From the White River Junction Landmark
1t is the common opinion that in
several counties the lax enforcement OF
the law is due to the fact that officers
make more money in year by per
hitting the traffic to continue, making
now and then a raid to keep up APP
pearances. Breaking up the business
wholly would be like killing the
goose that lays the golden egg" Be
sides this, liquor seller when backed
up by money generally makes his in
fiuence felt in politics and elective
officers who wish to hold their places
do not care to offend too deeply that
class of politicians.

FC Harrington of East st JOhnsbury, has
RECENTLY perfected new printing press that is
moi eGuaIlcd In simplicity and speed or excelled
In the character of work done upon by any
job press in the market. The principle feature
of the iynention is a stationary platen. Ihls
makes it possible for the one feeding to place
! unon IL the paper or card with nicer eXactness
and far greater rapidity than when, as In other
nresses. the platen is constantly in motion. The
mechanism of the press Is simplicity itself,
averythinp not needed for effectiveness being
,i;sn.,nsed with The inventor has named 1t
the Owl press and has had it patened. The
ranifiify with which it is possible to print on
this press Is wonderful

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away bottle of their Digestive Cordia
TO any one who might call at their New
York office, there was a great rush and
a great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have
been very clever advertising transac-
ton, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in the end
profitable nearly every one that took
a free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
had derived better results from its use
than from any other medicine they had
ever used.
There is nothing SO uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, and what is better than all, it
relieves at once.

Some Time.

Some Time.
Last night, my darling, as You slept
thought ! heard you sigh,
And to your little crib crept,
And watched space thereby;
And then stopped and kissed your brow.
For oh, love you So
You are too young to know it now,
But sometime you shall know!
Some time when, In q darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon face
Calm In eternal sleep;
The yoiceless lips. the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile shall show
You are to young too know 1t now,
But some time you may know
Look backward, then. into the years,
And see me here tonight M
See, o my darling, how my tears
Are falling as write,
And feel once more upon yonr brow
The kiss of long ago
Your are too young to know IL now,
But some time you shall know.
