what's that you said?"
There was nothing to do but to face
the issue, and the Postmaster repeated
with forced calmness:
"Killed-Suyder, Hiram"
The boys father stood up with
jerk. Then he sat down. Then he
stood up again, staggered to the door
aud fumbled for the latch like a blind
man.
"God help him." said the Postmaster
wiping his eyes with his red handker-
chief; she's gone to tell the old

The minister preached a funeral SER
mon for the boy, and on the little pyra-
mid that marked the family lot in the
burying ground they carved the inscrip-
ton:
KILLED in honorable battle, Hiram
Snyder, aged nineteen"
Not long afterward strange yellow
bearded men, in faded blue, began to
arrive. Great welcomes were given
them, and many big gathering was
held in their honor. At one such gath

AN ALLEGORY.
How Alcohol Once Admitted VIII Finally

certain young king built number
of very beautiful and costly temples

them smaller than the others, were
called ChildSoulS. He loved to dwell
in these temples, and always did so
when they were kept pure and tit for
his presence. But there were enemies
who sought to detile and destroy his
beautiful temples. the boys and girls,
and men and women.
one of these enemies, named Alcohol,
was Il fierce, fiery imp, who was de

Meanwhile the enemy, Alcohol, was

Interesting Figures.

Through the courtesy OF Sheriff Bancroft,
who is also one OF the city listers, the Jour.
NAL is enabled TO give the following statis-
tics, which show healthy AMI steady
growth in the population and property valu-
alton of the city Of Montpelier since 1890
In 1890 the grand list was 49,, 944 81. The
number OF taxable p Ills, and those exempt
by law was l, 100; the population was 4,l60,
or one poll to every 1861 OF the population.
In 1896, When the special census was
taken by Sheriff Bancroft the population
was 5,107; taxable polls and those exempt
bv statue, 1,460, showing u population OF
$50 to everv poll. The grand list that year
was S37 532 10
In 1899, taking that census for basis the
popul alton is 6,737; number Of polls, tax
able and exempt, 1926, or population OF
3 90 to every poll: The grand list is S47'-
In the last four years Montpelier has
gained over 900 taxrayers.
The city OF Barre claims this year a gain
in real estate of 1884 83l over 1898, but the
real cause of such a large increase is not
exp aimed in the newspapers OF that city
b dened with tremendous debt, that
city had reached its tax limit allowed by
law and was still running behind. Its only
way TO increase its revenue by taxation was
by increasing the valuation Of real ests to,
and this was done to an extent of half q
million of dollars at the last quadrennial
appraisal, which takes effect this year
Montpelier increased the valuation of her
real estate less than 100000 a. the same
quadrennial appraisal and this represented
an actual, not fictitious, increase in vslua
ton during the past four years. This in
crease OF 100000 and the annexation o.
Berlin side, will more than Offset the forced
increase claimed by the Granite City.
Throughout the United States the ratio Of
voters to the total population is one voter tt
every sos. In Vermont it is 90--an add
tional proof that Montpelier is making nj
inflated returns.

A New Invention.

Joseph e. A mon has completed his in
vention which will be called the Capital
Moulding Sander" Mr.. Almon, who is a
practical machinisi, conceived the idea that
the process of finishing moulding by hand
at the average rate of 200 linear feet per
day was both tedious and expensive, and his
recent invention il the result. The ma
chine is ipable of ii iishing moulding by
running once through at the rate of thirty
five feet per minute.
Mr.. Almon came to this city last August
and at once began perimenting upon his
pany's shops. His original idea was TO
pass the moulding under revolving brushes
into which sand was continually blown, but
after a few tests he discarded this plan as
impracticable. In the meantime he chung
to the brush theory aud the finished ma
chine now comprises running table with
automatic feed upon which moulding from
six inches in width down can be fed as
through planning machine.
Above the moulding revolves series Of
three brush wheels, eighteen inches in di-
ameter, each made up of five phazes.
These phszes contain lunches OF sand-cloth
which are confined in adjustable boxes, the
protruding ends having been slit by novel
machine, designed by Mr.. Almon for the
purpose. When in position series Of
fifteen pliable brushes are revolved at any
speed desired by the operator. The sand
the sand-paper in general use in that sand
is rolled into both sides Of the cloth when
green at a pressure OF LOO pounds and is
more flexible and durable. These brushes
will run daily for two weeks before new
cloth is required
Mr.. Amon in demonstrating to the writer
the clean cut work done by his machine
applied the pencil test. A piece of mould
ing was marked In several places with
soft lead pencil and then run through the
machine when the marks had disappeared.
To do this by hand required several min
utes. This machine, which has long been
in demand and which is by the way the
first from which practical results could be
obtained, delivers hard and soft wood
moulding alike with smooth finish aud
without destroying the sharp edges OF the
pattern. Mr.. Almon has protected his
moulding sander by patents in England,
Canada, Germany and this country. The
machines will for time be built at the
Lane Manufacturing Company's shops. The
selling price will be $3.50. Mr.. Almon's
deserved success is predicted by the fact
that he has already orders for eleven OF his
machines.
