Another Life Saved
A Student at Montpelier Strick-
en- With Bright's Disease.
RESCUED BY DIR. GAGE.

Probably no physician in New England
enjoys such an enviable reputation for the
cure Of long standing complicated chronic
diseases as does DR.. Gage, the noted
specialist of 26 West 31st street, New
York. His success in this part Of the
country is indeed phenomenal, and his
cures are unsurpassed by any man living
He makes no idle boasts nor does he hold
out false hopes to the afflicted, but he is
regular in his visits, honest and frank in
ali his dealings, and does not attempt
On, es unless he feels sure of success. The
evidence of his skill is not far.fetched, as
our citizens we'll know but is in our midst,
perl,aps one of the most wonderful cures
vet reported is that of the student Of this
Village, who, in February last, was strick-
en- with Brights Disease of the Kidneys.
After treatment by Montpelier physicians
he was removed to his home in Hardwick
to die, a. they supposed. The excretions
from the Kidneys were thick with Albu-
men, and he became terribly bloated, and
so feeble that he could scarcely raise his
head from the pillow. Finally council
of physicians from Montpelier and Hard
wick gave the patient up as beyond a
help At this juncture q messenger was
dispatched to lay the case before DR..
Gage, who, thinking it was too late re-
luctan:ly consented to treat the case with
out seeing the patient. A happy det.l-
mination it was for the remedies seemed
to act like charm from the first, and tn
patient has so far recovered as to +, e, GER
tain that he has new lease of life. Las
week he came down to Montpelier to see
the man who has been sinstru mental in al
most snatching him from the grave. and
to express in person his heartfelt gra,itud
to DR.. Gage for saving his life Mont.

Call for Cattle did not appear urgent. Dull
weather of last week was detrimental to the
CITY beef trade and butchers were not buying
with anv degree OF activity. Low rates OF

Mich Cows-S ippIy annie and prices un-
changed. Most of the sales al $35 9 DO per
head.
Sheep Call-Nearly 1000 less in number
than reported last week, but for all that the

the dull weather of last week, and the de.

Our Richest Widow Dead.
CORNELIA N. STEWART,
WIDOW OF THE LATE A. T. STEWART

The richest widow in the United
States, occupant and owner of five
million dollar house, and worth it may
be, thirty million dollars, is dead. She
was remarkably we'll preserved woman,
and the announcement of her death
gaze shock to the public. The dis.
ease which Carried her off was an acute
attack of pneumonia. Her remains
have been laid in the crypt of the Cathe.
dral, Garden City, Long Island, tenn.
pie erected by her bounty and given by
her to the Protestant Episcopal Church.
She was married to the late Alexander
T. Stewart when he was an obscure dry
goods clerk, twenty-five years old, and
she year younger. That was in the
year 1924. Her social position was SUI
perior to his then, she being the
daughter of James Clinch, New York
merchant of good standing Their
married life ended in April, 1876, when
Mr.. Stewart died, the leading dry.
goods merchant of the world. 1t is
said that during the first ten years OF
her married life, Mrs. Stewart lived
surrounded by less of comfort and
luxury than were enjoyed by her SER
wants during the ten years of her widow
hood. Mrs. Stewart leaves no children,
but q considerable numberof relatives.
She was a small, thin, intellectual.
looking woman, sprightly in her carriage
and address, in disposition sweet and
affcctionate A devout commitment
in the Protestant Episcopal Church,
she gave largely in support of religious
and philanthropic agencies. Her tastes,
naturally refined, were gratified by the
means of dress and surroundings the
most elegant. Even after she had
passed eighty years of age, she adorned
herself with diamonds in dressing for
dinner, and never neglected to make
the most of her decided natural attrac-
tins. A few years ago she began to
wear a brown wig, her snow-white hair
beginning to fail out. The reader can
Judge from t. e fact that she paid nine
thousand dollars in taxes last year.,
how favored among women was Cor

Perfumed Pockets.

Among the necessary adjuncts of the
modern gown is the perfumed pocket,
which is sold, made up ready for use, by
shopkeepers along with the other "fnd-
ings," for which trifes modistes tack
onto their little bills such astounding
sums. These dainty pockets are among
the newest accessories of the already
costume of the day. For some time per-
fumes went ''out" and were considered
decidedly vulgar. but they are sin"
again with a vengeance, and the faint
scent of the many sachet powders that
greets ones olfactory organs in crowded
places is quite overpowering, at times
nauseating. Heliotrope to the right of
you, violet to the left of you, white rose
in front of you, and jessamine behind
you in the warm, close atmosphere of a
church or theatre make you sigh for
fresh fields and pastures new and wish
devoutly the edict against scents had not
been removed. Women have perfume
sewed into the Innings of their dresses, in
theirpockets, in their corsets, and i'm their
bustles, and the effect of ali this is the
reverse of pleasant very often. Fashion
never stops half way at anything, and
the only comfort is that il changes in
the twinkling of an eye. This rage for
perfume has not come to stay probably.

A DRUNKARD's soLILoQUY.
by q. s. GARRETT.

Once more Lwend my weary footsteps home
Once more pass beneath that gilded dome
Whose towering spire casts long dark shade
Across the tomb I'm which my mothers laid.
Once more l pause within that old church
door,
And gaze upon the smooth old Oaken floor,
Where oft heard my mother, kneeling, pray
That God would guide her, lead her, In the way
That ], her son, my duty should be shown,
And from the paths of sin be lifted up
Ere had learned to drain the fatal cup
That cup, the cause of my dear fathers death
That u comfort to her age might he,
In health sustained, and in eternity
We both should meet, and clasp each Others
hands,
Alas! I'm yonder lonely, tuftcd mound,
Where nought doth wake the stiffness so pro
found,
Lies moldering In the dust that gave IL birth
Her spirit to Its Author, God, hath flown,
Hath passed away into the great Unknown;
There, all seems dark To my poor, weary soul
And yet know that shall soon be laid
Low I'm the ground beneath that church spirc'
shade
Shall !, alas! against my mothers will.
still follow on. u drunkard's grave to nip
draught!
My mother warned me. but only laughed;
My friends advised me, but turned away
To follow ON my destined wanton way.
o God, I'm pity from Thy throne OF grace,
Look down upon this sinful, upturned face!
Remove this fery, burning, mad desire
That drags me deeper down into the mire;
Raise up my spirit from the darkening gloom
And save me from the awe-inspiring doom,
That hangs above me as the guilOts knife
Hangs DER its victim, ready for his life.
