securities on, could not be taken without
being missed inside of ten minutes, and if
it were not found no one in the division

Tale of a Handsome Woman.

They tell pretty tale, if only it had
pretty sequel. of handsome Chicago wo-
man whose husband had been for some
years absent on diplomatic business
abroad. One fine afternoon she received
a letter setting day some months dis
tant for his return. Now the lady,
though handsome, was stout, and she
could not endure the thought that the
man who left her young and slim should
find her obese and aged. SO then, putting
all other business out of hand, she de-
voted herself with assiduity to one of the
various Turkish bath systems for putting
aside unwished for pounds. The lady
was persevering and the doctor skillful;
the arrival of the steamer found her
weighing to an ounce what she had
weighed when her youthful husband
sailed away. She got back her giflish
figure, but she could not present her
handsome face. The fine lines which
scanned it in every direction were a
heavy price to pi in exchange for the
matroniy proportions which she feared
her husband would not look with favor
upon The husband, that chance had not
occurred to her, had gained avOirdupois
also, and if she had let herself alone,
they would have made well matched,

1.-THE brain work on a watch" said a
jeweIer yesterday, lis about all in the
making of the machines and instruments
used in the manufacture of the watch.
Each factory has it's inventors, who are
constantly at work on the machinery,
which is improved every year. The ma
chimes are very costly, but they are easily
used, and after a little practice the en-
ploye can feed them, and thousands of
screws or wheels are turned out in an hour.
There are at least twelve watch fac
tories in this country, four of which-the
Elgin, the Waltham, the United COM
pany at Waltham and the Waterbury
factories-turn out 1000 watches in a
day. Many of them are sold in this cOun
try, but many find a market abroad. The
American watches excel the English lime
pieces. In England matchmaking is Just
what it was 100 years ago. There is no
money back of the manufacture. There
are no factories there as in this country,
where one machine will cost as much as
the whole shop in England. Watch
making, or. more properly, watch repair
ing, is a good trade, and it would be bet
ter if some of our educated young men
had acquired it. The increasing demand
for watches makes more workmen neces-
sary to keep them in repair. Watch
makers serve seven years without pay in
learning the trade. But after they have
mastered the business they can command
excellent wages. New York Graphic.

A Medicine Dog Feast.


In company with friend | visited an
encampment of Indians at the Pipestone
quarries, Minnesota, and witnessed one
of the national feasts of the Sioux. The
Indians belonged to the Yankton tribe,
and numbered about sixteen lodges, or
eighty people, including in their number
bucks, squaws, papooses, boys, girls, Old
and feeble warriors. not counting the
large number of dogs. To many the In
dian cur would appear a worthless piece
of property. but at the feast in question
the most gaunt and hungry looking dog
of all played an important part. A
trench about three feet in length and one
foot in depth had been dug and into this
the lean old dog was placed and covered
over with sticks, on which dirt was piled,
leaving the head only protrude. Two
DAYS was he confined in this artificial
oven. At the expiration of the two days
the master of ceremonies, or medicine
man, pronounced all mystical rites prop
erly observed and that it was time to
carry out the completing act. This was
done by removing the dirt and piling on
more sticks, covering the animal COM
pletely. Fire is now applied to this heap
Of brushwood and the once respectable
cur made roast dog.
Upon our arrival the roasting had just
been finished and the whole camp were

This meeting was called to see what

that for all home purposes and socie-

in consideration of the fact that the

WHITTIER ARE VIZ TENDING?

