Ml - III tyro dm (Continued from first page) Wardlaw remurked that the Central desired to be liberal with its men and added that the present wage scales would be ridiculous if they were not so serious. Chairman McCauley at the opening said that "we wouldn't be here if the railroads could deal with theirlabor insteud of being held to the national agreement. He gave it as his opin ion that it any other method ot relict other than the rate increase could be found it should be taken advantage of. He paid his compliments to the men "who can run every business except their own," who arc criticizing the j management of the railroads, saying that it was his belief that the .roads were well managed by capable offi cial who would not be faced by the present situation if they could have a free hand. Their hands are tied by the lenacies handed down from federal control, he said, pointing out tlurt the roads of New England are paying out $1.10 for operating expense out of every dollar received from any nd all sources.

A recent issue of the Detroit Free Pres contains a portrait of Henry D. Davenport of this town in military cos tume with his drum ready for action, made from a photograph taken at Sara toga Springs during the national G. A. R. encampment in 190". Accompanying the portrait is a story trom rontiac Mich., stating that Mrs. Lucinda Col lins of "that city, sister of Mr. Daven port, recently discovered fan.ily records establishing the drummer s birth as Je tober, 1851, instead of 1850, making him just under 10 when he enlisted in August, 1S1, as a drummer, instead of a year older as the military records in duate. In other words, Mr. Davenport. who celebrated his lOth anniversary last fall, reallv was only bit at tha time. Thus his claim to be the young est aurvivor of the Civil war becomes lesa assailable than ever. It ought to be said, however, that even on the basis of the military records nobody ever has disputed Mr. Davenport's claim successfully. He recalls that when his father, Captain David B. Davenport of Co. H, sixth ermont regiment, took him to St. Johnsbury to see (im. Fair banks, the governor at first would not consider accepting so young a lioy. Then, as an afterthought he said, "I-ct me hear you drum." When the 1(1-year-old, boy had drummed for him he exclaimed, "Good enough. You may go. You will beat them all drumming.'' The fact that Ui father was an officer and could personally look after his boy ac counts for his being considered eligible at such an age. W. G.
