1t is a most novel argument against
having a standing army of greater size
than the present army of the United
States because such an army would be
hacked to pieces in case the United
States should become embroiled in a
war; yet an opponent of large stand
ing army used that statement in the ma
tional House of Representatives on Mon
day as proof positive that the United
States should not increase its army. We
suppose that the same debater would, in
following out his theory, agree that he
himself and all other American civilians
should be willing to be hacked to pieces
in place of a standing army in case some
invading army should suddenly dump
million or so of soldiers on American
soil. What, we would respectfully sub
nit, is an army for if not to stand as a
bulwark for the nation and to be hacked
to pieces, if necessary, in defense of ma
tional honor and the homes and property
of American people? A standing army
is not a toy to be set up and gazed upon
with childish joy.

Miss Anna McCabe Died Tuesday of Tu-
bercular Trouble.

Miss Anna McCabe, who for the last
year has been with her sister, Mrs. Thorn
as Elliott, ON School street, died Tuesday
forenoon, the result of tubercular trou.
BILE. Miss McCabe came here from Jer-
sey City for her health and was with
her sister for time and then retliyned
home. Later she came back and her
mother came with her and since thatstime
has been here with Mrs. Elliott. De-
ceased had reached the age of 10 years,
and is survived by her mother, who is
with her, and her sister, Mrs. Elliott. The
remains were taken by the mother to
Jersey City on Tuesday night for inter-
ment.
Miss Alyce Buck, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. S. S. Buck of this place, and
Cedric Challis Clarke, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Clarke of st. Adams, were mar
ried at the Congregational parsonage in
Essex Junction Sunday morning by Rev.
Z. 0. Foster, and the same day returned
here, where the groom is temporarily en-
gagged as telegraph operator at the sta
ton. Mr. Clarke expects to leave on FRI
day for Richford to remain for time,
and the bride, who is one of Randolph's
popular young ladies. will remain here
for the present with her parents.
The general science class, which num-
bers about 20 of the high school, had
bread and roll contest on Monday, when
the young ladies gave of the fruit of their
labors in bread and roll making. Bertha
EDDY won the first prize for bread max
ing and Florence Noble the second, and
Dorothy Spooner came off first for roll
making and Olive Rix second.
Miss Mary Evans, died at the Center
on Tuesday forenoon, the result of tu-
berculsr trouble and also heart disease,
Of which she had long been afflicted. Miss

ID the high school and graduated from
the teacher training course.

accessible TO approach by either cavalry
or infantry. Moreove, in case Villa il
detected it will be possible to make swift
report to the bulk of the punitive forces,
far swifter report than under the old
form of messenger service in wild coun,
try; and thus the pursuing forces can be
brought up with greater dispatch than
could be accomplished under other con-
ditions. There viii be no great danger
to the aviators as far as attack is con-
cerned because it is not probable that
the Villa bands are equipped with guns
specially adapted for driving off air ma
chimes. and thus it will be possible for
them TO descend to air levels much low
er than is permitted the aviators en-.
gagged in the great war across the ocean.
We expect the aviation corps of the
United States army to give good ac-
count of itself, or to reveal that the
United States is extremely backward in
taking up this important branch OF army
service If the latter should prove to be
the case it will constitute serious re-
Election on our progressiveness.

CLAIMS HIGH HONOR
Lovers of Old Yeocomico Church Claim Washington Was
 Christened There.

N N ANY residents Of Westmore-
 h land county. Virginia who
 are descended from colonial
 families. assert that Wash ington was christened in old Yeocom- ico church, one of the aaaintest and most interesting of the old churches of America. They have no record eyi- dence to offer in support of their con tention, for the registers of the parish during the colonial period were de- stroyed in the Revolutionary war. and for proof of the great honor claimed for that church they can only point to a local tradition that he was chris tened in "old Yeocomico," and to an ancient letter bearing on the subject However, traditions. or at least those of Virginia, are not to be brushed lightly aside. and in the absence of authentic record evidence are at least worthy of consideration in arriving at q conclusion as to any doubtful matter of history.

 Leith stared hard and looked con fused and startled, as ne read the words:

He had helped, guided and shielded the bright natured but impetuous young fellow. Leith had even secured him employ ment with the business house of which he was manager in order that he might watch and direct him. Mir Merriam was stern, austere mHn and it had cost both money and patience to control the peccadillos of the younger Merriam.
 More recently Harry seemed to have turned over a new leaf. in order to get him away from his old associates, only the week previous Leith had sent him on a selling tour. Now an echo of the past defections of Harry had come to the surface as menace. With all his influence, Leith doubted if his employers would retain Harry when they learned of his gambling habits.
 An, at all hazards the changed course of the weak and struggling must not be crossed! Leith arrived at a speedy decision. He winced as he realized the great sacrifice he was called on to make. Then his lips drew firm and resolute. He forgot all save the urgency Of the moment, tossed the letter on his desk, picked ap his hat and hurried from the office, leaving word that he would return in all hour.
 Fifteen minutes later Mir. Merriam called, according to appointment. He was shown into the office Of the man .yer, where ne decided to await ais return.

 Leith only nodded. He was in a pleasant dream and did not want to be disturbed. In four days he was to marry Vera Merriam. He had every thing to be thankful for.
