LEVERS & COOKIES TEAM.
Now Undisputed Tug of War Cham
pions of the Islands.

Nearly 1000 people witnessed the
tug of war pull between the Levers
& Cooke and Hackfeld teams at the
circus tent Saturday night, in which
the latter won in just 90 minutes. 1t
was hard and exciting pull. Tom
Wright and Mr.. Cameron were the
referees.
For fifteen minutes the rope did
not move over three inches either way
though desperate efforts mere made
on both sides. Then the Levers e.
Cooke team began TO take in an inch
at a time. The pull was won on an
unexpected jerk. followed by a strong
draw. Hacllfeld's anchor came up af-
ter desperate effort to hold his
position.
The pull decided the championship
of the Islands in favor of the Levers
q Cookies team. In the past week
they have defeated the Iron Works
seven, which held the championship
nearly a year. and this is a victory
over the recognized second best team
in the country.

Governor Grout is just now meet
ing demands for his personal presence
among companies Of Vermonters in
different cities, who get together as
organizations, have a good time,
and demonstrate anew their love for
and allegiance to their native
commonw wealth. 1t is hardly pos
sible for any governor to answer all
such calls-unless he surrenders I'M
condtionally and gives up his time
completely to this patriotic occupa-
ton; but the presence of the chief
executive, whenever possible on such
occasions, certainly serves to
strengthen the relations between
Vermonters in Vermont and YER
monters who for reasons best known
to themselves have sought new bust
ness opportunities and new homes in
other states. We who yet remain
send cordial greeting to all these
who, having left the state, yet love
it, and think of it, and celebrate it
annually.

A Commission That Failed.

In the senate the other day Mr..
Wolcott told the story of the bime-
tallic commissions work in Europe,
and had several interesting things to
say about the efforts made by that
commission and it's failure to accom-
plish what it was sent out to do.
The senator paid tribute to the good
faith of the administration in connec
ton with the attempt to secure BIZ
metallism, the commission being
entirely untrammeled by any lack of
authority or sanction Of administra-
tive support. 1t was fully realized
from the beginning, he said, that
bimetalism for England was out of
the question on account of the condi-
ton in India. Although this was
the case, however, the British states
men gave the proposition of the
Americans a respectful hearing and
were courteous at every turn of
affairs. Senator Wolcott could not
say as much for the British news.
papers, but gives them credit for
''intemperate, hostile and some what
brutal utterances" on this subject;
he twits the London press of being
dominated by and rejecting the
views and expressions of the banking
element, and consequently not at all
favorable to the idea upon which the
commission operated.
Senator Wolcott rehearsed some of
the obstacles to bimetallism as the
commission had found them-namelv.

silver and the coincident tariff legis-
lation, the messages which New York
bankers had sent across to England

How to Make q Fortune.

The following are extracts from let
ter written by Henry Ward Beecher to
his son:
"You must not go into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil. Make it
fundamental rule: No debt-cash or
nothing"
MAKE few promises. Relieiously OBJ
serve the smallest. A man who means
to keep his promises can't afford to make
many"
"Be scrupulously careful in all state
ments. Accuracy and perfect frankness,
no guesswork. Either nothing or accu-
rate truth"
MAKE yourself necessary to those who
EMPLOY you by industry, fidelity and
scrupulous integrity. Sel6shness is
fatal"
Hold yourself responsible for higher
standard than anybody else expects of
you. Demand more OF yourself than
anybody expects of you. Keepyour own
standard high. Never excuse yourself to
yourself. Never pity yourself. Bea hard
master to yourself, but lenient to every
body else"
"Concentrate your force on your own
business; do not turn off. Be constant,
steadfast, persevering."
"Do not speculate or gamble. Steady,
patient industry is both the surest and
the safest way. Greediness and haste
are two devils that destroy thousands
every year"
"The art of making ones fortune is to
spend nothing. In tits country any i'll
telligent young man may become rich if
he stops all leaks and is not in hurry.
Do not make haste; be patient"

The Best Way.

There is best way of doing every.
thing, of carving joint or sweeping a
room, or holding plough, or keeping
books. The educated man or woman is
the one who does the things he or she
has to do in the best way, without waste
of time or force. Many of these "best
ways" we have not wit enough to dis
cover for ourselves. There is an i'm
mense stock of experience handed down
to us through older people. To child
the father or mother represents the wis
dom and skill of the race. If they do not,
some one else does. At ony rate, we
enter into our heritage of the past in just
so far as we learn from some Ont how to
do the things we are called 10 do in the
best way. Few people realize that the
thing that will make them efficient and
skil'ul is just this matter of learning in

lady, lit is really pittance of a sal

Pertaining q Message.

