More Trouble.

O Uncle Sam; o Uncle Sam,
Your troubles sure are coming fast,
And this brand fate is handing out
Has all the marks tits made to last
The Powers big across the pond
Are telling what you ought to dc
About the row in Mexico
They're after you they're after you
With weary eye and tired, slow voice,
You sing to their insistent plea
That ditty of pathetic kind,
II Think ! Hear Them Calling Mel
To pacify that turbulence
In Mexico, they think their due,
The trouble, yours; the profit, theirs;
They're after you-they're after youl
The border gave you labor sore:
The victims there implore your aid I;
Americans within that land
For succor from their rashness prayed /;
This continent proved far too small;
So Europe joined the trouble crew,
The Powers in the chorus mix
They're after you-they're afte. you!

CURRENT COMMENT
The Importance of 1t.

The Progressive party is disintegrating
from one end of the country to tho
sther. Nothing can give it new CO.
herence except a conspicuous victory in
Massachusetts in November. If the
word should then go out through the
West that Charles S. Bird, Progressive,
had been elected governor of Massachu-
sets, the national situation, as the con-
gressional battle approached, would be
radically changed. For him to run ahead
of the Republican candidate would be
nearly as disastrous. And there is no
disputing the personal merit and at
Effectiveness of Mr.. Bird
The Republicans should strive, for its
erect on the national situation, to pre-
went Mr.. Bird from outrunning its own
candidate. That is one duty surely in
cumbent on the historic old party here
and OF its leaders The eyes of the ma
ttpn viii be on the old Bay state. Ours
win be the first significant return to
come in after the presidential battle.
Unless the Progressives make a distinct
revival here, their end as party will be
plainly decreed And to shape the con-
test so that this result will at least
emerge from it, whatever else happens,
Is pre-eminently desirable. Think it

us that the only merchant in the town
was Norman Mattison. Further informa-
ton of interest is afforded in the state
ment that at the most recent town meet
ing toal of six votes were cast on the
local option liquor question, two being
in favor of granting licenses and fouI
being cast against granting licenses. We
also notice that there are a few other
Offices in the town of Glastonbury which
were left to be filed by some others OF
the % people living there at the time OF
the last census; but other sources of in
formation state that the late Mr.. Mat
tison had held every Office in the town
and some of them many times over even
to more than score of years.
The above facts we mention at this
time, not so much to furnish great
deal of wonderment to people not ae-
quainted with conditions in few OF
the back towns of Vermont but rather
to accentuate a fact which has been
painfully apparent to many people of
Vermont for years, viz, that 81 BAL acres
of scenery in Bennington county have
as much representation in the state leg
stature as the cities of Vermont which
run into the many thousands OF popu-
lation.

HARD FACTS AGAIN REVEALED.

1t is a real blow in more than on,
sense when the town of Glastonbury in
Bennington county loses one of its resi-
dents like the late Norman L. Mattison
because, in addition to being state sen.
ator and one of the most prominent of:
fee holders, Mr.. Mattison was one-thir-
tieth of the entire population of the
town. Even in a state of such sparse
population as Vermont it is odd enough
that there should be town of only %
people-men, women and children-ac-
cording to the United States census OF
1910; yet, in Bennington county there
are p ,34l acres OF land which are oc-
cupied now by % persons provided there
have been no other deaths since 1910
who keep up a town organization; hold
their annual town meeting and elect
their town officers and levy their annual
taxes. The late Mr.. Mattisan was un-
doubtedly the most prominent figure in
the midst of the 27 ,34l acres because
we read in the most recent Walton's
Vermont Register that, besides being a
state senator from Bennington county,
he held offices of town clerk, the treas
urer being Lydia A. Mattison tperhaps
his wife,; constable, town lister, town
agent, town grand juror, justice of the
peace and what other minor offices does
not appear. The Register also informs

carefully examined him, after which he

ONE REAL CONTEST
Marked Grand Circuit Racing at Detroit
Yesterday.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 1.-THE only real
contest at the opening of the grand cir
cult meet at the state fair grounds yes
terday was in the board of commerce
stake for 2:l6 PAGERS, which went five
heats before Margot Hal was returned a
winner. Dillon Axworthy won the trot-
ting division OF the Matron stroke, Title
Upton the pacing dvison, and Lord Dew
ey the 2:l5 trot, all in straight heats.
Dillon Axworthy was by far the best
among the ten starters in the Matron
trotting section and won the two heats
with ease. The pacing section, with
three starters, was merely procession
from start to finish in both heats. Lord
Dewey had everything in the 2;l5 trot,
taking three heats as he pleased
Del Rey looked like the winnrT of the
first heat of the board of commerce
stake, but he finally went into the air
and finished fourth, Black Badge going
first under the wire
Del Rey did little better in the second
heat and was drawn at its conclusion.
Holly Brand led all the way in the sec
ond and third heats. Holly Brand and
Margot raced like team a dozen
lengths ahead of the field in the fourth
heat, until the stretch, when Hal forced
ahead and won by four lengths. In the
final round, Margot was a block ahead

FAST SWIMMING.
Strokes to Use and Methods to Follow
to Acquire Speed.

