Vermont Keeps Bennington Dav.

5 Montpelier, Vt, Aug. .16.-In ac-
cordance with custom Vermont today
observed the 135th anniversary of
the battle of Bennington as a legal
holiday. Flags were raised at many
points, and as "a rule the banks and
all public Offices remained closed.
The battle Of Bennington, though
comparatively small as regards the
number of it's participants, was one
of the most important conflicts of
the revolution so far as results are
concerned. The battle is generally
recognized by historians as the turn
ing point of the war. It was the first
time In history that raw militia had.
contended successfully against in
trenched regular troops. It made the
victory of Saratoga possible, which
in turn encouraged France to recog-
nize the independence of the Ameri
can colonies. r.

muster the: two-thirds vote necessary
to It's passage by the senate and The
measure will fail to become law, but
the effort will be made and another
surprise may be furnished by some Of
the regulars Of that body.
There is no special reason to doubt
that the country, if the matter were
submitted to its vote, would approve
the reduction of wool duties made in
the bill. The present rates are adj
mittedly excessive, and there is not
enough difference between the reduc-
5tions of the bill and those recon-
mended by the tariff board, to war
rant the belief by the people general
ly that the president was right in
fearing disaster to the growing and
weaving industries.
At least there is the doubtsand the
temper of the people at this time is
such as to prompt them qto give them
selves the benefit of all doubt. They
have been overtaxed for their wooden
goods for years and have been COM
PEELED to submit and as the proposed
reductions would have cheapened
their fabrics, they might be expected
to welcome the reduced cost without
being over-disturbed by fears of in
dustrial damage which is only pre-
dicted, not demonstrated.

CHEER OF THE Old HOME
Something Which Every Man and
Woman Should Pc Able to Look
Back Upon. s$

It would be q blessing if we parents
could Just reflect that It may be that
the only cheer In life which our chill
dren will get is the cheer Of the old
home, writes Frank w. Gunsaulus.
They are hurying out into the world
which has no time to make them
happy. Il they. are fortunate, as the
world says, they will probably have
homes, where old-fashioned and romp.
ing cheerfulness would skin its shins
against the furniture or. break the
Louis XIV. cha.-. Blessed old days,
and most wholesome to look back
upon, are those when the hearty laugh
Of father would not split, the lace cur.
tains, and when mother could have
two big, healthy children upon her
lap while she was sitting down, with
safety to all parties, In her rocker. No
coin on earth costs SO little to mint
and goes SO far in paying life's heavy
expenses as Good Cheer. Pessimists
are made before children are ten
years OF age, and pessimism comes
when child cannot turn a golden
laugh into ready cash for life's poverty
and its relief. We talk about the cru
city OF fathers depriving a child
Of sufficient clothing. It is too bad;
but q chfld's toes would better be
ruddy and his ears tingle with cold
than to have home with winter in
the atmosphere and the smiles all
freezing to death.
No child is prepared for the su-
premely serious things Of life who
cannot laugh away all the goblins and
ghosts and break with the shining
wand Of Good Cheer the circle drawn
around him by any giant.

Wilson is Seventy-Seven Years.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 16.-sec-
retary Wilson, head of the depart
ment of agriculture, reached his sew
enty-seventh birthday anniversary
today. Time has dealt leniently with
the secretary, who apparently is as
vigorous as the average man of fifty.
No other executive officer in the gov
ernment service in WASHINGTON. has
anything on "Farmer Jim" when it
comes to putting in a full day of
eight or ten hours at the desk. Mr..
Wilson is native of Scotland, which
fact, so his friends laughingly assert,
accounts for his ability to hold his
Job longer than any other cabinet
officer in the history of the country.
He was appointed secretary of agri-
culture by President Mckinley in
1897 and has served continuously
ever since.

the young graduates. "Since they
have undertaken to uplift the world
through the medium of the washtub
I haven't had a stitch of clothes fit

"That is because they are trying to
teach my laundress how to wash and
