Webster's Power Over Audience.

An interesting anecdote Of Daniel
Webster is found in "Bygone Days in
Boston" in the North American Re-
view. Webster was delivering an adj
dress in Faneuil hall on the necessity
for individual exertion and unfiinch-
ing patriotism to avert the dangers
that threatened the political party
whose principles he espoused, when
he perceived a terrible sway Of the
packed assembly, consequent on the
rush of those endeavoring to enter,
and noted the danger that might en-
sue. The orator stopped short in the
middle Of sentence, advanced to the
edge Of the platform, extended his
arms in an authoritative attitude, and,
in a stentorian voice of command,
cried out: Let each man stand flrm!"
The effect was instantaneous. Each
man stood firm; the great. heaving
mass Of humanity gained its equilib-
rum, and, save the long breath of re-
lief that filed the air, perfect stiffness
ensued. THAT" exclaimed the great
orator, els what we call self-govern-
ment!" so apt an illustration of the
principle he was expounding that the
vast audience responded with deafen-
ing cheers.

Some Auto Catastrophes

Last Friday morning Deputy Sheriff
Howard Stevens brought over in his auto
Sheriff Town from Morrisville to trans
act some business at the comfy Jail. All
went we'll until Howard attempted to
make short turn in approaching the
west end of the jail The space was too
narrow and the machine side-swiped the
corner of the veranda, knocking out a
portion of the same and breaking head
light on the auto and 'dscombobolating"
the mud-guards. Howard stuck to the
auto, but it is said that the Sheriff made
leap that outclassed any of the gymnas-
tic features given at the recent County
Fair.
Last Saturday evening while returning
to this village Lucus Noyes' auto collid-
ed with machine No. 155. owned by L. E.
Whitney of Eden Mills. The scene of
the accident was this side of the Wiswell
school house on the broad state road.
Noyes claims that he was we'll out of the
road and that the other machine (said by
some to be driven by a woman) wobbled
squarley into him. As result the Noyes
machine had forward wheel broken, an
axle bent the fender battered, while the
other machine and both forward wheels
doubled under and received other serious
damage. Fortunately the occupants of
both cars escaped injury. Whitney says
that the light of Noyes' car so dazzled
him that he couldn't see where he was
going. Evidently the Whitney car was
on a Joy ride, as the lady occupants
scampered into the Matthews barn near
by as soon as the collisi on occurred.

Five Kinds Of Ihunderstorms.

Recent study of thunderstorms has
resulted in sciences dividing them
into five distinct types. They are the
heat thunderstorms which occur in
regions Of high temperature and near
ly uniform pressure; storms which
occur in the southeast quadrant of an
almost circular cyclone; storms which
occur between two anticyclones; and
those which occur on the boundary be-
tween warm and cold waves. OF these,
all but the first ar produced by the
over and undermining of winds of
different temperatures, which in some
way not yet understood, cause masses
of moist air to rise.

Not a New Religion
Editorial in The Lewiston CMe) lou,

Editorial in The Lewiston (Me.) Journal }
one of the greatest marvels of the
present age is the spiritual awaken
ing that has come into public notice
during the last quarter of a century.
More wonderful still is the fact that
this tremendous uplift in society has
almost wholly been brought about by
the prophetic vision of lone woman
struggling against a hostile world
Christian Science does not claim to
be a new religion, but is simply a re-
vival and restitution of the teachings
Of Christ Jesus. 1t has met with the
same reception that has been faced
by every other reform. Material sci
ence was fast lettering the minds of
men and decimating the pews of ev-
cry church when Mrs. Eddy appeared,
bringing her message on the wings
of truth and love- Her reception was
that of every other great reformer,
for the world never willingly accepts
new idea. And yet she simply
brought the exact doctrine that was
taught by Jesus on the far-off shores
OF Galilee. 1t was he who said to his
disciples: GO we into all the world,
and preach the gospel And
these signs shall follow them that be-
Heve They shall take up SER
penis; and If they drink any deadly
thing, 1t shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover" HE that believeth
on me, the works that l do shall he
do also; and greater works than
these shall he do" This was the re-
ligion of early Christianity. 1t was
the uniting of faith and works, and
it was this that built up the early
church.
For three hundred years after the
crucifxion the disciples followed this
injunction and healed the sick, as
they had been hidden to do by the
Master. 1t was this that helped to
overcome the materialistic opposition
to their work, and It is this
feature that is propelling Christian
Science forward with such tremen-
dous strides. This is but a portion of
the work of Christian Science, as the |
spiritual uplift is even greater, and
by its teachings men are coming
nearer to God.
There is scarcely a community in
the world today where cases of mar
velous healing may not be found,
and on every side sin, sickness and |
discord are disappearing from the |
Of men. The prayers |
Of its advocates are those of affirma-
ton, but never of supplication.
Christian Scientists abuse no other !
religious faith, but extend the hand |
Of brotherly affection to all.
A religion of such broad sympa-
thies and tolerance as Christian Sci
ence will dispel the gloom that has
surrounded the tomb, and It can new
er die. Whether you believe in it or
not, it does its good work still, and
his will continue.

Letter From the Border

EAGLE PASS, TEXAS, Aug. "a, 1915.
Dear Folks at Home:
l received your letter on Monday and
have written card or two but have not
seemed to find time to write letter be-
fore now and may not be able to finish
this before am called out to do some
fatigue work or drill
Since the company came in from Indio
Ranch there has been enough work for
every one of the men in it. At 5:45 a. m.
the bugle sounds first call, and at six the
men all have to be in their places in ranks.
Then the men are dismissed for about
fifteen minutes, in which time they wash
up, police the street and tents and fall in
line for mess. After mess is eaten and
the dishes washed, the men fall in ranks
again and go on march which usually
usually lasts until noon. On this march
maneuvers of all sorts are carried out,
such as digging trench about three feet
| long by eighteen inches wide and two
feet deep, for each man, and then OPEN
ing fire upon an imaginary enemy. Some
times the company is split up into squads
that are sent out as skirmishers, or some
times the company is merely used for a
reserve force for the other companies in
the regiment. On Saturdays the entire
company, including the cook and kitchen
police, have to 60 out on practice
march for fifteen or twenty miles. When
the company has returned from the
march the men have me, IS again, and
have about an hours rest. Then they |
report at one o'clock for fatigue work.
Siuce the company returned to camp this |
work has consisted of setting up tents,
digging dicthes, building mess hall and |
putting floors in some of the tents. This
work lasts until 4:S0, when the company |
does drill again for an hour. Thenwhen
mess is eaten again and everyone stands
retreat, then work is over for the day,
unless there is extra fatigue.
Last Friday night there was rain J
storm. Talk about storms! never saw
anything like it before. Nothing up in
Vermont ever could compare with it that
can remember Of 1t struck the camp
about twelve o'clock and lasted all night
and most of the next day, although it let
up to some extent at day break. 1t took
down tent after tent and tore down one
cook shack. Co. was the only com
pany in the regiment that did not lose
tent. Probably because we knew how to
put them up.
see by the paper that the Governor
is gong to call an extra session of tie
Legislature at Montpelier to see about
the state allowing state pay to the boys
and men on the border. Well, hope
they vote to pay us something for we
need it and especially the men with de- .
pendent families. Most all of us lost q
great deal of clothing in the storm the
other night.
Out on march the other day one of
the fellows killed rattlesnake. 1t was l
only about foot long and had four rat !
lies. 1t was the first rattlesnake have
seen alive. However, 1 have seen several
brought into camp that were dead that
were over seven feet in length.
Well, think l have written about all
the news about camp and our work, so |
will close.
