ing his election, State Treasurer T. E.
Collins of Montana testified at Washington
yesterday that he had in his possession
$4,000 turned over TO the state by Sena-
tors Whiteside, Clark, Miers and McGarr.
He identified and described each Of the en-
velopes containing the money. He said
the money had been turned over to him by
the legislative investigating committee.
Mr.. Whiteside identified the various en-
velopes as having been given to him to
hold for himself and Messrs. Clark, Miers
and McGarr. State Senator Clark of Mon
tana testified that he had received $40, 900
in $1,000 bills from United States Senator
Clark's manager, Mr.. Welcome. 1t had
been given on condition that he was to
vote for Clark as long as his vote was
wanted. He had placed this money in an

The Young Peoples Guild will present a

have spared no pains to make it a success.
There will appear in the cantata about 80

Deadly Soothing.

The Burlington News having asserted
that Vermont used more morphine per
capita than any other state in the Union,
a physician writes to that paper to say
among other things:
"More deaths have been caused, directly
or indirectly, in this state by opiate pre-
parations, within the last 40 years than by
alcoholic drinks. The deaths, however,
have been of a different class of persons.
Comparatively few adults have died on &C
count of opiates, except those poisoned
outright, but infants in untold numbers,
whose mothers vainly supposed that they
could save themselves trouble by feeding
their young soothing syrup, or some other
narcotic whenever they were restless from
collie or teething, have persisted, not gen
orally from the direct poisoning, but from
later bowel affections commonly masked in
the death reports under the euphemism
cholera infantum, ETC."

born in Dummerston, June Is, 1906, and
was the child of Jonathan and Abiah Lar

MODERN COATS OF MAIL.
Curious Story OF the Way British Oficers
Protect Themselves.

curious story OF the way BRUSH Omcer
Protect Themselves.
To the uninitiated the days OF armor
have long since gone, but a visit to a
certain firm situated in the West End
of London will reveal the fact that
hundreds of vests of mail arc sold
annually to officers in the British
army. The maker is weil-known
gunsmith, and large portion of his
income is derived, not from manufac-
turing guns, but through the sale of
armor to officers. As general rule,
the mail is enclosed in leather casing,
which is sewn inside the tunic so as
to be invisible unless the garment is
picked to pieces. And the same with
helmets-a similar device is fixed as
lining so as to give additional protet-
tion in case of need. Some officers
are not above wearing mail vests I'M
derneath their TUNES and perfectly
obvious to their comrades, who,
although they may scoff in time of
peace, would be only too glad to don
one themselves when in the middle of
hostilities. The majority of the
makers customers are officers, be-
cause the suits are very expensive,
costing about ten guineas each. New
ertheless some ""Tommies" are pre-
pared to spend that amount in order
to insure themselves to a certain ex-
tent against the enemy's spent bull.
lets. Against modern bullet, fired
at short distance, of course, these suits
of armor are next to useless, although
they may be instrumental in turning
its course or stopping its penetrating
power.
During the Chino-Japanese war of
1895 the maker in question sent out
several hundred suits of armor, which
were eagerly bought up by the COM
batants at heavy price. During the
American war of last year he did the
same thing. 1t was not nearly SO
successful, for he found he had been,
forestalled by Yankee firms, and
such officers in the American army as
had intended going in for suit of
mail had already obtained them. He
then offered his goods to the Spani-
ards, who proved to be good GUS
toners and were. prepared to pay a
good price for the luxury. A notable
instance of the value Of mail occurred
during the battle of Omdurman. One
officer, who is well known, got into
the thick of the fight and was slashed
on al sides by the Dervishes. His
men were surprised TO see that he had
escaped all the force of the blows, e1-
peeting to see him fall from his horse
every minute mass of wounds. After
the battle was over, however, he APP
peared perfectly unscathed save for a
few slight wounds on the chest. Then
be revealed the suit of mail which
covered him and to which he owed
his life.

american or Mex?" he eagerly in
quired.
"Chow- chow" is a word which the
Chinaman took to the Philippines
with his pigeon English. 1T means
''to eat, eating or ''food." The
soldier has emphatically adopted the
word, though he has shortened it to
q single "chow."
''Rough house" .gnifes "trouble"
or eight" To say of one that he is
making or having, or has made or had
"a rough house. means that he got
angry, with the general smashing of
everything accessible.
There is little story which illus
trates the meaning of one phrase that
is considerably in vogue. A soldier
was pacing his beat in front of the en-
trance to the palace one day, when he
espied general in the act of alight-
ing from his carriage. The regula-
tons prescribe that under such inter-
esting circumstances the sentry shall
call out to the corporal of the guard:
"Turn out the guard General
officeri"
But the sentry. in his excitement,
forgot the conventional language, and
the approaching general WAS amazed
to hear the young soldier blurt:
''Turn out de whole push De main
guys comet"
So it has come to pass that "turn-
ing out the push refers to prepare
tions for receiving distinguished or
very welcome guest.

plantations, trust that you will be
able to converse with, and understand,
