A pretty story is told Of Mrs. Harold
Mccormick while she was Miss Edith
Rockefeller, showing the simple manner
in which she regarded her father + great
wealth.
The incident occurred when she was
a pupil at one of the fashionable New
York schools. She with party Of girls
from her class, presented herself at a GER
tain furniture dealers to choose a gift
for favorlte teacher. The price of the
pretty writing desk, however, was more
than the sum in their possession. The
girls suggested that if the desk was
sent they would forward the balance as
soon as possible,
The proprietor very politely, but also
very decidedly, Informed the girls that
he could not do as they asked. But, I"
he said, eff You can think of any New
York business man with whom any of
your fathers are acquainted and who
will vouch for you the matter may pos
sibly be arranged.
"Why," said the daughter of the
papa has an Office down on Broadway.
Possibly we can get the money there"
"Who is your father?" queried the
dealer.
His name is Rockefeller" replied
the girl simply; "John d. Rockefeller.
He is in the oil business -
The merchant gasped and looked at
the girl is amazement. John d. Rookie
Teller yOur father? Is John ID. Rookie
Teller good for 1882" he repeated in ex-
citement.
Then he recovered his presence of
mind sufficiently to order the desk pack
ed up and sent Immediately, while Miss
Edith, very much astonished at his I'M
wonted excitement, thanked him with
pretty and simple grace. Philadelphia

THE VERNON FUGITIVE SLAVE
CASE.

Editor Of the RegiSt r The late Oliver
johnson of Brooklyn, n. Y, who lived
in Middlebury in his younger days, has
given a sketch of the celebrated fugitive
slave case that will well bear repeating
in order that ii may not be forgotten. In
February, 1896, the second annual meet
ing of the Vermont Anti-Slavery society
was held in the "tOwu room" of the old
court house in this place. During the
exercises "A letter was read from William
Lloyd Garrison, the founder of the anti
slavery movement. Mr.. Garrison says:
Il read some years ago All anecdOte
which | quite rs characteristic of the
spirit which anmate> the people of your
patriotic State. A Shareholder, ia pur-
suit of a runaway slave, finding him in
one of your villages, Immediately pOunced
upon him and brought him before Judge
Harrington of the supreme court, pre-
senting at the same time what he cOusid-
cred indubltable evidence. by a bill Of
sale, Il at the victim was his lawful prop
cry. But the Judge demurred. He
wanted other proof. AT last the Cypress
or passOnately desired to know what ev.
idence would salty him that the slave
belonged To the claimant, A bill of sale
from the Almight', was the memorable
reply. The audience at this point broke
out IN a cheer that fairly shook the walls
of the old building in which they were
convened"
When the reading of the letter had been
/ finished Hon. DOrastus Wooster, ven
cradle citizen of Middlebury, rose and
stated that the decision WAS made in his
| hearing in the very room where the soci-
ETY. was then assent led. y.

ELECTRICITY IN THE EARTH.

Is 1t the Awful Force That Will Finally
Destroy the World?
"Take spade, turn up "A small quan
tity of soil, hold portion in your hand,
hold it 10 your ear, then smell it. You
will observe first Il slight motion, hear
faint sound as of the moving Of dis
tant timber. and readily notice the odor
of heat. Do you know that the forces
held in your hand are from electricity
that the earth for three feet deep is alive
with the invisible power and forms the
secret of vegetable life? Waves Of
electricity are constantly passing
through the soil in unseen pillows, thus
keeping the soil from souring, as the
pillows of the ocean keep the waters
from becoming stagnant To demon
strate this fact, go to some rock bound
pool, dip out a small quantity Of the
polluted water, place it in bottle, cork
and set aside IN Il warm place for a short
time. Then take the bottle into dark
room, shake the bottle, draw ont the
cork, and you will see tiny forks of blue
lightning shoot out from the bottle, and
if you keep perfectly quiet you will hear
faint mutterings like thunder. This
comes from the fiintlike rocks prevent
ing the unbroken flow Of electricity
through the soil and from the air be-
coming charged and emptying itself in
to the water.
Electricity, as is being gradually
shown, is fire-the fire of friction, il
you will, the first known by the inhabit-
ants of our globe. Look at an arc lamI
and see its combined sparks as they
emit from the carbons so swiftly that
they are taken for a regular flame of eye
bedazzling light. In the ages to come
the charge IF electricity will keep OF
accommodating until some commutiol
of the earth will cause it to ignite
when, in the twinkling of an eye, oui

wrapped and consumed by a confagra
ton that viii startle if not brighten thu

burn up one Of the greatest works Of thu

Success Is relative; it must be meas

that way there have been few greater
successes in American journalism than
the Burlington Daily News. Started
about a year and half ago in modest

soon passed nearly all the older news
papers of the State in the race for circu-
lation and popularity.
At the present time it stands at the
head Of the dailies in Vermont clrcula-
ton and In total circulation 1t is equaled
by only one daily and perhaps two
Weeklies. The mere statement OF such a
success must convince everybody that
there is reason for it., that the News has
a substantial basis of merit which has 40
quickly placed it in the front rank of
Vermont newspapers.
There is no better one cent paper-nOr
indeed few so good-in any small city OF
this country. 1t contains the news of
the world, all the local news of its city,
surrounding towns, and the State, mar
ket reports, stories, interesting occur
rences, sporting events, fashions,

and unusual things that make interesting
reading in the home.
The News costs only one cent copy,

JimineZ drew a revolver and leveled IT at
EZcta's breast.
The former dictator of Salvador retained
his presence of mind, and, seizing chair,
he held it over JimiDez's head and dared him
to fire. In another moment the WAlld-he
assassin was diSarmcd by Ezeta S friends
