toward the recruiting of the British
army if she succeeds in increasing her
quota to 10000 men as now contem-

done well and has demonstrated her close
utilization with the mother country. More
than doubling that number will not be
an easy proposition, however.

MONTPELIER
Driver John Bartlett of Fire Department
Thrown When Wagon Separated.

A peculiar accident, which fortunately
failed to cause serious injury to those
concerned, occurred about $50 o'clock
last evening at the intersection of Main
and State streets, when the exercising
wagon of the fire department met with
mishap, due to the king bolt being
dislodged. Driver John Bartlett Of the
department, accompanied by another
fireman, was going after some hay with
the light wagon and single horse and
when the team bounced across the car
tracks the bolt dropped out of its place
allowing the front wheels to leave the
body of the wagon, throwing the driv
err to the ground. The horse responded
quickly when told to stop and Bartlett
escaped with a few scratches on the
face The wagon was not damaged to
any extent.

The week is not one of the natural d.
visions OF time. like the day (measured
by the earth's rotation on it's axis); the
month measured BY the moons revolu-
ton around the EARTH. and the year
(measored by the earth's revolution

day period called a week has been in use
from the time immemorial. The names OF
the days OF the week and the order OF
their occurrence are OF unknown but

The names are based On those of the
sun and the moon and the five planets

EARTH. Sunday is the suns day: Mon

Wednesday Mercury's day; Thursday
