BENNINGTON, VT, SEPT. &c, 1912.

The growing season in Vermont
now coming to a close, has been a
remarkable one in some respects.
The weather was cold and backward
in the early spring and there were on
ly few hot days during the summer.
AS a result crops matured slowly and
early in August the outlook was any
thing but encouraging. Corn had made
so little progress that the farmer, es-
pecially in the northern section OF the
state, who had any expectations OF
harvesting a crop was the exception.
The outlook for potatoes was not en-
couraging because of scanty rains.
Later in the month, however, there
was a period of warm, wet days in
which corn made amazing progress
and potatoes developed so well that
the prices quoted today are below the
average in recent years. In addition
to these conditions there has been the
lengthening of the season beyond the
normal period. Even in the northern
counties of the state, where killing
frosts are expected during the last
week in August or the first week in
September, corn is still ripening and
the prospects for crop are good.
While some seasons in Vermont are
better than others there are no blank
years sin this state as is frequently
the case in many Western sections

MARK TWAIN BESlEGED.
Absurd, Impudent, Touching Requests
Were Always Pouring In.

Were Always Pouring In.
Mark Twain paid for his celebrity In
the amount Of freak" mail received
by him, according to Albert Bigelow
Paine, his biographer, writing in Har-
per's Magazine.
"He was in constant state OF
SIEGE" says Mr.. Paine, "besought by
all varieties and conditions of human
ity for favors such as only human need
and abnormal ingenuity can invent
His ever increasing mail presented a
marvellous exhibition of the human
species on undress parade.
Young men wrote requesting verses
or sentiments TO be inscribed In young
ladies' autograph albums. Young girls
wrote asking him to write story OF
his life to be used as a school compost
ton. Men starting obscure papers
coolly invited him 10 lend them his
name as editor, ASSURE & him that he
would be put TO no trouble and that II
would help advertise his books. A fruit
full humerist wrote that he had Invent
ed some 5000 puns and invited Mark
Twain to father this terrible progeny
In book form for share Of the re-
turns. The list is endless. He said
once:
The symbol OF the race ought TO
be a human being carrying an ak, for
every human being has one concealed
about him somewhere and is always
seeking the opportunity to grind It.
Letters came queerly addressed.
There is one envelope still in existence
which bears Clemens name In eiabo-
rate design and very good silhouette
likeness. the work OF some talented
artist Mark Twain, United States
was common address. Mark Twain,
Somewhere, mailed in foreign coun-
try, reached him promptly, and Mark

Hartford In due season.

this was later: he was abroad at
the time) mailed by Brander Matthews
and Francis Wilson. addressed Mark
Twain. God Knows Where II found
him after travelling half around the
world on its errand In his answer
he said, lie did Then some one sent
him letter addressed The Devil

MEXICAN INSUFFICIENT IS WILLING TO REcEDE FROM SOME OF
 HIS DEMANDS.
Is Now Willing Tha. Madero Should Remain-Americsn 5eheaded
 by Mexiccns.

Dallas, Texas Aug. 15.-That Gen eral Pascual OrozcO, leader of the rev oiutionary forces in Mexico, is willing to cease hostilities and retire as a revomtionist against the Madero gov ernment, is the declaration of Dr. Hen ry Allen Tupper of Brooklyn, N r., representative of the international peace forum, who passed through Dal- las tonight on his way home from Jua- reg, Mexico. where he had several in teryiews with Orozco
 statements have been made here tofore that OroZco would never con sent to peace until Madero retired as president" Dr. Tupper said In his interviews with me, OroZco said he is very anxious for peace and will not in sist upon Maderos retirement. He said he will not make that an ultima tum but will insist on certain refor nations, such as the discontinuance of nepotism on the part of Madero"
 Dr. Tupper exhibited a personal let ter signed by Orozco in which the latter said he was "yehemently anX ious for peace" He also exhibited. but not for perusals a two-thousand Wolu stdteHlehl, Milh uupiiCdte NoPioS in Spanish and English, which he said set out the conditions upon which Orozco will agree to cease his reyo- lution. Dr. Tupper said the contents Of this statement may be given out for publication when he reaches the north.
 Tn this statement Orozco makes concessions which he has never be- fore made and believe they may be the basis for peace" Dr. Tupper said. This movement was entirely on my initiative and 1 wish to emphasize that President Taft, who is the hon orary president of the international peace forum, has not been consulted on the matter and will not be until next week, when | expect to be in Washington.

And now we have come entirely to the consciousness of the new day. There is not going to be any more nightmares. It is going to be daytime all the time and somebdy is going to be on the lookout all the time to see that this thing does not happen again, and what We are trying for in this campaign is merely this: Who of you how many of you, which of you have enlisted for the fight believe that it is going to be one of those general recruitments when you don't need to have recruiting officers.
