SPEAKER STUCK ON THE BAR
And Comment Of irreverent Auditor
Did Not Tend TO Make Situation
Any Easier.

A Hiram correspondent says that
the news department refuses to report
speech recently delivered in his
town, and he appeals to us to give it
a place in our columns. Well 60 just
this far:
He was quoting tenderly Tennyson's
beautiful poem, Crossing the Bar"
and he got one of the lines this way:
"And may there be no barring Of
the moan, when put out to sea-
One OF his hearers put in: There
won't be, If your friends know that
you sail under the British flag"
THAT isn't what / meant to say"
replied the speaker in confusion. Il
should have said:
"And may there be no marring Of
the bone, when put out to sea-
"There won't be II you're careful to
jump free of the propeller" chuckled
his irreverent auditor. And the speak
er gave up.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

ASSASSIN HOLT FIRED CAPITOL BOMB
Holt Makes Statement.

Glen Cove, N. Y, July Crank
Holt, the man who shot ]. P. Morgan,
is the man who set the bomb that ex-
ploded in the United States Capitol
at Washington Friday night. In a
statement to Justice Luyster and
Thomas Tunney. head Of the bomb
and explosive squad of the New York
City Detective Bureau, Holt confessed
setting the bomb, and described it in
detail. II made this bomb" Holt is
quoted as having said, in his confes-
sion, with three sticks Of dynamite,
some match-heads and bottle of sui
phuric acid"
Holt made the following statement
about the shooting:
"My home is in Dallas, Tex. have
a wife and children and am 40 years
old. l was born in this country, and
80 were my father and mother. My
ancestors were French and German;
it was all mixed up. / received de-
gree of doctor of philosophy from Cor

ceal my identity and registered un-

conceived the idea to see j. P. Nor.
gan, and get him to use his influence
in stopping the expectation Of arms,
which make you and me responsible
for the murder which is going on over
there.
Il could not go from manufacturer
to manufacturer myself, but thought
that Mr.. Morgan's banking connec-
tions would render it more easy for
him to accomplish this. l have not
been influenced to do this by anybody
else. think President Wilson's notes
were fine-but they did not seem
to do anything to stop the war.
Il came down here from New York
to put my ideas before Mr.. Morgan,
but depended upon him to formulate
the plan. OF course l did not mean
to shoot Mr.. Morgan, but l intended
to stay there until something was
done. had a stick of dynamite in my
pocket; had thought it might come
in handy, somehow. Some fool has
said that had nitro-glycerine in my
suit case, but that was only benzine
to clean my clothes
II went up to the house and got by
the butler and walked up stairs. had
my gun in my hand. In the hall on
the second floor met Mr. Morgan. A
woman whom took to be his wife
immediately preceded him down the
hall. She screamed and jumped away
from where-I don't know exactly
where. Mr.. Morgan did not give me a
chance to say anything. He jumped
at me and grappled with me and l
fired in the air, thinking to scare him.
They tell me hit him. don't know,
for somebody hit me on the head.
II hope Mr.. Morgan is not badly
hurt. I admire Mr.. Morgans courage
in graphing with me. If he would
only use his courage in the right d.
rection, and for the right things, he
will get somewhere and do something
worth while"

been connected with other bomb out

TWO EXTENSION SCHOOLS
Will Be Held At East Hardwick and
DanviIle This Winter.

Tuesday evening of last week COun-
ty Agent Leland A. Wood, attended a
meeting of the neighborhood oranges
at Greensboro and gave a short talk
on the Agricultural Extension schools
two of which are to be held in Gale
donia county this year, one at East
Hardwick and the other at Danville.
These schools are held under the
auspices of the Agricultural Extension
Service, University of Vermont, and
State Agricultural College and will be
similar to those held at LyndOnvillC
and Peacham last year.
The purpose of the extension school
is to promote the agricultural interests
in the county. Various subjects will
be taken up covering all the phases of
farming such as dairying, feeding,
balancing rations, fruit growing, poul.
try raising, soils, drainage and fertili-
zers. The county agent will undoubt-
eddy give the results of the demonstra-
tons that have been carried on in the
county during the past year. There
will be one evening session which will
consist of a lecture illustrated with
lantern slides.
The schools will be held in the win
ter at dates which will be announced
later. Each school will begin Monday
at one O'CLOCK ana commune through
Friday afternoon. There will be two
speakers besides the county agent.
Part of each hour will be taken up in
discussion periods. AT the place
where there is the greater demand al
instructor from the home economics
department will give talks to the wo
men on the problems relating to
housekeeping.
There are no fees for attending any
of these meetings. except the renta'
of well heated and lighted hall. These
schools afford opportunities to. heaI
some of the best men in the state lee
ture and it is hoped there will be E
good crowd at each session.

GEr.roGETHER BANQUET
Good Entertainment BY Local Talent
At Meeting of Commercial Club.


As was announced in an earlier is.
sue the Commercial Club will hold o
''get-together' meeting at the Pythian
hall, on Thursday evening at O'Clock
sharp. The program for the evening
is more or less varied.
During the evening the club will be
favored with a monologue by f. o
French. Music will also be furnished
by the Academy orchestra. This O
course is positive proof that the mem
bers will be in receptive frame of
mind for the more serious part of the
evenings program.
AS the important part of the eve
ning's work, the executive committee
is going to outline the plan of work
for the year. This plan is the result
of the suggestions made by prominent
men of St. Johnsbury. At a meeting
of the executive committee last Thurs
day all suggestions were arranged as
a broad, well-balanced and important
plan of work for the year. In order
to aid the members in comprehending
the plan, printed slips will be distri-
buted outlining the proposed work.
The different phases will then be pre-
scented. z. S. Waterman will explain
the commercial side, Mr.. Hooker the
Industrial side, and w. H. Young the
plans for civic development.
Lastly, Rev. Paul Dwight Moody has
been asked to give a talk, which of
course will be in his usual snappy
way. The meeting promises to be an
unusually profitable and interesting
one, and should be attended by every
one interested in Commercial Club af'
fairs or in the development and pros
perity of st. Johnsbury. 1t is also
highly desirable that everyone inter.
ested in community welfare should in
form himself concerning the proceed.
ings of the club whether he is able tc
attend or not.
