Aunt Hannah

Mrs. Hannah Spaulding of Brook
field is living at the ripe old age of lOl
and attributes her length of days to
work, hard work and plenty of it..
She has always worked and enjoyed it,
she says, but she has now lost all pow
er of her right hand, and the doctors
tell her she has worked it to death.
Accepting that theory of the medicine
men, it is logical to expect that mod
ern damsels, on reaching the age of
lOl, will lose their powers of loComo-
ton through having danced their legs
off Aunt Hannah declares she has
never seen a modern dance and doesn't

Vermont Apples

The apple show OF the Vermont Hor-
ticultural society, which is just con
cluded in this city, demonstrates two
things: % the growing Importance
and high quality of Vermont apples
~ the eminent desrability of the
armory for shows and meetings of this
kind
The business end of apple growing
is shown by the fact that frst-grade
Vermont apples are bringing about
two dollars a barrel more in New York
to-day than western apples of the same
grade. The progress made in Vermont
quality is shown by the exhibits Of
Mcintosh Reds Baldwins and Winter
Bananas which in color, uniformity
and approximate size compare favor
ably with the fancy" western fruit
while in flavor and keeping qualities
they are beyond comparison. When it
comes to Northern Spies, Greetings
and apples of that type, Vermonts
product is admittedly superior.
There is great future for apple
growing in Vermont, and such pro-
jects as the McRae, Buxton, West and
Stewart orchards show what can he

JOSEPH E. RANKIN'S RIDE TO
SAVE HIS COMRADES

SA Ia
One Of the greatest rides in frontier
history was that of Joseph q. Rankin.
q scout with Maj. T. I. Thornburgh,
when that officer was ambushed and
killed by the Ute Indians September
20. 1879, and his command surrounded
on the Milk river in northwestern
Colorado. When Capt. j. S. Payne of
the Fifth cavalry took command OF
the beleaguered troops and called for
volunteers to ride tor help, Rankin
was the first to offer himself.
All of the horses in the command
had beer wounded, but, taking one
of the least injured. Rankin made a
dash along the back trail and sue
ceeded in getting through the Indian
lines. Then In the darkness he headed
for Rawlings, Wyo.. ITO miles away,
The next morning he met a party of
soldiers bringing up a cattle herd for
Thornburgh, exchanged horses and
pressed on.
His new mount soon failed him and
he was forced to continue his journey
on foot. Luckily he soon reached a
hay camp and there obtained another
mount. On this horse he rode weari-
ly into Rawlings with his news that
evening. He had crossed three noun
tain ranges, had led his horses over
trails too rough to ride in the dark
ness or because the animals were too
tired to carry him and he had covered
the distance of ITO miles In exactly
"a hours.
Troops we're at nee put into mo-
ton to rescue Payne. Col. Wesley
Merritt, with four troops of the Fifth
cavalry reached Rawlings on the MORN
ing of October 2. Rankin immediate
ly offered his services as guide and
by noon Merritt's command vas ID
its way. When they camped at mid
night, they had covered 30 miles.
1t was the morning of October 4.
Eighty miles away Payne and his
comrades were holding off the Utes
and praying for the arrival Of help.
He knew that his colonel would spare
no effort to come to his rescue and
he believed 1t just barely possible that
Merritt would reach him by dawn of
OCTOBER D.
1t was a custom in the Fifth caval-
ry for one troop of the regiment to
guide another into camp at night by
sounding Officers call" Surrounded
by his wounded men, Payne lay in
the trenches they had dug, listening
eagerly as the first streaks of light
appeared In the east. Suddenly the
notes of a bugle were heard and "of,
fcers' call" floated on the morn,
ing air.
In a few minutes the Utes were re-
treating sullenly before the steady ad.
vance of Merritt's dust-covered troop
ers. Rankin's ride Of ITO miles over
the toughest country In America and
his faithful guiding of Merritt's men
had saved Payne and his comrades.
