THE best beds are iron beds. Some
are more expensive than others;
it all depends on the way they are
trimmed. We have plain enameled
bed for as low as $5-they are from
that up, depending entirely on the
brass work. They are pleasing to the
eye and restful to the tired body.

Question Number Two.

The sexton of a certain country
church usually makes the most Of an
opportunity, and Is not above giving
what he describes as "a gentle int" to
the sightseer.
The other afternoon he had conduct
ed a party round the church, and de-
spite the casual dropping Of more than
one gentle Int" it appeared as If the
sexton was to go unrewarded.
In the porch the leader of the party
paused a moment, thanked the old
sexton profusely, and wished him
good afternoon"
II suppose" he added, you've been
here many years"
Forty" replied the old man, "an'
it's a VERY strange thing, as when
ever I'm a-shOwing a party out o. the
porch they allus asks me that ques-
tion, orr with amphasls) ''the other'n"
Indeed" smiled the visitor "And
what may the other question be"
what l calls question number two"
replied the sexton, calmly, ''is Jest

1t Was Easier.

"Sam" Elder told the doctors some
pretty good stories the other afternoon
at the Massachusetts, Medical Society
dinner, about their own profession.
From the way his hearers laughed
L should think the yarns were about
all new. One was about an old prac-
titioner, who, because OF advancing
years, had rellnquished all Of his out
of-town practice to his young assist
ant. One night the older physician
vas called on by two men In buggy
one OF whom wanted the doctor to
come to his house. eight miles away,
and attend his wife, who was very ILL.,
'She will have no one but you, doctor"
said the man.
"Well, I'll go for $40 and not cent
less" said the doctor
A whispered consultation went on in
the carriage, and finally the physician
heard a voice say: Better pay the
ten. It's "A good deal cheaper than
burying her"
And the doctor got his money. Dos-

A Horseshoe in a Log.

A curiosity was disclosed at Work &
Yeend's sawmill on Thursday. A large
oak log was put on to be sawed A
slab nearly eighteen inches in thick
ness was cut off the butt. Then n
plank one and one-half inches thick
was severed and the saw started on a
trip through the log for another plank
of the same thickness. When about
four feet from the butt there was
cracking, buzzing and flying Of teeth.
The. saw was checked down so that
it stopped the engine The log was
run back and when the saw was free
it had been stripped OF all its teeth,
thirty-eight in number
The obstacle was dug out and found
to be u horses shoe. 1t was hand

Will We Lose the Fish Hatchery.

There is some danger that St. Johns
bury is to lose the Hatchery, or at least
that this station will become subordin-
ate to hatchery located in some other
part of the state. This fact has been
surmised ever since it was announced
that the idea of building storage dam
above Emerson Falls and making the
intervals occupied by Riverside Farm
into a reservoir was abandoned by the
government because of local opposition.
The matter was brought to public at
tention again last week by meeting at
Rutland of which the Herald says:
Senator Red6eld Proctor of Proctor,
United States Fish Commissioner George
M. Bowers OF Washington, D. c., aud
John W. Titcomb of St. Johnsbury were
in town yesterday. None of the party
would talk regarding the business which
brings them here, but it is understood
that their errand is in relation to
favorable site for an auxiliary fish hatch
cry in this vicinity. There is a $4,000
appropriation not in use, which was
originally intended tor the purpose of
increasing the water supply at the St,
Johnsbury hatchery. There is not
enough water i'll that section however,
OF the proper temperature in the hot
summer months to increase this supply
as much as desired, heuce the demand for
an auxiliary station"
Mr.. Titcomb in speaking of the situa-
ton, states that it is utterly impossible
to accomplish the desired results at the
hatchery with the water supply as 1T is
at present. The quantity of water is
ample and the quality is excellent, the
only trouble being that during the hot
season the storage capacity is so small
that the water reaches a temperature
that units it Tor use and the larger
reservoir was planned with the idea of
remedylng this trouble. 1t will be re-
membered that an appropriation of$20,-
900 was secured from congress to cover
the land damage and erect the necessary
dam. This it was understood was just
a beginning, for it was the plan to make
: the St. Johnsbury hatchery the best in
4 the United States. 1t was generally be-
/ lIeved that the matter had reached q
final settlement, but the desire of Mr.
) TitcOnb and the Fisheries commission tC
r have the Vermont station a model one
e has not been given up and new station
= may be built on the west side of tn,
, state that may eventually become tn
I main hatchery.
