FATAL RIDICULE.
Youths Of Ancient Alexandria Paid FOR
Their Caustic Wit.

Their Caustic wiz.
In ancient days the impudent wit Of
the young Greco Egyptian dandy was
proverbial, says Arthur e. P. Bronze
Weigan In 1.-The Life and Times Of
Cleopatra" That was especially true
In Alexandria. whose people were char
acterized by the Emperor Hadrian as
flight, wavering. seditious, vain and
spiteful. although as a body wealthy
and prosperous"
No sooner did a statesman assume
office or a king come to the throne than
the wags of the city gave him some
scurrilous nickname that stuck to him
throughout the remainder Of his life.
Thus Ptolemy TX. was called THE
Bloated." Ptolemy K. THE Vetch" and
Ptolemy XIII. 1.-THE Piper" Seleucus
they named 'Pickled Fish Peddler."
and in later times vespasian was named
''ScuIlion.'
When King Herod Agrippa passed
through the city on his way to his in
secure throne these young Alexan-
drians dressed up an unfortunate mad
man whom they had found In the
streets, put a paper crown upon his
head and a reed I'm his hand and led
him through the town. hailing him as
king of the Jews and that I'm spite of
the fact that Agrippa was the close
friend Of Caligula. their emperor.
Against Vespasian they told. with de
light. the story Of how he had pestered
one Of his friends for the payment OF
trihing loan Of oboli. and some one
made up a song I'm which that fact was
recorded
They r1dfculed Caracalla for dressing
himself like Alexander the Great, al
though his stature was below the aver
age. but In that case they had not reck-
oned with their man. His frightful re-
venRe upon them was the almost total
determination Of all the well to do
young men In the city. whom he col
Iected together under a false pretense
and then butchered I'm cold blood

with the fast Lancaster academy team
as opponents. This team is already
credited with a defeat over the local
school boys but Coach Gould has been

Granite state quintet is in for sur

VERMONT TRADE REPORT
A Better Holiday Business Expected
Increased Failures.

Bradstreet's Burlington office re-
ports but little change is noted in the
general lines of manufacture. Pre-
dfcations are being made as to the
l'outcome of holiday trade, the opinion
prevailing that the ability of the
average buyer is fully as good as US
ual, if not little better than was
noted for the same period of year
ago. The movement to revert to pur-
chasing of articles of better grade
is noted. The full holiday spirit has
not been awakened. A fall of snow,
it is expected, will materially advance
the interests of all.
The month of November recorded a
larger number of failures for the
month than was reported for Novem-
Der of a year ago, but the total amount
of money involved was less. During
November of this year, there were
nine failures, the aggregate liabilities
were $59,857, with assets Of $13,
The same month of a year ago gave
four failures, the liabilities were $62,-
TAB, and assets of $43,575.
The month just closed recorded three
fires of a serious nature. The total
damage caused by the seven fires af-
fecting as many mercantile interests
was $143,282. The same month last
year gave nine fires affecting twenty
mercantile interests, with an aggre
gate damage of $58,55O.
Two domestic corporations were
chartered during the month with an
aggregate total capitalization Of $14,-
500. The building operations per-
mitted in Burlington during the
month just closed were the largest for
any November during the past four
years. The amount of money, how
ever was not as great as was report
ed for November 1914. The total ap-
proximate expenditure involved in 102
permits granted during the first Ii
months of the present year was $685.,
$50. The like period of 1914 gave
total approximate expenditure of
$451,748, but the number of permits
was less by AZ.
Reports in general regarding col.
1ections indicate money to be coming
in better. Manufacturers Of confec-
tionery and bakers report the sales
and production this year will exceed
the volume done during this same per-
iod Of a year ago.

the National Capital The National
 Defense League has received thou
 sands of letters from citizens. from every section of the country, express
 ing interest in the movement for ade-
 qUate National Defense. and stating that
 the writers will attend the conference.
 It will focus the< eyes of the country
 on the program for National Defense
 that will be demanded from Congress
 at the next session.
 National Defense League A Pioneer.
 The National Defense League was organized February ?. 1918. at ineet- ing of Congressmen and citizens in the House of Representatives office building in the National Capital. This was the first effort to start move ment to prepare adequately the United States for National Defense. Repre- sentative Julius Kahn was elected chairman, and Senator Broussard was elected vice-chalrman. Since then the League, to which belongs the honor and the credit of starting the National Defense movement in this country. has had many imitators. From the small beginning by the, League Jess than three years ago the National Defense idea has grown until 1t is now un- doubtedly the most important question before the American people. The Ma tional Defense League has accom- plished much for the cause for which it was organized. The League put . through Congress the Kahn Rife Bill. which was incorporated in the Army bill two years ago. by which the National Rife Association of America was empowered by law to issue free government rifles and ann to civilian rifle clubs.

