following this question is devoted al

it. Whether the question has been an

matters which must be left to the judg

facts stand out SO clearly that they

THE ABILITY TO KEEP AFLoAT.

The ability to swim is one of the
best requirements that the human be-
ing can make, because of the fact that
he may be at any time placed an a POSI-
ton in which the ability may be put
to practical use. Recognition of this
fact has caused great impetus in re-
cent wears to the desire for that ability
and more and more attention is being
pa6d to instruction in the first move
ments of the sport. Colleges and Y. M.
G. A. and club rooms are installing swim
ming tanks and engaging instructors;
public lighthouses in the larger cities
now have their teachers in swimming
and almost countless youngsters are find
ing out how to paddle about alone even
though the depth of the water be many

where all may try their strength ana

the greatest strides are being made by
the long distance swimmers, who are
all but conqueIing the ocean itself.

tonian, who SWAIN from the Charles

It is the same Richards who on Sunday
undertook to swim from the Battery in
New York to Sandy Hook and accom-
phshed the feat in splendid shape, even
going so far as to start on the return
trip of 25 miles. 1t was wonderful
performance and it serves to take away
much of the terror of the water to the
timid persons, to whom just the sight of
the depths is enough to frighten. The
knowledge of how to swim win be spread
through the heartening of those appre

but not so full Of dangers as one might

Maeterlinek's Strange Story.

In this connection, may be permitted
to quote a personal experienced One
evening at the Abbaye de Saint Wand
rifle, where / am wont TO spend my
summers, some newly arrived guests
were amusing themselves by making q
small table spin on its foot. / was quiet
ly smoking in a corner of the drawing
room, at some distance from the little
table, taking no interest in what was
happening around it, and thinking OF
something quite different. After due en-
treaty the table replied that it held the
spirit of seventh century monk who
was buried in the east gallery of the
closters under fagstone dated 1888
After the departure of the monk, who
suddenly, for no apparent reason, re-
fused to continue the interview, we
thought that we would go with a lamp
and look for the grave. We ended by
discovering in the far cloister, ON the
eastern side, tombstone in very bad
condition, broken, worn down, trodden
into the ground, and crumbling, on which
by examining it very closely, we were
able with great difficulty to decipher the
inscription "a. ID. 1898" Now, at the
moment of the monks reply there was
no one in the drawing room except my
guests and myself. None of them knew
the abbey; they had arrived that very
evening few minutes before dinner,
after which, as it was quite dark, they
had put off their visit to the cloisters
and the ruins until the following day.
Therefore, short of belief in the
"shells" or the "elementals" of the the
osophists, the revelation could have come
only from me. Nevertheless, | believed
myself to be absolutely ignorant of the
existence of that particular tombstone,
one of the least legible among score
of others, all belonging to the seven
teenth century, which pave this part of
the cloisters.-By Maurice Maeterlinek

SHOWING VERMONT CORRECTLY.

The state of Vermont publicity bu-
reau has brought together an impress
sive collection of arguments in favor of
investment of money in Vermont farm
land in a booklet which is called Yer
mont Farms The booklet purports to
give "some facts and figures concern
ing the agricultural resources and OPP
portunities of the Green Mountain
state" and after reading the text mat
ter one is forced to admit that the com
piler of the collection of facts had some
very good material with which to work
Vermont is a fertile field for farming
operations. That is shown by the sta
tistics which the publicity bureau has
presented to the public, revealing that
the state stands well to the top in
production per acre of many of the sta
pie products of the land and in some
being exceeded by no states.
But what is equally as important as
the fertility of the soil is the ability
TO market the products within reason
able time and expense. There again does
Vermont stand we'll to the front. Per-
haps Vermont has the best market for
it's products, being closely situated to
two of the greatest cities of the east
ern section of the United States and
to list of suburban cities which are
but little smaller than the city of Bos-
ton, one of the chief markets. The
market takes care of all that Vermont
produces, and can produce, even though

be utilized for the purpose of produc-

Per capita, per farm, per square mile

butter than any other state in the union.
Vermont leads the world in the pro-

Vermont has an auto for every

Vermont contributed ten out of every
hundred of her population to the Union
army, suffered higher percentage of
men killed in action than any other
state and never surrendered flag in
battle.
Vermont sent regiment to the Span

