DON'T think for a moment, says an ex.
change, that when a man stops his sub
scriptiOn to local paper that he intends
TO stop reading it. Not at all. He is
simply going to play the sponge act, and
borrow his reading from his more patr-
otto and enterprising neighbor. Such
people would pick the cOppers from dead
mems eyes, were they to have the oppor-
tunity.
WE note with pleasure that the ,sug-
gestions of Attorney Sheldon, brought
out through enquiries by the BANNER,
in relation to calling special town and
village meetings, has been acted upon by
several other places than Bennington.
The date fixed for all of them seems to
be the 18th, inst. We hope the Austral-
ian ballot will be retained by them all,
as there was no sense in changing the
law to local option.

ton: Mr.. Putnam is a member of the
boating and he has always participated
in the clubs annual regattas with his
sailing yacht Thetis. He is splendid
sailor and had the great pleasure of pi-
loting his yacht to victory in the chal-
lenge cup race in 1893. Mr.. Putnam's
island summer home is one of the most
beautiful on the whole lake. The island
is charmngly located some half way be-
tween Thompson's Point and Cedar
Beach in a little bay, the south point of
which forms Deer Point. 1t is sufficient
ly well covered with cedar, birch and
hemlock and other trees to shade its
hooks and make them highly attractive.
On the east slope of the island he has
erected handsome and cOmodious cot
tage. He takes delight in making his
property attractive. Nights when there
are excursions up the lake he decorates
a good part of the island, hanging differ
ent colored lanterns on boughs of the
trees and suspends them from tops of
poles, and invariably as the steamer with
the excursion passes around the island
he sees to that lot of pretty fireworks
are set off. The effect of the decorations
and the pyrotecbnics is very beautiful,
and many Burlingtonian has gone on
such an excursion the second, third and
fourth time to enjoy this spectacle af-
forded by Mr.. Putnam's liberality
Lake Champlain only wants a few more
Putnams to make it's shores as attractive

HAVE A SHOE.HORN.
How to Take Care Of Shoes When They
Get Wet.


How to Take Care OF Shoes When They
Get Wet.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Never try to put on low shoe unless
you have a shoehorn; you will be sure
to stretch it out of shape in the back
and make 1t ill-fitting. Keep the but
tons sewed on your shoes and good
strings in your laced boots, unless you
want the men to sayyou are a "slouch."
Have a paste patch put over the first
sign Of break in your shoe, and they
will keep in shape and last twice as
long. Buy good shoes If possible
Cheap shoes and cheap gloves are a
snare for the unwary. They get out of
shape, are ill-fitting, and do not wear
well. 1t is false economy to buy cheap
foot or hand shoes.
A woman hates to get her nice. new
shoes wet because it spoils them So
but with care the wetting will not hurt
them much. AS soon as you can re-
move the wet shoes do so, and rub
than well with a soft rag, to get some
of the dampness out, and to take off
all the mud: then rub them with a
cloth saturated with kerosene. Get as
much of the oil into them as possible
and then fill them as full of dry oats
as you can and set them aside for a
few hours, when apply another coating
of kerosene. The stiffness will have
disappeared, and the shoe will be in
good shape when you want to don il
again.

Throughout the city there was feel
ing Of helplessness, not unmiXed with
eXasperation. To see that balloon up
there placidly swaying to and fro. to
know that within few hours 1t might
release its frightful burden, to feel the
uncertainty of where the inevitable
explosion would occur; beyond all, to
realize that every instant brought the
catastrophe nearer, was maddening.
Where were all the electricians and the
engineers and the chemists and the in
ventors generally? Was it possible that
the much-boasted national ingenuity
had recoiled, conquered and humiliat-
ed before such n problem as this? SO
talked the angry people in the streets.
Meanwhile the news of the peril of
the metropolis had spread over the
country and, singular to say, It's prin-
cipal effect upon the suburban popula-
tion was a burning desire to witness
the big explosion, as 1t could do them
no harm. Consequently, the Philadel-
phians, and the New Havenites, and
the Albanians, besides the dwellers in
other nearby towns. nocked in great
cohorts into New York. They came
in on the morning trains with their
children, and their 1unch baskets. and
biv ouacked in hordes in the uptown
streets, just outside. the police Gordon

Moltke bowed and retired. A few
days afterward the minister of war,

an important subject to the king.

I'VE will find him and bring him in,
sire" said the minister.
But attempts to find the general were
quite vain. kilograms were sent in
every direction, but he could not be
found. At the end Of his fortnight,
however, he presented himself to the
king.

asked King William. "Ten days ago
we were searching the kingdom and all
Germany for you in vain"
Il was in France, sire!' said Moltke.

at intervals to demand ice water or the
loan of a cup of milk. One man from
New Jersey brought some carpenters

This had not gone on long, when

Would the storm hasten the falling of
the dynamite? Suppose the balloon
should be struck by lightning!
Meanwhile the urgent appeals which
had been sent out by the mayor to all
the scientific people had resulted in an
imposing gathering of professors in the
Forty-fourth street boarding house.
Each having answered the call under
the implicit conviction that all the
others had been summoned for the ex-
press purpose of hearing his particular
views on the matter in hand, an air of
reserved dignity and gratified conde-

Any one who has ever had an attack
OF infammatory rheumatism will re-
joice with Mr.. j. A Stumm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his for
tunate escape from a siege of that dis
tressing aliment. MIR. Stumm is fore
man of Merriam's confectionery estab-
lishment. Some months ago, on leav-
ing the heated work room to run across
the street on an errand, he was caught
out in the rain. The result was that
when ready to go home that night he
was unable to walk, owing to infam-
matory rheumatism. He was taken
home, and on arrival was placed in
front of a good fire and thoroughly
rubbed with Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. During the evening and night
he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
especial pleasure in praising Chamber
Iain's Pain Balm, and always keeps a
bottle of it in the house. For sale by
