ONE HUNDRED HEARS
AGO.

Should 1914 fail to be a mei lorable
year in the worlds history it viii
have been very different from tile year
Of which it is the centenary. Very
stirring events were occurring just
one hundred years ago. Let US ID ok at
some of them.
One hundred years ago this year the
fame of the great Napoeon suffered its
first eclipse. On March 81 the allied
armies occupied Paris, and on April II
Napoleon abdicated and prepared for
his exile on Elba. England proclaim
ed a thanksgiving for the peace Of
Europe.
On March 81 the battle Of Great
Horseshoe Bend was fought, in which
Andrew Jackson, just coming INFO
prominence, defeated the Greek In
dams. 1t was victory which was Of
great significance to the young re-
public, and which made Jackson the
IDOL of the people.
On July 25 the first engine carrying
load upon the rails made trip. This
was in England. The inventor Of the
locomotive was George Stevenson. The
name of the engine was the "Bluch
err" whose escaping steam made so
much noise that the law pronounced it
nuisance. The rate of speed was
about five miles an hour.
In July the first steam vessel of
war ever built in the whole world YVES
completed for the American navy. It
was designed by Robert Fulton. Our
navy before that had consisted Of
twenty sailing vessels.
On August "a the Capitol and White
House at Washington were fred by

original structure were standing. A
rainstorm extinguished the flames be-
fore much damage was done.
In September the Congress of Wen

commissioners from various European
States who attempted to reorganize
Europe and bring back bounds and
relations as they were before Napoleon
changed them.
On November the % the first per

Postal Savings Banks


The war in Europe is proving big
boon to postal savings in this country.
From the very day hostiities opened
across the seas postal-savings receipts
began to increase and Withdrawals fell
off, result quite contrary to the pre-
dictions of many well-informed persons.
But the forecasters failed to reckon on
the absolute confidence of the American
citizen, regardless of the flag that first
met his eyes, in the ability and purpose
of the Government to carry out its
obligations, not only among the nations
of the earth, but with the humblest
citizen of our land.
Two important results have followed;
thousands of people, largely of foreign
birth, ccustomed to send their savings
abroad, are now patrons of our postal
savings system; and enormous sums of
actual cash have been released for
commercial uses among our own people
at time when the need for every
available dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in the
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an i'm
portant gap between the tin-can deposit
tory and the factory paymaster. On
July l, when affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad and the trans
mission of money across the Atlantic
was safe and expeditions, there was ap-
proXitmately SAB, 600, 600 of postal saw
ings standing to the credit of about $685.,
600 depositors. Since then over Sl0,-
600, 600 of deposits have been added
and the number of depositors has in
creased enormously. This unprecedent-
ed gain is the more striking when it is
considered that the net gain in the last
three months is larger than the gain for
the entire fiscal year 1914, Scores of
offices have done more posts-s savings
business since the war has been going
on than was done by them during the
previous existence of the service. The
increases are confined to no special
localities, but have been felt in every
nook and corner of the country. New
York city alone made gain in Septem-
Der of more than million, while Brook
lyn showed a relatively big increase.
Chicago reported larger gain in the
past three months than for the previous
twelve months. More than 1000 new
accounts We're opened during the period,
bringing the number of depositors in
that city up to over p, 600.
Since the war was declared the de-
posts in the Middebury postofiice
have shown large gain, nearly all the
depositors in this office are of foreign
birth.

D. a. 3. Meetinq.

held on October LIST meeting at the

pleasant feature of which was the sur

beautifully decorated, which Mrs. Kate
Taylor in a very graceful speech pre-
sented the vice regent, Mrs. W. H.

timents by others, to which Mrs. Bing-
ham responded in happy and apprecia-
tive manner. The meeting was called
to order at two O'Clock by the regent,
Mrs. C. H. Lane. After the roll call,
with responses from patriotic songs,
the flag salute was given. Routine and
much special business was transacted.
Letters were read from absent men,
bers, ackr owledging gifts of flowers
and favors. The usual sum was voted

A most interesting program followed.
A paper by Mrs. Lillian Field on
Florence Nightingale, and paper on
Clara Barton and the great work of the
Red Cross society by Miss Maude
Parkill, were most entertaining. The
reading by Mrs. Louise Delong of the
work of Mrs. Byckendyke, nurse in

very pleasant meeting was adjoul ned

His people looked to him hopefully to
take the burden from the senior
Bishops's firing shoulders and his
marked executive ability encouraged
them to hope for building up of the
waste places.
But it seemed otherwise to the
Divine Head of the Christian faith
and the Bishop has been called to
what seems from the human point of
view his premature rest.
The disease with which Bishop
Weeks was stricken not long after
his conservation was peculiarly painful,
and the patients sufferings were in
tense. But all were borne patiently
and uncomplainingly, and up to his last
conscious moment his thoughts and
car es were for others, neveI for him
self.
And so the good Bishop passed from
the church militant to the church
triumphant Burlington News.

These team hunts in the fall season
are relic of barbarism. Two sides
are chosen. Birds and animals called
game are marked for a certain number
of points. Then the members of the
two teams go out for specified num-
Der of days and kill about every kind
of wild creature they can find. The
finale comes in big supper furnished

in wanton slaughter for the sake of

EDISON IN WAR TIME.

In the November American Magazine
appears an inspiring article entitled
Edison in War Time. 1t is report
of the opportunities and responsibilities
that have been opened up to the great
electrical wizard by the war. Edison
is, of course, great manufacturer, and
in his manufacturing needs large guam
titles of raw materials, many of which
have previously been imported from
Europe. With these importations cut
off Edison has been working night and
day and has inspired his associates to
almost superhuman labors. One of his
great achievements of the last six
weeks has been the erection of a plant
in seventeen days to manufacture ton
and half of carbolic acid per day
required in the manufacture of his
photograph discs. Up to the outbreak
of the war all of this carbolic acid was
imported from Europe the Edison
works ranking as the largest consumer
of carbolic acid in America. Following
is an extract from the article:
The real war-no mere sport of
princelngs, but humanity's strife for
progress and welfare, the war for the
liberation Of happiness-was here.
was at the front. This room, piled high
with books and apparatus, was the
worlds military headquarters in the
only war worth waging, and before me
sat the worlds acknowledged leader,
the determined and unconqIerabe
genius who so often had pressed Ma
lures obstinate resistance from strong
hold to stronghold, and finally to un-
conditional surrender.
Edison looked his part, every inch a
wartime warrior and no lay figure or
dressparade - unshaven, disheveled
dusty, his blue serge suit bagging about
him and wrinkling ike seersucker, his
white hair was unkept and his face
pallid. He looked as though he haC
not slept for a week. When he SHOOK
hands with me, his hand was cold as {
fish, though it was a roasting day il
mid-August. But under their heavy
lids his blue eyes shone and sparkled
All the blood in his body was in his
brain; he was thinking, thinking, think
ing, ceaslessly driving all of his energy
into a siege that must be short, sharp
and final.
