A Millionaire Pioneer Farmer.

! The American Magazine has an I'M
usual group of sketches and pictures in
| its Interesting People department for
| January. Among these is an article
about Roger Derby. the son of we'll
known Massachusetts family, who has
gone TO North Carolina where he is do
| ing value to the state. Mr. Derby is
a brother of DIR. Richard Derby who is
Col Rooseyelt's son-in-law. The follow
ing extract from the article win give
an idea of the adventures and pioneer
spirit OF this young farmer:
After graduating from college Roger
Derby went on an expedition in the old
cup defender 'Niayflower' to search for
an old Spanish galleon wreck off the
coast OF Jamaica; was shipwrecked in
a hurricane; chartered new vessel and
started again; located the galleon but
no goldi and came home after a few
months OF buccaneerng with no treas.
ure, but with lots of hairbreadth es-
capes to tell OF. He then passed two
years in solemn state behind an office
desk in University hall. Cambridge, as
an administrative officer OF his alma
mater. All this doesn't sound like
part Of the biography OF plain Ameri-
can farmer. but il is.
For Roger Derby is a farmer and
mighty proud of it. He doesn't use the
prefix gentleman befor that honorable
title OF farmer. either. Derby is a big,
husky, outdoor athlete with neck as
big around as Il telegraph pole. and he
acts quickly when he makes up his mind.
In the undeveloped lands Of North Caro-.
lima, in the neighborhood OF Pineburst,
ne found the opportunity he wanted !
He invested in some two thousand acres. |
His farm was, a great wilderness where |
timber had all been cut off and only |
brush and stumps left
Tie bought some caterpillar engines. |
built lot OF stump-pulling, machines
out OF old railroad iron, hired little
army Of laborers. and set to work. The /
grubbng machines failed; but at any /
rate they gave Derby the fun of pulling 1
them 10 pieces, experimenting with them.
The work took time and infinite patience
10 get the hang Of, but when he and his 4
lelpers put into practice the am.work
Harvard football had taught him.
'tumps began to dy out Of the ground.
they are flying yet.

BODY TAKEN TO ONTARIO.
Following Prayer Service For John B.
Laurie at st. Adams.

st. Adams, Jan. lS.--The remains OF
John b. Laurie, who died late Friday
night at his home on High street, after
long illness, was taken Saturday even
ing to Sarnia, Ont, his former home, for
burial. A prayer service was held at
Mr.. Laurie's late home at four o'clock
Saturday afternoon, Rev. S. w. An
trony, pastor Of the First Congregation

renee, G. c. Jones, J. M. Morrison and
G. P. Twigg.
Mr.. Laurie was born in Sarnia, Feb

Judge lanes L. Martin.

The news of the death of Judge James
Loren Martin came with staggering force
this morning to the people OF his home
community. Although 6S years old,
Judge Martin was at the height of his
powers intellectually, and there had been
no intimation to people generally of any
weakness in his physical condition. He
had been a conspicuous figure in the pub
lie life of the state 40 years. He was
but 80 when he was elected speaker of
the Vermont House of Representatives,
serving in that capacity three terms,
and being one of the youngest men who
ever filled the office. He had been hon
ored by election and appointment to
many positions, his career being rounded
out by his work as judge of the United
States court, in which position he sue
ceeded his distinguished townsman, the
late Judge III. H. Wheeler, in 1906. Judge
Martin was gifted with brilliant mind.
was a skilled parliamentarian, success
full lawyer and he brought to the bench
not only a. deep knowledge OF the prin-
ciples and practices of the law but
understanding of human nature.
He was often called to New York to
preside over important sessions OF the
federal court, and the Danbury hatters
and other notable cases came before him
The best tribute to the quality of Judge
Martins service on the bench is his rec.
ord-in eight years the United States SUI
preme court had never reversed one of
his decisions.-Brattlebo Reformer.

Five Months of the War.

The war has now entered upon its
sixth month without developing any in
dication OF the award of final victory.
1t is to-day, as it was four weeks ago,
a stand-of. II the allies cannot push
the Germans back deep into Belgium,
neither can the Germans apparently
maintain any temporary advantage they
gain in their contest with the Russians
in the eastern sphere of conflict. Austria
continues its i'll luck, for it has lost all
the advantage it gained by the occu-
patton of Belgrade. The Servians are
once more in possession of their capital,
which Francis Josephs soldiers held for
only few days. Gains in the western
arena are measured by yards oftener
than they are stated in miles. Two en-
trenehed armies cannot be expected to
make very rapid changes OF position.
IL is the disposition of soldiers, who are,
after all, only men in uniform to hug
shelter closely, and it requires no little
exertion TO get them 10 break away
from their defences and risk the perils
of the open areas. Under such eondi-
tions there is nothing novel in the fight
ing resolving itself into a prolonged ar
tillery duel With the winter only Just
begun, with weeks of ice and snow to
be anticipated, il is quite as likely that
the operations will be sluggish as that
the exertion and incentives OF officers
will inspire soldiers 10 a renewal of the
energy so much more easily exhibited in
open weather.
There are many standpoints from
which 10 view the war. The general
opinion in Europe appears 20 be that the
Germans are getting the worst OF il. but
20 this opinion there are some pointed
exceptions. Thus the military experts
OF the London Saturday Review main

figured out they favor the Germans. He

Needless Hayti.

1t would be well if diplomatic Lam
guage could be made to impress on Hayti
the conviction that she is making her
self nuisance to the neighbors. Some
thing of this kind is necessary to sober
her. America has been friendly and for
bearing toward the little colored sister,
always trying to guide her into peace
full and prosperous ways, but thus far
she has shown herself incorrigibly heed
less and tightly, and her revolutionary
antics have become a matter of serious
concern to all who have dealings with
her to commerce or finance The consti-
tutional provision that Hayti shall elect
president for a term of seven years
has been reduced to miserable Joke.
Presidential terms are really measured
by months. On Nov 7, Senator Davi-
mar Theodore was elected president by
Congress; on Jan. Cape Haytien was
attacked by force endeavoring to over
throw him. and several towns have
since risen in arms against his authori-
ty.

she would give no cause for il. Could a

Names Deadlock.

When the Maine legislature meets
again this morning it will be in the
same condition Of deadlock as it has
been in since it met for organization
last Wednesday. But things are ex-
pected TO happen to-day. The Demo-
Gratis, who are in control Of the House
just as the Republicans are in control
OF the Senate, have a plan TO unseat
a Republican or two and thus get the
majority OF one that they need in joint
session in order TO elect the state Off
GERS and the executive councillors. IL
is a dangerous game to play, but des-
pcrate diseases require desperate RENE
dies, and Gov. Curtis simply must have
party associates in office around him.
At first the Democrats were disposed
20 unseat' Republican member from
Aroostock, Ieyite Thibodeau, for there
seemed TO be the best grounds for a
contest against his seat. But the em-
harrassing discovery was made that he
has a brother, Paul Thibodeau, who is
. Democratic member OF the same coun-
ty This brother and his friends were
not disposed 10 play politics that way.
SO the Democratic leaders looked around
aud selected a Republican member from
Walden county. James ,. Clement, as
the victim Of their party's imperative
needs. The knives have been sharpened
over Sunday in the committee on cleo
tions, and his head Is expected 10 fan
