1t is rather unusual that little town
in Vermont should furnish two young
men to profit by the educational scheme
of Cecil Rhodes, and within few years,
too, and it is decidedly more unusual that

be furnished by single family. 1t is a

AGNES (McLAREN) GooZEY
Green were thy fields, fair Riverside,
Sunlit, thy vine-clad slopes
When we, group of merry maids,
We're gatherers of hops
In that brief, fast fleeing season
| (Fraught with pleasure and with pain)
Which marks VACATIONS ending
Fer school days return again.
Long years have passed since then,
yet now,
When autumn days draw near,
Memory watts to me faint echoes
OF those girlish voices, clear;
Sends glimpses too OF matrons brisk
And light of heart though staid
For not 'unchapreoned' was She
The fair, hop gathering maid.
1t brings to me the welcoming smile,
The kindly greeting, low,
OF that staunch friend Tor foe so grim)
The ''Sage of Battle Row
| hear again the sprightly youth
Who mockingly cajoles
And banters his companions
While they pull long rows of poles
Poles closely trimmed with clinging
vines,
And bear them to the box
Where the nimblt fingered gatherers
Deity stripped the ripened hops;
For each box, that in the morning
Seemed so empty, long and deep,
AT night should brim with gathered hops,
A rounded. rusting heap.
The clear, bright days, the bracing air,
The hOp-vines. balmy breath
A hrOuUlt honory tbrono
But it baffled not the Chef,
For, efficient as an artist
In domestic science wise,
His knowledge ranged from mullins plain
To faky, fruit-fiIled pies.
Days labor Ger, the lamplt hours
Sped joyousy along,
AS evenings must when winged with
mirth,
With music and with song
Till we climbed the stairs to dreamland,
Where Insomnia never knocks
To disturb the peaceful slumber
OF maid who gathers hops.
They have passed to other owners,
Those fields so green and fair
And older grown, those workers young,
Who once assembled there
But sometimes, when summer warmth
Across memory's screen there'll glide
For them, for me, hop-g gathering scenes
In sunny Riverside.

Senator William..P. Dillingham;
st. Johnsbury Caledonian.

The unanimous nomination of Senator
W. P. Dillingham; by the Republican
party of Vermont, to succeed himself,
must have been very pleasing to him.
His address before the convention should
be the keynote of the Republican con-
! gressional campaign - the Republican
/ party has given the country more pro-
gressive legislation than any other polit-
ical party and is the only party that has
been able to keep enough money in the
treasury to do business with. The Sena-
tor gave facts to prove his statements
and convinced his hearers that he is
ready to work for all sane progress. His
announcement that he had rendered
his services to the Republican State Com
mittee and was willing to give his time
for the promotion of the Republican
cause, also to answer questions the peo-
pie may wish to ask him, shows his con-
fidence that he has been right in the
long years of his service.
No better appeal for Senator Dilling-
nam can be made than the closing SEN
fences of the speech of Joseph A. De-
Boer in seconding the nomination of the
Senator. He said:-
I'VE should not substitute experiment
for certainty. We should return man
who has stood for a half century of con-
structive work and now enjoys magnifi-
cent and enviable reputation as a master
of affairs, man who stands with uncov-
cred head in the presence of the United
States Constitution.
II defy the Democrats or any tempo !
rary faction to produce a man who can !
stand up and look the record in the face.

is the most notable in the history of the |

Vermont'S Indebtedness

The United States Department of Com
merce and Labor has just completed a
report giving the indebtedness of the
different States of the Union, the nation
and the world. The State debt of YER
mont is shown to be 5000 that year,
compared with $751;, 900 80 years previous,
which is an increase of S419, 900. The
per capita State debt of this State in
1913 was 81 So, and As cents in 1880. At
the present time about four-tenths of
one per cent of the population of the
United States is in Vermont and one.
per cent of the total debt is credited to
this State.

Senator Dillingham's Cam
paign

The campaign carried on by Senator
States Senate from the State of Vermont,
has been almost unique in this day of
frenzied politics. He early announced
himself as a candidate of the Republican
party-the party which has honored him
with the nomination three times in the
past, and again few days ago. He has
all along conducted quiet, gentemanly
campaign, not uttering one word against
any of his possible adversaries. He has
disproven conclusively some of the things
which his adversaries have charged him,
others are too absurd for notice, but in
all he has not said discourteOus word.
On the other hand, his chief opponant,
former Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner, Charles A. Prouty, has resorted
to peculiar methods, 10 put it mildly, at
tempting to further his desires to replace
Senator Dillingham;. Mr.. Prouty is will
ling to take the nomination from any or
all parties, and therefore does not de-
finitely represent any of the schools of
political thought, in this country, today.
No man can use some of the methods
of attack, to which Senator Dillingham;
has been subjected, without having the
react on the offender. And
just these methods, combined with the
courteous handling of the senior Senator
from Vermont, will probably bring Sem
ator Dillingham; many votes. The dispo-
sition to discredit man of Senator Dill
ingham's well-known character, and to
say that Vermonters who favor him are
lot in sympathy with the effort to ele-
,ate society and benefit humanity, is not
! campaign method that will bring the
User many votes from intelligent per-
ons.-Boston Advertiser.

RAPIDITY OF SHOTS A FACTOR
IN PERSON CASE
Ho wfast did Carl e. Person pull
the trigger of his automatic gun when
he sent seven bullets into Tony Mus
ser last Dec. 80?
This was the question put to three
witnesses yesterday afternoon in the
bond hearing before Judge Walker.
If the shots were fired slowly it
proves cold-blooded murder, and
supports the prosecutors theory
that Musser was trying to get away
from Person, and there was no self
defense about it.
Charles Klein, x-postmaster of
Clinton, testified he saw the shooting,
and it took "a minute or two" for
Person to empty his gun. Judge
Walker interposed, ''This is an i'm
portant point. Will you clap your
hands now, one handicap for each
shot, at about the rapidity with which
the defendant fired?" Judge Walker
and all the attorneys on both sides
took out their watches and timed the
seven handclaps.
-Four seconds" said Judge Walker.
Both Klein and George Cain, an Illi-
OILS Central strikebreaker, had testi-
fed that Musser staggered about
fifteen feet" backward after the first
shot. So Judge Walker added the
significant comment:
"Musser did some fast staggering
if he moved fifteen feet in four sec
onds."
