In Favor Of the Feather.Bed.

While q well.founded prejudice ex
lets against the old-fsshioned feather
bed, it certainly has much to recon
mend it to the liking Of persons whI
live In very cold localities, or In colt
country houses. A feather bed prop
erly kept, and treated in accordance
with the demands of hygiene, is jus
as wholesome bed Rs one can desirr
for the winter. But, mark you, ther
is deal of meaning 10 these two con
ditions. A properly kept feather-bel
is one that is subject to very frequen
sirings and sunningS. Feathers OK
posed to the sun and wind acquire sur
prising lightness and freshness; In fact
they ill a bedroom with a sense O
freshness, even though they are csseC
in ticking. A hair mattress needs th'
same summing and airing as a feather
bed, but 1t will not be perme
sted through and through like thu
feathers; for hair packs and be
comes more impervious. The airing
and summing that renews the freshness
must be one Of some duration, q couple
Of hours at least. Country houses
with piazzas give fine opportunity fol-
airing the family beds, and should be
taken advantage of every clear day,
/ know Of no more comfortable bed
than good festher-bed that has lain
a couple Of hours in the winter wind
and sunshine on top Of q piazza roof.
Such a bed in q cold country house
needs only hot water bag filed with
hot water placed near the foot, and
plenty of clean wholesome blankets, to
be an admirable resting place for a
wintry night.
In city houees feather.be are not
necessary luxury, but they are in frame
cottages In exposed situations In the
country, especially in mountainous re.
giOns.
Now as to belngtreated hygienically,
that means they should periodically be
clesnsed, renewed, as 1t were. This
should be done In summer. To clean
a festher.bed expose it to the heaviest
showers, stretching 1t on q frame or
trestle 80 that the water can soak
through. Do this several times, turn
ing the bed over, 80 that first one side,
and then the other, can receive a thor.
ough drenching. The sunshine of
summer has an almost equally purify.
ing effect. Many housewives will OBJ.
ject to this treatment, never having
tried it. Let them once renew their
beds in this way and they will gladly
repeat 1t the next summer. Geese
feathers are made to stand the effects
of water; they improve by contact with
It, and renew their elasticity. It hap.
pens, however, that the ticking fades,
but what does 1t signify whether the
ticking is faded or not, so long as 1t
becomes clesnp Put new tickinRs on
when necessary, but keep your feathers
wholesome. A clean festher.bed is
wholesome, q foul one is vile; that's
the difference, and mighty difference,

DEPEWS PATRIOTIC Talk.
Interesting Anniversary Exercises of the
Vermont Society, Sons of the Rev

MONTPELIER, VI, Nov. 23.-The an
niversary exercises of the Vermont So
clety, Sons of the Revolution, were held
in Arnory Hall this afternoon, the chief
feature being an grafton by Chauncey NJ.
Depew. At the armory fully 5000 people
assembled, including delegations from
Bu lington, Rutland, ST. Albans and other
places.
The hall was divided into sections and
the guests were seated by a detail of
tWenty-four mem bers OF the Vermont Ma
tlonal Guard acting as ushers. The exer-
cises opened with prayer. Ex-Governor
Dillingham then. after felicitious ad-
dress, introduced Mr.. Depew. Mr.. Depew
devoted the major portion of his remarks
to sketch of colonial history of the
Green Mountain State. its part in the rev.
olutiouary war with the glorious incidents
like Bennington, Ticonderoga and Crown
Point until in 1871, when Vermont added
another star to the flag of the Union.
Then after an eloquent excitement of the
principles of our Government and the
duties of patriotic societies to educate the
people. he said:
The shifting standard of value is not
American. a paternal government is not
American. Any effort to array the people
into classes, when employers and en-
ployes are constantly changing places, Is
not American. An assault upon the I'M
portance of the Judiciary is not American.
American liberty is the liberty of law and
order.'
He concluded:
Gentlemen, let US learn and teach the
principles upon which our Government
has grown to its great and beneficial pro.
portions; let Us enforce the lesson that
American liberty is the, preservation of
American opportunity for man to rise
above the condition in which he was
born, and win honors from his fellowmen
and protection from his country, the re-
suits which have come to him by bis tai
ents, his industry. his wisdom, his pru-
dence, his thrift and his good citizenship"
reception was given Mr.. Depew after
the exercises.

Policeman ]. ]. Crowley has had an ad-
venture that has nearly turned his hair
gray.
About 9 o'clock Sunday night George
Terrill, 1927 Seventeenth street, sent a
message to the Seveuteenth-street police
station that a thief was locked up in his
henhouse, and 10 send an officer at once to
arrest him.
Crowley, who is a recent addition to the
force. was on station duty, and Lieutenant
Burke instructed him TO go with the
patrol wagon and bring the chicken-thief
to the station.
You will have to be careful" said the
lieutenant, land keep your head cool, as
the thief may be armed and offer resist
ance."
Crowley smiled grimly, and after care
fully examining his revolver took his seat
in the wagon and in a few minutes reached
Terrills house. TerrilI told him that for
weeks past valuable fowls had been stolen
from the henhouse, but the strange thing
about il was that only one was taken at a
time. few minutes before he sent the
message to the station he heard a commo-
ton am ong the fowls, and knew that the
thief was there again, so he quietly
slipped up to the henhouse and locked the
door.
Crowley and Terrill held a consultation
of war and decided upon plan OF opera
ton. Terrili armed himself with an ak
and Crowley pulled out his revolver and
lighted stub OF a candle he had in his
POCKET.
Terrill held the ak in his right hand and
inserted the key in the lock with hi. left
hand. Just as he threw open the door
Crowley was to level the revolver at the
thief and order him to throw up MS
hands.
When all was in readiness Terrill nm
locked and threw open the door and
jumped aside with ak uplifted. while
Crowley leveled his revolver and had lust
got the words Throw up'' out of his
mouth when something dashed out of the
henhouse and rushed between Crowley
legs, tripping him up ana throwing him
on his back.
What Is it?" yelled Crowley.
ITS coon," yelled Terrill, who aimed
blow at 1t with the ak and split it's head
open. 1t had hen in it's mouth. The
coon had been the thief, but how it sl.
ways managed to get into the henhouse.

Crowley had to return to the station
without prisoner, but it will be ION o
