States Senator Edmunds, died suddenly in
Philadelphia Thursday He was born in
Vermont in 1880, and while practising law
in New York city at the outbreak of the
civil war enlisted in a New York regiment.
He served through the war and later was

After retiring from active service he re-

Lieut.. Charles q. Lyman, U. 5. A. (retir
ed, and a daughter, the wife of Lieut..

Another large tract of timbered land in
Bennington county has recently been sold
to John j. Flynn of Burlington. The land
which is in the towns of Winhall and Peru,
includes over 5000 acres. Mr.. Flynn has
also acquired Al interest in the Peru turn
pike, which is one of the very few toll

The excelsior mill at Milton, owned by
II. c. Clark of East Orange, n. j., and OPP
Grated by f. E. Roger, was burned early
Sunday morning. A shed containing a
large quantity of lumber and clapboards
was also burned, and the grist mill and sew
eral harms were saved with difficulty. Mr.
Rogers had some insurance, but nis loss
will be heavy, as he owned the machinery
and lumber. About 20 men were employ
ed in the mill.
Mrs James Knapp was probably fatally
burned at Middlebury Friday. She was
dressing her young daughter, and sat with
her back to the stove when a spark flew
from the stove and set her clothing on
fire She rushed to the door and her
screams attracted VIM. Mills, by whom her
husband is employed He rolled Mrs
Knapp in the snow but did not succeed in
| putting out the fire until nearly all of the
| clothing was destroyed.
Work at the Elizabeth mines in Strafford
is being pushed and the output is being in
creased continually. The mining force has
nearly doubled in the past two months.
| From % TO 30 tons of metal "copper" mattel
is being produced at the smelter daily. A
change has been made in the way of oper-
ating the mines, all the mining now being
done by contract. Capt. George Dow and
| Frank Kendall have the contract to mine
the ore and deliver it at the breaker house.

kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles we're to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
Ifyou are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of Or. Kilmer's
Swamp-ROOt, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures Of the most distressing cases

A Humorous Coincidence.

Edgar Pemberton tells the following
amusing anecdote of a rather startling,
not to say brusque, coincidence that
once befell Mr.. w. S. Gilbert and Mr..
John Hare. the well known manager.
"Rehearsals," writes Mr.. Pemberton,
"are enough to irritate a saint. When
Mr.. Gilbert's Broken Hearts, in which
Mrs. Kendall played Lady Vavir, was
in course of preparation at the Court
theater, he and Mr.. Hare so differed as
to the way in which a certain scene
should be presented that to prevent al
outbreak each at the same moment and
without a word to one another resolved
to leave the stage. AS every one
knows, Sloane Square station Is close
to the Court theater. and in a few mo-
ments the indignant author and the
annoyed manager, bent on getting
away from each other, found them
selves face to face in an otherwise
empty railway compartment. The hui

Aheh VIII you please tell us how
you knew this was a firtation?"
"Why-why, they were waving their

y course not, but this was differ.

And what did you understand tho
motions of the fans to mean? Give ia
the filtration CODE"
DO you mean to insult me?" roared
hrother Harris as his face got very
req. Il don't know the code. ms vol,
call it, but l do know that they were
talking by signals-that is, Ange.

"Oh, 1t was your daughter Angelina
who Interpreted the signals to you. We
must have her here as a witness. 7

lied that he had put his foot In it.
And how dare you charge my daugh.
ter with flirting?"
But If she hasn't flirted how does
she know the code? You have made n
grave charge here, brother, and we look
to see you support it. You say you saw
part of the Irritation. What did the
widow convey to the pastor by her
signals? Take this fan and show us
how she used it,"
IL can't do it. II Angelina was"-
"Oh, 1t Angelina wal here she could"
said Elder Spooner as the other caught
himself. well, let us send for her, as
suggested before"
"Ill never do It'll"
But the charge, brother-the charge.
Here is a charge of Irritation against
Jul pastor. You made it, but you
haven't submitted one iota of proof
thus far. What are you going to do
about it,"
"Mebbe 1t wasn't exactly a flirta-
tion," s~ullenly admitted the brother
after awhile.
The Rev. Peters said he was using
the fan to drive away the files and
bring a breath of cool air as he read
over the sermon he was to preach on
the following Sunday. He had neither
noticed the widow nor Angelina nor
her father. The Widow Moreland had
insisted on being present. Yes, she
knew all about flirtations, but really
she hadn't the nerve to sit at an open
window under the eyes of her neigh
bors and attempt a Irritation with a
clergyman and the pastor Of the church
she used her fan languidly, 1t was to
drive away the droning house flies; if
briskly, it was to warn a darning nee
die or a beetle to keep a safe distance.
"\Nere l to flirt," added the widow
as she shook out her fan and smiled
coyly, 81 should do like this"
And she went through such a series
of motions and gestures as no elder OF
that church had ever seer before, and
some of them almost found themselves
trying to reply to the signals.
"Well, Brother Harris, what shall
we do?" asked Deacon Spooner as the
widow retired.
81 guess Angelina was mistaken"
was the hesitating reply.
"And youT
81 guess was too. Yes, I'm willing
to say | was and take it all back. l
hereby ask everybody to forgive me.
and I'll go home and box Angellna's
ears for q fool"

A GEY AULD WIFE.

A little old woman with soundless shoon
And a heart as hard as flint,
In the light Of the sun and the CLINT Of the moor
Her locks are as white as lint.
She mocketh youth, and she louteth love,
For n gey auld wife is she,
And the sands bentth and the stars above
Were new in her memory.
She t"ucheth the rose, and 1t falls apart;
The stone, and it crumbles away,
But never a tear to her eye shall start,
This spirit Of YESTERDAY.
For this little old woman the sphinx beheld
When the dawn OF the world was bright,
This little old woman who came from cid
Ere the Lord made day and night.
She creepeth about in her soundless shoon,
She singeth a dreary rhyme,
And the nationy browse to her eerie rune,
For the gey auld wife is Time.

THE WISHING SANDS.

~
The hummer was at August. :
The sea was in q lull ..
From Scituate to Gurnet,
From Mohammed to Hull,
It was a tranquil hour
OF earth's expectancy
When we lay on the wishing sands
Beside the sleeping sea.
We saw the scarlet moon rise
And light the pale gray land;
We heard the whisper Of the tide.
The signing Of the sand.
] felt the ardent futter
Your heart gave for delight;
You knew how earth is glad and hushed
Under the tent at night.
We dreamed the dream Of lovers
And told our dream to none,
And all that we desired came true,
Because We wished as one.
Bliss Carman in Ainslee's.
