PICKETT AT GETTYSBURG.

LaSalle Corbell Pickett, widow of the
famous Confederate general who led
the historical charge of Gettysburg,
tells of that charge as follows:
Down the slope into the smoke filed
valley the devoted men followed him
as he rode in advance upon his black
war horse. Their ranks were thinned
and torn and shattered by the tempest
Of lead which from every side was
turned on them. Smoke and flame sur
rounded them. But from the rear the
men sprang to fill the gaps In front as
they pressed after their leader through
the tempest of iron. Five thousand
Virginians followed him at the start,
but when the southern flag f1oated on
the ridge, in less than half an hour,
not 1000 were left to rally beneath it,
and those for only one glorious, vic
tory intoxicated moment They were
not strong enough to hold the position
they had so dearly won, and, broken
hearted even at the very moment of
his immortal triumph, my soldier led
his remaining men down the slope
again. He dismounted and walked be-
side the stretcher upon which General
Kemper, one of his officers, was be-
ing carried, tanning him and speaking
cheerfully TO comfort him in his suf-
fering. When he reached Seminary
1ddge again and reported to General
Lee his face was wet with tears as he
pointed to the crimson valley and said:
My noble division lies there!
General Pickett said the com
mander, you and your men have COW
cred yourselves with glory
Not all the glory in the world, Gen
eral Lee my soldier replied, could
atone for the widows and orphans this
day has made.''

HAD STRENUOUS LIFE.
Daniel D. Brown, Vermonter, Aged 81
Died at Hastings, Mich.

HASTINGS, Mich, July 6. = The
strenuous and romantic life of Daniel
u. Brown ended here when he was
buried IN Thornapple Township, where
he had lived for many years.
Mr. Brown, who was 81 years old,
was real SON. of the American
revolution, and a veteran of the Mexi-
can and civil wars He was born in

Just after the Black Hawk war, he
provided himself with a rife and made
his way into the wilderness of Illinois
and Iowa, where he hunted and trap
ped with the Indians.
IN the frontier town of Nauvoo, a
Mormon stronghold, he saw Brigham
Young and his retinue of wives. In
one OF the frontier towns Brown also
became acquainted with Brigham
Young himself. Desiring glimpse of
civilized life, Brown left the wilder
ness at the age of % years and made
his way back to his old home in Yer
mont. He found that his father had
married again. Daniel had eight broth
ers and ten sisters.
In 1910 Daniel persuaded his brotn-
er, Nelson, to come west, and thew

turned to Vermont. where Daniel en-
listed in Clarendon for service in the

tics fought by General Scott IS army

the Mexican capital. He received an
honorable discharge after the treaty of
dalupe-Hidalgo.

JUDGE BARBER M1soUoTED.

\ recent case in the Brattleboro mn-
nicipal court, i'll which Judge Frank r.
Barber fined Morris i. Chamberlain
800 for shooting deer, has resulted
III much editorial comment and nu-
merous communications relative to the
question OF whether alfalfa is grass
or crop, and Judge Barber has come
IN for some unfavorable criticism
which is unwarranted by the facts.
The discussion has found its way into
national farm journals and has occu-
pied columns of space without adding
anything to the world s store OF
knowledge, because the unanimous yer
dict that alfalfa is a crop is Just what
everybody understood before the dis
cussion began. The waste of energy
was due to a nlisstatement of the case
IN the first place, which appeared in
several newspapers. The impression
was given out that Mr.. Chamberlain
shot the deer because it was eating
his alfalfa and that Judge Barber
ruled that alfalfa was grass and
therefore fined the respondent, it be-
ing illegal to shoot deer eating
grass.
A true statement of the case gives
it an entirely different aspect. The
facts are that no evidence was intro
duced to show that the deer was eat
ing alfalfa, the fine being imposed on
Mr.. Chamberlain for shooting deer
out Of season. The question of wheth-
er alfalfa was grass or a crop came up
only incidentally and Judge Barber. af-
ter reading the definition of alfalfa.
held that it was crop. His ruling, how
ever, had no special bearing one way
or another upon the disposition of the
case, as it was not shown that the
animal was destroying the crop.

