Sailor Values Charm.

The king and queen recently re-

liam. New Zealand and South African
press delegates now on visit to Great
Britain. His majesty spoke warmly of
the gallantry of the Dominions troops,
and exchanged recollections of his
empire tour of 1901 When Mr.. Pirani
of New Zealand mentioned the name
of Maggie Papakura, the Maori guide
who conducted the king round the hot
springs wonderland of Rotorua, the
king recalled her at once, and was in
terested to learn that she is now in
England. The New Zealand delegates
found that Princess Mary knew all
about the pre-war Maori prophecy con-
corning the battle-cruiser New Zea-
land-that she would go into action
within a given number Of years and
would be hit but escape serious dam
age if her captain wore Maori tiki

the prophecy came true, and so up to
date has the second. The captain
does not forget to wear his tiki.

Soldiers Humorous Explanation of
Why He Was Wearing Such
"Giddy Lingerie"

Life on the front had it's whimsicali-
ties at times in spite of rolling bar
RACES, the hail Of bullets. the jangle Of
caissons and the whining Of truck
motors. Lieut.. Harry B., Henderson
tells of a beautiful red rose on his
camp table, in a letter to the Wyoming
State, Tribune, beside an Austrian
she'll with a bit of scenery painted on
it, which served. as a paper-weight.
Then there, are incidents that excite
the ''risibles'' and afford needed d.
version to the mind. For instance:
'"The other day they were keeping
US bit busy and had my ear on top
of my head all the time deciding on
each 'whiz'' as it approached. Just in
the hottest part of it, one Of my gun
ners came tearing down a rutty road,
clad in Prince Isaac coat he'd found
in raid and wearing Boche cap.
He was pushing a baby-buggy full of
potatoes and dynamite which he
thought could use. We had the eat
ables for lunch and then blasted new
dugout with the explosive. You can't
imagine how you laugh when you've
been bit under strain for several
days of. firing, and then see something
funny. But for my sense of the proprie.
ties I'd describe the giddy lingerie the
young man was using for underwear.

Brattleboro Talking About. War
Memorial in Civic Center

Whether Brattleboro should have a
memorial building to those who have
entered the service for the govern
ment and to be used as civic center
for the young people of the town was
discuss last evening at a meeting of
about 100 interested persons in Fes-
tival hall and those present were I'M
animous in the idea that such a
building should be erected, but some
raised the question of whether it
would be best to begin raising money
for it now or wait until the Liberty
loan and other demands incident to
the war were all taken care of. A
resolution favoring a building and
naming a general committee to in
vestigate was adopted by unani-
nous vote, and other questions re-
lating to the project will be consid-
cred when the committee reports.

LOCAL NEWS

More than the usual interest at
taches to the towns vital statistics
this year because of the ravages of
the recent influenza epidemic.
Through the courtesy and thought
fulness of Town Clerk C. G. Braley,
the Caledonian is able to report on
the following figures: Deaths, PSI /;
births, 242. marriages, 81. This
death rate, however is figured on the
number of people who have died dur
ing 1913 ii st. Johnsbury, whether
their residence was this community or
not. The humber of outsiders brought
here to our two hospitals from sur
rounding towns, who succumbed to
their ailments greatly raises our rate
over what our mortality statistics
would be if confined solely to our res
idents. The figures for the year pre-
vious were: Deaths, 1856; births, POS;
marriages, 113.
