A st. Johnsbury landlord named
Doyle has sent circular letters to all
hotel proprietors in Vermont inviting
them to meet in convention at Mont
pelier for the purpose of organizing
to defy the prohibitory law so far as
it interferes with them In serving
guests with liquor. He claims that it
is practically impossible to conduct
hotel and not sell in a moderate way
to the travelling public. We suggest
to Mr.. Doyle and his associates that it
would better become law-abidiDg citi-
Zens, such as most landlords claim to
be, to postpone this seditious assem-
blage, at least until the next legisla-
ture convenes, when they will doubt
less have an opportunity to present
their grievances to the law-makingI
body. They will gain nothing as con-
spirators against LAWN fact. such
conspiracy is in itself illegal. Law is

Randolph will be especially pleased
if Col. Kimball is selected, nor will
the satisfaction be merely local, as Mr..

Mr.. kimball was born and bred a
Green Mountain boy. His business

banking house in New York in 1865,

He has always had a home in RAN

bought his present place, known as
Montague Place, and in 1880 he re-

'uilt his present elegant residence. No

popular.
Such honors as have come to him +,
ave invariably been without self-so- ,
citation. In 1883 Governor Dilling- ,
am appointed him a member Of his
Military staff. In 1890 and 1891 he
presented the town of Randolph in
nc legislature and served on the COM g

How to be Rich Without Working. Editor of Nesrs
 I wonder how many of your readers have ever read Edward Bellamy'a book, Looking Backward. read it two or three years ago and no other book of recent date has given me so many new ideas. or impressed me so much as that, I had no idea onr social and political system was so defective, but it IS very clear to see after he has pointed it out. We are reminded of the remark once made by Judge Hardenbergh that a government of the people, by the peo- pie and for the people" IS yet to be es- abolished. will not discuss the merits or defects of the book here, but I do urge all to read it.
 Do you want to know how you can be as rich as your neighbor, and not work one half as hard as you do now? Read the book. Do you wish to be free from all fear of want coming to you or to your children? Read the book. Do you wish to know how everyone can have good education, live in luxury, and not work hard? Do you like an in- teresting story? Then read the book and see if his plan will solve these prob lems. And after reading it let us know what you think of it. M H. DEAN, Falls Village, Conn, Feb 8, 1895.

Where He Got It.

The little son of we'll known phy- sioian was entertaining playmate at his fathers house As children will, they ransacked every nook and corner of the building. Their curiosity led them to explore the recesses of a closet, in which the doctor keeps his instruments and other personal effects, among which is a complete skeleton. The strange boy was frightened when he first beheld the grinning remnant of what once had been a human being and started to run away. The doctors son, however, had seen the skeleton so often that he entertained for it only that feeling of contempt begot- ten by familiarity, and in little while succeeded in so allaying the fears of his companion that the youngster began to handle the thing and rattle its dry bones. Where did your father get it?" he finally asked. ''I don't know" was the reply, but guess it was his first pa- tient, for he's had it an awful long time. Butte Miner.
