attitude of business men throughout

Mr.. johnson asked the cooperation
of business men in making the prl-

transportation act a success.
''The railways" he added, "consti-

ST. ALBANS, VERMONT.

st. Adams, so | sposed for years,
Had all creation by the ears;

All other towns for Smiths and cars ;

Was thick as inch marks on square /;
The smoke from off the boundary fire
Rose higher than the Congo spire.
I'd always heard the town could do
More business, and / 'blieye twas true,
Than Fitchburg, Troy or Hudson

Or old Quebec with all its walls;
Great Bsrnum brought along his show
As fast as elephants could go;
No place on earth, he bet, could beat
st. Adams as a circus seat.
The Weldon house was known as well
The country round. as Young's hotel;
The constant cash-draw slam and

Resulted soon in Welden's bank;
The Franklin cows give down their Ill
And made June butter up to fall;
The Boston papers told the price
And kept the cows affecting nice
The news from all around the state,
1t always bore an Albans date;
When any squire or lady died,
Or any rogue was ketched and tried,
Ar any June bug seen in May.
Or peewee on Thanksgiving day,
The railroad village knew it first
And had the thrilling stuff disbursed
You'd see inside the railroad yard
A dozen engines breathing hard;
And all along the side tracks stood
A dozen horsepowers saving wood;
And rafting powers" the scaping
steam
The moaning saws, the whistles
scream,
They all and singular combined
To obfuseate the gazing mind.
An old and good New England town

The Glee club with distinction sung.

NATIONAL CONGRESS ON PARKS
Is to Be Held at Des Moines from Jan
10 to Jan. IL.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 29.-Iowa has
achieved such remarkable results IN
state park creation and development
| that the first national conference on
parks is to be held here Jan. 1912 un-
der Joint auspices Of the department
of the interior and the state. Experts
from every state viii be present to
discuss park problems and incidental
" to learn how Iowa has been able to
do so much.
Ninetv-seven out of every one hun
dred acres in Iowa are capable of cul-
tivation. according to official statistics,
leaving only three per cent OF park
! able land. That three per cent, how
ever. contains some interesting outdoor
things. The Indian mounds, for in
stance. several hundred of which are
scattered over the state, are in minor
wav to the United States what the
pyramids are to Egypt. relics OF an
ancient civilization. About nifty OF
the mounds are within state parks,
while the Others will be included in the
marks TO be laid out in the future.
Some of them have been despoiled Tor
their treasures oftpottery, beads and
fighting implements, but many remain
intact and officials Of the Iowa histori-
cal department hope some day to have
an ADEQUATE collection OF the utensils
which the first Americans used in their
every day life.
The ice caves of Iowa are another
interesting part of its park system.
They owe their existence, probably, to
those prehistoric seas which once COW
cred this territory. for they are found
in limestone regions. where the roclT1s
porous In the winter these casties
store up cold air. When summer comes
and the corn begins to grow under the
impulse of a burning sun, the frigid
air escapes slowly, coating the mouth
of the caves with rime and hoar-frost.
These caves in turn give rise to one
of the most interesting botanical phe-
nomenon of this county--the survival
in Iowa of trees and showers that have
their normal range far to the north.
While Iowa swelters, the temperature
of the soil on the rocks near the caves
remains at 80 to 80 degrees aud there
frequently grow the balsam fir of the
north woods and the seonite or monks
hood of the mountains. In Iowa parks
may be seen the most southwestern
distribution Of white pine in the Unit
ed States. While in western Iowa are
found arid plants commonly associ-'
ated with the desert and high noun
tain plateaus Of the far west.
Many other states doubtless could
provide equally good attractions for
parks at home and that is what the
national conference on parks service

the national park service, will be here

MISLEADING TALES.
Not True That Old California Missions
Had Gold Treasures.

