WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
Timely Points about Vermont Roads
and the New Hampshire Plan.
(From the Rutland NewsD

Something is doing in New Hamp-
shire, In the way of making permanent
highways. An act appropriating 81, 600, 900
for three cross country state roads was
vetoed by Governor Fclker. Tho Gov
crnor, however, wanted an appropriation
to complete the three boulevards running
from south to north through the state.
and finally a bill became law which APP
propriatcs 5000, 900 for completing the
three existing boulevards and building a
new O across the State. The State
highway engineer estimates that it will
require $l95 200 to complete the three
b%oulevards existing, and that will leave
sos, 900 of the 10000 appropriation for the
new road. The work Of construction is
to he begun at once. The way to have
good highways is to construct them, and
New Hampshire IS showing us the way"

allows us to keep cool in more respects

SAVED A DOUGLAS.
Sir William Ramsay's Quick Wit at the
Battle of Poitiers.

In the battle Of Poitiers 1856 num-
Der of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side of the French, and several Of them
were taken prisoners by the English.
Among them was Sir Archibald Doug
las. Being dressed in suit of SPLENDID
armor, the victors thought they had
captured-as indeed they had-some
great nobleman. Several of the Eng
lish were about to strip off his armor
when Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie,
who was also prisoner, happening to
catch Sir Archibald's eye. gave him a
meaning look.
Pretending to be very angry, he cried
out: "You rascal, how is it that you are
wearing your masters armor? Come
here and pull off my bootsy' Douglas,
seemingly thoroughly cowed, went
humbly forward and drew off a boot,
with which Sir William began to beat
him. The English onlookers at once
interfered on Douglas behalf, saying
that he was person of great rank and
a lord
"Whatv' shouted Ramsay. "He a
lord! Why, he is base knave and, I
suppose, has slain his master. Go, you
villain, and search the field for the
body Of my cousin, your master, and
when you have found it let me know,
that I may give it decent burial"
All this was acted so naturally that
the English allowed Ramsay to ransom
the pretended manservant for 40 shil-
Sir William gave Douglas another
thrashing and then babe him begone.
Sir Archibald lost no time in effecting
his escape, which he owed solely to the
ingenuity of his friend.

Lord BaIfour of BurIeigh.


Lord BaIfour of BurIeiqh.
It would be hard to say which of
England's two houses of legislature
takes the cake' for committing howl
ers, and still more difficult to pick out
the member who has taken pride of
place in this respect during recent
years. But perhaps for simple effec-
tiveness Lord Balfour of Burleigh
would be hard to beat when he said,
''The noble lord shakes his head, and I
am glad to hear it!'
Another noble lord during a debate
on Indian affairs exclaimed: "Talk of
this as loan to India! It is a flea
bite in the ocean, Nevertheless it
stands to reason that the lower house
is more prolific in quantity, if not in
quality, in it's stock of howlers than
the upper, seeing that it~has so many
more opportunities.
Captain Craig, the fiery fisherman,
cooked the following oratorical stew:
''The naked sword is drawn for the
fight, and never again will the black
smoke of the Nationalists' tar barrels
drift on the home rule wind to darken
the hearts Of Englishmen.' If any
thing could kill home rule one would
think that would.
Sir w. Hart Dyke was criticising the
standing order forbidding peers from
speaking during general elections.
Some one had quoted Lord Halsbury
as doing so. and Sir William solemnly
said. II must admit that the honor
