were the farmers. The price of but
ter went down to fifteen cents per
pound; eggs, poultry beef, hay, pota-
toes and other farm products decreas-
ed in proportion, and farms became
drug in the market
1t might be thought that this de-
crease in the Dice of farm produce
would have benefited the people in the
cities and villages, but such was not
the case. With their wages reduced
or cut off entirely their purchasing
power was taken away to such an ex-
tent that all suffered together.
This was, in brief, the history of
the depression of 1895 and 1896, and
this history was but a repetition of
conditions in 1856 and 1857, when a
stellar Democratic tariff act Temporal
rily paralyzed the industrial interests
of the country. There are men now
living in the town of Bennington who
remember the depression of 1857, and
how it closed up practically all the
manufacturing establishments in this
town and section.
The Democratic theories as to the
tariff are based on principles that
have three times proved erroneous
when applied to the United States. Do
we want to risk a fourth trial? A
vote for Wilson on November 5th is a
vote TO try this doctrine of disaster
once more.

Just Like Old Caesar Did

When Caesar took an eastward ride
and grabbed the Gauls of Rome,
What was the first thing that he did
to make them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples loads and
liberty forbid,
No. he dug in and built good roads
That's what Old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon the
foeman's breast,
Or did he try to make them feel the
Romans rule was best?
What did he do to make them glad,
He'd come their midst amid?
He built good roads in place of bad,
That's what Old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill to hill,
Good roads from vale to vale;
He ran good roads movement till
Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home,
Build roads their hills amid,
Until all roads led up to Rome
That's what Old Caesar did.
If any man would make the town the
center of the map.
Where folks will come and settle
down and live in plenty's lap,
II any town its own abodes of poverty
would rid.
Let it get out and build good roads
Just like Old Caesar did.

THE GOBLIN FRlAR."
One Of the Specters That Are Said to
Haunt Newstead Abbey.


Newstead abbey, the home of Lord
Byron, has the reputation Of being
haunted by more than one specter,
and many curious noises and strange
sights have been heard and seen by
residents and visitors there But the
best known and most noted specter
connected with the place and immortal
lied in Byron verse is the Goblin
Friar." The particular chamber which
this specter is supposed especially to
frequent and which is known par
excellence as the haunted chamber"
adjolns Byron's bedroom. Lord Byron
and many others not only believed In
the existence of the Black Friar, but
asserted that they had really seen it.
1t did not confine its visitations, how
ever, to the haunted chamber" but
at night walked the cloisters and other
portions Of the abbey.
A monk arrayed
In cowl and beads and dusky garb APP

With steps that trod as heavy, yet I'M

Lord Byron fully believed that he be-
held this apparition a short time be-
fore the greatest misfortune Of his
life. his Ill starred union with Miss
Millbanke. Abiding to his belief in
these things, he said:

HAYDN AND THE ROD.
When the Budding Composer Was
Floaaed by Royal Command.

An amusing incident of the healthy
boyhood Of the great composer, Jo-
seph Haydn, is given by Mary Maxwell
Moffat in her biography Of the Aus
TRAN empress. Maria Theresa.
When Won Reuter- became choirmas-
ter Of St Stephens cathedral he had
Joseph Haydn among his pupils.
During a visit to the Hungarian
Prince Esterhazy, in 1913, Maria The
resa took occasion to say word Of
praise TO Haydn. who had composed
the music of the opera given in her
honor and had conducted the perform
ance. She expressed the conviction
that she had seen him before, although
she could not remember the occasion.
The last time your majesty was
pleased TO take notice OF me-" said
Haydn, you ordered ne good thrash
ing"
THAT does not sound like me-" re
Joined the empress, How did it hap
penn
Then Haydn told OF a Whitsuntide
when, with other pupils OF Won Reuter-,
he had been brought to Schoenbrunn to
sing in the chapel. Between the serv-
ices the boys took to clambering over
the scaffolding Of the new wings Of the
palace. The empress caught sight of
them and sent word forbidding the
dangerous sport. But the attraction
Of the scaffolding was irresistible. On
the following day the boys were again
risking their necks. When Maria
Theresa expostulated with Won Reut-
ter his surmlse that the ringleader was
that young scamp, Joseph Hadyn,
led her to suggest that the rod be usec
TO improve his memory.

speech.
Col. Roosevelt began to speak in a
finn voice, somewhat lower than its
usual tone and except that his charac-
teristic gestures were less emphatic
than usual, there was nothing about
the man to indicate his condition. After
he had been speaking few moments,
however, his voice sank somewhat,
and he seemed to stand rather un-
steadily. His physician stepped up to
him and insisted that he stop.
I'm going TO finish this speech"
said the colonel emphatically. I'm
all right; let me alone" The colonel
continued his speech, evidently with
increasing effort, but he succeeded in
making himself heard and talked for
more than an hour. Then he was
rushed to his automobile and flashed
through the streets TO the emergency

declaring that amy man looking for a
