Those gallant knights, the quill
drivers OF this city, will take an an
nual meal Monday evening in honor of
Christmas Day and to satisfy long
standing demand on the part of their
stomachs This episode would to most
people be the merest of life's incidents,
but to these young men the affair takes
on the dignity of an event with a cap
ital e. The supper will be at Wes
Smiths, over at the Union Depot, and
it will be as fine as split frog hair
The potato ball will be but the symp-
tom of a memory, and the baked bean
erything on the bill OF fare will be
French, but it will be eaten without
language Silence, except that caused
by the swash of water in the mouth,
will be profound, but in lieu of that
will be action intense.
Prior to enjoying this rush on Yves
Smiths goodie counter these youngmen
who carry in their faces the expression
of the intelligence within (also a good
ly complement of brass) and whose
coat collars bear the mark of true lit
erary dandruff, these young men, we
say, will go to the play at the Audi
tcrium on Louie Luchs, and witness
the play, Fritz in a Madhouse." Here
they will dispOrt themselves in what
jewelry they can borrow--and possibly
wear real cuffs. They will show an
eagerly observant audience with what
consummate grace they can dispose of
their too large hands, and appear as if
an opera house box had been the
scene of their birth and raising Their
celluloid collars will give forth such a
CLINT as will dazzle the eyes of their
admiring beholders in the cheap and
vulgar dress circle and parquet. These
young truth be id tellers will, we
think, give the large part of the show,
and Mr. Emmett and Miss ellison had
better look well to their parts to get
the eyes OF the audience upon them
even once in a while.
We had well-nigh forgotten to say
that the reporters will enjoy the lux

Mr.. White is one of the stalwart Re

party. Besides filling the Office of
collector of internal revenue for the
second time, he has for a number of
years acted as secretary of the Repub-

the success of the party in this State
has been largely due to his untlring

A TRAGIC HISTORY.

Death of the Last Member of Ex-senator
Uphams Family.
The death of Miss Upham, in the
Windsor sacrifice. of which there is now
little room for doubt, marks the practical
extinction of one of the earlier and most
notable families of Montpelier, says the
Record
William Upham was born in Leicester,
Mass, Aug. >, 1892. His father set
tied on farm in Montpelier in 1902.
William was unfortunate In his boyhood,
as misfortune is sometimes counted, re-
ceiving so severe an accident to his right
hand that amputatiOn was rendered nee
essary. His capacity for manual labor
being thus crippled he was given the
benefit of the then existing means for
obtaining "liberal education,' studied
law in the office of Judge Prentlss, one of
the beacon lights of the tOwn's-and the
state's-early history, and was admitted
to the bar in 1911. He was chosen to the
senate in 1912 to succeed Senator Crafts.
He was elected to a second term, but
died before its expiration, in Washing
ton, Jan. Il, 1888.
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Upham. William
X, who chose his fathers profession,
moved to Ohio and became the peer of
the Buckeye states leading attorneys ;
Charles c., a paymaster in the United
States navy; Sarah Sumner. the wife of
/ George Langdon, and Annette, the vie
tim of tine Windsor.
All are now gone, though there are
survivors of the second and third genera
tions, descending from William Upham,
the only child having children. Among
these is Charles Upham of Ohio, himself
lawyer, who has been an occasional
visitor to Montpelier.
In recalling the events of the past, sur
viving members of the old guard of resi-
dents recall the circumstance, in connec-
ton with the tragic fate of Miss Upham
that death has often come to members OF
this family by some unaccustomed
cause. Senator Upham died in Washing
ton of smallpox, secluded from all who
were near and dear to him. Mrs. Lang
don, temporarily at the United States
hotel in Boston in May, 1883, was seizeC
with apopleXy during the night, alone il
her room, and in the morning, when dis
covered, was unconscious, her room
bearing evidence of her efforts to sum
mon assistance. Charles G. died il

Trout at Wholesale.

vate trout natcnery at Mount razor is
the largest affair of the kind in New
England, has made arrangements to ship
large quantities of trout to the cities
during the coming season. He has
already received a letter asking him to
furnish the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York 20 pounds day, but cannot ship
until the lastl of March, as the law in
New York forbids the traffic in trout
during February and March. The trout
are to weigh from one-third to half
pound each. He has recently sold to G.
w. Barnum, at Lime Rock, Conn, 400
trout that must weigh two pounds each.
Upon arrival they are to be placed in
brooks. He is now getting them ready
to send, aud the expense of getting them
there will be $50. He has also sold
$4,000 fry this spring. According to
law passed at the recent legislature he
can dispose of fish from his hatchery at
any time. There are now in the hatchery
| 100000 of trout eggs in the various
stages of Matching, also $4,000 yearling
trout and 10000 breeders. He expects
to send about one ton of dressed trout
to the markets this year. When large
enough for shipment they are taken
from the water and killed by a rap on
the back of the head. They are then
placed in boxes, back down, covered
with ice and shipped by express. 1t will
be impossible for the hatchery to turn
out ITS full capacity in less than couple
of years, but as soon as it can, he ex-
poets to ship away four or five tons
every year. All the trout that are pro-
duced at the hatchery are raised from
eggs taken from trout grown'there. Mr..
Griffith estimates that 6,000,000 eggs can
be handled there. The Bennington and

The value of corn fodder is much
greater when it is cut during warm, dry
weather, when it will cure rapidly,
than when it is put in shock later and
the rains and cold make it dry out more
slowly. So long as it is most some
waste is going on in the nutritive value
of the shock. When the drying is has
tened the waste is small. The corn
stalk, after repeated freezing and thaw-
ing, is of little value for feeding. The
waste of nutrition in the silo is trivial
when compared to that during the pro-
cess of slow drying.

II our own house is warm we use less
fuel. lis easy to understand, therefore,
just how good shelter enters into the
question of economy. The fat on our
animals in the winter is their bin of
fuel, to which they must resort if we
do not supply sufficient food to keep up
heat; the heat must be kept up or the
animals will died. This is the first use
nature makes of food given sometimes
to the extent of 60 or so per cent. of it.
