papers; ! therefore wrote Governor
Gates and have now his answer: He
says:
Il took the matter in hand to learn

and found that the reports printed in
one of the New York papers were
intended to apply only to the women's
organization. A letter from Oscar
Strauss ct ais was forwarded to Bis
hop Bliss, chairman of the Vermont

difficulty as due to bungling of the
New York press reports. The COVER

that not as much can be done as could
have been accomplished if it had not
been for these reports and the leteer
closes with thanks, under the circum-
stances, quite undeserved.

THE WHIP IN RIFLE BARRELS.
It Is Caused by the Pressure of Mod
ern High Power Powder.


The use of high power powder in ri
fies has given rise to phenomenon
which did not exist in black powder
days. This Is known as whip" and Is
due to the pressure and vibration set
UP by the powder. 1t is constant with
given loads and Is always in tile same
direction.
Sights are aligned by the inanufac-
turer to compensate for this whip in
proportion to the powder charge used.
In firing auxiliary cartridges ii will Of
ten be found that the rifle shoots Off
center. AS matter of fact the bullet
from the auxiliary is travelling in a
true line with the bore, and it is the
sights that are wrong. The lighter
charge or the auxiliary does not pro-
dice the usual whip, with the result
that the line in prolongation of the
bore Of the rifle along which the bullet
travels is, not the line given by the
alignment of the sights. fa,ss 4,

major axis of the bullet due to the
force of the charge. 1t was peculiar to
black powder fred behind lead bullets
and does not exist to any appreciable
extent in metal iacketed bullets with
smoieless powder. In the latter case
the charge burns more slowly and the
jacket stiffens the bullet against the
sudden blow from behind.-Outing.

Next Entertainment in North Ben.

The next number in the entertain

will consist of concert by the Royal
Male Quartette. Everyone will re-
member the number in previous years
given by the Strollers as one of the
best entertainments i'll the courses.
So good were they, indeed, that they
were accepted as Chautauqua artists.
Public opinion, as well as private judg
ment. indicate that the Royals are full
ly up to the standard OF the Strollers.
This Is the seventh season OF their
concert work and they are. therefore,
we'll initiated and seasoned. They
are to present both vocal ana instru-
mental music which promises to be of
a high order.
The popularity OF the Suwanee Riy-
er Q,iartette was shown by the large
and enthusiastic audience that greet
ed them last month. The members
OF the Royal Quartette are Of differ
ent hue and their work is OF a charac-
ter which corresponds well with the
clean-cut expression OF the men "be-
hind the gun" Everyone who heard
the sSuwanees Will surely wish to lis
ten TO the Royals for they are by no
means void OF humor. The price of
admission is the same as for the
Suwanees and the enjoyment of the
number bids fair to be equally great.

O'Clock Sunday afternoon. Six weeks
ago he suffered a shock. From this
affliction he made such recovery that
the members of his family and friends
had hopes that he would. again be able
to assume the direction OF his affairs.
A second attack three weeks ago SO
reduced his vitality that it had since
been evident that the end was not far
away. Sunday there had been no ap-
preciable change in his condition and
the quiet and peaceful passing away
was without promotion.
Edward Livingston Sibley was born
in Bennington May "a, 1865, the son
of Tarrant and Maria NJ Sibley. He
was educated in the local schools and
graduated from Williams college in
1876. Upon leaving college he became

er lie succeeded his father as probate
judge and continued in the office for
ten years. He studied law and was
admitted to the Bennington county
bar but never practiced TO any great
extent. s8bt sstf'

POWER OF REPETITION
Boring into Public Attention Daily
viii Get Results.

Wul 0Ct hGopito.
There is no power upon the human
mind as great as the power OF repeti
tion. The Mohammedan and some
other religious teachers show vicious
understanding OF this fact in their
educational methods--you may see
poor children, day after day. hour af
ter hour, reciting the Koran. They
are brutalized but they know the
Koran, Repetition gets it into their
heads.
The Roman in the senate using the
same words every time he spoke
caused, by repetition, the destruction
OF Carthage Political parties, and
men who advertise, and those that
teach good habits to the, young learn
that the one great force is repetition.

ly repeated.
The courtship which eliminates in
marriage consists largely of the repe-
tition of the same sentence millions
of times. 1t sounds duh to outsiders
but it brings results.
To teach or persuade, or frighten
or interest you must first know what
it is that will give the result you de-
sire and then repeat that thing.
Don't let anybody mislead you in
to the thought that brilliancy or wit
or great variety can possibly take
repetition's place. afM sHoj45
If you were locked up oin stone

you would start toemake a hole and
you would keep boring at the same
spot. That is repetition l8A
The business man who is locked in
by the stone walls of competition,
limited to his neighborhood and who
wants to get out into the fresh air of
big success, must do what the prison
err would do in his cell. 6h
You must say the right thing; you
must choose your tool intelligently.
You cannot dig your way out of a
stone cell with tallow candle.
Get good thing, then use tire
peat it. Remember that the purpose
of advertising is not the display OF
our ingenuity or of advertising liter
airy athletics. The object is to con.
vince and to sell.
Bore your hole into public attention
by the daily statements and you will
get results.
Keep boring in the same place
