different from his successor. lie was a
person of dignity, but he also estab-
lished friendly relationship with his
guests and drew from them all the-in-
formation they would give of their own
and the world s affairs while he dis
pensed foreign and domestic strong
waters.
Gov. Thomas Chittenden was fam
Gus tavern keeper and inquisitive con
corning his guests affairs. He used
to tell with relish of rebuke from a
wayfarer who stopped to irrigate his
dusty interior at the governor s bar:
Where might you come from,
friend?'
From down below was the curt
reply.
"'And where might You be goingq''
"To Canada. -
"To Canada, indeed And what
might take you there?'
To get my pension
"a pensions? And what might you
get pension for, my friend?o
For what you never can, ] judge.
q Indeed, and what is that?''
. For minding my own business.
Col. Samuel Wells and Maj. John
Arms and their families are all buried
in the Meeting House Hill cemetery.
John Arms died in 1870. After that
his widow, Eusannah, continued the
business and was succeeded by her son
Josiah.
We have seen that Vermont was first
in food conservation. She has another
interesting thing to her credit. She was
the first to take German gun.
You will remember that during the
Revolutionary war England hired a
regiment of Hessians, German soldiers
to come over here and help them beat
he Americans. At Montpelier are two
common labelled: "Taken from the
Germans in 1777.'

SENATE ADOPTS
THE RESERVATION
Modified Form of Article 10 Proposed
Little Prospect Of Ratification
of the Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 16. = Reaf-
hrmlng its disagreement with Presi-
dent Wilson on the dominating issue of
the peace treaty controversy, the SEN
ate adopted yesterday by vote of
more than two to one the new Article
10 reservation framed by Republican
leaders.
Its action brought to an end, at least
for the present, the protracted effort
for a compromise which would insure
ratification, and the senate s action
was accepted generally as fastening the
treaty toward another deadlock from
which it could be released only by a
verdict at the polls next November.
Fourteen Democrats voted with the
united Republican membership for this
reservation, but this detection from
the administration ranks fell far short
of the number that would be required
70 ratify. 1t was conceded that others
probably would swing over on the rati-
fleatlon roll call, but administration
leaders, backed by definite assur-
ance that the reservation was unae-
ceptable to the President, evidenced
no apprehension that their forces
would dwindle beyond the danger
point. .- - -iaoel1s,l -.
The vote for adoption, So to 26,
showed on its face a two-thirds ma
lorlty for the reservation, but it by
no means indicated that two-thirds
| would vote for ratification on that
basis Included in the maiority were
the irreconcilables, holding about a
| score of votes, which on the ratification
| roll call, will be cast against the treaty.
The reservation, adopted after many
efforts to modify it had been rolled
under by the soidly united Republican
majority, follows in general form the
one adopted last November. 1t is as
follows:
80 The United States assumes no OBJ
| legation to preserve the territorial in
| tegrity or political independence of any
other country by the enforcement of
its military or naval forces, its re-
sources, or any form of economic dis
| elimination, or to interfere in any way
| in controversies between nations, in
| Guiding controversies relating to terri
torial integrity or political independ-
ence, whether members of the league
or not, under the provisions of Article
10, or to employ the military or naval
| forces of the United States, under any
article of the treaty for any purpose,
unless in any particular case, the con
| gress, which under the constitution
has the sole power to declare war or
authorize the employment of the mill
tary or naval forces of the United
| States, shall, in the exercise of full lib
erty of action, by act or joint resolu-
ton so provide

The celebration Of Americas Hath
national birthday today recalls some
interesting incidents Of the centen-
NAL celebration OF forty-four years
ago-1S76.
On account of the officia1 particle
patton in the exercises at Philadel-
phia the celebration in Washington
was mainly under the auspices of the
the opera house where the Declara-
ton of Independence was read and
an Grafton pronounced by L. A
Gobright. and everywhere the ma

While the resources of a whole ma

and centennial ovation, on a scale
eclipsing in extent and variety any
other celebration in the annals of the
republic. the day was momentouS in
every section of our reunited coun-
try. especially in the large cities.
Boston's Feature Of Interest.
An incident occurred in the Boston
celebration of the day which reveals a
name that is now before the people for
the second highest Office in their gift.

SIeuth Kept on Jump
Chasing Harding's Cap
Till Owner Discarded It

CUMBERLAND. Md, July 3.-An
uneventful automobile ride of 14o
miles brought Senator Harding and
his party to Cumberland tonight on
the way from Washington to the SEN
ator's home in Marion, Ohio.
Leaving Washington about 1 PM,
the party made about forty or fifty
miles an hour for the first half of
the trip. but on reaching feethill and
mountain roads the rate of travel was
reduced considerably.
The nominee, as well as Mrs. Har-
ding. appeared to be enjoying the trip
very much. it proving a relaxation
after strenuous week of confer-
idential candidate suffered seemed to
be difficulty in keeping his cap on
his head. After having had to stop
twice while James Sloane, the secret
service attendant, chased down the
road after the elusive head covering.
Mr.. Harding tossed the cap into the
bottom of the car and finished the
trip bareheaded.
For the most part the first days run
was made without the senator's iden-
tity becoming known. During a stop
on the mountainside shortly before
reaching Cumberland an automobile
party from East Liverpool, Ohio, rec
ognized him and stopped their ma
chine to shake hands Crowds about
the hotel here also recognized him
when his party drew up and there
was a round Of handshaking.'
Although thronged with the usual
Saturday afternoon crowds, the party
passed through the streets of Fred
erick, Hagerstown and Cumberland,
Md, without any one recognizing the
candidate with the exception of traf-
fic policeman in one Of the cities, who
saluted,
Forty miles ont from Washington
the S3rty stopped to partake of the
J luncheon brought along in a shoehox.
