To ParochiaI Schools.

Bishop John $. Michaud of the
diocese of Burlington, which in
cludcs the entire state of Vermont,
has issued an cdict to the effect that
parents sending their children of 10
years and younger to the public
schools. instead of the parochial
schools will be refused absolution.
In case Il parent believes he should
send his children to the public
schools he can visit the pastor of his
church and lay the case before him.
The pastors oithc Catholic churches
are invested with the authority to
decide the merits of the case. The
cdict Of course does not apply to the
smaller places in the State where
there are no parochial schools.
The cdict also states that Catholics
who are married by protestant min
listers will be communicated, and
those Catholics who are married or
attempt to be married by Justice OF
the peace or notary public will also
be refused dissolution.

WOODSTOCK FAIR.
Three Successful Days. A Fine Ex-
hibition, Good Racing and Large
Attendance.

The Woodstock fair winds up the
summer season, and this autumn
festival of the Windsor County Ag-
ricuIturAl Society exceeded the shows
OF former years in many ways.
There were three good days, and
tnat always means good iair and
large attendance. Tuesday and
Wednesday were cool-cvery one

crowd came and "viSitcd' like Il
grand family gathering.
The races were good and every
one was satisfied with the sport on
the track. All the departments We're

it all goes 10 the making of a good
exhibition.
"Wednesday was the big day, OF
course. and was almost record
breaker in point Of attendance.

President Roosevelt assumes his

avoid armed strife" a policy which
cannot very well be improved. 1t is

There was considerable local IN

John llusc'S Robert H., driven by
DR.. Corey, taking second money.
Charles, who registered from White
River Junction, led the way in the
three heats. His winnings were
protested, as it claimed he was in
eligible. Charles was also ruled out
of the $40 race.
Charles Taylor. the oldest of all
old-timers, up behind Robert B, won
the free-tor.all after four close heats,
the horses coming under the wire
well punched at every mile. With
the exception of the first heat, Rob-
ert b. never broke once, stepping
along steadily, while Kitty Wilkes,
who beat him at Springfield last
week. went off her teet repeatedly
and had to be satisfied with second
money. The "old man" got his
usual shout Of applause at every APP

CHESTNUT FARMS.

What can be done with the waste land which has been stripped of it's timber and is unsuited for agriculture? Left alone, it will soon be covered by a second growth of inferior timber. which is more than likely to be de stroyed by me. Mir. Coleman K. Sober of LewisburG, who is well known throughout the state as q member of the board of game commissioners, has demonstrated that there is a way to turn these forbidding waste lands to good account by growing chestnut trees upon them.
 The soil and climate of Pennsylvania is very favorable to the American chestnut. It grows everywhere, and is especially luXuriant and dominating as second growth timber. The sweet little native chestnut is much beloved by small boys, but it has not the comner- cial value of the larger European chest nut, which is an important food staple in Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Ger many. MT. Sober has planted his waste land with chestnut trees and grafted on them scions of a larger chestnut. which he calls Paragon, and what is probably an improved descendant of the Spanish chestnut.

General Shelley of Alabama, demo- crat and ex-confederate. says that the white men of the state who voted against the new constitution will put up nominees of their own for every office-'from governor to consta be. ' They will hold d state convention next year, he says. and hold it early. The Montgomery Advertiser sees in this merely new edition of the Jefferson democrary" schism of the Reuben Kolbites of 1892. It accuses General Shelley of wanting and scheming to build up a formidable, permanent white opposition to the democratic or ganization." It predicts that he and his associates will ultimately reorgan- ize and head the republican party of Alabama.

Hall, q young farmer near Montpelier. enjoyed himself hugely a few days back in watching a couple of city girls attempt to water their horse at the trough at his place. The horse was checked up, and of course could not get his nose down to the water. This seemed to surprise the young wo- men at first, but finally. realizing the trouble, they both got out Of the buggy and going behind lifted up the hind axle. and. after raising the hind wheels clear of the ground, peeped around the sides of the vehicle to see the horse drink. Finding that the horse didn't seem to know enough to stick his head down at the same time they raised the hind wheels. one girl remained behind to hold the buggy up and the other went to the horses head and tried to pull his nose down to the water. After laughing. Hall went to their assist ance and unchecked the horse.''

The establishment Of a women's uni versity club house in New York is an excellent illustration of the new activi- ties of the sex. One of its promoters describes its advantages as being First. that it gives meeting place for the alumnae associations of the city where no card of entertainment or re- freshment falls heavily upon some kind hearted hostess, as it inevitably did under the old regime: second. that it brings about a desirable community of feeling and interest among college women; third, that it makes q pleasant center for visiting alumnae and their friends: fourth, that it's cheeriness and homelikeness and social possibilities are inestimable benefits for the army of cellege girls who come to New York to study or work, without acquaintances or friends and with no home but some dreary boarding house.

The impossibility of monopolizing the vast industry of iron and steel in this country is again Illustrated in the movement for consolidating several strong concerns outside of the United States Steel corporation. The evident purpose is to strengthen competition by bringing together the various interests that overlap each other in the several fields of activity between the getting out of ore and other materials and the output of finished articles, and thereby to acquire the same advantage that the larger corporation now holds. Even when this is done there will be many independent establishments and great possibilities still undeveloped. There is a limit to single control which no one will be venturesome enough to try to pass, and iron and steel can no more be monopolized in this country than agriculture, though the industry can be systematized on vast scale.

One of the tricks of Germans lieu tenants in Maryland was most success full in Talbot county. on the eastern shore. The county was very close. The republican managers had instructed the negro voters to mark their ballots "in front of Massa Lincoln's nose" the face of Lincoln being the party emb- lem. The democratic emblem was a figure of Jackson and Liberty. The democrats had control of the election machinery and the printing of the bal lots. When the official sample ballots were published not one republican in the county, for some strange reason, noticed that Lincoln's head in the re- publican emblem was turned to the left instead of to the right. as had always been the custom. The result was nat urally that all the illiterate negroes who voted "in front of Lincoln's nose" marked their crosses to the right of "Jackson and Liberty" thereby voting the straight democratic ticket. The fraud was detected about II a. rn., but already more than 200 negro votes had been wrongly marked and cast.

ON ACCOUNT OF SICKNESS.

The torn and tattered remnant of a confederate regiment one day toward the close of the war was lined up by it's colonel and told that the command ing general was to pay visit of in spection' on the following day. The soldiers were admonished to do their prettiest."
 Just brace up as though your clothes were brand new uniforms and as though you had the best on earth to eat and plenty of it. We haven't any bugles left, but smith there has got a drum, and it's a plumb fine one big q barrel Now, Smith. when I give you the word tomorrow you let her go for all she's worth" Thus spoke the colonel.
 The next day came the general to inspect" the poor. half starved fight CTS. and as he appeared in the distance the colonel gave the order to line up." As the commanding officer drew near the colonel shouted, Now. Smith. let her go," and turned to salute the gen. eral.
 But not a note came from the big barrel drum.
 The colonel, red in the face, turned toward the drummer and again shout ed his order for music.
 But still the drum remained mute as the harp of Tara's Hall fame
 Infuriated at this open disobedian.e of orders, and in the presence of his commanding officer, too, the colonel rode down the line, and as he reached the refractory drummer. cried out:
 Say, Smith. what in - and - do you mean by not beating that blankety blank drum?''
 "1 can't. colonel" whispered Smith "The old drum is full of chickens, and half of 'em are for you"
