Wise and Unwise.

AN experienced foreman, who has
an eye for philosophy, says that tools
apparently partake of the temper of
those who use them. A short grain
ed man hasnlcked bits; the impetu-
GUS man, broken ones the lazy man,
dull ones the careless man, badly
dressed ones; the man with one idea,
one dress for all kinds of work; the
soft man can rarely keep the edge of
a tool from turning, while the good
natured and even tempered man has
the best tools IN the shop, and is pes
tered continually by ill-tempered
workmen who come to borrow from
him whenever they haye a particular
piece of work to do. 1t is quite in
teresting to note the similarity in the
temper of workmen and their tools.

The case of Solon F. Tracy, executor u.s.
Alonzo B. Gusha, the trial of which was
begun Tuesday, the 18th, closed its testi-
mony at four o'clock Monday, the 2lst, and
the first argument was commenced by Wat

Gusha, quite well-to-do farmer living in
Strafford, committed suicide few years
ago, leaving will which gave some $4,000
to various religious and missionary socie-
ties, and the use of 81, 900 to his only son,
Alonzo b., who contests the WILL mainly on
the ground of insanity. The case will prob
ably be given to the jury Wednesday. Wat
son and Hebard for plaintiff; Clark, Hyde,
Heath & Willard for contestant.
The case af Ashley as. Hyde has been
continued by agreement.
Jurors Levi Thayer and j. NJ. Eastman

The Waterman Clubbing List.

To accommodate subscribers who desire
to obtain one or more periodicals through
one agency and at reduced rates, we will,
until further notice, receive subscriptions
for the WATcHMAN and any of the publica-
tions named below at the prices given in the
column headed With WATCHMAN." The
terms are cash in advance. The subscrip-
tion price of the WATCHNAN is $500 year
in advance, or $3.50 when not paid within
three months.
The premium business has been greatly
overdone, and is being quite generally dis
carded by publishers of country papers, who
feel that they cannot longer afford to "give
something for nothing lit having proved,
in most instances, positive loss rather
than a substantial gain to them. We will,
however, continue for the present our offer
of the WATcHMAN one year and set of
family scales for $500.
Any person sending us $500 for four
strictly neo subscribers will receive copy of
the WATcHMAN free for one year.
Some subscribers have urged us to require
payment in advance from all subscribers
and stop the papers when the time paid for
has expired, unless the subscriptions have
been previously renewed. If all subscribers,
or agreat majority of them, would cooperate
with the publisher in making the proposed
change, it could be easily accomplished
within the next two months After the
rule of advance payment was once estab-
lished, it would prove much the best for
both subscribers and publisher, and save
much annoyance and trouble in the settle
ment of newspaper accounts. If subscrib-
ers who are now in arrears will pay up, and
all others will renew promptly at the ex-
piration of their present subscriptions, there
will be little difficulty in bringing about a
change from the present system. But unless
the great majority are willing to do this, il
may not be practicable to make the change

Obituary..

WATsoN.-Hon Edwin Cheney Watson
of Hartford, VT, died at his home on Sun
day morning, December Goth, aged sixty
seven years. He had been failing for nearly
year past and was confined to his bed the
last five weeks, yet he little suspected the
true nature of his disease--a cancerous af-
fection of the stomach-until quite recently.
His parents were Oliver and Esther (Brown)
Watson, who We're among the first settlers
of the town of Worcester, Vt, and whose
marriage, May 29th 1917, was the first one
in town. Edwin c. was their oldest child,
and was born May Goth, 1918. His pa
rents being pioneers, he was not afforded
the high educational advantages enjoyed by
the young of the present day, but, possessed
of those sterling qualities of true manhood
which know no defeat, he overcame all the
obstacles of adverse circumstances and won
for himself place high in the confidence and
esteem of his fellow-men. He was married
January 1st, 1874, to Sophia, daughter of Cap
tain Seth johnson of Cornish, n. H., by
whom he had eight children. She died
October Sth, 1863 leaving him five children,
all of whom survive him. Charles A.. the
eldest served in the Union army in the late
war of the rebellion and is farmer at Cal
ais. Henry A. graduated from the Univer-
sity of Vermont Medical College, and is now
practicing medicine at White River june
ton. Alfred E., who has resided with his
father, is graduate of Dartmouth College,
the present secretary of civil and military
affairs of Vermont, and has the legal pro-
fession in view. Lucinda S. is married and
lives at Hartford. Olive r., musically
educated at the New England Conservatory
of Music, has also resided at home. In
1853 and 1859 Mr.. Watson was chosen as
sistant judge of Washington county court
and in 1862 and 1868 he represented the
town of Worcester in the general assembly
being the first one born in town elected to
represent it in the state Legislature. In
1861 he entered the employ of Van Ornum
Braley & Co., latterly known as French
Watson & Co., of Hartford, VT, manufac
turers of agricultural implements, and al
the time of his death was the senior mem
Der of the firm, owning half interest. He
married for his second wife, November 24th
1864, Mrs. Mary l.. Hayward, daughter o.
the late Horace ii. Collier of Worcester, 10y
whom he leaves son, George H., who II
yet in minority. In March, 1867, Mr.. Wat
son moved his family to Hartford, where h'
had since resided and, by untiring industr,
and economy, had given to his children thu
advantages of higher education, not en-
joyed by himself, and left a comfortable for
tune. Since living in Hartford he had helC

The crowd was very large, and the ut.

had come for all Socialists, and Others
who hated law and order, to rise and
burn and kill.

parts Of the crowd. "Then get them
ready" he resumed, with an effort TO-

The speaker pointed out, amid great
applause, how himself and his hearers
could march down the boulevards, the
highways Of the purse-proud and aris-
.tocratic, and sweep them from the face
OF the earth. He concluded by naming
prominent citizens and capitalists as
enemies to mankind, and with other
speakers Of the occasion, condemned
the strikers on account OF their leniency
with their opposers.
