DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT.
Miss Harriet Ames, Member of a Fa
nous Massachusetts Family.

Miss Harriet Allen Ames died Saturday
morning at O'Clock at 81 Grant street.
She was 80 years old and the cause of
death was old age. She had been failing
for about two weeks and the end came
quietly. Miss Ames was born in Bridge
water. March 10, 1910 and from there she
moved to Easton. where her father, John
Ames, established the immense Ames
Knife Mandatory and her uncle had an
enterprise of almost as great magni-
tude in the shovel business At the age
of 20 years she moved to this city, where
She has since lived. TWO sisters who had
long resided here, died some years ago
Mrs Stetson and Mrs. Caroline A. Mills,
the latter the wife of a well-known edi-
tor and printer who was at one time also
postmaster of Burlington.
Upon her arrival in Burlington Miss
Ames became a member of St. Pauls par
sh. Her name appears as first on the rec
ord of the parish members 70 years ago
when Bishop Hopkins was bishop of the
diocese. She was the oldest communicate
of the church. In all these years she has
been both by her example and her works
of valuable service to the par
ish. Miss Ames' life was unob-
trusive and outwardly uneventful.
Hers was a gentle, patient, sincere,
unselfish character. She was a faithful
friend; a lover of good books; of broad
and catholic sympathics. owning kinship
with all who called Jesus Master. No one
ever questioned the reality of her faith; no
one ever saw much of her without rcCog
nizing the value Of hoLest Christian lv-
ing. Her latter days Were a burden by
reason of increasing inhrmities, but she
has now exchanged the loneliness of her
lot and the WEAKNESS of waiting for the
society of the friends who had gone before
and that rest which remaneth unto God $
people.
When Miss Ames began to fail her niece
Miss G. II. Gilbert of Ithaca, N, Y, was
sent for and was here at the time Of her
death. Miss Ames was the last OF eight
children and her death takes away the
last of that branch of tho family. Miss
Ames came from n famous Massachusetts,
family, among whom were Governor Ames
and the famous Cakes Ames.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon
at 4 30

SMALL POX SCARE
Well Developed Case of the Dread
Disease in the Village
of Hardwick.
100 PEOPLE EXPOSED.
Came Directly Home-Gave no
Warning of His Village
is Panic Stricken-Residents
Escaping on Every Train.

fiardwick, May 2S-This town is suffer-
ing from a genuine smallpox scare and peo-
pie are leaving town on every train. A. b.
Thomas, secretary and treasurer of the
Vermont ana Arizona Copper Mining CO.,
has just returned from Arizona whore he
had been on business. While there he
stopped at boarding house whore there
were several cases of smallpox. He start
ed for home and was taken sick while en-
route. He did not give any notice of his
disease and went about among the people
until about lCo people were exposed.
The greatest Indignation is felt toward
Mr.. Thomas. While coming home the con-
ductor charged him with having smallpox
but MIR Thomas denied this and thus es-
capped being put off the train. After
reaching homo he oven went into a bar
Der shop and was shaved.
At lastlJr Darling was called and he at
once pronounced it a case of smallpox and
ordered strict quarantine to be enforced,
and Mir Thomas is now suffering with a
we'll developed case of smallpox.
The greatest excitement prevails and a
large number OF residents have left town
ana hundreds more would do 50 but the
authorities have refused 10 let people on
the trains.
A meeting Of the state Board of Health
is called for this evening.
The authorities are preparing to VacCin-
ate ever ybody. All the grades of the pub
lie school have been closed. except the
high school AS further rrecaution it is
probable that the public exercises of the
school will be omitted

The Drum and the Statesman.

This is n story which Representative
Eddy of Minnesota tells on himself: "In
making the campaign in my district one
year" said Mr.. Eddy, Il took along as
an attraction veteran of the war of
1912 and of the civil war, who was a
famous hand at beating the drum. He
was q drummer from away back and
could arouse n whole township. Drum
music is an incendiary kind of thing any
how, and the old captains drumming
was particularly stirring.
"Wel. one night, after the captain's
drum had given the usual overture,
commenced my speech to the populacc
which had been urcd to the scene by hi,
drum. | noticed Mt the foot of the RIOS,
trum, the same being a big dry goods
box, bright eyed little fellow about T.
years old, who sat through the speech
following me with great attention. II
pleased me very much. Any fool can in
tcrest an audience of adults, but it takes
n genius to hold a child.
$50 after the speaking | went down
and spoke to the little fellow and after
shaking hands with him asked him how
he liked my speech.

