"BRoTHER JONATHAN"
Career Of the Patriot Who Cave Us
This Lasting Title.

Jonathan TrlnlbEli, the original
Brother Jonathan,' was born on Oct.
IT,. 171O, in Lebanon, Conn. lie was
graduated from Harvard college in
1921, Pre- .rhel Il few years, then stud
led law, and at the age of twenty
three years he was Il member OF the
assembly. He was chosen lieutenant
governor in 1866 and became eX o.tici,
hei Justice Of the superior court. III
1853 he refused to take the oath Ell
,oinel ON officers of the crown, and Ill
the following year he was chosen GOV
ernor. He was the only colonial GOV
ernor who eSpoused the cause OF the
people in their struggle for justice and
Independence,
In the absence at congress of the
Adamses and Hancock from New Eng
land Trumbull was considered the
Wing leader in that region, and Wash
ington always placed implicit reliance
upon his patriotism and energy. When
Washington took charge Of the Cont
found it in want of ammunition and
other supplies, and this want contin
uel more or less for months. Trum
bull was then governor of Connecticut
On one occasion at Il council of war,
when there seemed to be no way to
make provision against an attack by
the enemy Washington said, I'VE
must consult Brother Jonathan on this
subject" He did so, and the governor
was successful in supplying many of
the needs of the army.
When the army was afterward
spread over the country and Difficult
ties arose it was common saying
among the officers as Il byword, I'VE
must consult Brother Jonathan.' The
origin of this phrase was eventually
lost sight OF, and Brother Jonathan"
became a title of our nationality, like
John Bull of England. Trumbull

CHAMPION HIGH JUMPER.
An African Antelope That Can Clsa
More Than Twenty Feet.

The pallah, species of African ante
lope, is probably the greatest living
high jumper. Travellers have often as
serted that this beast could jump more
than twenty feet high Mr.. Cottar, all
old African hunter, saw number of
these antelopes leap over the tops Of
some small trees, and then he meas
ured the trees They We're fifteen feet
high
The animals have the curious habit
of jumping over one another's backs.
either when frightened or when simply
playing. 1t is an ordinary sight on an
African veldt to see a herd of these
antelope jumping over one another like
boys playing leapfrog. When frighten
ed the first impulse Of herd of pallail
is to rush together; then they begin
lcaping, one after another, going high
into the air, clearing small trees, theil
mates, other antelopes or anything else
that gets into the way, They do not
require d run before the take off, but
jump as we'll from standing position
as with running start.
The lion was long supposed to make
tremendous bounds when charging his
prey. but modern sportsmen say that Il
lion runs low to the ground bounding
into the air only on his last leap when
he expects to strike. Even such
bounds. they say, are OF no great
length. Stewart Edward White says

don't give up the first, not by any man

and the crab with teeth in their stom

process with their stomachs while they

They chew with their claws what they

job down to their stomachs to do the
rest of the chewing.

GOODRICH MAY BE
 NEW POSTMASTER
His Name Was Sent to President
 Wilson for Appointment.
HELD POSITION BEFORE
H. l.. Porter to Be Retired After Thirty Years of Service-Ofice Made Third Class Four Years Ago Salary Decreased $1OO Last Month.

A. B. Goodrich has received notice from Homer s. Cummings that his name has been sent to the president for postmaster at the Berlin office. It is probable the name will be sent t. the senate within the next two days for confirmation. There has been much conjecture about town the past few months regarding the office. Many favored the retention of the present postmaster, H. L. Porter, and several letters were sent to National Committeeman Cummings by promi- nent citizens. MT. Porter is a Civil war veteran and this was considered a good reason for his continuance in the office by his many friends. MT. Goodrich has always been an ardent democrat, despite several rumors to the contrary. The office will be no new one to MT. Goodrich for he held the same position from 1895 to 1899 having been appointed by President Cleveland It will probably be a month before he assumes the office.
 On the twenty-third of the past 1ionth, Postmaster H. L. Porter com p!eted thirty years as postmaster of the local office He was first ap-
 
 and served until 1895. MT. Goodrich then received the office and held it until 1899, when the republican ad- Ininistration returned MT. Porter. The office until four years ago was fourth class and the salary was Seckoned by the amount of cancella- ton. It was approximately $700. Four years ago it was advanced to third class with a salary of S1, 300. T. remained at that figure until a month ago, when the salary was re- duced to s14OO because of a slight falling off in the amount of business.
 MT. Porter said this morning that 'he had received no official notice of fhe impending change. He has always been on the job since holding the position and many citizens will re- gret his retirement.
 Not Registered Republican.
 Since MT Goodrich announced his intention of running for the post rnastership there has been a story cir 'culated about town that hc is a re- publican. This he denied this morn ing. It is said that two years ago just prior to the town election, he was approached by a friend who was de- sirous of being an off1ceholder and asked to change his registration to the republican party He refused and when the friend was leaving the yard he said: Well, I'll enter it anyway.' This was done, for according to Regis @rar Morse, Mir Goodrich's name has heen on his list since that time. Mir. Goodrich says he has never attended a

dict fine duck hunting this fall, al

soon as the season opens.
The high water this year prevented
them from nesting on the river and.
except for the wood ducks, which al
ways stay, there will be no duck shoot
ing until the fiocks from the north
come in October or the last of Sep
TENDER. Quite number of wood
ducks and few snipe have been seen
by hunters recently and the game
warden has been around within the

WANT LOAN BANK IN STATE
Prominent Wisconsin Men Present Pc
tition at Federal Board Hearing.
Favor Location at Madison.

Madison - Prominent agriculturists
and business men appeared before the
federal farm loan board at its session
here today and urged that one Of the
twelve banks be located in the central
part of the state. The strongest argu-
ment in favor of the location of one of
the banks in Madison has become to
be recognized through the influence of
its great agricultural college one of
the most progressive and influential
farming centers in the middle west.
Through the influence of the agricultu-
raj college, it was argued, the federal
farm loan bank would be brought in
closer touch with the farmers in Mad
ison than any other point in the mid
die west.

Wounded Doctor Recovering.

Superior DR.. J. G. Barnsdale, who
was shot four times by Mrs. G. Mil
ward Smith (Miss Helen Stewart) is
improving rapidly. DR.. Barnsdale is
largely caring for his own case. At
the time Of the shooting it was thought
that his wounds would prove fatal and
when physicians discovered that one
bullet lay in each lung his case was
considered almost hopeless. The cause
of the shooting is still shrouded in
mystery.