The young lady with the sable cloak
rushed into the telegraph office and
raped sharply on the counter with the

see what she wanted this time.
"Oh," she said, "let me have that

handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy lines
beneath the words and said:

that. 1t will please Charlie much"

you would like will put 9 few drops OF
nice violet extract on the telegram at the

"Oh, thank you, sir. You don't know
how much would appreciate it. Pm

The recent decision by the United
States supreme court, to the effect
that a man who commits suicide
while in sound mind entirely destroys
the value OF whatever insurance he
may have been carrying, need not
surprise anybody who has given the
matter much thought. And we
see no reason why the decision is not
absolutely just. No insurance com
pany really arranges to afford a man
that sort Of protection with the
understanding that if he decides at
any time to close the contract by the
suicidal method the cash shall be
handed over, unquestioningly, to his
heirs. The court suggested that il
any company were foolish enough
to undertake to insure against
suicide, it would not be allowed, as
such course would be decidedly
against public policy.

Judge Gary's Wit.

A writer in the New York Sun tells the
following story Of Judge Gary ofChicago
who tried the Anarchists, and is now
trying Luetgert: A man charged with
bigamy was before him. The accused
had lived two years with the second wo-
man, and he concluded to plead guilty on
the understanding with the States
Attorney that his sentence would divorce
him from No. 2. When he stood before
Judge Gary the little man looked over
the desk and asked in voice ofkindness:
"You fully understand what the plea
OF guilty means ?"
Eyes, Your Honor"
"And do you understand if you so
plead it will be my duty to send you to
the penitentiary? Do'you understand
that?
Eyes, Your Honor. Anything to get
Free"
The Judge looked at the man for a
moment, and then said in his inimitable
manner:
Il suppose there are some things be-
side which prison would be relief. Any
relative or friend of the defendant in
court ?"
A woman in black stood up on bench
and said in voice which sounded like a
rip of cambria:
~ am his second wife, Judge"
Judge Gary replied Immediately, with
no change in his voice or face:
Some things beside which prison
would be relief. You ought to be will
ing to take three years."
The prisoner nodded an assent
Judge Gary looked over at the woman
in black. He seemed to read her in a
second. He turned to the man who had
pleaded guilty and said:
IL will give you one year. You seem
to have had the other two before they
arrested you"

1t is stated that in some sections
of the country small-sized but
rather hungry and energetic pirate
known as "miller's thumb" is max
ing havoc with the infant trout in
the streams. We cannot say just
how true this may be; but it is per-
fectly safe to wager, so far as YER
mont is concerned, at least, that no
group of "miller's thumbs" can do
more damage among the small trout
than is dore every season by the
hundreds OF fishermen all over the
state who, with an utter lack Of
provident forethought and reckless
disregard of constituted law, pull
out thousands of speckled beauties
under legal. size and too small to be
of any practical use to anybody after
they are caught.

Every little while the reading pub
lie is treated to paragraph concern
ing the Bridgewater gold diggings,
and more or less thrilling yarns are
spun in regard to the amount Of
yellow metal which that Vermont
locality is producing. Experience up
to date has shown pretty con-
clusively that, while our Green
Mountain state may be able to con-
tribute in some measure to the main
tenance of the gold standard, she
cannot be expected to yield so gen.
erous crop of the precious stuff as
to warrant the undertaking of ex-
tensive mining operations. There is
gold in the Vermont hills, and fields,
and meadows, and streams. No
doubt of it. But it is secured by a
more indirect process than mining
after the Klondike method.

The passage by the senate of bill
providing that immigrants to this
country shall be able to read and
write before being allowed entrance
to our ports and privileges, is a
gratifying indication that this nation
intends to look after the quality OF
its citizenship. The institutions of
this republic are much safer in the
custody of those who can read and
write, and think for themselves,
than in the hands of the illiterate.
The latter have no individual power,
generally speaking, and are easily
made the tools of the unprinclpled
politician. Senator Lodges bill
should have no trouble in going
through the whole legislative process
and becoming law.

of Improvement. The bill seeks to
encourage the use OF wagons with
capacity of fifteen hundred pounds
or over, and tire of four inches in
width, by allowing users thereof a
rebate of fifty per cent on their high
way tax. The movement in behalf
of better highways is lively topic
for discussion in many states, and
much good is resulting thereirom.
But in no other state in the Union
can highway improvement be pushed
more advantageously to all concern
ed than in our own ateof Vermont.

il the other nations with whom we
have dealings utterly refuse to be
parties to the arrangement. Birds
of feather may on certain occasions
flock together safely but, to quote
little from Lord Dundreary," it looks
alittle foolish for one bird to get off in
corner and try to flock all alone
by himself"

some way or other how to do things in
the best way. That is the difference be-
tween the raw "help' and the trained
servant, between the bungler and the
artisan, between the man or woman who
is always worried, furried and driven,
and the person who does twice as much,
and yet has plenty of leisure. We have
made great gain in the art Of living
when we set before ourselves the problem
of finding out the best way of doing COM
