Capt. II. G. Lull of Montpelier has an
interesting collection of relics which he
keeps in corner of the liquor agency.
Behind the door is an old fashioned cal
endar clock that reaches from floor to

of Engineer B. f. Merrill. 1t was built
in 1913, and ran without stopping %
years. Then it was cleaned and set GO

without occasion, would not be in favor
in lawless localities and might be con-
sidered coward there; but for the
exhibition of true courage, such as is
most essential in sustaining order in
society, that exhibited by Deputy Iloff-
man, Sheriff Chapman and his deputies
and by others cannot be too highly APP
prcciated by the citizens of the state.
TO meet an open defiance of law with
such courage and efficiency adds more to
the stability of social order than any
other one thing could. To meet such an
emergency as this requires the highest
order of patriotism and courage. Many
men who can face an enemy amid the
noise, excitement and the many other
mental supports which accompany the
soldier. would hardly 90 DELHI srate and
cool up to the ambush of an outlaw,
knowing and having time to reflect on
the great probability of being pierced
by bullet. 1t is just such latent and
sublime courage sumbering in the
breasts of New Englanders until oc-
casion awakens it that secures such
profound peace and respect for law as
prevails within all our borders.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of demon within man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciatic
or il ilammatory rheumatism will agree
that the infliction is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief. 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm
would east out demons. but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi
mony to the truth of this statement.
One application relieves the pain, and
this quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times it cost. For sale by

The Boston Daily Globe says that "the
story of the Shaws, fighters, fugitives
and prisoners, reads more like a wild
west romance than true tale of the
New England hills of Vermont" This
is all quite true, but there is happily this
difference; the "wild west romance" i'm
plies feuds, passions, quarrels, in
dependent of law, or perhaps more ac-
curetely speaking, exercised in the
absence of law. The capture of the
Shaws is an exhibition of one of the
grandest characteristics of the New
Englanders. A New Highlander in the

in quarrel, rough rowdyism ana to ex-
pose himself to collision and danger

A recent issue of the Burlington
News contained an account of what
Joseph Battell of Middlebury is doing in
the way of making Potato Hill a favorite
resort for tourists and mountain climbers.
This is one of the highest peaks in Yer
mont. perhaps the highest but one, and
from its summit is obtained view eX-
tending TO the AdirOndacks on the west.
the Connecticut valley and White Noun
tains on the east and with "A field glass
can be seen some of the highest peaks In
New Hampshire and large part of Lake
Champlain. The view is magnificent,
probably not eXceled in the state. Mr..
Battell has erected a lodge, called "Bat-
tell Lodge about 100 rods from the sum-
nit. sort of half way house so con-
structed that small parties can stop there
over night. There Is also good road
from the foot of the mountain to the
summit. Prof. Thomas f. Boyce of Mid
dleburv has been making additional sur.
veys during the past winter and it is now
planned to cut path from Potato Hill TO
North Peak, a mile north, and build a
lodge there. This will enable tourists to
enjoy a good mountain ramble at an alti-
tude of about 1000 feet. Several miles TO
the north, in DuXbury. is Cancels Hump,
also owned by Mr.. Battell who may be
planning to connect the two peaks by a
mountain road. lie is the owner of
Bread Loaf Inn, Hipton, II miles from
here, and the lodges in this town are at
present being conducted in connection
with that house. Last fall the Appala-
chan Club of Boston visited Lincoln
mountains, remaining over night at the
lodge, and were much pleased with the
location and scenery. Other large par
ties are planning to visit the lodge this
season. The work Mr.. Battell Is doing
on these mountains will be to Lincoln's
advantage, giving it a reputation as a
good place in which to spend summer
vacation, providing an abundance of good
air, good water, magnificent scenery and
all those things which the city resident so
longs for in summer.-Lincoln Cor. Bris-

Mouisville News and Citizen.
When the Grout oleomargarne bill was
under discussion in the house two weeks
ago resolution was adopted, it will be
remembered. calling on Secretary Gage
for the Information in the possession of
his department as to the constituents of
oleomargarine. According to the data
supplied by the secretary there is very
little butter. milk or cream in the product.
OF the oleOmargarine manufactured in
December last, about 81 per cent was lard,
nearly 20 per cent was oleO oil, 81 per
cent was cotton seed oil, 6 , per cent was
butter oil, SO per cent was salt, and
there were fractions of | per cent of
glycerine, stearinc. sesame, sugar and
glucose. The butter was nne-tenths of
one per cent, or less than one-hundredth
of the whole. The milk in it, however.
figured out JIG 13 per cent and cream o.
per cent. The "butter on sounds we'll,
but it turns out to be a variety of cotton
seed oil. OF the $4,000 600 pounds of
oleomargarine sold in 1899, some Il ,000.-
600 pounds was fat not derived from
milk. and of this fat 81 POI, Psi pounds
was lard.
The makers of OleOmargarine claim
that it is the "butter of the masses" and
that it is a wholesome article of food.
Granted. But the essential fact is that
the masses" have a right to know what
they are eating, and that nobody has "A
right TO make or sell an imitation of but