In comforting the degree Of Doctor
of Laws on Governor Gates President
Benton was not quite SO ELUSIVE as he
was two years ago when he performed
similar function in behalf of Gov
ernor Fletcher, but his words in adj
addressing Governor Gates were suf-
ficiently cordial to please the govern
or's most ardent admirer. In con
ferring the degree President Benton
spoke as follows:
Upon you, Charles Winslow Gates,

Very few persons-even those who
are well Informed on most matters
know how much an inch of rain is.
The average man or woman probably
has an idea that an inch is mere
trile on nature s part. In reality it
IS good big rainfall-more than falls
IN most places in an average week. A
rainfall of one inch means literally
that the amount of water would cover
the surrounding territory to a depth
OF one inch providing it did not run
away or soak into the ground. An
inch of rain coming down on a single
acre of land would fill more than 600
barrels of Is gallons capacity each
This amount of water would WEIGH
more than 10 tons, or nearly a quar-
ter of million pounds. These figures
take on q new significance when we
stop to consider the fact that the to-
tai rainfall locally in the past few
days has amounted to between four
and five inches.

GREATER VERMONT NOTES.

On Friday. 90 members of the Swan
ton board of trade in five automobiles
took a better acquaintance trip to Nor
risville for the purpose of investigating
the municipal water power plant. They
We're welcomed to Morrisyille by a large
party of citizens and were shown
through the village and the municipal
power plant, securing suggestions as TO
the handling and development of their
own plant at Swanton. They also Vis-
tied the cottages of the summer resort
on the lake maintained by DR.. Slayton.
The Vergennes board of trade, at a
meeting held Friday evening, consid-
cred two propositions which concern the
increase of local industries. A New
Hampshire wood novelty company Is
desirous of interesting the board Of
trade in plans to secure for their use
the local plant formerly occupied by the
Bennington Scale company, and now
for sale. st. Peter s parish offers to
give rent free for industrial purposes
the building once used as a parochial
school, provided some industry can be
secured which promises to be perma-
nent.
The Rutland Business Men S associa-
ton is planning an advertising cam

ordered, which will be placed on the.
highways leading into Rutland, and
will attract tourists to the 'smarble

mittee has been appointed to make
plans for the posting Of signs through
out the region, and to take up with the
railroads the proposition of placing at
each end of the station large electric
signs calling the attention of the trav-
cling public to the attractions of Rut-
land. The association has directed the
committee to consider a
plan for cooperation with the news
papers in publishing throughout the

She did it. She has done it ever

gallant husband who led his Virgini-

her husbands death she has resided
in Washington, hiding troubles of her
own that she might be free to lend

1t is only of very recent years that
she has forced time from her other

Scathing editorials on the drunken
automobile driver as a menace to all
persons using the streets and high
ways are timely and good, but the de-
nunciations ought to be extended 50
as to include men who use horses
while under the influence of liquor.
The terrible accident near Waterbury
IN which one man was killed and
another mutilated for life was said in
the first reports to be due to the
breaking of holdback, but it appear
ed later that the men involved had
been participants in drunken de-
bauch, and very likely their minds
we're bcfuddled to the point where

under the direction of a committee
consisting of Willard w. Eggleston.
formerly of Rutland, now with the bu-

The last list of Vermont plants was
issued IN 1910 by DIR. Brainerd, Mr..
Eggleston and Prof. L. r. Jones. Of
Madison, Wis, then of the University
of Vermont The old list contains
the names of 1862 plants. In the
new one there are 2.022. The increase
IS due to more intensive field work
and changes in nomenclature.
The flora gives the habitat of each
plant, contains statement as to its
abundance or scarcity and interesting
information as to the location III
which they grow.

An idea of the earnestness with
which the medical profession is in
curing into the causes and treatment
of cancer may be obtained from the
fact that all of the six original arti-
cles in the latest issue of the Medi-
cal Record deal with some phase of
this disease. Two editorials also dis
cuss the same subject. It should be
understood, of course, that the word
cancer is a general term, covering va
rious forms of malignant growths.
