Arrested for burglary.

Three tramps were arrested Thurs.
day near Hampton, N. u, by Deputy
Sheriff Whitaker of Rutland and
Deputy Sheriff Polly of Fair Haven.
The men were taken for breaking into
the Vermont Marble company's store
at Center Rutland the Tuesday night
before. When the arrest was made a
part of the stolen goods was recovered.
The sheriffs received word Thursday
morning that.the'tramps were working
westward on the Delaware Il Hudson
road, and boarded west bound train,
being let off a short distance behind
the tramps. When they came up with
the men one of the thieves drew a
knife and attempted to stab Sheriff
Polly, but the tramp was knocked to
the ground before he could use the
weapon. The other two men showed
fight but were brought to terms by
Sheriff Whitaker. The men were
taken to Whitehall, N. Y, where they
will remain in custody until they are
brought to Rutland on a requisition
by the governor.

zeal ills, which vanish before proper Ell
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms o.
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated conti-
ton of the system, which the pleas2ht
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of

Puzzling over the matter, he argued:
Turkeys do not go over 20 or 30 miles
to feed, and then return. There must
be high ground not very far In the
swamp to which they go to feed or es-
cape pursuit. If so, 1t may be worth
