The New Haven girl who in 1887
married Yam Phon Lee, n Chinese
graduate of Yale, is now suing for a
divorce. Her dream of matrimonial
bliss is soon dissipated, but she will
have an opportunity to draw COM
fort from the Il told YOU so" of

is Senator Morrill,, who has Just cele-
brated his S0th birthday and | don't
believe he has ever touched liquor or
tobacco in his life.
He hit it right on the head, that
editor who wrote: Some people like
to have their newspapers fight for
temperance and good order. They
think their ministers ought to work
early and late for the cause of right
eousness, they demand that the Off
GERS of the law shall stand up boldly
against the forces of evil, but they
must be excused from showing their

and have too important business in
terests to engage in a fight with the
liquor dealers. They have bright
and shining conceptions of other
peoples responsibility, but shirk
their own.
EX-Speaker Carlisle s assertion that
Large majority of the people of
the country voted against the Re
publican party and its political creed
at the last election" is an especially
unfortunate remark to make. 1t is
unfortunate because it will compel
intelligent persons to inquire into the
matter, in which case they will dis
cover that in the section in which the
elections were free and honest the Re
publicans led their opponents by the
| hundreds of thousands. In the South,
where the elections were, as they usu-
| ally are, notoriously and confessedly
dishonest, the Democrats were ahead,
but under present circumstances the
South doesn't count

The perfection of politeness is well
illustrated by an anecdote told by Mr.
Lear in his Journey of a Landscape
Painter in the East" He was taking
a parting cup of coffee with the post
master Of Pella, when he had the mis-
fortune to set his foot on a handsome
pipe bowl. Crash went the bowl; the
Mohammedan sat unmoved. Mr.,
Lear apologized. The breaking of
such q pipe bowl, " said the postmaster,
''would, indeed, under ordinary Cir
oumstances, be disagreeable; but in a
friend every action has It's charms"

The maire of a town on the frontier
had, in accordance with the recent
regulations, to make out a passport
for a rich and highly respectable, lady
of his acquaintance, who, in spite of a
slight Disagreement, was very vain of
her personal appearance. His native
politeness prompted him to gloss over
the defect, and, after moments re-

THE IRONY OF FATE.

Sne said to him Cor and he went
To win for her fortlne and fame,
And the labor of long years was spent
Ere the coveted competence came.
He returned, filed with love and with pride,
To the home of his youth quickly sped,
But the dream of his life was denied
His bride to another was wed.
A poet had struggled along
Through life time of sorrowful !1sars,
But the busy world heard not his song,
Little touched at the sight of his tears
He sought to win the worlds praise,
While his heavy heart hungered for bread
1t came; but the chaplet of bays
Was placed on the brow of the dead.

Success Coming to Vermont.

The success is coming here in Yer
mont just as surely as it is in the
South. 1t won't come in the shape
of doomed cities, but it lies right in
the path of the man who recognizes
the possibilities of the State, or of
his own community, and who throws
himself into some line of work for
which he is fitted, with enterprise, en-
thusiasm, and for all he is worth.
Look at the success made by Edward
Crosby of Brattleboro and say wheth-
er it was not worth more in public
usefulness, in dissatisfaction, ana in
all the qualities of manhood, than a
fortune of whatever size made by q
lucky venture in real estate in some
Southern paper town. A few men
will get rich out of this Southern
paper town. A few men will get rich
out Of this Southern boom business,
but the great majority of the rank
and file will get badly left when the

Agricultural Depression

In the issue of the Iron Age for
April attention is called to the fact
that there is an almost universal
complaint among farmers of all ma
tions of the prevalence of low prices
Great Britain suffering most. Itcites
as a potent cause the competition
from all parts of the world unrelieved
by any taxation of imports. The
trouble appears to be general in
monarchies and republics, whether
the monetary circulation is gold or
silver or paper, and under the infu-
ence of various and diverse economic
systems.
1T matters not that the prices of
/. implements, utensils and fabrics of
goods desired by the farmer, have
been reduced propOrtionately; his in
terest account, if he has one, is unre-
duced, and his mortgage is u greater
burden to life. The prime cause of
low price is the operation of the in
evitable law of supply and demand.
Abundance leads inevitably to low
prices; scarcity to high prices. With
either there is fiuctuation, a see-saw
of prices which increases cost and re-
duces profit, Medium and uniform
values are therefore best for the
farmer.
Production has increated in this
country even more rapidly than the
increment of population. The peo-
pie consume more than other nations
and have a larger surplus for foreign
needs. Immigration has been heavy,
unrestricted, railroad building has
been stimulated until an empire of
new and productive lands has been
opened and given to settlers of native
and foreign birth ad libitum. Specu-
lation first and profitable utilization
have been the motive for settlement
and development which have aston
ished the world and caused over-pro-
! ductiOn and low prices.