/
The general rule may be set down
| that no swimmer should attempt
speeding--and / mean In practice as
well as In racing--undl he can cover
a quarter of mile with a good stroke.
1t matters not whether one aims at
becoming an all around competitor or
specialist at the sprints, the same
rule obtains. Once the stroke has
been perfected, the chosen events may
be taken up. but even then 1t is the
best policy to alternate fast swimming
with easy stretches, at moderate pace.
under the watchful eye of the coach.
1t is always advisable to limit the
number OF time trials.
There are but two strokes which can
be recommended to the racing man for
free style swimming, the crawl for dis
tances not exceeding 900 yards and
both the crawl and the trudgeon for
longer journeys. Some question is
still in the mind OF many as to which
Is preferable for the latter events, but
In the writer's opinion-based upon
the teachings of the past-any set of
movements which affords best results
at the furlong will also prove best at
the longer courses after the swimmer
has accustomed his muscles to the
action by constant practice.-Out

You may have read a dozen stories
about misers and other folks who mis-
trusted banks and kept their money in
the house TO lose it at the hands OF
robbers. but you have never read OF
Aunt Hannah Day. though she was
just that sort OF person. She was 8
widow and had passed the middle age
and had a little farm near village
where she lived and hired a man to
work It.
Aunt Hannah wasn't mfser, though
she was known to be stingy and to be
suspicious of every one that came
along. Her first thought toward a
stranger was to ask herself IL he was
after the money. for she kept money
In the house. While her husband was
still alive bank had failed on them,
and they had lost $1,000 From that
date on the woman had looked upon
every banker as a robber.
In one way and another Aunt Han
nah had got together $4,000 in gold.
She had buried 1t down in the cellar
in a fruit jar. but she didn't believe
she would ever receive visit from
robbers. When people warned her that
she was running a great risk she re-
piled:
'Oh, la. la, If robbers ever should
come I'll make 'em cup of ginger tea
and ask them to please go along and
not bother an old woman. Robbers
have mothers as well as other folks,
and when they see my gray hair and
wrinkled face they'll think of their
own mothers and not harm me-"
One day there came toiling up the
long hill on whose crest stood Aunt
Hannah's rather gloomy house a boy
about fourteen years old. He was rag
ged and hungry. He was a city waif
who had left the city behind and was
tramping. He saw Aunt Hannah in
her cucumber patch and opened the
gate.
well, bub?" she queried in her brisk
way.
II want to live with you for awhile"
was the reply,
But you have a lazy look about
you"
Gimme something to do and see
how I'll make the dirt fly"
After few more questions and an
swers he was given a slice of bread
and butter and set to work.
Aunt Hannah had always figured
that If robbers came it would be at
midnight and that there would be
three of them and each wearing a
black mask. She had written down
and then committed to memory the
very first words she was going to
speak when she found them bending
over her bed and flashing the light
from a dark lantern in her eyes.
Jack had a bed in the garrett, which
was not a bad sort of place, while
Aunt Hannah had a bedroom on the
first floor. The tired boy was always
in bed at s o'clock, but the woman
waited an hour longer before winding
the clock and retiring. One evening
at half past s. as she sat sewing. the
door opened and two men entered.
No masks. No dark lantern. They
didn't look a bit like robbers.
Madam" said one, and he smiled
when he said 1t. we have come FOR
that money"

last: but. alas for her. her program
had been all knocked out. 49, She was

THE utter inadequacy of the so-called
outside fire escapes has again been trag'
cally demonstrated" asserts the New
York state factory investigating COM
mission on the Binghamton fire, which
cost 32 lives. And yet, the commission
probably would not recommend the re-
moval of the fire escapes, for the out
side stairways are good as far as they
go. The trouble at the Binghamton
overall factory seems to have been that
there We're not enough of the fire escapes
scattered over various parts of the four
story structure. The outside fire es-
cape has proved its adequacy time after
time in allowing large number of peo-
pie to flee from flames and it is not
to be discarded until some other more
efficient means shall have been invented.
However, it cannot do the whole work
when other conditions about crowded
factories are not reasonable.
