THE child lost her balance and
pitched from a window A few feet
down she struck a clothesline which
supported her weight for an instant
and then broke. Six times in her
fall, the child struck a network OF
clotheslines and when she struck the
last of them there was only a drop
OF eight feet to the pavement in the
court"
The above paragraph tells how a
six year old girl fell from a siXstory
window with no greater injury than
a broken leg. Plainly she was not
born to be killed that way.-Rutand
News.
After the Bennington battle monu-
ment had been completed and while
the stagings were still standing, a
young man fell from the top OF the
monument, SO4 feet from the ground
and landed on pile of rough stone
and lumber at the base of the mon
ument without being seriously injur-
ed. AS he fell, he broke through the
successive board stagings and each
broke his fall sufficiently to save
his life The Mortified onlookers
were astonished to see the young
man get up without assistance,
though his hurts turned out TO be
considerable. The young mans
name was Frank Nolan, and he still
lives to tell the story.

The majority of the committee had

Wherever the Canadian reciprocity
agreement made an impression on
the American farmers, the president
has suffered in his campaign for
denomination. 1t is not surprising to
hear that, in Ohio, the districts
where the farm population predomi-
mates are considered the most men
acing to the presidents chances OF
success. The fact that in Maryland,
Mr. Taft did best outside of Balti-
more, can be explained on the
ground that Maryland farmers were
not much interested in the reciproc-
ity issue All along the northern
boundary of the United States, how
ever, reciprocity with Canada has
had an influence upon the struggle
for delegates, and the president has
suffered in this way for what was,
probably, the most statesmanlike act
of his administration. Mr.. Roose-
welt is profiting by the feeling
against the president in those agri-
cultural districts, although, in his
letter to President Taft, he declared
that he was unqualifedly in favor
of complete free trade with Canada
Springfield Republican.
The trouble with the alleged reci-
procity act that was put to sleep last
fall was that it did not go far enough
in opening up free trade with Can
ada, but provided free trade in farm
products, while still protecting the
beef trust and other business inter
esis. At least that was the belief
of the farmers. However. it is more
than likely that the Taft supporters
in this campaign overestimate the
importance and effect of the recipro-
city treaty Massachusetts was
strongly for reciprocity, but Taft was
only able to split the vote about in
half after a most intensive campaign.
More than that, the sections of Mass
achusetts that gave Taft his strong
est support were the counties where
there are most farmers. Roose-
velt's strength in his campaign
against Taft does not hinge on reci-
procity to any considerable extent,
but in his power to convince the
rank and file Of the voters that the
right is on his side Whether favor
ing or opposing Col Roosevelt, one
has to admit that he has the ability
to sway the popular mind and is en-
dowed with qualities Of leadership
that arouse enthusiasm and attract
support. In these particulars, Pres
ident Taft with all his fine qualities,
is no match for the ex.president This
Qaulity OF being able to enthuse the
mass Of the people gives Roosevelt
tremendous advantage on the
stump and one which the Taft lead
ers and the Taft newspapers do not
seem to realize fully.

Self Development

A town is in some ways like a
person. If it amounts to anything,
it must be largely selfmade. The
town that drifts, like the person that
drifts, or the ship that drifts, is not
likely to come to the right harbor.
If prosperity is the haven desired, 1t
will not be reached without determi-
nation and self-guidance This tru-
ism has been applied to human con
duct so often as to become common
place and would not be repeated here
except to emphasize the fact that 1t
applies to communities quite as much
as to individuals.
A town is a problem like a child. II
should not be left to grow up by it.
self. It's destiny should be guided by
the wisdom of its elders. There is
no lack of elders in any town who
have opinions as to what is wrong
with it, They are to be found at the
grocery store, the cigar store and
every common meeting place. II
these wiseacres would exercise their
perspicacity in figuring out what
would be good foT the town, and then
would all pull together in trying to
bring that good about, the result
would be such a matter of local pride
that nobody would want to talk about
anything else. The destiny OF a
community, like that of an individu.
al, can be controlled; the possibili-
ties of development and improvement
are almost unlimited; and 1t is not
only wisdom but money in the pocket
for citizens to take their town in
hand and try to make it amount to
something Falls Times.

BANDITS GOT 100000
Thirty Bundles Of Money aken
from Train in Mississippi

New Orleans, May 16.-The two
masked robbers who held up Queen
G. Crescent Railroad express tram
near Hattiesburg, Miss, yesterday
got about 100000, according to the
best information obtainable here 10
day.
IL is positively known that from
the safe which was blown open the
bandits got more than 80 packages
of currency. one of which contained
in excess of $4,000.
One package OF currency contain
ed $4,000 according to an express
messenger.
Officials of the Southern Express
company deny the report that one
package contained $4,000. Never
theless. general belief is that the
bandits total loot exceeded S2O0,OO0
Railroad and express officials have
given orders to spare no expense In
running down the robbers. The de
tectives are of the opinion that the
robbery was the work of professional
bandits and members Of the gang
which has been operating in the
South for several months.
Notwithstanding that the express
car was not detached from the train
and that every passenger was awak
ened by the series Of explosions, not
one of them made any effort 10 stop
the robbers operations. The con
ductor and baggagemaster are said
to have run through the train beg
ging for a revolver but none could
be found. A Mississippi National
guardsman, with an army rifle was
on the train but in the excitement he
forgot his weapon

W. h. Cook. superintendent Of
schools, in Poultney publishes a no
tice in a recent issue of the Poultney
Journal which by reason of its gen
eral applicability TO every commun-
ity may we'll be reprinted here
wish to say to the parents Of pu-
pills in our schools particularly TO
those in the seventh and eighth
grades, that the teachers in these
grades inform me that there are
quite a number who will not pass in
to the next grade, simply and solely
because the pupils will not perform
the work the teachers assign them,
especially the home study period.
These pupils instead of spending suit
able time in this preparation, walk
the streets or idle their time away
Now if the parents of these children
expect them to pass their grade work
they should see the teachers and find
out what they require of the pupils.
If they do not do this, they can only
blame themselves, if their children
remain another year in their present
grade
w. H. Cook,
Supt. of Schools
1t seems to us that Mr. Cook has
the right idea in publicly calling the
attention of the parents to the fact
that they really have children in
schools, who are not doing the work
assigned them.
Now if the teachers who told Mr.
Cook about the situation will make
it a point to see the parents or notify
them by letter, or see to it that the
parents in fact get the report cards
which are forwarded to them, the
teachers will have done their part,
the superintendent has done his part,
and the child and the parents can
blame no one for another years so
iourn in the same grade.-Northfeld
