to canvass the district from which
Company | might be expected to draw
men, for the names and addresses of
all acceptable men who will enlist for

are received to recruit the company
to full war strength
A war footing is l03 men and Off

within very few of the peace strength
limit.
Capt. Gibson las no knowledge
other than that contained in the order
as to the prospect of being called up
on to further recruit the company, but
he considers the order an indication
that officers high in authority are by
no means confident that it will not be
necessary ultimately to call upon the
National Guard of the states for ac-
tive service.
Capt. Gibson began Immediately

HAPPY MISSED CONVENTION
Peruvian Reached Burlington Too
Late to Attend Progressive Gather

Though the verdure of spring, the
song OF the birds at early dawn and
the conversation of many frogs in
the cleaning conduce to make life in
Peru Zone grand, sweet song,' these
essentials of the idyllic fail to appeal
just at present to Vermont s champion
of the :. great out doors Marshall j.
IIapgood.
Ordinarily "Marsh - that's what
the natives label Peru's publicity di-
rector-is not inclined to notice the
shadows but today he wears a frown
and there IS something strangely akin
to a sob in his voice as he relates how
he got his dates mixed thereby miss
ing the Bull Moose state convention
last week in Burlington.
Mr.. Hapgood reached the city on the
shore of Champlain about "a hours af-
ter DR.. ii. Nelson jackson had raped
the gavel for final adjournment. No
one told the Peruvian that the show
was over, and that the actors had de
arted until next day. Then, only, by
accident. did Happy is the
title conferred upon Mr.. Hapgood by
his legion (2) of legislative friends
discover that he had, so to speak been
distanced, in fact left so far behind the
bunch at the finish he resembled a man
who had been chained to a stake.
There was nothing for Mr. Hapgood
to do but send telegram to his friend
at Manchester who is in the black
smith business. The message was la
COMIC 1t read: Have my horse
shod. - The horse had nothing to do
with Mr.. Hapgood' disappointment
but the blow came upon him so sudden
ly he could think of nothing else but
his faithful steed back in Bennington
county waiting for its master to dis
tnguish himself ON the floor of the
Progressive state convention. Mr..
Hapgood got his message to the smithy
on the wires and left Burlington for
Montpelier to attend the Republican
state convention the following day, de-
tcrmined that he would be on hand if
he had to spend the night on the steps
of the city hall.
Mr.. Hapgood s official, personal and
authorized explanation of how he got
his wires crossed and missed the fun
and dinner at one of Max Powell s ho
tells reads like this:
an. j. Hapgood of Peru is much
disappointed man. He is booked as n
" Progressive Republican and intend
cd to attend both of the state conven
tons last week but missed the Progress
sive installing the date. His chief OBJ
ject of interest is the direct ballot for
President at the regular November
elections, and he purposed to get it
adopted at the Progressive convention,
and be delegated by it to get it adopt
ed by the Republican convention also,
thus placing them. in very important
matter, upon common ground for ac
ton. President Roosevelt had person
ally expressed himself to him as
strongly in favor of it, and, possibly,
it may get due attention at Chicago
yet.

HUNTING FOR MECHANICS.
Representative from New Jersey Con.
Germ ON Lookout for Help.

R. NJ. Bascombe, who was at the
Brooks House Thursday, May %, Sc
curing mechanics for the Simplex Auto
and Aero company of New Brunsdick,
n. j., is having some interesting ex-
periences in landing men who are al
ready employed in other machine shops.
The concern he represents manufac-
lures the Simplex automobile, one of
the most expensive of the high grade
automobiles. The company has been
recognized and capitalized and is to
greatly increase the output of these
machines besides making aero engines
under its own patents.
Mr. Bascombe says that the engine
the company is manufacturing is the
best engine for aeroplane service ever
devised and that the government has
closed a contract with the concern by
which all the engines for the govern
ment aeroplanes are to be made there.
At Windsor, where he said he had
signed 200 mechanics, he was ordered
out of the hotel which is owned by
the machine company and did bust
ness ON the curbing, the agreements
between the men and the company in
those instances being signed in PEN
ell. An attempt was made to have him
arrested on the charge of conducting
an unlicensed employment bureau, but
as no money transaction was involved,
he said the attempt fell through.
Somewhat similar experiences he says
he had in ClaremOnt, n. H., where he
secured a large number of men. He
came from there TO Brattleboro and
claimed to have signed a number of
men in the afternoon and more i'll the
evening.
