The death of Major Bela Peck Learned calls to mind an incident which at this time is worth relating pecause it will show a side of his life which he modestly kept hidden from ew. The older readers of The Bul- etin have mot forgotten the perplex- ing troubles which The Bulletin suf- fered when it passed from the old style a machine , stereotyped, up-to- date plant—trials which grew out of udice and opposition of which the public knew nothing excepting the dis- heartening results, It was a siege of which no history will be written, a storm which exclted impatience rather than sympathy from the public; bdut wi keen perception and a sympa- thizing epirit Major Learned seemed to comprehend fuily our trying situa- tion and from him came the only let- ter with a kind word and a word of cheer The letter has been mislaid, but the fine sentiment of it has not been forgotten, for as an act of kind- liness most graciously done it left a lasting impression, We eannot tell why Major Learned was the last man from whom The Bulletin expected to receive such sym- pathv and words of cheer any more than we can tell why of all the thou- sands the paper reached daily he was the only one whosé heart-warmth and eed reached us; but we have nee thought that it is more than that a thousand times on a different ocgasions he may as warmily and sincerely have spoken good words to others who were facing re trials of which they could say i but which his keen percep- tion fathomed and his warm sympa- had moved him to write or to al. His memory Go Ukely kindiiness is held in precious The Bulletin, and, doubt- held also by many others, rned from him how a in time of ill-for- by CUSTOMS DOUBLED. The heavy demand being made for Cenadian hay leaves no doubt that there is & short crop in New England. Reports show that the collection for the customs district of Vermont for February amounted to $89,154.48, as comrpared witH $44,408.88 for the cor- responding month of the previous vear. This large gain is accounted for the large importations of hay. Al- though the duty is $4 a ton, there scems to pe a scarcity of the product in New England and the Canadian v is in great demand. The domes- tic exports amounted to $530 pared with $392,963 of the corre- g month of last year. The for- ports amounted to $72,315, and n February, 1909, they were $108,- 296. S The new tariff is working well as a revenue increaser along the border, all right. The Rutland News is of ths opinion that there is a hint in these transactions to the Vermont farmer to get busy and incfease his hay crop as a sure means of increas- ing his wealth.

Shakegpeare was an ecruples CHAUFFEUR DEFINED. ‘What a chauffer is has been defined in Pennsylvania by Judge Staake of Philadelphia, who on last handed down a decision in the case brought to test the valldity of the decision of the attorney general’s de- partment requiring all opergtors of automobiles’ to ‘take out a license. Judge Staake holds that a chauffeur is a paid operator of a motor-car, and his decision makes it legal for any private individual to drive a motor car without a license. Judge Staake holds that if it had ‘been intended that all operators of cars should take out licenses the in- | tention would have been clearly ex- pressed in the wording of the act of 1805. That such explicit language was not employed, and because the act reads “chauffeur, or any other paid employe,” it is clear in his min¢ that his interpretation of the law is the correct one. The Pittsburg Post, in noticing the matter, says: “This decision will be welcomed by motorists as proper and fair. Under the law every car must be licensed, and to require that each operator of a car must also be licensed and wear a badge would have worked a hardship in many cases. It would Seem no more equitable to require all drivers of cars to take out a license than it would be to require all drivers of horse-drawn vehicles to pay for the privilege of driving them. The - censing of the automobile and of all paid drivers, or chauffeurs, would certainly seem to cover the ground and protect all interests.” e EXHAUSTING PENCIL WOODS. The fact that the red cedar from which lead pencils are made is likely to be exhausted by 1915 as the re- suit of an annual cutput of 325,000,000, is prompting a search for new soft fine-fibred and knotless wood as a substitute. The national forestry serv- ice 1s co-operating with the manu- facturers to discover a fit wood for the purpose and among those submit- ted from the national forests to be tried are Rocky mountain red cedar, alligator juniper, western juniper, red- wood, incense cedar, western cedar, Port Orford cedar, and Alaska cypress. Wood specimens collected from the national forests will be sent to four leading manufacturers, who have agreed to make pencils of them. The manufacturers will keep a record of the tests and report to the forest serv- ice the results, as well as their judg- ment as to the fitness of the individ- ual woods. The forest service is assisting in this experiment because there are on the national forests large quantities of junipers and cedars which may be suitable for pencil manufacture. For several of these woods no very valua- ble use has yet been discovered. Fo esters believe that in the future the woods from the national forests may to a considerable extent come into use to supplement the diminishing stock of eastern woods, the supply of which has receive@ no protection.

There was a touch of contempt in the man’s voice as he answered her and she noted it with secret dismay. In none of their previous quarrels had he spoken so to her, and in alarm she wondered if she had made him cease to love her. “Your question would be an insult, Esther, were it not in line with this childish determination of yours to go out upon the river when it must be his order mot to disturb her, would find her with eyes closed talking softly as though to someone whom she near her.

I think—really, Esther, you must not untie that rope!” The sarcasm had left his voice and the girl felt a Httle quiver of delight as she noted the so- licitude which had taken its place. Still, her obstinacy unconquered, she continued her efforts to untie the rope which fastened the canoe to the land- ing. Her fingers trembled so that this was no easy task, but at last she suc— ceeded in accomplishing it. Another moment and the tide, stronger even than the man had sup- posed it to be, claimed the “Euprho- syne” and she darted, a siim streak of cream and gold, down the stream. So suddenly had it happened that Esther, who had never before been on the river save when its surface was as smooth as glass, lost her balance and fell into the water. She did not know how to swim, did not even have presence of mind enough to retain her hold upon the end of the rope, and before the man realized what had occurred she had completely disappeared. ment, however, he was in after he! understanding the strength of the tide, he struck out for a point further dowa the stream, where he figured she would reappear.

The president is to be the guest of the governor during the two days he will be in Albany, next week. So far as I know, Governor Hughes has mighty few intimate d¢riends among the politicians.” The foregoing observation was made today by a New York republican in discussing the approaching visit of the president. New Yorkers in Washing- ton have commented a number of times on the fact that the president seemed to be about the only man in public life with whom Governor Hughes has shown a desire to cultivate intimate relations. The interest is mutual President Taft hes a very high re- gard for Governor Hughes. The friend- ship began during the last presiden- tial campalgn. Mr. Taft was profound- ly impressed by the ‘quality of the speeches Governor Hughes was mak- ing for the presidential nominee, Aft- er the campaign was over Mr. Taft told his friends that the most effec- tive speeches delivered during the fight had been those of Gowernor Hughes. Afterward the two men met on a num- ber of occasions and were drawn | closely together. During the confer- enece of the governors in Washington | recently the president was especially cordial to the executive from New York. The minds of the Governor Hughes run in much the same channel.

The military awakening in China is already having its effect in a stiffening of the Chinese national vertebrae, Chi- na has In the railroad matter a dis- position to defy both Japan and Rus- sia, and Russian diplomats are ex- pressing more concern for future pos- sibilities of war with China than with Japan. One of the latest and most significant indications of this awaken- ing is the recent invasion of Tibet by e fully equipped modern army of 25,000 men, sent by the Chinese government to assert the absolute sovereignty of China over the land ruled by the La- mas. The army has taken possession of Lhassa, and the Dalai Lama ha fled to India for refuge and has heen given an official residence by the Brit- ish, where he is being treated with great outward respect as the head of the Buddhist religion.
