Peacham. Vermont, Has
Changed Since George
Left 1t and There Are
Some Who Would Not Be
Eligible to Join.
BY MARK ETHRIDGE.


Peacham, VT, April 27.-When
Col. George Harvey comes back from
England to organize his Society of
st. George he will find that his ma
tive village, like the old gray mare
that draws the stage over the Yer
mont mountains between here and the
nearest railroad station, "ain't what
she used to be-"
For one thing. there is n new clock
in the steeple of the Congregational
church where the colonel thirteen
years ago-even then the townships
fair haired child-made the centen-
NAL celebration speech. Then. too.
~ will find that Peacham hasn't the
same unquestioning faith in his ut
terances since he told an English au-
dience the other night that there was
not a man. woman or child in his
native village that wasn't of English
extraction. no, not one.
In what was described as "pur-
pie burst of oratory." he proposed
that Peacham would be fitting dia-
dem in the English crown and that
on his next visit TO the place of his
nativity he would call the citizens
together and organize n Society of
st. George, drawn exclusively from
the people of English extraction. He
modestly suggested that he was to be
the president and the Prince of Wales
the patron.
1t May Be So. But
Peacham will do anything George
Harvey says, and will even agree he
looks more handsome in his satin
and buckled knee breeches. but it
puts a grain of salt on his 100 per
cent English" tale. The most char
liable attitude that Peacham takes
toward the utterance of the colonel
is that "the town has changed since
he was here"
His brother. Charles Harvey. n
lanky and communicative indi-
vidual. who paints the houses and
buggies of the Peacham folks for n
living. isn't so charitable as that.
Its all bunk what George said. q"
was all he would venture. except
George has a little Scotch in him. y
Pressed. he explained that he was
referring to the ambassadors ances-
try. Then. too. if the colonel had
paused a minute for reflection before
K he made his statement about the un-
q alleged English settlement of Peach
am. he would have seen arising out
of his memory the spccter of johann
mes Christian Frederick Won Richter.
the keeper of the general store, who
boasts of having been born in Sax
ony.
Sitting in the general store with
Zich. his black kitten, in his lap, Won
Richter discussed the ambassador.
"Yah. 1 know George; | fished nit
him many n day in that trout stream
over there" he said. 81 boarded with
his sister-in-law. He amt given to
making statements that amt true
but I figure he was up among all
those. aristocrats over there and was
laying it on a mite thick. George
knows better when he says every
body here is English. I've been here
So years" -..
The storekeeper seemed little re-
sertful and boosted his Saxon ances-
try was older than the colonels An

1t is Peacham's intention to let
the untrammeled son of its hills live
down its temporary disgrace. lie had
his little joke. although he riskcd his
yeracity, and when he comes back for
visit. he can even organize his So
ciety of st. George if he wants to

its patron. too. Anything George
wants he can have in peacham. II
he wants to wear his satin brooches
the town folks won't even giggle at
his sirinny legs.
Didn't he start the fund for the
centennial celebration thirteen yeas
ago? And didn't he bring a brass
band up from New York and a Ger
man band from Burlington 10 play
for the festivities in this all-English
village?
Didn't he send 81 and more than
thousand books to the Peacham Ii
brary which Thaddeus Stevens. Civil
war statesman and next favorite son,
started?

teacher. Mr.. Bunker. when he was
asked if Peacham has honorcd Colo

he was called on to talk about the

now and then.
He recalled the days whom George
threw stones Mt the door OF Gracey,
the Irishmnn's store.

" wouldn't be the most enthusiastic
member of the Society of st. George
and scores of Gracey's descendants

Then, too. when the colonel came
to the name of Jimmy Murphy. he
might wonder whether the son o.
County Cork was eligible. Herbert
Steel liks'ise recalls his father smok-
ing an old clay pipe and talking about
the days of his youth in County

Yet Modease is by no

like the fact that it can be
worn without change for
