The Greatest Remedy of

Hon. Lewis Russell of East Middlebury,
Vt. has had an experience during the past
two years which Is a very common one In
the State of Vermont, but very few have
been fortunate enough to find the key TO
escape in SO short a time. There is happily
ono remedy for these evils that seldom fails
to vanquish them entirely, "Allen's Sarsa-
parilla." Read what Mr.. Russell says in
his letter to Mr.. Allen:
EAST M1DDLEBURY, VT, May 30, SO.
Mr.. II. j. Allen,
Dear Sir:--I will state to you what kind
of time | have had with Eczema or Salt
Rheum. For the past two years it has
been mere than | would wish to endure for
any small sum. Some four weeks ago |
was taken with Rheumatism in my legs
and hips and for three weeks | could
hardly get around the house. Two
bottles of Aliens Sarseparilla have cured
my Eczema and nearly cured my rneuma-
tism. shall use one or two bottles more
and | think it will cure me entirely. l
have taken many other kinds of medicine
for my troubles all to no good effect. l
think yours is the stuff.

STILL ANOTHER RATCHET.
The Borden Murderer May Have Thrown
1t Nhero 1t Was Found.


1t Where 1t Was Found.
FALL RIVER, June 16.-About 7 O'Clock
Thursday evening number of boys were
playing ball on Third street, in front Of
John CIR we's barn, which is nearly in the
rear of the Borden estate. During the game
the ball was thrown upon the roof of the
barn and Arthur Potter, II years old,
scaled the building In quest OF it.
Near the northwest corner of the main
building he found hatchet. He forgot
the ball, and rushed for the Ratchet and
then rang out his salute to the boys below;
I've found Lizzie Borden's Ratchet"
The Ratchet is an ordinary single
Ratchet, with blade three and three
quarters inches in length, 1t was covered
with rust, and part of this was scraped of
by the boy when found. 1t has the ap-
penrance OF having bsen comparatively new
and but little used. The under side OF the
handle had few slight stains, but nothing
that resembied spots. Near the head OF
the Ratchet these stains were more pro-
nounced.
| The boys were very much excited over
the fluid and it was given to Mr.. Potter, the
father of the finder, who now has it in his
possession II the murderer OF Andrew j.
| Borden aud his wife escaped from the Bor
den premises by the rear, and it was a very
easy way for him to escape, he could easily
have thrown the hatchot to the place where
1t was found.

DEFENCE TESTINON Y.
LAWYER JENNINGS MAKES THE
OPENING ARGUMENT.

Several Dweliers in the Vicinity of
the Borden Home Testify to Events
Which Prefnced tho Murders. Far
ticular!y to the Presence OF Strange
Young Nnn In the Noighborhood on
tho Morning of tho Ira.edJ.
New BEDFORD, Mass, Juno Is. - The
10th day of the borden murder trial opened
with hot weather conditions and blg
crowd In attendance. Miss Borden was
overwhelmed with floral offerings THE
morning, and appeared in excellent spirits
despite the.seemlngiy disheartening sgnid-
canoe of yesterdays proceedings.
The first witness was Charles II. Lawton
of New Bedford, G druggist. lie was asked
several questions as to prussic acid, its
uses the formula of its sale. etc. ETC.. but
all these questions were objected to by the
defence and were excluded by the court.
He was then asked il it was put 70 any
other purpose for medicine, and in reply said
he knew of mono.
Henry Ii. Tillson OF New Bedford, q
dealer in furc, testified that he had at times
preserved furs; was asked if prussic acid
we're ever used in the case of furs but his
answer was objected to by defsnce and or
derod stricken out. lie had no knowledg 20
OF the effect of tho acid on furs.
Nathaniel Hathaway of New Bedford, an
analytical chemist, was asked about. the
suitably of prussic eacid in connection with
furs. The question was objected to an
ruled 'out, court considering it too broad.
The question was put in substantially the
same form with seal skin furs as the basis
of the inquiry, and tho answer was that it
was unsuitable, and also unsuitable for use
In, nIa Far M, /.
soid that a two per cent dilution Of prussic
acid would kill insects promptly and would
not hurt furs.
Dr. DoIan was Recalled,
| but defence objected to his testitying fur
ther because he had been in consulate ION
with one OF the counsel for tho prosecution.
He was allowed to testify, although general
| objections were entered.
He was asked practically the Same ques-
tons as the previous witnesses, relative tc
the use and effect of prussic acid, and gave
about the same replies. Dir. Dolan was ex
cussd from further testifying, court ruling
that his testimony was Incompetent.
When DR.. Doan left the stand the Jury
were retired to their room, and counsel ant
| justices engaged in "a whispered consulta
tion lasting 10 minutes. The jury was thel
! brought in and court stated that further
delay asked Tor by tho government cOulC
not be granted. After consultation, it wa,
announced AT 1920 that the preliminary
eyidsnce did not come up to the claim O
the prosecution, namely, that tue allegel
purchase Of prussic acid by the prisoner OF
the day bsfore the murder had weight an,
bsaring on the homicide, and evidence as t.
the attempted purchases OF prussic acid By
tho defendant is excluded.

square in Europe.
The Obelisk in the center of the Place de

statue of Justice stood in the days of the

bloody terror. Marie Antoinette was exc

fountains were placed over other sites OF

exact hundred years from the death OF

hypnouzed- The cabs. of which he was
afraid before, become as nothing. The
omnibus has three great horses. all abreast
a special giant breed with feet as big as
hams and rafting chains. They shake
their heads and snort, to show they are no
patient drudges. The jovial driver, high
in air. will never slacken his speed though
he should crush your ribs. Get out, Get
out!-run in upon a cab-but clear the path
at any risk for the ponderous tyrant of the
Paris streets, the Paris omnibus.
The insolence Of the Paris omnibus driv-
er is the same that of the Paris cabman
only maSnified by opportunity-he has a
heavier vehicle. The perfect condition of
the streets permits mis- rushing mercilessly;
and as he bears down on you with a beast

steam upon the chilly autumn air, you ask
II you living in the eighteenth or nine

You can see foreigners-New Workers and
Londoners. both used to crowded streets
at home-snake their fists at the gratuitous
outrages of cabs and omnibuses. Parisians
look mildly curious. Why is the gentleman
SO angry? They cannot understand.
When once you are inside Paris omnibus
or, better yet. on top. the great distinction
of this vehicle is comfort. No crowding is
permitted Each passenger must have a
seat. The back platform has three legal
standing places. When you stand there a

Too Beautiful to Live.

From the London Spectator.
The pride and flower of all the youth of
the Zoo is the young hippopotamus. AS ii
lies on its side. with eyes half closed its
square nose, like the end of a bolster tilted
upward, it's little fat legs stuck out straight
at right angles to it's body and it's toes
turned up like = ducks, it looks like a gil
Gantic newborn rabbit. 1t has a pale, pc
tunia-colored stomach, and the same ar
tistic shade adOrns the sOles of it's feet
1t has a double chin, and its eyes like a
bull calfs, are set on pedestals, and close
gently it goes to sleep with a bland
enormous smile. 1t cost 600 when quite
small, and, to quote the opinion of an emf
nent grazier, who looking it over with
a professional eye, it still looks like grow
ing into money" There are connosseurs
in hippopotamus breeding who think it al
most too beautiful to live.
