A Tale with a Moral.

1t is not often that man or beast gets q
free ride on the electric road Last
Thursday, however, was an exception.
As a car was coming out of Saxtons
River rooster summing himself on the
track was picked up by the fender and
carried to Bellows Falls where he was
captured and put in the sand box by
Conductor. Bean that he might be re-
turned to his owner.
Motorman Park Mellish took the car
back and on starting noticed the tail
feathers protruding from the sand box
and asked what was going to be done
with the rooster. The reply was that he
was to be taken out AWAITS and thrown
off. A dead rooster had been lying be-
side the track for several days and Mel
fish supposed that the corpse was in the
sand box. When two or three miles out
of the village he grabbed the tail feathers
intending to give the corpse burial in
the cold snow. The corpse, however,
proved lively one and made for Mellish
in true game fashion, and it required a
combat of five minutes and an exhibit
ton of great skill and prowess to capture
the bird and restore him to the sand box.
The surprise gave Mellish several attacks
of heart disease, and he was so frustrated
that he attempted to collect from the
owner fare for the ROSTERS ride.
Moral, don't be cocksure of anything.

During the time Mr.. Lane was select
man the state erected the William
Frenchs monument in the Westminster
cemetery, and Governor Converse gave
into his hands the management of the
affair. Mr.. Lane always voted the demo
cratic ticket until during Cleveland's
second administration. He voted for
Mckinley in 1896 and had voted the re-
publican ticket since.
Henry Clark Lane, son of Ithamar and
Lucinda Clark Lane was born in West
minister, January 26, 1924. He attended
the public schools Of his town and Wal
pole academy, then noted school, and
at sixteen years of age was fitted for col
lege. Owing to his fathers illness and
financial embarrassment Mr.. Lane was
compelled to forego his cherished aspira-
ton, for a liberal education, which
he cheerfully did, and assumed the man
agement of farm of 300 acres. After his
fathers death, at twenty-one years of
age, he settled the estate, met all liabili-
ties, and was prosperous farmer, until
at about thirty years of age he removed
to the village and soon after sold the
paternal estate. September II, 1850, he
married Mary p, daughter of Frederick
T. and Elizabeth T. Peniman) Nutting
of Westminster Four children were
born, Fred Ithamar, Emma E., who mar
ried George G. Stoddard, civil engineer
now of New York city; Caroline L., who
married Fred L.. Cakes of South Franz
ingham, Mass; and Nellie ", who mar
ried DR.. Charles Fl. Prindle of Chicopee,
Mass. Mrs. Stoddard and Fred l. Lane
are the only surviving children, Mrs.
Cakes having died last October II, and
Mrs. Prindle November 10. Mrs. Lane
died March 10, 1874. The three surviv-
ing grandchildren are Mary S.. Prindle of
Chicopee, Mass, Henry Lane Cakes of
South birmingham, Mass, and Lawrence
Clark Stoddard of New York city
Mr.. Lane died Wednesday night of last
week. The funeral was held at the home
in Westminster at 2 p. NJ. Saturday and
there was large attendance of fellow
townsmen and friends and acquaintance
from surrounding towns. The officiating
clergymen were Rev. g.. III. DeBevoise
and Rev. p. f. Barnard. The former
spoke very touchingly and appropriately
of Mr.. Lanes life and services. Mr..
Lanes favorite selections, Sometime
We Shall Understand, and ''Shall We
Gather at the River" were sung beauti-
fully by Misses Lila Richardson and
Alice Anderson. The bearers were the
son, Fred l. Lane, and the three sons-in-
law, Fred L. Cakes, DIR. C. II. Prindle
and George c. Stoddard. The burial was
in the family lot in the old Westminster
cemetery.
Writing two years ago another truly
said: Probably there is no other per
sonality now on the stage of active life
In Westminster who will be so long and
well remembered by his deeds as HenryC.
Lane. As a farmer, public official, a
financier, counselor in affairs, and as a
man, Mr.. Lane has left his impress upon
the community.

CURRENT EVENTS.

The railroad companies have decided
that they can't check automobiles, like BIZ
cycles, as personal baggage
This will be great disappointment to
the owners of those vehicles, but perhaps
shey can send them back and forth through
the mails, wrapped in paper and marked
"ldse."

The number of dogs allowed in village
should be based on the pop lation and not
altogether on the ability of the owners to
pay for six or seven licenses apiece With
one dog to so many inhabitants the number
,ofbarking snarling, growing animals would
be materially decreased, and it might be
possibe to pass through the streets with
out skirting dog fight at every few feet
That this would be depriving a great
many people of favorite form of diver
sion is evident from the crowd that wi |
hang with bated breath around coupe of
miserable ours trying to chew each other
mp.
Nobody, even in the busiest part of the
day, is ever too much occupied to attend
to do, fight, and the first fierce growl
that betokens the commencement of hostil-
tiles draws all within hearing to the doors
and windows to enjoy the conflict. What
particular pleasure the spectacle affords is
not known but unit one of the CANNES has
succeeded in treating the other ike cud
of gum not visible or invisible wheel re-
yo'ves
The dog is all right and he means well,
but he is out of place in a village; he be-
longs in wi d and lonely spots where his
protective instin is can have full play, and
where he will not be constantly meeting
irritating acquaintance
Though every dog, according to his
owner, is perfectly gentle, he has habit
of rushing out to greet newcomers with a
Rubifoam smile that strikes terror to a
timid SOU. "Oh, he won't bite" they de-
care reassuringy and you advance eau
tious y, sincerely hoping that he won't.

Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker has
been given the opportunity of life
time, through his selection as tenn
porary chairman of the republican
state convention of Ohio and the con-
sequent duty of introducing Mark
Hanna as permanent chairman.

convention. a messenger brought to

his fame as a politician. word that
Mark Hanna wanted a certain thing
done when the convention came TO
order who is Mark Hanna. any

then running Ohio. Northern Ohio

of Grass ignorance and it was long be-
fore it could recover from the rude
shock. June "a, according to the
plans OF the state committee. Mr..
Foraker will have a grand chance to
prove to the people that he is no
longer in q sulphurically nebulous
state as to the identity of Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Foraker has learned much
about Mr.. Hanna since the national
convention referred to. Indeed, Mr..
Foraker. 81 several critical periods in
his later political career, has shown
most profound diligence in keeping
posted as to Mark Hanna. and it is
among the possibilities that his thor
ough study of the gentleman's char
acter will prompt Senator Foraker to
give Mark Hanna a send-off such as
few men get. 1t is probable that,
like any good christian, Mr.. Foraker
will not tell the convention all he
knows about Mr.. Hanna, but he can
be depended upon to eloquently dis
abuse all minds of doubt az TO his
close acquaintance with him. AS u
sort of G. .. D.. or dove of-peace ar
rangement, Permanent Chairman
Hanna will then recommend Mr. For
aker for the senatorship.
The education Of both gentlemen
as TO the identity of each other has
progressed with rapid strides the
past few years.

question, What becomes of the
