Not a Miracle, Now.

Until recently Consumption was
considered incurable, but now peo>
pie are beginning to realize that the
disease is not incurable. The cure
of Consumption is not a miracle, now.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

and given fair trial. This world
removed REMEDY will not make
new lungs, but it will restore dis

other means have failed. Thousands
gratefully testify to this. 1t is the

of the company is in no small part due to
his careful and shrewd management of the
company's affairs. He is also a director
and president OF the First National
Bank of Montpelier. He has taken but little
part in politics, but was in 1867, 1868 and
1869, a state SENATOR and in 1898 state
inspector of finance, in each of which
offices he showed the same painstaking
ability that has characterized his insurance
career. Mr.. Dewey and his wife, whom he
married in 1913, have been blessed with
nine children, eight of whom are living.
If any one desires to meet courtly, affable,

entered the service as quartermaster, with
the rank Of captain After the close Of the
war he entered the office of this COM

In 1877, he was made vice-president,

which charter had been granted two years
previously. In 1851 he was elected presi-
dent and general manager of the company
an Office which he filed to the complete
satisfaction of those interested, until his
death, May 30, 1877. 1t was in large de-
gree due to his keenness and ability as a
fnancier and general business man that the
company gained such permanent foothold
and grew to be one of the most reliable
life insurance companies in the country.

his first wife did he have children. They
were Charles, the present president of
the company Edward the vice president;
George, commodore in the United States

spoken man, but possessed of a most kindly
heart, and his purse strings were never
drawn against the calls of deserving charity.

stunning force to the many at home and
abroad who had been intimately connected

the time when his father became president
of the National Life, he was elected
director and in 1871 became vice president,
and at the same time resigned the secre-
taryship of the Vermont Mutual. He per-
formed the duties of second officer of the

the death of his father, in 1877, he was

The National Life Insurance Company
Building.

Alphabetically Montpelier is pretty we'll
fixed In proportion to population, it is
ahead of any other town or city in Yer
mont, while for instances OF individual com
parison, the federal building, the capitol,
and the new home Of the National Life In
surance Company are superior to anything
else in the state.
The aforementioned structure, recently
completed, is one of the handsomest and
tasty buildings in the state, and compares
favorably with anything out OF it, Situated
within few rods of the Central Vermont
railway station, over which it towers, it is
one of the first objects to catch the eye of the
visitor to the capital, and he is duly i'm
pressed. 1t is a conspicuous landmark,
and one of which Montpelier is justly proud.
The style of architecture is Dutch renais-
sance about the date A. ID, 1000. Those in
terested in art will recall the fact that this
period was one of the richest in the produc-
ton of men like Guido, Rubens, Rembrandt,
and within the influence of Raphael and
the great master, Angelo. " 1t is art alone
which marks the prime of nations, and 1t
seems fitting that we should return to the

Thu opening of congress leads the 50
J0hnSbUty RepUblicdn to note the fact that
Lucas M. Miller, the member from Oshkosh,
Wis, has the most romantic history of any
member of the present congress. Mr. Miller
was the son of Greek chieftain, who was
killed by the Turks during the Greek revo-
luton. Soon after this his mother died, and
he was cared for by a woman who found
him in an abandoned town soon after bat
tie had taken place in its streets. She APP
piled to Colonel J. p. Miller of Montpelier
for assistance. The colonel was Ver-
monter who Joined the Greek army at the
beginning of the revolution, was commits
stoned as colonel and distinguished himself
as brave and efficient officer. The colonel,
learning the history of the orphan boy, con-
cluded to adopt him, and when he returned
to this country settled in Montpelier.
Lucas attended the schools of the town I'M
til he was sixteen. At the age of twenty
one he took out naturalization papers, was
admitted to the bar, and soon after moved
to the territory of Wisconsin, settled in
Oshkosh in 1913, and engaged in farming.
During the Mexican war he was appointed
colonel by Governor Dodge. In 1853 he
was member of the Wisconsin legislature
At the time he was nominated for congress
he was in Vermont, and did not hear of the
nomination until the day after the conven-
ton adjourned. Had he been at home he
would not have accepted the nomination.
He remained in Vermont until two weeks
before his election On his return home he
informed the people of his district that he
had been nominated contrary to his wishes
il elected he proposed to attend to their in
terests, and if not elected he proposed to at
tend to his own business. He was elected.
Colonel Miller is closely related to Anasta-
sius Nicholas. He spent a few weeks in
Montpelier, couple of years ago. and the
writer found him genial and cultured

The exterior of the structure is of water
struck brick with Longmeadow sandstone
trimmings, and the roofs are covered with
best Eastern slate. The interior woodwork
is mahogany and oak, with elegantly
paueled wanscot throughout, four feet in
height.
The entrance is on State street. One of
the first objects that attract attention as
YOU ascend the broad steps is bronze tab
let sunk in the sandstone to the right of the
entrance, upon which is carved the name Of
the company, the date of its incorporation,
and the year the building was erected.
Through the massive doorway you
pass into the main hall, with its domed
ceiling and solid staircase. The walls are
paneled with handsome Swanton marble,
with a large directory slab of Tennessee
marble. Within easy access is an elevator
of most approvedmanufacture, the car being
finished in mahogany and plate glass, and

At the left is the grand business office,
some fifty feet square and twenty feet in
height. Two mammoth arched plate-glass
windows, one on each side of the building,
admit an abundance of light, and every
convenience and comfort known to a
counting. room may be found here. The
floor is Covered with iinoleum and the fur
niture is all of heavy antique oak. The
business office is in charge of Assistant Sec
rotary o. d. Clark, and is the work-room OF
all the clerks except those employed in the
actuarial department. The floor of the YES
thule, like that in the hall, is an Egyptian
mosaic tile. In connection with the bust
ness Office are the public and private offices
of DR.. A. B. Bisbee, the medical director
of the company, with toilet rooms connect
ing en- suite. These rooms and the offices
on the second floor are finished in mahog-
any, the rest of the building in oak.

A lady customer of ours miss Fanny Atwood of
Caroline Depot, n. W has been cured of stubborn
case of skin disease by the use of CUTICURA RENE
DIES. She remarked that her case had bafied the
skill of many weIl.known physicians. They unani-
mously pronounced it Eczema with Rheumatism
lurking In the blood. Some predicted that any
treatment strong enough to cure the Eczema would
surely increase the Rheumatism. She used two
sets OF the CUTICURA REMEDIES, The effect was
marvellous. Her case of Eczema not only COM
pletely cured, but her Rheumatism was greatly re.
1ieved during the treatment. Six years have elapsed
since the cure was performed. her rheumatism has
since never increased by the treatment, but rather
diminished. and she sees no symptoms of the re-
turn of the Eczema which once so completely took
possession of her face and body. Miss Atwood de
lights in telling of the good effects that the CUTI
CURA treatment had upon her and recommends,
