has been witnessed in the armory. Han
cock led at the close of the first half by
score of to 0. In the second half Co. E
ran the score up to 8 to 4 During the last
FIVE minutes of play Hancock scored 2 goals,
tieing the score. Co. E scored another goal
during the extra time, winning by score
of 10 to s. The team work showed great
improvement and the whole team put up a
good game, the defensive work of Payne

MARKETING PRODUCE.

F. i'll. Valentine, Associate Editor Rural
NeD Yorker, spoke on the subject, Prepar-
ing and Marketing Farm Produce Some
Mistakes Of Shippers and Commission Mer-
chants" He said The great markets of
the world are a subject worthy the study of
every man who has any interest in the pro-
ducts. All products find market of some
kind. Our profits as growers depend on
what we know about markets. The key
note of the success OF farmer in the market
is growing crops. Don't place an inferior
crop on the market. 1t gives you black
eye with the market map; it causes a
glutted marker it drives prices down, and
eventually ruins the farmer who persists in
shipping inferior products.
We want to grow crops to make money,
and if we fail it is better to take up some
other business vocation. We must study
the demands of market and then supply
it. The manner of putting up products is
also source of profit. Attractiveness is a
source of revenue. We ought to work up a
home market, which is a paying invest
ment.
Cooperation in the sale Of products is
great help. Some of the mistakes of ship
pers are easily overcome by attention to
the quality and quantity of crops sent to
market and by keeping in touch with the
commission merchants"

talk on plant foods, waists Of plant foods,

LETTERS TO MONTPELIER PEoPLE.-Mrs.
Smith, Montpelier, Vt, Madam: We want
your soap trade; to get 1t we offer you the
highest priced laundry soap on the market
instead Of the lowest-because highest is
cheaper than lowest you'll use less Of it
and won't rot the clothes. We do not en-
tice you with lower prices nor prizes; we
would gain your custom with higher quail
ties-mildness and durability. We do not
presume to instruct you as to what you
want; we simply say that If you want the
most economical soap it is possible to make,
we make it. If you want the cheapest soap
to use--not the cheapest in price, but the
cheapest to use-we make it. We are not
trying to see how much we can give you for
little money. You can get lumber and
clothing at any price, but not oak at the
price Of hemlock nor silk at the price OF
cotton. Soap which has the durability OF
oak, and that don't rot clothes cannot be
sold 9, 7, 8, 8, 10 cakes for quarter. II
Harmless soap cost less than cents a
pound it would not be mild, nor would 1t
be durable. We guarantee one bar Is cent?
to outwash two Scent cakes. II you say II
doesn't, your grocer will give you back
cents on each bar. Yours truly, q. III

Oldest Family Paper in Central Vermont

Birmingham state herald., 1897-04-25
[Copyright, 1S97.l

One of the few women in this coun- try who have attained financial inde- pendence through their own efforts in the course of a few years and been thus enabled to retire on a competency at that time of life when most business women are only just beginning to get firm foothold is Mrs. Augusta J. King of Denver, who has distinguished her self by being originator, manager and proprietor of business which amount ed to $1O0,000 per year.
 Mrs. Kings entire business career ex- tended over period of little more than a dozen years. From the very begin hing her success was marked, and it's financial position began early to make itself manifest.
 Independent fortune making is still decidedly new feature even among the very newest of women, and the story of this woman's success is as wonderful as the tales of Aladdin. Mrs., Augusta J. King, almost penniless but a few years ago, now lives in affluence of her own earning, devoting herself to her elegant household, to society and to philanthropy, quite like the wives of so many successful business men whom one meets in every progressive com munity.
 More than this, she has educated a daughter so admirably that that young woman now, at the age of 20, has occu- pied for four years an honored position in the faculty of the Emerson School of Oratory at Boston and has made a reputation through all New England as reader.
 Altogether Mrs. Kings life story is superlatively worth telling, proving, as it does beyond peradventure, what a woman may do in financial fields if she will only use tact and persistence.
 Mrs. King was reared in affluence at Bethlehem, Conn. She possessed mu sical talent and when 10 years old en- joyed the proud prerogative of village organist. She received good educa tion, musical and otherwise, became an instructor of the piano and was thought to have a fine musical career ahead of her when she relinquished it to become the wife of MT. Daniel M. King, who had just been admitted to the bar at Litchfield, Conn. MT. and Mrs. King then removed to Chicago, where, after a few years engaged in active practice, MT. King developed consumption, and the young couple were obliged to re-
  to Denver, where it was hoped the fa- nous Colorado air and sunshine might restore the young husband to health and strength. But MT. King was never able to engage in the duties of profess sional life again, and Mrs. King soon set about doing something to help out the family income. She took position as organist at Trinity Memorial church and had soon worked up a large class in music. Many of her pupils she found at that time had no piano. She therefore began to devise some method of securing pianos at wholesale prices, and not having money she borrowed it, giving her household furniture as secu- rity and paying per cent interest.
 This" says Mrs. King, q did with fear and trembling, not even admitting my husband into my confidence lest anxiety for the risk had taken should