ton. This nearness to the great mar
kets is emphasized by the compilers
OF the little booklet and is a powerful
argument.
Another point of almost as great i'm
portance is the fact that Vermont farms
can be secured at a comparatively small
cost, excepting, of course, the great
farms which have been brought to a
high degree of productivity and which
already are bringing to their owners a
large revenue. The smaller farms,
many of them abandoned so far as reg
ular cultivation is concerned, can be
bought at reasonable prices, as set forth
in the publicity book. In short, the ad-
yantages of agricultural pursuits an Yer
mont are so well revealed in Vermont

distribution throughout the United
States and Canada, even further afield
perhaps, in those European countries,
where agriculture is carried on to a
great extent.

CURRENT COMMENT
The McDonough Celebration.

As the centennial observation of Per-
rvs victory closes, preparations for com
memorating the one hundredth annivers-
airy of another American triumph on
the lakes are beginning. The State of
Vermont has not forgotten the great
services rendered the United States by
Commodore Marlborough, at Plattsburg,
Sept. IL, 1914, when he defeated and
captured the British fleet which was in
tended to support and cover the inyad
ing army. The battle was fought al
most in sight of the Vermont shore and
the vessels which Marlborough command
ed were Vermont built. His shipyard
was on Otter Creek, at Vergennes. On
site vet to be selected a monument
concentrating the construction of the
fleet will be dedicated next autumn,
presumably on the anniversary Of the
battle. Vergennes will provide the site
and pay the incidental expenses of the
celebration, the State of Vermont con-
tributing $4,000 for the cost of the mon
ument or memorial. Macdonough's name
does not bulk as large as it ought to in
popular appreciation of naval heroes. He
fought a good fight most scientifically,
and he fooled most formidable inva
sion. His was decisive victory, which
compelled Great Britain to abandon its
extensive and expensive plans for oper-
ating against New York and New Eng
land.-Boston Transcript.

/ never shall be missed

Senatorial Gossip.

Senator William p. Dillingham's term
in the United States Senate will expire
March 3, 1913. Already much interest
is being taken around the state in the
question of who shall be Senator Dill
lingham's successor; whether it shall be
himself or someone else. Up to date
there has been a somewhat generous nib
bling at the question by a part of the
state press. Senator Dillingham; will
not be without support if he seeks to
return to Washington. And, on the 9th
er hand, it would not be surprising if
he should meet with some strenuous OPP
position, an event certain happenings
transpired.
Senator Dillingham; will have to be
elected by the people, the power of cleo
ton by the legislature having been TAX
en- away by an amendment to the fed
eral constitution. BY some it is thought
that this would weaken the senator's
chance of succeeding himself in case ne
were opposed. This would be true If
Mr.. Dillingham; has lost his touch with
the people On the other hand, if this
course in Congress has been such as to
appeal to the popular fancy, he will
not suffer from the change in the cleo
tion law.
Something has been said as to who
Senator Dillingham's opponents might
be. There is a feeling of expectancy
in some quarters that Governor Fletcher
will not be adverse to serving the state
at the national capitol. The governor
has not announced himself as a candi-
date, nor is it known that he has an
nouneed that he would not be in the
field. The impression is that he has
been testing the ice and is now playing
a waiting game ready to take advan-
tage of circumstances if they appear
to be shaping themselves in his favor.
1t is thought that the candidacy of one
man, with whom the governor had to
contend in a former campaign for nomi-
nation, would have the effect of driving
him into the open, but that man has not
signifed any intention of entering the
lists.
The name of Charles A. Prouty, at
present member of the interstate com
merce commits sion, has been prominently
mentioned as possible candidate
against any man in the state, irrespec-
tive of who or what he was Mr.. Proutv
is admittedly one OF the big men of
the country. He has been doing big
things in big way for many years.
One does not have to swear allegiance
to any individual to say that were the
people to determine ON change they
would make no mistake in turning to
Mr.. Prouty.-St Adams Messenger.
