Why did THEY DO IT?

You know-everybody knows-that
the Central Vermont Railroad Com
pany is a most critical purchaser.
When in the market for merchandise
they ask for samples and before plac-
ing the order, submit the samples to a
rigid examination by the most compe-
tent experts in their employ; they are
not looking for the cheapest articles
but the best.
In 1895 the G. V. r.. r. Co. had oc.
casion to purchase roofing for many
of their buildings, including the en-
CINE house at New London, Conn, and
Passenger Station at Burlington.
Every manufacturer in the country
was anxious for the order. The sam
pies were submitted, the experts ex-
amined them. The contract was
awarded Strong Hardware Co., and
Strong's Fire-proofRoofing was used.
Gentle reader, are you in need of roof

Took Five Routes UO Dea tn.

The attempt of Joseph Brlckner, the New York travelling man, to commit suicide at the Palmer House Wednesday recalls the suicide of Chicago "drum- msr" in the same room in 1872.
 The man, whose name is now forgotten by the hotel attaches, left note Saying he intended to Xii Il himselfin in such nov. ell way as never to be forgotten he fully succeeded.
 He stood on the edge of the bathtnb with rope about his neck. The bath tub was filled to the brim with water.
 The suicide saturated his cloths with kerosene. He attached to his breast a string the other md of which was con- nected with the trigger of revolver the weapon being pointed directly at the travelling mans heart. It was fixed in such way that as soon as the string was brokeen the weapon would go of. fuse was attached to the cuicide' s clothing. All was ready, add he took a dose of morphine.
 He then lited the fuse. The fuse burn ing up to the oil-soaked clothing set fire to them. The string attached to the re- volver was thus burned and the weapon went off the bullet piercing the already unconscious mans breast. In dying the man lurched forward and the rope frightened about his neck in approved hangman's manner. The fire burned through the noose, and the body fell in- to the tub of water. By this time it is needless to relate the ingenious travel ing man was very much dead.-Ex.

\ Good Story on Bryan.

i "A good story on William Jennings , Bryan. the democratic president possi- bility, based on a happening in Stockton Cal, during tlIe last national campaign, is inst getting into circulation. During his swing around the circle in 1896,
 making his silver talks, he visited Stock ton, Cal. He was shown about the cIty by admiring political friends and among other places, they visited the state in- sane assylum there. Bryan was deeply interested in his observations in the mild insane ward, when his attention was attracted by the actions of one of the inmates, fine looking white haired man of gentlemanly demeanor, who was attracted by the actions of one ofthe in- mates, fine looking white haired man. of gentlemanly dem eanor who was pass ing the main hall and singing snatches from the Bohemian Girl and other oper- as. The singer all of sudden spied Mr. Byran and going to him with outstretch- hand, said:
 "'Well, they have you here at last, have they?'
 "'Yes, answered Mr. Bryan, they've got me here, and what are you here for?'
 "Oh! said the opera singer, I am here because I have 8 fad. My fade is music.'
 Bryan's sympathetic heart was touched and hoping to give little comfort he said: ''I am here on account Of fad of mine. My fad is the free and unlimited coinage of silver at ths rate of Is to l."
 The singer gave Mir. Bryan a scrutin- izing but pitying look and strode away without saying anything. Presently he returned and placing his hand on Bry- ans shoulder said "Keep your cour- age up. You'll get out. They cant keep you here" "
 "Why do you say SOP" asked Bryan
 After thinking for a moment the in sane patient replied: Because yon are not crazy, you are only damphoul."
 Convnlsions of laughter followed, in which Bryan joined after he had recov- cred in degree from his surprise. buquerque Citizen.