Shall it be free rum, Sunday drunk

Dances? Shall the accursed saloon
deal out its liquid damnation, among
an intelligent and, otherwise, law a.
biding people, to the detriment of
fathers, sons and brothers, and to the
blighting of the fair name and fame
of the community? Or shall we, as
free men and women, who value the
inestimable blessings of the liberty of
the law, and are jealous that our
fame as peacable. quiet, law-abiding
citizens be not imperiled, arise in our
might, and invoking the strong arm
of the law, say no further shalt thou,
demon, go? These questions fairly
face the good citizens of this commu-
nifty to-day, and must be answered.
The evil has been growing for the
past year, and has assumed proper
tons that are appalling. We are a
ware that our citizens are not fanatic
al upon the liquor question, are will
ing, in a measure, to be blind to a
restricted sale to guests of the house,
but when it is dealt out indiscrimi-
nately to old men, young men and
even boys when drunkenness is almost
daily and nightly seen upon our
streets and in public places; when the
peace and quietude of families are
disturbed, and the gray haired father,
who has honorably striven through
life to maintain a respectable family,
is maltreated in his own house, we
mistake their temper if they are not
ready to cry, halt! This blighting
curse shall go no further!
We believe it is not only legitimate
work, but the bounden duty, of the
newspaper to point out and condemn
wrongs that effect the general public.
At all events, in this case, at least,
we assume it, and make our position
so clear that none may mistake it, by
proposing to wage an DISCRIMINATING
warfare upon the traffic in this vii
lage. Who will stand by us in the
fight? Pass in your names at once.

Editor Sifter::-I desire to call your at
tention to a matter of local interest be-
tween your town and ours, in regard to
the sale of liquor. In our town we re-
strict the sale at our agency down to &C
tual close necessities. The agent is watch
ed as closely as a cat watches mouse,
and no one outside dares to offer drop
for sale. The old topers we used to have
we should eventually reform were it not
for the temptations placed before them in
neighboring towns especially in your
town. Now | desire to inquire what
your temperance society down your way
is about? For what purpose was it form
ed?. We do not make any great ''splurge"
up this way, do not form societies to
meet every week in order to mutually con-
graduate each other upon his or her high
moral perfection, but ace stop the sale of
liquor, and no one ddres open gin shop
here, even upon the backside of Bromley
mountain. Now how much real earnest
ness can there be to your Division No. 25
S. of T. that meets every Thursday eve
ming, when it pays no attention even to
their own town agency and do not know
whether it is properly managed or wheth-
it is used, in a measure, at least, to sup
ply the thirsty ones from towns outside,
whose reputation is so bad that they can
not obtain what they want at home
Please tell them to stop their high-fown
talk and 90 to arOrk. Let them examine
the books of their agency, and demand
good square reason for every sale, and if
the agent is abusing the Office have him
removed by complaint to the county com
missioner. A little work of this kind
would amount to twenty times more than
your weekly meetings held within a
stones throw of gin shop, which any
one determined citizen, who really meant
business and truly had the temperance
cause at heart, could shut up by turn of
his hand. But if you still persist in
shouting your hallelujahs and yet hug
ging the evil thing to your hearts, one
thing you must do: contne your corrup-
ton to your own town, Or else we shall
hardly resist the impulse to march down,
in righteous Indignation, from the noun
tains and clean you out!

indeed, as we have not had more than
two or three during the past week,
which were accompanied by furious
breezes. Sunday there was quite a
rain fall, by way of variety, which
formed crust that gave everything
the appearance Of being coated with
glass, and presented a magnificent
sight as the glorious sun looked down
with smiling face. Monday morning
the day was fine as possible, though
fearfully cold. Mercury continued

M. Davidson, who has been treasur-
er since 1874, read paper showing
the present standing of the bank and
its rapid growth in the past few years.
This report shows that in 1873 the
banks assets were 1913, 37S.4 40: to-
day they ale S503, 1924. 1t shows
the average yearly growth, since that
time, to be S3l ,03S,43. The banks
surplus at the present time amounts
to S22, 1929 SO. The paper further
showed that of the fifteen savings
banks in Vermont, only four of them
have made larger per cent of in
crease in assets during the last ten
years, and only three or four have
given as large dividends. The bank
has meet with no losses since 1874
and the corporators may well be
proud of such a thriving institution.
Several new corporators were chosen
but the old board of officers remains
the same with the exception of Mr..
G. II. Eager, whose valuable servi-
ces the bank has not enjoyed since
last Spring when he was stricken
with paralysis. He is still one of the
trustees, and M. Davidson was elect
