THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL ENTRY.

THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL ENTRY
Briefly stated Alexander Dunnett's
platform in running for Congress, as
elucidated in his statement to the vot-
ers of the second district, is protec-
tive tariff and the adoption of a mill
tary system somewhat modelled after the
systems now in vogue in Europe. In
resiening his Office as United States dis
trict attorney in order to run for the
Office, Mr.. Dunnott has shown com
mendable spirit much in variance with
that which has been shown by some can
didates in Vermont--a disposition to
hang onto what they have while at the
same time grasping for something more.
The utterly selfish spirit is thus elm.
mated from his campaign. The Times
expects, too, that, true to his Unknown
practices, Mr.. Dunnett will conduct a
clean, above board contest with John w.
Gordon OF Barre and Porter H. Dale of
Island Pond, the two avowed candidates
previously in the field, and will be con
tent to let the Republicans of the dis
triet choose among them and others if
by chance there should be others to en-
ter the lists We assume in this con
nection that Mr.. Dunnett seeks the Re-
publican nomination, although his APP
peal as published in to-day's paper is
addressed TO the voters of the second
congressional district.

these forays an aged physician. DR..
William Beapes OF Upper Marlbor-
ough. Maryland, had arrested some
British soldiers for wanton destruc-

and held a prisoner upon the prison
ship Minden.
Doctor Beanes was a close friend of
the Key family, and to effect his re-
lease Francis Scott Key, under flag
of truce, made his way to the British
admiral. He was courteously received
and accomplished his purpose, but
neither he nor Doctor Beanes was al

just at this time the bombardment of

UNABLE TO SEE THE JOKE
Pat's Witticism Easy to Perceive, but
1t Made No Appeal at All to tho
Doctor.

Dosem, an old village quack, found
the calls and fees did not come fast
enough to please him, so he added an
apothecary shop to his business for
the sale of drugs and medicines.
He had great sign painted to at
tract the wondering eyes of the vii
layers, and the doctor loved to stand
in front Of his shop and explain its
beauties to the gaping beholders.
One Of these was an Irishman, who
gazed for a while with comical look,
and then exclaimed:
"Och and by the powers, doctor, If
1t isn't fine. But there's something q
little bit wanting in It,"
And what, pray, is that?" asked the
doctor.
why, ye see," said Pat, you've
got a beautiful sheet of wather here,
and not bit of bird swimming
in It."
Aye, yes" replied the doctor.
that's good idea. I'll have a couple
of swans painted there. Wouldn't
they be fine?"
Faith, and I don't know but they
would" said Pat; but I'm after think.
ing there's another kind of bird that
would be more appropriate.
And what is it?" asked the doc
tor.
why, | can't exactly think Of his
name jist now, but he's one of them
kinds of birds that when he sings he
cries, 'Quack. quack, quack, quack! y

tor was Pat running for dear life, and
