Notice of Road Meeting
NAMING A TOWN.
Christmas is Near
Concord
Fifty
The name of Concord, N. H., was
given to the town after a controversy
which lasted fifty years. In 1725 the
laud now within its bounds was grant
ed to the colonists under the name of
Peacock by the colony of Massachu
setts: This claim was disputed by the
colony of New Hampshire, which two
years later granted this same land to
the township of Bow. 1733 Massachu
setts incorporated Peacock Into a
township named Rumford, and for
more than forty years a fierce legal
controversy was carried on. No agree
ment could be reached, and the mat
ter was taken to the authorities in
England, but even then there was no
satisfactory nor permanent settlement.
In the .face of an evident leaning
toward the claims of Bow, both In
England and in America, the little
band of colonists "in Rumford fought
on valiantly, and in 1765 an act of
incorporation was granted to the in
habitants of Rumford. This was still
highly unsatisfactory because it only
made them a parish in the town of
Bow.
The controversy continued until 1774,
when it was finally settled and an
independent town was formed under
the name of Concord. It was due to
the devotion of the little band of
settlers to their cause and the unity
which existed among them that the
independent incorporation of the town
was -finally obtained, and it was emi
nently fitting that the concord which
existed between them during the strug
gle- of nearly fifty years should be
memorialized in their town’s name.—

DODGED THE WASPS.
Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen
Escaped a Stinging.
A man on his first trip into the wilds
and marshes of an unknoyrn country
with the United States drainage engi
neers Was struck by a unique method
they .have to escape from the attack
of wasps and hornets. The country
.traversed’ is generally covered with
thick undergrowth, and a path has to
be, cut through this all along the line.
So when a big -wasp nest is reached
.there is very little warning, some
times the axmen cutting into a big one
with their machetes.
The-person relating this experience
was some sixty feet behind the ax
men with the instrument when all
at once the two axmen dropped in
their tracks as if they had been struck
by, a thunderbolt The man behind
apd the two chainmen did likewise.
While they were lying prone on the
grass and wet marsh thby heard what
.sounded like bullets zooing over their
heads. One after the other they came
with angry zjps. When things had-
quieted down a bit work was con
tinued, and the new man found that
to escape from wasps or hornets the
thing to do was to drop instanter.
The insects seem to be so mad that
they, fly in straight lines along a
level and do not have time to hunt
around for you.
- It is said that hornets are not so
prone to follow this rule as wasps,
but -the wasps never vary. Men have
been stung to death by hornets, and
horses and mules likewise.—Chicago

SWEET HOME,
Stormy Cape Horn.
The waters of Cape Horn have never
been unvisited by storms for more
than a week or two at a stretch within
the memory of’ man. Standing on the
outposts of the world. Cape Horn is
the meeting place of ocean currents of
very different temperature, from the
icy cold waters of the Antarctic drift
•to the war.nth of the Brazilian and
Peruvian return currents. The pre
vailing winds are from the northwest
and west, and these, coming from the
warm regions of the Pacific, condense
into fogs, which the sailors call “Cape
Horn blankets” and which are the
•forerunners of storms. The extremely
low level to which the glaciers of
Tierra del Fuego descend, the per
petual congelation of the subsoil, the
¡meeting of conflicting .winds at very
different temperatures, are all direct
or indirect causes combining to make
this the most constantly stormy re
gion of the world.

If they learn the art of chewing
even people whose food expense is only
threepence a day can make their meals
-last a long time. A chewer, according'
to dietetic experts, is one who chews
all things so long as they have any-
-taste left in them. -Gladstone, we are
told, used to take thirty-two bites to
every mouthful of food. The modern
school of chewers would regard this
as dangerously rapid eating. “I have
tried chewing conscientiously,” writes
M t . Eustace Miles. "A banana has
cost 800 bites, a small mouthful of
bread and cheese 240 bites, a greedy
mouthful of biscuit (while I was walk
ing on a Yorkshire moor) over 1,000
bites. It still seemed to taste about as
.much as at first, but I knew that taste
by then, so I swallowed.”—London
¡Chronicle.

Sunken Walnut Logs.
On the bottom of Gull lake, in
Michigan, lies a small fortune in wal
nut logs, which were once considered
of so little value that they were towed
out into deep water and sunk. As the
lake ¡is 300 feet deep in places the logs
are likely -to remain a dead loss. The
logs are really the butt ends of fine
walnut trees which were cut down
years ago. Later the stumps were pull
ed out, hauled into the lake and let go.

“And why.” she asked, “do you
think the world is better now that it
was twenty-five years ago?”
“Because you were not in it then,”
he replied.
“Ah, I am afraid you wish to flatter
me. I am nearly twenty-eight.”
■ “Is it possible? Well, in a way* I’m
glad of it”
“Why?”
“You see, I’m thirty-seven, and I
don’t believe that, any man ought to
be more than eight or nine years older
than his wife.”
“Oh. Horace! How romantic you
are! I wonder if any other man ever
adopted such a lovely way to let a
girl know that he cared for her.”—Chi

We painters in oil can’t do that,

SOUNDS FISHY.
A horticulturist, George Snively, liv-
I tag at Sandy Grove, near Harrisburg,
' W. Va.. is said to have succeeded in
grafting a tomato stalk on a potato
• vine and having the plant reproduce
itself, a feat that has never before
been accomplished. The facts may be
as reported in this case, but they sound
decidedly fishy, and it would take ocu
lar proof to convince tBe average man
that,the tubers.from the potato vine
on which this tomato stalk had been
grafted would ever produce stalks that
.would: bear tomatoes or that the seed
from „a tomato produced on the insert
ed tomato vine would ever develop a
root system that would produce a mur
phy. If a potato .blossom were cross Q
fertilized with pollen from a tomato g
blossom a plant might be developed
which would produce both tomatoes Q
and tubers, but the chances seem dead Q
against its ever being accomplished by
. a process of top grafting.