 Decorations Rival Inauguration. Washington will be eufete for the Encampnent and the plan ot decor;i
 tions will be quite as elaborate as those made ir connection with all
 presidential. inauguration. The season of the year is more favorable than the time of inauguration. and this fact lends itself to the scheme of fancy dress in which the National Capital will appear The War Depart men: has loaned hundreds of flags to float from buildings along the line of sthe Grand March. The Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds in con Junction with the Citizens Committee has provided a series of floral designs representing the Grand Army badge and various army corps badges in the downtown parks and reservations Reviewing stands for The public have been erected on Pennsylvania Avenue all he way from the Capitol to the White House.
 Conspicuous in this connection will be the Treasury reviewing stand, where Col. Robert N. Harper. the man who raised the money for the Wash ington Encampment. has planned human flag to greet the veterans as they round Pennsylvania Avenue, com ing into Fifteenth Street. This flag will be composed of some five hun dred young women of Washington. dressed in red. white and blue and so seated upon the grandstand as to rep resent in living picture the national emblem.
 As courtesy to the veterans of the South and with the approval of the Grand Army officials, the Washing ton Committee has extended an invf-> tation to the officers of the star of the Confederate organizations to attend the forthcoming Encampment. This Is in line with the spirit which was manifested two years ago at Gettys-- burg when the veterans of the North and South met upon that historic field in commemoration of the fftieth an niversary of the titanic struggle there
 While the Encampment is scheduled to begin on Monday. September 27th, the first day will be given over largely

soldiers saw hard fighting during the
 troubled days of '61 to '65.
 1 During Encampment week in Wash
 ington. the various organizations allied
 with the Grand Army will also hold ! their annual meetings. Among these are the Nomen's Relief Corps The Ladies of the G. A. R., The Sons O.. Veterans. The Sons of Veterans AuxiI- ary, The Daughters of veterans and a | dozen or more smaller bodies, includ ing The Loyal Legion, The Medal of Honor Legion, The Volunteer Officers Association, The Naval Veterans, The
 Ex Prisoners of War, The Society of the Army of the Potomac, The Society
 of the Army of the Cumberland, The
 Society of the Army of the Tennessee,
 The Society of the Army of the James and The Society of the Army of the
 Ohio. s-.-.- f1-.. ..-s
 Through out Encampment Week
 there will also be a series of camp
 fires by members of the various corps as they were organized at the time of the war as well as 8 ogwatch". for the naval veterans. The naval vet erans for the most part are members of the Grand Army. and the dog watch" is to them what the camp fire is to the old soldiers.
 There are In the Grand Army Or ganiZation. forty-fve departments, each State constituting a department except that the States of Louisiana and Mississippi. Georgia and South Carolina, Colorado and Wyoming, and California and Nevada are combined and the Department of the Potomac composed of the veterans in the Dis trict of Columbia In these various departments there are upwards of six thousands. posts. Many of these which were numerically large at the time of their Organization. now number less than a score of members. so rapidly has death, within recent years, de pleted their ranks. Other posts have several hundred members. -fl ' One of the features of the Encamp- ment which has been arranged by the Women's Organization allied with the Grand Army will be the planting of two memorial trees, one on each side 1 of the boulevard which leads to the | Lincoln Memorial now in course of | at a cost of three million | dollars in Potomac Park.

Conference On National Defense.

Immediately following the Grand Army of the Republic encampment
 will be held the Conference on Ma ! tional Defense. To this gathering all veterans are invited as we'll as any citizens who attend the encamp,nent. The Conference on National De fense' is unique in that any citizen of the United States may attend the con ference as an accredited delegate from his city or town and participate in the deliberation of the great assem- blaze. No appointment is necessary and any citizen may take part in its deliberations. All that is required for any person who is interested in Ma tional Defense and who wishes to at tend the conference is to send his name and address to the National De- fense League. Riggs Building. Wash ington, D. C., when he will be enrolled as a delegate to the conference
 While the Conference was initiated by, and will be held under. auspices of the National Defense League, other defense societies will participate The Navy. League and -the National Rifle Association of America, as well as other defense organizations, will take part.
 Conference Follows Encampment.
 The conference begins October 1 and ends October 2. The four days program of the National Defense Con ference will be a most interesting one The speakers will include some of the most distinguished men in the coun- try. and the National defense problem will be considered from every possible angle. It is expected that the con ference. in point of attendance, will be the largest gathering ever held in

to the registration Of the visitors in order that the veterans may meet { informally with their old comrades.
 An elaborate system of registration
 has been worked out by three govern
 ment experts whereby the old soldiers, upon arriving in Washington. will be placed in immediate touch with those
 who marched and camped with them
 a half century ago. No matter how
 widely they may have been separated
 during the years which have passed
 since the close of the war, 1t is planned
 that they shall be able to get together
 and renew acquaintances as soon as
 they reach the Encampment. On the
 following day, there will be a series
 of receptions by the various depart
 mentS and corps In the evening there will be a mammoth mass meet
 ing at the headquarters of the En
 carnpment which President Wilson
 will attend Following his national
 welcome, Hon. Oliver P. Newman, President of the Board of District commissioners, will formally extend a welcome upon behalf of the city. Re sponses will be made by David J. Palmer and other officials of,the Grand Army. Prior to the eyeningTeception there will be reunion of the Sixth Army Corps at Fort Stevens located In one of VSashington's nea-by suburbs and one Of the Capitals outposts dur ing the Civil War.
 Reception To Women's Relief Corps.
 On the evening of the day of the Grand Review. q public reception in the Capitol building will be rendered to the Ladies of the Women's Relief Corps. which also holds its gatherings with the Grand Army Encampment. The business ses- sion of the Encampment to which there are accredited approximately 1 fifteen hundred delegates. will be held on Thursday and Friday. On the lat ter day, following the election of Grand Army officers for the ensuing 1 year and the selection of the place for holding the next encalnp1nent the ! veterans will proceed to Arlington Ma | tional Cemetery and with President | Wilson participate in the laying of the l of the new amphitheatre. |
 Saturday will be given over largely | to side trips to the nearby battlefields | of Virginia. where many of the old

that thousands of farmers in Illinois

A Lesson from the Past

ders were SO we'll known the

These materials were then

-cesses of refining had not been
devised to bring them to the high
state of purity Of the present
