Aged Veterans 12O-MiIe Walk.

James Higginbotham, of Bennington,
a 70-year old veteran of the Civil War.
walked twice from Bennington to Pitts
field, Mass, to obtain signatures to his
pensionpapers.
In the Civil War he served in a Mass
achusetts regiment with Mr.. Pratt, of
Pittsfield. In order to draw a pension
Mr.. Higginbotham found that he must
have the signature of man who would
identify him as the soldier mentioned in
the papers. He tramped down to Pitts
field and looked up Mr. Pratt and OBJ
tanned the signature.
Returning by foot to Bennington, the
old soldier was informed by the solicitor
that the signature of Mr.. Pratt had to
be witnessed by two other persons. The
aged veteran set out again, walked back
to Pittsfield, secured the signatures,
went back to Bennington on foot, and
obtained his pension money.
The distance he covered was about 20
miles each way, a total of 120 miles for
two round trips.

While trailing three deer on Victory
mountain Tuesday Moses Cooley, aged
96 years, employed by A. E. Breed of
st. Johnsbury, was hit in one leg by a
5000 bullet from Mrs. Breeds gun.
Cooley and his employers wife started
out in the morning and followed separ-

close to the deer, Mrs. Breed suggested
that Cooley take the lead As pre-
caution she started to pull down the
trigger of her rifle and in doing so her
hand slipped on the wet gun and it was
discharged, the bullet blowing through
Cooley's leg below the knee. The wo-
man succeeded in getting him to her
home a few miles away where physi-

and measured six feet from nose to tail.
Mr.. May and Ralph Sears, jr., of Lud-

saw the bear and fired, but missed it.
May was some distance away and, as
the bear approached him, he thought it
was Mr. Sears. At closer range he dis
covered his mistake and fired. At least
three shots took effect. The animal
was killed in the valley at the head of
Sanders brook, about one-fourth of a
mile from the old cab shop shanty, near
the Mount Holly line. 1t is southwest
OF Ludlow and not over three miles in a
straight line from the heart of the viii

demand for the juice continues fairly
brisk until New Years. To obtain the
apples for his cider he travelled as far
east as Fairlee and Bradford, where be
found the best appIes for making cider,
and purchased as many apples as could
be spared by farmers in Wiliamstown,

What a lesson in thrift does
Vermont teach !"
This is the sort of appreciation
that counts for something, and a
significant feature is the fact that
these deposits have increased al
most by 10 or IL years, or since the
local option law went into effect.
There may perhaps be no con-
nection between the adoption of the
local option law and marked in
crease in the savings bank and
other bank deposits, but it seems
fair to assume that with the adop-
ton of one fair, temperate, and
practical measure the state took on
progress in other directions.
AT all events, make such inter
probation of it as we will, it is a
a fact that Vermont has prospered,
thrift has grown, and we are lend

Considering the Spy.

Although Mr.. Roosevelt was in
huential in securing the release of a
young American held in England as
a spy, he takes an extraordinary
view Of the lads performances. i
wish him to understand" the for
mer President says, that the Of
tense in hi2 case is not only an
offence against the law of nations
but an otfense against the law of
horror as understood by gentlemen
an offense that would unfit him
for association with soldiers of a
high standard of professional and
personal probity and honor"
1t would be difficult to find more
misstatements in an equal number
of words. Espionage is distinctly
recognized by the law of nations,
and the manner in which spies are
to be dealt with is fully regulated.
If spying were an offense against
the law of honor as understood by
gentlemen, would Nathan Hale have
a statue in City Hall Park and
Major Andre a tomb in Westminster
Abbey? Among soldiers, only the
bravest and most resourceful are
engaged as spies. If successful,
they are honored aud rewarded by
their superiors. When they fall,
they are executed summary and
mourned by their countrymen as
heroes.
There never was any thing lgnom-
inious about a spy except the man-
ner Of his death when hanging was
the penalty. Now that a firing
squat does the business, he dies as
becomes a soldier, with his face to
the foe, having risked all and lost
all, NEW York World,
The spy is always an outrage
against good manners, and an Of
tense in good society. and an affront
against good men. His act is an in
dignity which provokes decent peo-
pie TO retaliation, not in kind, but
immediate punishment. Beyond
ibis personal social spy is the war
spy. This person takes his life in
his hand at every minute. He is al
way an outlaw and an outcast, one
cast out from home and country,
despised by the Kaiser who hires
the fool 10 do his hideous work, and
frequently shot to death as he de-
serves. such a double-dyed fool
gets his deserts, and when he is shot
the man who did his dirty work will
throw his carcass to the dogs,
As the United States is not at war
the spies who are spying all over
the United States, can spy all
they choose without danger of
death, against an honorable nation
this country. The German nation
is the most offensive in their use of
the spy-and no doubt the Allies
suffered enormously from their
spies. Spies should be abolished.
Fight as gentlemen, and let honor
stand fast.
