Mrs. Charles ). George was accident
ally shot by her husband about O'Clock
Sunday morning at their home in Barre
and died in few minutes. Mr.. and Mrs.
George were people about sixty years
old and kept a boarding house on West
street. Mr.. George had been accustomed
TO shoot at a target in the house with a
Flobert rifle. Sunday morning he got up
early and setting up his target in the
kitchen went into the next room to
shoot. The Flobert cartridges 90 not
make much noise when exploded which
accounts for Mr.. Georges custom of in
door shooting. just as he fired the shot,
Mrs. George came out of the bedroom in
her stocking feet, and failing to see what
her husband was doing, stepped in range,
receiving the bullet in her neck near the
jugular vein. Nr. George caught her as
she fell and sent at once for two physi-
clans, but she was dead when they
arrived. Chief of Police Patrick Brown
and States Attorney Il. \. Iioar were
called and Mr.. George was placed in the
lookup for a few hours but he was later
released on his own recOgniZance. An
autopsy conducted by five doctors was
held Monday on the body. 1t was -four d
that death was caused by the bullet
wound and not by shock. The bullet
penetrated the iugular vein and buried
itself near the base of the brain. IL has
not yet been decided what will be done
with George. lie is in charge Of hi;
attorney and the time for the hearing
has not yet been set. He is very mucl
depressed and refuses all nourishment.

A Very Favorable Week for Crop Growth
and Farm Work

Very Favorable Week for Crop Growth
and Farm Work.
The weather of the week ending Nav

caused great improvement. in all crops.
and rapid growth of grass and foliage.
Much blowing has been done, and in the
southern portion of the district il is
nearly completed, but there is general
complaint that the ground remains too
cold and wet for the planting of staple
crops. The advancement of the season
varies greatly, some correspondents re.
porting 1t late, and others 10 days ahead
of the average, but over the greater
portion of the section it seems to be con.
sidered somewhat late, and that warm
drying weather is needed.
Nearly all grain has been sown
Early sown oats are up and looking well
Winter gain is very promising, and rye
Is in good condition. Little corn ha:
been planted, but in parts of Maine and
Vermont more will be planted than last
year.
Grass continues to be in the finest

respondents report that grass never
looked better.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF NATIONS.

How much nearer 10 each other tie
nations of the world seem to be today,
and really are today, than was the case a
few decades ago. When weeks and
months were required for communication
between the United States and Europe,
the countries of the old world appeared
to be a long way oft. Now the circum-
ference of old earth is belted with tele-
graph and cable lines in every possible
direction. What happens today in Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa, Australia, South
America, and the great islands of the
sea, is made known to us tomorrow by
great newspapers like The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, whose foreign news CORE
respondents are located in every import
ant city the world outside of the United
States. In addition to its own staff cor
respondents, The Record-Ilerald enjoys
the foreign news service of The New
York Herald, famous for many years for
the reliability of its foreign news, and
also of The New York Tribune, and of
that great cooperative newsgathering
organization, The Associated Press. No
other daily newspaper in America pos
sesses facilities so varied and extensive
for covering the news of all nations.

years-three years is its limit.
Painters are putting a little zinc In
their lead to make it fought lasts a
good three years with little zinc.
But painters don't like the Job of mix
ing zinc. It's tedious Job, and, both
being white, nobody knows when the
mixing is thorough. 1t gets half-mixed !;
and the paint goes on, streak of lead
and streak of zinc. That is not good
work.
The mistake made is in trying to do by
hand what is better done by machinery.
Hand-work can't compete with machine
work.
Devoe lead and zinc is your paint. 1t

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest

wealth of the world has increased owing
to the fact that at the beginning of the
century official estimates of national
wealth of the United States, Great Brit
ain, France and Spain in 1900 was
estimated al about 100000, 600, 900 ac-
cording to statement issued by the
treasury department., while in 1895
Mulhall estimated The wealth of the
nations named at Sl95.7 $40 600, or
practically ten times that at the be
ginning Of the century.
While the indebtedness of the world
increased over 1900 per cent in a little
globe increased only 80 per cent, the
debt per capita being much larger than
it was 100 years ago. In the meantime
it Is worthy of note that silver and gold
which form the basis of the money with
which debt payments are made increased
300 per cent, though the proportion of
the existing gold and silver which is
now turned into coin is much larger
than at the beginning of the last
century.
In view of the ease with which enor-
nous loans are negotiated at the present
time it is safe to conclude thar the in
crease in the Indebtedness of the nations
will be accelerated from this time on
rather than diminished. People are so
anxious for good investments that they
are not particular as to the period
covered by the loan provided The security
is satisfactor Moreover HE enormous
fortunes accumulated by individuals in
this country as well as abroad and the
vast aggregations OF wealth represented
by syndicates, by the great insurance
companies and by the trust companies
are all tending to facilitate government
loans and TO dis>ipate all ideas concern
ing date of payment. Every indlca-
ton points to a growth of national in
debtedness during the century now
begun which may overshadow even that
of the century Just closed.-Burlington

braska papers say that the drouth
and heat of the past two or three
weeks is unprecedented and all the
corn and hay crops are ruined and
water is so scarce that fires are
working terrible damage to every
thing. Hay is reporte to be $50 a
ton in some places and the prices oil
stock have taken a great slump.
While the Dakotas have undoub ted
