Bad Fire At Lisbon.

The finishing room, dry house,
store houses and all the wooden
buildings on the Cushman and Ran
kin property at Bath, N. H, were
destroyed by fire late Tuesday eve
ming of last week Fire was discov-
cred about $50 and bucket brigade
was formed from the river. Lisbon
and Woodsville responded to a call
for help and through the efforts of
many workers the stone buildings
and the wooden bridge nearby were
saved. George F. Cushman, formerly
of st. Johnsbury, is one of the firm
and states that the loss will be heavy
as there was an unusually large
stock of manufactured product on
hand. The Litt1eton Courier esti-
mates the loss at $4,000. The fire
was visible from st. Johnsbury.

WITH HonoRS OF WAR.
Rights Those Conditions Confer Upon
q Defeated Fee.

Defeated Fee.
Ordinarily in all siege operat lions a
surrender of a fortress is uncondition
| al, and the vanquished tacitly agree tc
accept whatever terms the victor, IL
| his wisdom, may impose, relying upon
the latters magnanimity for good and
lenient treatment. The usual course is
| this: The garrison is disarmed- They
are made to fall in, all so many prison
ers, and escorted to wherever their
cOnquerors decide they shall be de-
tanned.
The conquerors, of course, see that
the escort is a strong guard, properly
armed, able to put down at once any
attempt on the prisoners part to es-
cape or disobey orders. Worst of all
and certainly the most CALLING to any
real soldier, the almost sacred trophies
of the different regiments become the
spoils of the victors.
Guns, ammunition, colors and such
like things all have to be given up,
though men have given their lives to
defend them. For the future they
grace the homes of the enemy or are
turned against their old owners in the
field.
1t is in these things that the humili-
alton of surrender becomes complete.
Yet all of it is saved when the beaten
garrison is granted the ''hOnors Of
war" That means the defenders were
simply defeated, but not disgraced."
By its use the successful besiegers
admit to the world that the garrison
was able to make something better
than an unconditional surrender. Their
heroic defense had not left them at
their last gasp. They could maintain
hostilities for some time yet, and, al
though they would undoubtedly be
beaten at the finish, the fortress could
only be taken after more loss had
been suffered.
In such a case all that is demanded
Of the beaten men is that they should
evacuate all their positions. These the
enemy takes possession of as what he
has been striving for. All the colors
and other trophies are retained by the
garrison. The defenders are not pris-
Oners of war, compelled to surrender.
They are simply beaten men, volunta-
rily giving up the unequal contest.
They are not disarmed and escorted
by guards. Mastering under their own
leaders, they have no enemy over them
giving orders. Headed by their own
bands, with their own colors flying
above them and no foreign flag near,
they march OUT of the positions they
have so nObly held, saluted by their
successors and acclaimed by the world
as heroes for whom circumstances have
been too strong.
1t has been previously settled where
they should go, and thither they march
by themselves, their officers wearing
their swords by their sides, just as if
they were victors instead of conquered
men. They merely evacuate their po-
sitions and to all purposes are free
men, not prisoners.
This is marching out with the "hon-
ors of war."-Pearson's.

When the Whistle Test Failed All the
Surgeons Were Puzzled.
A Partisan journal tells little story
Of a young Partisan who in civil life
had long worn a mOnOcle in his left
eye and had continued the habit as an
officer. He had been wounded, was
cured and asked to be returned to the
front. He was to be examined and
concealed the monocle, thinking he
might be charged with myopia in one
eye. When the chief surgeon exam
ined him, after looking well over his
face, he said sharply, whistler
The soldier whistled like blackbird
This is curious said the surgeon,
and, calling a young assistant, he said
again to the soldier, whistler He
whistled again. THAT is curious"
said the young assistant.
Another surgeon entered, and the pa
tent was called upon for the third
time to whistle.
"Ah,'' said the surgeon, this is Gu

But" expOstulated the soldier, 81
don't see why there is so much of this.
I'm not to serve as a locomotive"
at is all right said the chief sur
geon. "You may return to the front"
When the soldier arrived at his regi-
ment he gave to the regimental sur
geon the note that had been given him
by the examiner. This surgeon said in
his turn, "Wi1 you please whistler"
He whistled. "This is curious" said
the surgeon.
It seems that when a man wears a
monocle it gives to the face the appear
ance of facial paralysis. The opera
ton of whistling is a test. The facial

REALLY BEAT LITTLETON
Local Base Ball Experts Attained
Height of Their Ambition
Last Thursday.

| Nearly $50 royal. rooters accom-
panied the ST. Johnsbury team to
Littleton last Thursday and saw them
returned a winner over Littleton by
the slow score of 1 4 to 10.
1t was an erratic game from the
start and it was not until the very
end that anyone was sure of the out
come. Tommy Davidson started out
| for ST. Johnsbury but it was quickly
seen that he was not the man for the
job and in the second inning with
three men on bases, and none out
Keefe was ordered in. The latter
was an improvement and beside his
good pitcvhing he also contributed a
single and home run, which helped
land the game.
st. Johnsbury opened the game
with two runs in the first inning, but
Littleton came right back at them
with three in their half. They also
added one in the second, three in the
third, and another in the fourth,
while st. Johnsbury scored in the
third. With the score eight to three
things looked rather black for st.
Johnsbury, but in the sixth the visi-
tors got going for fair, and as a re-
suit of two errors, sacrifice hit by
on balls to Moore, and singles by
HoernIe, Jack Davidson, st. Johns
bury managed to run in four. Little
ton tied it up in their half but in the
next session a couple of errors and
singles by Shea, Moore and Davidson
gave st. Johnsbury four runs. They
scored again in the eighth and ninth,
but the best Littleton could do was
one more in the final session.
Malcolm worked for Littleton eight
innings, but had to be replaced final
ly by Daley. The change came too
late however to stem the tide, and it
was a happy crowd indeed that filled
the score or more of automobiles on
the return to st. Johnsbury.
The same teams play here tomor-
row afternoon and both managers
Moore and Spillane have strengthen

spending the past three or for days
in Pine Bluff looking into conditions
here and Investigating iuto several
tracts on which it is Likely his com

and this section of Arkansas" said
,Ir. Won Lint yesterday after DON.
Particularly am | impressed with
the indications SO manifold in Pine
Bluff that the people Of this city and
community are not undergoing any
hardships or slackening in trade be-
cause of the so-called hard times
generally supprse d to exist all over
this country.
"There were crowds on the streets
of Pine Bluff Saturday larger il
numbers, and more freely making
purchases at the stores, than any |
have seen for some weeks past even
in cities much larger than Pine
Bluff There is no lack OF ready
money apparent here; your merch-

business as they did last year at this
time, and your people appear to be
just as prosperous as ever Pine

Mr.. Won Lint was shown all over
the country contiguous to Pine Bluff
by Secretary e. B. Bloom of the

with the excellent location of several

mented upon by him.
He stated that the colonists to be
located cy his company will want no
financial aid from the community in
which they are placed, and that about
all that will be asked will be salts

chase OF the lands by the colonists,
payments covering a long period and
at reasonably low interest being the