A KENTUCKY VENDETTA,
One Faction Was Flying Along on a
Train-A Remarkable Story.


Train-A Remarkable Story.
William Barnes and Kelly Day were in.
stantly killed while on a train at Chambers
station, near Lexington, KY. George Stevens
was fatally wounded. In 1880 John Stevens
{ citizen of Powell County, was murdered by
William Barnes a neighbOr. Barnes got a
life sentence. He was pardOned last spring.
Albert Barnes, brOther-in-law to John
Stevens has q wife of unsavOry character.
The neighbors said she and William Barnes
have been unduly intimate since the latters
return from prison. Albert swore ven
geanCe For some time he has been working
at Chambers Station, fifteen miles east Of
Mt. Sterling on the railroad cutting.
VIII Barnes and his son armed themselves
and boarded the west-bOund passenger train
twelve miles east of Chambers. 1t was be-
ieved by them that they would be attacked
at the latter station by Albert and his friends,
among whom was George Stevens, brother to
waiting for Barnes and his son. AS the
train rushed by the station at full speed
Albert and his seven men, part of them
stationed either side OF the road, fired
rapidly into the car containing the men they
sought to destroy. The latter stood up and
shot fast into their foes.
In two seconds the fight was over. Will
lam Barnes had three bullet holes in his head
Kelly Day was shot under the chin, but the
bullet ranged upward and went into his
brain. George Stevens of the attacking party
was also observed to fall as if mOrtallY shot
while the firing was taking place
This tragedy is likely to provoke another
Kentucky vendetta.

Complete returns OF the fatalities caused
by the recent tornado which wrought such
fearful havoc in Illinois, Kentucky and In

ficientlv complete to approximately estimate
the loss of life. In Louisville the number Of
those killed outright and receiving fatal in
juries will not be far from 12O. In other
parts Of Kentucky 207 persons were killed
the largest fatalities being as follows: Clay,
so; Glasgow, 30 Blackford, %; POOltOwn
Il; Kuttawa, 10; Eddyville. II; Dixon, 8;
Sebree, s; Marion, Z, and Bremen, 6. In
twelve other towns 81 persons were killed.
the total for Kentucky being 35S In illinois
SO persons were killed, the largest fatalities
being as follows: Shiloh, 16; Little Prairie
9; Grand Tower, Z; Mount Vernon, 5;Nienna,
f; Poplar Ridge, 4; Metropolis, B, and Car
bondale, 3. In Indiana % were killed-1S at
Green River and at Evansville. In Ten
nessee 9 were kiIled-S at Gallatin and l at
Rogana. The total is AS, but it is probable
that in round numbers 500 lives were lost. 1t
is almost impossible to make an accurate
estimate of the value of property destroyed,
but it raay be generally stated as follows:
Kentucky, So 900, 600; Illinois. $500, 900; In
diana, 1926, 600; Tennessee, $50, 900.
It is just learned that Harper's Ferry,
Henry County, KY. almost completely
destroyed by the tornado. The village COM
posed of less than two dozen houses, is a con-
sidera bic distance from any railroad.
The houses were not far apart, and every
one of them directly in the course Of the tor
nado. Men women and children were buried
beneath the ruins. Not a house remained
standing, and the whole surrounding cOun-
try was covered with wreckage.
Mrs. Laura Thomas. the wife of a farmer,
was found dead by the side of large tree
about one hundred yards from her home. An
infant child of farmer named Fletcher was
found beneath the ruins of its fathers resi-
dence smothered to death. Seven or eight
were injured badly. but no others fatally.
