A Panic.

IA ohtNs
During the band concert last Friday
evening, one OF the court officials sat at
his desk in the Court House conversing
with two ladies who had come in to rest
few moments.
Suddenly, without the slightest warn
ing, the Office door burst open, and in
the twinkling of an eye the office was
full of men. women and children, breath
less and with terror stricken faces.
Many of them didn't know what the
trouble was; they only knew that some
terrible danger threatened them and
that they had been compelled to run for
their lives.
Cries of where is he?" and 30 what
terrible creature" and finally "mad
dog" revealed the cause of alarm.
Those who had breath enough to talk,
explained that there was mad dog in
the crowd outside, and that he made the
most unearthly, blood-curdling noise
they had ever heard.
Further investigation showed that the
vestibule and stairway leading to the
court room was packed full of people,
strong men trembling with fear as we'll
as the women and children. The crowd
had forced itself around the soldiers
monument and several had contrived to
get up to the feet OF the statue OF Lib
erty, whose protection they doubtless
implored. The band stand had also been
taken by storm.
But where was the dog? The search
for mangled victims was without success.
And then the truth was known. Some
one was leading COW from the south
end of Main street to Eastern avenue.
At the corner she took exceptions to the
combination of people, band, popcorn
stand, and stereopticon in very mascu-
line roar for an ordinary COW to utter,
and gave lunge at the stereopticon,
continuing to emit demoniacal noises
easily capable Of misinterpretation, il
their source was not known. She was
not beyond the control of the man lead
ing her and soon passed down the
avenue toward Railroad street.
When the cow started for the stereop'
ticon, the people around it rushed back.
Only these near there understood the
cause of the commotion, and when some
one who had heard the COW but hadn't
seen her, suggested a mad dog, the cry
mad dog! mad dog!" was taken ur
and the livliest sort of panic ensued.
In the language of Puck: What fools

societies of the parish. The sermon was
preached by Rev. c. B. Boissonnaut, a
nephew OF the st. Johnsbury priest, and

necessary to carry into effect the IN
tention of the testator, and there is
other sufficient estate"
Counsel for the residuary legatee con-
tends that the last quoted section
makes different provision for appro-
pr:ating the property of the estate for
the payment of the expenses of admin
istration and family allowance from
that which is provided for the payment
of the debts of the estate by the provi-
sions of Section 1859 of the Civil Code.
In this contention, however, must dis
agree with counsel. I am of the opin-
ion that the section last quoted is in
tended by the law making power to hold
general legacies of real and personal
property equally liable for the payment
of the debts, expenses of administra-
ton, and family allowance, and to ex-
empt specific legacies from such liabil-
to change the rule provided by Section
1859 of the Civil Code.
In other words, 1 think that the word
debts" as employed in 1859 C. c., is
generic and means any charge, claim or
demand of whatsoever character
against the estate. This conclusion IS
|
other sections of the code where the
word debts is employed. In Section
1886, c. c. p, the word debts is used
irterchangeably to mean the claims or
demands which have been regularly al
lowed by the executor and the court,
and also to mean any charge or demand
against the estate. In Section 1913 the
word debts is employed to mean a,y
Section 1861 of the same code. it is en-
ployed again in its generic sense; and
it is used in the same manner in Sec
ton 1897, c. c. p.
Many other sections might be cited
where the word debts is employed to
mean any charge or claim against the
estate, and | believe that this is the
sense in which it is used in Section
1899 of the Civil Code, wherein is pro-
v1ded for the order in which the props
e~ty of the estate shall be resorted to
for the payment of debts Moreover. IT
does not seem reasona bic that the Leg
1slature intended to provide that the
property of the estate should be res ,rt-
ed to in one order for the payment of
one of its debts, and in another order
for another of its debts.
1t is more reasonable to believe that
1t was the intention of the law making
power to provide a uniform mode of
resorting to the property of the estate
Ter the payment of all of its debts
without regard to the character of any
particular debt, or the manner in which
the same was contracted.
For these reasons, am of the opinion
that the property of the estate must be
| resorted to for the payment of the fam
| lily allowance in the same manner as
for the payment of any other debt of
| the estate.
Let a decree of distribution be pre-
pared in accordance with the views
| herein expressed

Thousands fail of this because they have
neglected to look after their health in
womanly way. The health of wonan's
babies is dependent upon her own health
during the period of prospective maternity.
The prospective mother cannot be too par
ticular about her physical condition. If
she suffers from local weakness, nervous
ness or loss of vigor and virility, her chill
dren will be weak, puny and sickly. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription IS the only
unfailing cure for all weakness and disease
of the delicate and important organs that
bear the brunt of maternity. 1t makes these
organs strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and
elastic. 1t makes the prospective mother
strong and cheerful. 1t robs maternity of
its perils. 1t insures a baby constitution
ally strong. 1t is the invention of an emf
nent and skillful specialist, who has had
thirty years training in this particular
branch, during which time he and his staff
of physicians have prescribed for many
thousands of women. Medicines dealers
sell it and an honest dealer will not urge
upon you an inferior substitute merely for
the little added profit he may make thereon.