 Thus gradually Mrs. King went into business at home, caring assiduously for her invalid husband and young child at the same time and keeping up her affiliations with church and society. In a short time the different piano firms began to feel that she was a strong competitor and offered to supply all the capital necessary and divide the profits equally if she would leave Denver and locate wherever she chose. But Mrs. King stoutly declined this proposition, because it would have necessitated leaving the care of her dear ones to others
 Within a year, however, her husband was taken with violent hemorrhages, and his physician advised him to go to Pueblo for change of air. A long es- tablished firm of piano merchants in Denver, on hearing of this, called at once and repeated the offer previously made by the various piano dealers in
 
 establish a business for them at Pueblo and to take a salary as their manager. This she did, receiving $20O per month in return for her services.
 While in Pueblo she made a great suc- cess in business for her employers and speculated in real estate quite eXten- sively for herself
 | About this tine she sent her husband | and daughter east for a short visit to relatives and in their absence built a house and furnished it handsomely to welcome their return. Shortly after this MT. King died, and Mrs. King. desiring to remove from Pueblo, rendered her resignation to her Denver employers, who declined to accept it, authorizing her to establish business wherever she chose and draw or them for any amount. She then located at Cheyenne, Wy, placing her daughter, Julia, at

THE FAIR SEX AT
 THE RACE TRACK.

Horse racing has been truly termed the sport of kings. What grander sight is there anywhere than two mighty thoroughbreds laundering down the home stretch with the foam flying from flank and nostril and the dust rolling away behind like a veritabie storm cloud? It is grand from the standpoint of great effort, heroic g1meness and marvellous speed. But@to the wo:nan who gambles it is merely a case Of q spinning ball whirling around a vast roulette table. And when the numbers are hoisted it is again only a matter of Black wins" or Red wins" and then away she rushes to place another bet What is sauce for the man is probably sauce for the woman. But how about her little ones?
 As you glance over them the thought must come to you as to how deep the dust is on her parlor furniture. How about the "Cod Bless Our Home" over the mantel and the socks that are waiting to be darned? Above all, what argument can she give for frittering away her money on 6 game which is profitable to none but the horse owners and the bookmakers?
 The crowd of women at the races vst- ries but little. There are different gowns each day, but always the same faces, with the same tense lines on them. Race track etiquette forbids these women to go down into the ring to place their money. No doubt they would like to. but during the history Of the track no woman has ventured twice into that pushing, jostling throng. It's won- der. too, for the women out there are not, in the main, of the timid, retiring sort. They are not there for fun, but for coin. and nearly all of them think they know a thing or two about horses.
 Some women are features of the race tracks and are pointed out to newcom- CTS. They always occupy the same seats and arc well known by the messengers and loungera around the grand stands.

a prominent citizen when he knew at Pueblo, asking what was the cause Of the Cheyenne boom.
 Three years later Mrs. King retired frowi the Denver firms employ and established a piano business for herself at Denver, taking for her partners two reliable business men from Maine. Her piano store was an elegantly furnished parlor, where she gave weekly musi- calcs, which were in the nature of pri- vate entertainments and were immense ly popular, an advertising scheme which brought rich rewards. Mrs. King made money from the first and within a very short time was doing business of $100,000 a year She built an elegant residence on Capitol hill and in few years sold her interest in the business to her partners.
 Next she invested in real estate at ogden, Utah, purchasing tract of 40 acres and naming it Kings Addition to
