help from the insurgent re-
publicans without being dominated by
them, and even as against the president
they have won the strong tactical advan-
tage of having moved along on his own de-
scTibed road of tariff reform further than
he found himself prepared to go at the
last moment In the wool-bill veto the
president lost ground both to the demo-
Gratis and insurgents. 1t will be heard
much of in next years campaign.

BRArTLEBoRo, FRIDAY, AUG. IS, 1911,
THE STATE AND THE RAILROADS.

Are the railroad controversies at Brattle'
boro and Burlington actually as difficult OF
solution as the public is being led to be
heye. or are they merely being kept up by
the Grand Trunk and New Haven systems
in preparation for another legislative strng
Gle a year from this fall? Is either road
actually anxious to spend any money IN
improvements in this state, or is 1t the
hope of each that control OF the next legs
lature viii give it sufficient advantage over
It's connection to solve the Vermont prob-
lens in a less expensive way? Evidently
the Burlington Free Press believes that
neither system has lost interest in Yer
mont politics, for it is already warning the
people of the state against railroad DONNA
ton lust as it did before the last legisla'
ture convened. According to the Free
Press "the railroads had begun two years
ago TO think about the governorshp OF
1912 and they know already who Will be
safe. and in many and many town can
Law their finger on the men they want IN
the next legislature The Burlington paper
further asserts that the railroad interests
have in mind gubematorial candidate
whose success would meet with their ap-
proval, and sagely adds that he does not
live in Washington or Windsor counties.
Just how ingenious are the motives OF
the Free Press in renewing this discussion
is perhaps a question, but in view OF the
demonstration of railroad influence at
Montpelier last winter there is no doubt
that the people OF the state should use eN'
IRENE care in selecting the men who are
to represent them at the session of 1917
Unless the Grand Trunk and New Haven
systems reach a settlement of their New
England struggle within a few months II
is not at all unlikely that these two cor
porations will be found fighting in Yer
mont again next fall, and in the event Of
such a fight the states interests will be
sure to suffer unless they are guarded by
alert. conscientious, intelligent legislators
Just at present the two roads are a.
loggerheads over the matter OF unloI

out last week, their positions are exactly
the reverse of those taken at Brattleboro
The same Grand Trunk engineers who las
winter ridiculed the plan of elevated tracks
and highway underpass at Brattlebor'
are now arguing strongly for exactly tina
kind of an arrangement at Burlington
while Rutland railroad attorneys are oppos
ing in Burlington a plan very similar t.
that which they advocated at Brattlebor'
in behalf of the Boston 4 Maine. OF cours'
there may be circumstances which lustlt!
this seeming inconsistency, but wlthou
knowledge OF them one cannot help harbor

Ancient Greeks Trades.

In the days of their greatest pros.
perity, the Greeks probably excelled all
other nations in the variety and excel
lence of their manufactures.
Their sons were often the great sci
entists of their age, for Thales of Mile;
tus, one of the "seven wise men of
antiquity" was an oil merchant; Soc
rates was stone mason, who, like Hugh
Miller, left the quarry and bench to
become the teacher of MOBILES; Aristotle
compounded drugs while trying to
posed by other tradesmen, artists. must
clans, architects and engineers. Plato
and Scion had callings as well as studies
and political activities. So. too, all
were soldiers, and few men. in Athens
failed to take their places in the pha-
lanx or galley, when Athens called. on
her sons to battle.-National Magazine.

Burglars broke into the postoffice at VIII
Jamestown at about o'clock Friday morn

shot up the town in wild west fashion
Revolver shots succeeded one another IN
rapid succession, awakening the whole WI
lape. The, residents were terrorlzed, THINK
ing from the commotion and noise that an
attack was being made on the town by a
band of bandits. George Mari, proprietor
of the Wilamstown Inn, which is next
door to the postotiice, heard the explosion
when the safe was blown open lie burned

door of the inn he was fired upon, me
bullet striking the door casing close beside
him, The burglars then whipped out thell
revolvers and fired number OF shots wlth
the apparent purpose of waking up the
toWnsfolk and giving them a big scare. In
this they were entirely successful. With
out waiting for the citizens to gather up
their courage and organize an army OF Oh
