LETTERS to MONTPELIER PEOPLE. Mrs.
Brown, Montpelier, Vt. Madam: You
won't like our Harmless soap at first. The
reason is: Harmless is a mild soap; you
are used too strong soap
Going from strong soap to mild is big
jump. It's like going from beer to water.
Water quenches thirst better than beer, but
the man who is used to beer won't have a
very good opinion of water. He won't like
the change at first After he gets used to 1t,
though, he will like it. He sees the after
effects are better and it is more economical.
So it is with soap.
Habit has great deal to do with wo-
mans liking soap.
You like strong soap because you are
used to it..
You will like mild soap, too-after you
get used to it,
The longer you use mild soap the better
you will like it. Use tia month and you'll
say it's mighty good soap use it six months
and you'll say it's the best you ever used; {;
use it year and you'll find you are saving
a great deal OF money on clothes Qf you
have any way of comparing) besides saving
a little money in soap. Yours truly, G. II.

Russia has certainly put Japan's
nose out of joint in the Korean PENN
sula. According to the Japan Adver-
tiser the provisions of the convention
between the two countries are as fol-
lows:
THAT all matters regarding 10.
rean military affairs are to be entrust-
ed solely to the control of Russia.
2.-That Russia be granted free
working of any of the mines in Ko-
rea
3.-That the Russian authorities
may lay telegraph wires between no
rea and Russia at any time.
THAT the Korean government
will receive assistance by the Russian
government in the adjustment of its
finances.
5.-That Russia and Korea will en-
ter into closer alliance when necessa-
ry in time of emergency.
This throws the whole of the finan-
cial situation into the hands of Rus
STA. and the power of the purse is
even greater than the power of the
sword in dealing with minor coun-
tries. That Japan should feel this con-
vention keenly is not to be wondered
at. All the fruits of her war with
China have practically disappeared.
The Russian Bear has quietly stepped
in and taken the whole of the chest
nuts that the japanese had got, or
wanted to get, out of the fire. 1t is
no wonder that Japan is strengthen
ing her fleet. When Russia has Korea
tight in her grasp she will be looking
for footing in Japan itself. Russian
/ ambition is boundless and will cause
| trouble in the Pacific before many
/ years are over.

ker's Island were company organic
ed in New York, and DIR. G.. T. Judd
was their agent in this city. Some Of
our old residents will remember the
arrival of the clipper ship White Swal-
low, chartered by Samuel G, Wilder,
who took the vessel to Bakers Island
and loaded her with fun cargo OF
guano, which was taken to New York,
and what a sensation it caused at the
time.
Other islands were then taken up
and the American guano business was
at once established. Mr.. Wilder was
made governor of Bakers Island, and
was succeeded as governor by Colonel
Charles II. Judd, who with his wife
and children resided there some years.
A large number of vessels were load
ed there and at the islands above nam
ed. 1t was the occupation of these
guano islands and the new trade in
phosphate guanos which led Congress
to pass a law annexing them to the
United States.