There are very many silly tales in
books concerning the old FRANCISCAN
missions in California, but the silliest
of them all is that one which Is for
ever cropping up to the effect that
many hundreds of thousands of dollars
in gold were located in these establish
ments.
One has only to ask ones self, Where
did this huge store of money come
fromy California had little traffic with
the outside work in the days of the
missions. Hides and tallow were
traded to Yankee ships for clothing
and ornaments, but not for money.
And gold had not vet been discovered
here.
Next TO Junipero Sierra himself, the
most respected figure in the early his.
tory of California is Padre Lasuen.
Even Bancroft glows over Lasuen.
Surely the word of this venerated man
NAV be taken for the truth.
When the king of Spain once sent
to the California missions for money
Padre Lasuen answered the request as
follows: "Inasmueh as the fathers
are placed in poverty by their profes-
sion. and the Indian wards by their
nature. I think that his majesty does
not want of us a temporal Offering.
/ am myself without even a stipend to
which I am entitled, and the stipends
that my brethren receive they turn
over for the Arrangement Of the mis-
sions."
Anything that purports to be his
tory must be supported by the testi-
mony Of an authentic and reliable wit
ness. And here we have the testimony
unimpeschable of Padre Lasuen.
There are a lot OF living books that
should be fed to bonfres. Angeles

Advantages of the Gas Stove.

Probably nothing has done so much
as the gas Above to make housekeep-
ing easier to-day than it was 20 years
ago. If one cannot have a full-sized
gas stove, small one with two burn
ers is invaluable as time saver.
The biggest point in the economy
of gas stove, says the Christian Her.
aid, is when your learn toeutilize all
the heat when you have chops or
steak broiling in the .broiler, have
baked or scalloped potatoes baking in
the oven; or else prepare dish OF
baked apples or bake cake or pie
with the heat which the broiler gives
off.
A gas stove seems harder to keep
clean than coal stove. This is he
cause water. grease and other liquids
spilled on coal stove are quickly
dried and the same things spilled on
gas stove remain longer. Always
rub the top of the gas stove with
newspapers crumpled up into small
and conveniently handled wads. These
can be burned when they are dirty
and really make the best kind OF
cleaners.

OBSOLETE METEoROLoGY.
Opinions of Faddist on Sleeping Gus
toms Combatted.

IVruS IL. EScHlciHhi, WIN ~ -
charge of the weather station at Lld-
ington, Mich, has recently delivered
an address upon physiological meteor
ologv, in which he said various things,
wise and otherwise, some OF the lat
ter being of very surprising nature
Mr.. Eschleman may be correct when
he says that the meteorological con
ditions most conducive to health Tor
persons seated indoors are, "tempera-
ture between 50 and 10, relative hui
midity between SO and Is per cent, ar
movement slight but positive, but
there are notable exceptions TO these
rules. Our ancestors, honored during
November and December, who got their
heat from generous freplaces and nd
eral fire water, were not seated IN
doors in any such temperatures as
the weather man suggested
The more alarming part OF the al
dress is summarized in this form;
Thousands of persons have the
same amount of cover from the time
thew fall asleep until they wake IN
the morning, though the temperature
NAV fall twenty degrees or more with
in the room. This is severe STRAIN
on the vitality. The habit of waking
in the night and adding covers should
be formed In arranging bed covers
many persons fail to put heat retain
ing LAYERS beneath them. Paper is an
excellent non conductor and few
thicknesses of wrapping paper imme-
diately under the sheet or blanket les
sens probably by one half the cover
ing needed Many persons fail to wear
night caps. One would not go out of
doors bare headed; but it is com
mon practice to lie all night .in a cold
room. Freedom from illness due 10
weather conditions is largely in pro-
portion to the effort exerted in that
direction"
Only one troubled by insomnia ac-
cording to this opinion, can arrange
the bed covers properly in New Eng
lands changing weather, and If sleep
is the principal reason for retiring it
must be side tracked for the more ur-
gent matter of adjusting ones cover
ing. including the few thicknesses of
wrapping paper.
But the browning absurditv is that
of the nightcap ands the calm asser-
ton following it that Zone would not
go out of doors bareheaded.' One
certainly would, and one might sur
vive at that, but where would one find
a nighteap? The time was. of course,
when two sorts of nghtcaps were COM
mon, one worn and the other i'm
bibed, but now the former is obsolete
and the other is impossible. Outside
of Ludington, Mich, the nightcap is
"all," as they say in Pennsylvania,
and no one wears it or drinks it. Not
even the weather bureau can restore
the textile sort to popularity.
But certainly one can 90 out Of
doors bareheaded without defying fate.
as hats came with civilization and
man existed for ages without them.
Even now we may find those who
would gladly go without them for at
least nine months in the year if they
could do so without being regarded as
eccentric. To imply that a hat is a
vital part of ones garb is to utter an
absurdity.-Hartford Courant.
