Magruder's Goat.

MRS. MAGRUDER's baby is carried out
by the nurse now, since the accident to
its carriage. Magruder thought 1t would
be good idea to have a tame goat to
pull the coach, and he bought one for the
purpose; but one day the goat met
another goat that differed from him in
politics or religion, or something, and
each undertook to convince the other by
lamming him in the skull. Every time
Magruder's goat would rear up prepara-
tory to making a lunge forward, Magru-
der's baby would lurch over backward,
and when Magruder's goat struck the
other goat the conclusion would shake
the milk in the baby's stomach into but
ter. And sometimes the other goat would
aim at MagruderS goat, which would
dodge, and then the other goa. would
plunge headforemost into the coach, and
mash the baby up in the most frightful
manner. And in the midst of the contest
a couple OF dogs Joined in, and Magru-
der's goat backed off and tilted the coach
into the gutter, and the dogs, biting
around kind of generally, would snap at
the goat and cause it to whirl the baby
around just in time for the bite; until at
last the goat got disheartened and sprang
through the fence, leaving the coach on
the other side, and it struggled franti-
cally to escape, while the other goat
crowded up against the baby in order to
avoid the dogs and finally knocked the
baby out, and butted the coach to splin-
tiers: They say the way Mrs. Magruder
eyed Magruder that afternoon, when
they brought the baby home mutilated
and disheveled, was simply awful to be-
hold; but she didn't speak to him for a
week, and he had to soften her down by
buying her an ostrich feather for her
winter hat. The goat is still at large
Anybody who wants him can have him
free of charge. Magruder doesn't reeog-
nize him when he meets the animal upon
the street.-Har Adeler. .

'Ehe Granger WaIkist,

A lew days ago an account appeared in
the GLOBE of the walk of lawyer from
Rutland to Casteton one evening, when
left by the train. His trip was rivaled by
Deputy Z, Il. Jameson, March 16. In the
morning he was in Pawlet, and over the
sloshy roads of that spring day walked
twelve miles to Middletown, before noon.
In the afternoon he walked two miles more,
and IN the evening organized grange at
Middletown, and was on his feet until half
past ten p. m. 1t was necessary to be in
Rutland TO take the $40 train the next
morning. No team could be procured to
put him on the 12.4T train at Poultney,
eight miles away, neither to carry him part
of the way on to Rutland direct. So at mid
night he started for Rutland, fifteen
miles, on foot, over road entirely new to
him, climbing out of Middletown toward
Tinmouth, and then over the hill through
Ira. 1t was very tolerable walking Ia the
moonlight until within about two miles of
West Rutland, when the moon was OBJ
scured and the muddy roads became hard
ened to bubbles and the miles seemed long.
Some persons may have heard rappings at
! the door at West Rutland and afterward at

FIRE.
Dwelling House ana Outbuildings
on woodstock Avenue burned

An alarm of fire was given from Nick
wacket engine house soon after noon, We'd
nesday which, upon investigation was found
to proceed from the dwelling house situated
at No. Z. Woodstock avenue, owned by
Miss Ruth Carruth, an elderly maiden
lady, who occupied the lower part,
the upper rooms being rented to Rufus
Minis, as tenement. Connected with the
house, which was a story and half
wooden frame, was barn, the part nearest
the dwelling being used as a shed. The
fire caught in the upper part of the shed,
and was first discovered by Mr.. Minis
children, who saw smoke issuing through
the door leading into this part. Upon
opening the door the smoke was so dense
that it drove them back. and a general
alarm was sounded.
The fire was well under way before the
fire department could get in position so as
to do anything toward saving the property.
When Nickwacket arrived it was some
minutes before it had stream on the
burning buildings, and then it was of SER
vice only for few moments, as the supply
of water in the hydrant at the upper end of
Main street was soon exhausted In the
meantime the hose of the Washngton's
and that of Killington No. 3, some fourteen
hundred feet in length, had been connected,
and by this means reaching the hydrant
located in the park at the head of West
street, where the steamer was placed. Con-
siderable time was lost by this change, and
the fire had made rapid Roadway, having
laid in ruins the barn and the larger part
Of the dwelling, SO that when the stream
was ready nothing was left to be saved but
the lower part of the walls; this, however,
was accomplished, as the water did good
execution when it reached the flames,
but too late to save anything of value.
Both of the occupants succeeded in saving
nearly all of their personal effects in fact,
everything that was movable of much
value was removed from the burning
buildings. Mr.. Minis Tgreatest loss being
IN two pigs, that were in the barn, which
were burned, his COW being saved.
Several of the neighbors were on the spot
nearly as soon as the alarm was sounded,
and with willing hands saved property that
would have been otherwise lost to its
owners. The origin of the fire is unknown;
neither of the occupants can advance any
theory as to its cause, and, so far, it is
a mystery. To the carelessness of the
children, or to the match of the incendiary,
the public will most likely bring.its charge.
The burned dwelling is one of the old
landmarks of Rutland, having been erected
in 1917 by the father of Miss Carruth, and
she has lived there from that time TO this
being period of flfty-eight years.
The buildings were insured in the Yer
mont Mutual, but the amount we have been
unable to ascertain Neither of the parties
held any other insurance.

STEPHEN GATES STALEY
Worth Makes the NInn.

To-day our townspeople pay the last tri-
butte to the memory of one who has suddenly
been called from our midst. The genial
face of Stephen G.. Staley is no longer to
be seen on our streets. In the death of our
respected townsman, it is not alone the
home that loses faithful husband and a
loving father, but there is taken from our
mi list a either, whose loss will he keenly
felt in many ways. AS we are about to
follow his remains to the grave several re-
Elections force themselves upon the mind,
and it may not be untimely TO give express
sion to them.
Stephen G. Staley may we'll be regarded
as representative New England man. To
say that he was frugal, honest and indus
tlious gives but little idea of his character.
In him were found these qualities, combined
with many others, which go to make up
the successful business man, and the hon.
ored citizen. The youthful impressions
| made while serving at his apprenticeship
as carpenter followed him through his
business career, and he has ever been
known as fair, upright dealing man in
the most minute matters BY precauton
and careful management he has met with
very creditable success. He has always
displayed that sturdiness Of character that
is rarely found outside of the self-made
man.
| If his tastes did not incline him to enter
much into society, every one who knew
him, could not fail to discern those traits,
which would have ever made him well
come guest. His largeness of heart made
for him many friends, that brings affection
into large circle, as we realize he is nc
more amongus. With "A deep reverence
for all that appeals to the higher sensibili.
ties of man. he early recognized his Deepen.
dence on the Supreme Power and united
with the church. BY teaching and exam
pie his friends as well as his family were
made to feel that respect for Gods law
were ever due from all.
But however much may be said Of Ste
phen G. Staley in his private capacity as
man, father and husband, his public
career cannot be lost sight of. 1t i,
through the various offices in which he ha:
so faithfully served that he is best know
to the people Of Rutland. Without that
eagerness for place, which only sees in i
the qualification Of pride, and the olopor
tunity Tor gain, he ever served faith fully
In whatever office the people thrust upor
him. All honors conferred upon him wer'
borne with becoming nodesty, and nevel
was responsibility neglected. Avoidinl
everything like ostentatious display, hi
demeanor was rather that of retiring dis
position.
The question, why are there not NOR,
such men in our midst, is truly one diff
cult to answer. True it is that if tn
towns and cities, throughout our land, wer
made up to greater exteut of men of tina
character-true worth in its fullest SENSE
the moral PERCEPTION OF mankind would
soon assume more elevated type, thai
what is often brought TO view.
