international bimetalism as world
possibility is dead.
"Let US recognize this. The interna-
tional bimetallic commission appointed un-
der the St. Louis pledge of the republican
party have made strenuous efforts on be.
balf of this policy. These efforts have
proved futile. The commercial necessities
of the world have demonstrated that dual
standard is commercially unacceptable and
in the present stage of civilization, impos
sible.
1.-The hour has come, it seems to US
when national recognize n Of this fact i
necessary.
''The situation demands definite, clear
unequivocal declaration that internationa
bimetalism is dream of the past. The
United States must proclaim their acct p,
ance OF the world fact and plant themselves
finally on the single gold standard.

talk about great bargains to be had in Bos

talk about great bargains to be had in BosT
ton at this particular time is mere trick
| of the trade-a trap to catch the unwary.
The fact that the various railroad lines
are offering to carry passengers to Boston
at reduced rates is no reason why man
should lose time and squander his wealth
in travel when he can save money by stay
ing at home. Whoever pursues so foolish
course is about as sensible as the igno-
rant foreigner who came to this country
for the express purpose of begging his way
back to his own. Money>s not in enter
prises of this sort. People who spend their
time in petty bargain hunting rarely get
rich; but ii they must pursue the sport let
them confne their operations to the home
field. 1t will pay them in the end.
Even ia place the size of Bellows Falls
hundreds and hundreds.of dollars are spent
annually in city trade. Not long since the
writer heard remark to the effect that a
Bellows Falls woman had just sent $50
order to cloak house in Chicago. Wheth-
er she was well pleased with the purchase
has not been reported, but the chances are
that she could have done much better right
at home. There is every reason why home
people should patronize home merchants
They not only get as good goods for the
same money but the local merchant is-a
citizen and taxpayer. 1t costs money to
run even village government. Who pays
the bills? The local merchant does his share
of it he is interested in the welfare of the
community and comes nobly to the support
of its institutions. In what is the Boston
or Chicago merchant interestedP In get
ting the dollars and in that alone, and the
deluded mortal who thinks he is getting
$40 worth of goods for SIS of money is to
be pitied for his imbecility. The good old
Republican doctrine of protection to home
enterprise should not be limited to manu-
facturers alone.

DEATH OF MIRIAM F. LEBouRvEA

DEATH OF MIRIAM f. LEBOURvEAU.
Little Miriam Fay, only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred A. Lebourveau, died about
noon on Wednesday, November 10, aged
6 years and months. Always a delicate
child, yet this last fatal illness was only OF
a weeks duration. Growing rapidly worse
the first of the week DR.. w. II. Pierce Of
Greenfield, Mass. was called on Tuesday
to consult with DR.. Newton, but medical
skill and loving care proved of no avail
and her death, resulting from tubercular
perltonitis, occurred on the day following.
A winsome, lovable little girl, gentle in
manner and speech, favorite with her
childish companions and beloved by those
older, for whom she had always pleasant
smile and a shy little word Of greeting.
Her sudden death is shock to all, whose
hearts are inexpressibly saddened at so
grievous and untimely loss and whose
deepest sympathies are expressed for the
stricken parents and the members Of the
immediate family. 1t is written that % He
took the little ones in His arms and blessed
them," and our loss is surely her gain.
Funeral services conducted by Rev. F. w.
Pratt we're held Friday at o'clock in the
afternoon, and the floral tributes were
many and beautiful, an expression of the
love and sympathy so universally felt.

Three ways to get
Insurance..

Three ways to get
Insurance.
FIRST
Because the agent is personal friend of
yours. lives on your street or belongs to your
lodge or society.
SECOND
Because the agent bnthers ithe life out of
you ane you insure with him to get id of
him
THIRD
Because you examined the different
agencits 8 and select the one you think will do
l get most of my business by the third plan
soliciting very little, and many CAREFUL
persons select my agency. Ihere Is lots of
difference between real insD Drance and the
simple possession of a policy; this differ
ence Is not always apparent until after the
fire. Most insurance litigation is more the
fault of the agent than of the company. liza
policy is so written that wnen the fire comes
there Is no misunderstan ding as to what the
property insured consists of, who it belongs
to, and the nolicy is made a legal contract In
other respects, companies have to settle the
loss.
Careful attention is given all business in
trusted to my agency.