TROUT FISHING RECORD BROKEN
S. l.. Griffith and Party Catch ll2 Pounds
of Speckled Beauties in One Day.

State Senator S. l.. Griffith passed
through the city Saturday on the way to
DANNY and some Of his friends were first
appraised OF the fact he had been here Ly
finding nice meal of trout at their door.
Mr.. Griffith in company with j. G. Moore,

receiver for the Merchants National Bank
at Rutland, Gen. W. y w Ripley of Rut-
land and Col. f. T.. Smith, president of

O'Clock Thursday afternoon. They went
out and caught Is pounds of trout for sup
per. Friday morning Mr.. Griffith got up
for an hours fishing before breakfast and
brought in Is pounds of trout, all caught
fishing from the dam. After breakfast
Mr. Griffith had business to attend TO but
his guests went fishing and when they
came to weigh their trout they found III
pounds had been caught that day making
the total catch for the trip 197 pounds
This breaks the record for one days fish

has never been Il larger amount of trout
taken from one body of water with a hook
in one day during the recent history of the

EXPENSIVE CRUTCHES.
One Pair Trimmed with Gems In
New York That Cost $3.50.

"If there is anything that can compen-
safe a person for the loss or deformity of
one or both limbs. it is the exuberance Of
fancy in which he may indulge in the
ornamentaton of his crutches," said a
dealer in these aids of the halt. That
is" he added. provided he has the mon
ey to crafty his tastes
according to that" said the inquirer,
"crutches must be an expensive neces
sity."
Not at ALL" returned the dealer. $50
long as you confne yourself to the bare,
plain crutch. The light colorcd, every
day article which you generally see on
the street is very cheap affair. 1t is
made of maple and costs only $3.50 to 81
q pair, with 30 cents extra for the rub
Der caps at the end. Why, you can get
a first class crutch made of the finest
rosewood for 50 or $40 a pair. Such a
crutch as that is as good as any reason
able person ought to want, for it is
neatly finished in nickel and provided
with splendidy padded spring cushions
and will last lifetime. 1t is not in the
crutch itself that the expense lies. 1t
is in the trimmings. You see, crutch
is like everything else. It's cost depends
not so much upon the solid material COM
pOSlup IL us upon me uAIuES.
"You wouldn't believe how fond some
people who have been crippled for years
are of crutch The senselcss wooden
sticks become to their minds n part Of
their being. 1t is never failing friend.
You and | sometimes think we bestow
exceeding care upon the fit of a coat or n
dress or the shape of hat, but that at
tention is slight compared with the
thoripht cripplo piynS IN his crutch
II clipped an article from foreign
magazine a little while ago in which a
wealthy Englishman was ridiculed and
blamed for spending 5000 on a crutch.
But | don't see why they made such n
fuss about it. Why. that's no price at
all. | know men right here in New York
who have paid five times that amount.
The trimmings of these expensive crutch.
es are of gold and the best of them are
set here and there with small but val
liable stones. The most expensive
crutches | ever saw were made for an
old woman over on the east side. The
cost of the pair was 81 go. She had
her monogram, j. G. S. outlined in gems
on each crutch. To get these decorations
finished off in good taste required in
finite skill and patience and declined to
undertake the job at first but when | re-
Elected that her initinls were the same
as my trade mark and that the work
would serve as n good advertisement for
me | accepted the commission.
"Oh, yes, when you come to think OF
1t, I suppose it is absurd to put SO much
money into something that is apt to get
lost or stolen or broken at any time, but
then you might say the same thing about
gold or silver mounted harness, jcwecd
fans and parasols and, in fact, all Other
expensive fads. There's about as much
sense in the one as the other in my opin
| ion."-New York Sun.
