wh.. Could .n. POO, Cir, Do ?

A young lady, representing the
"upper crust" Of La Junta society.
stepped into Simonton's grocery
Thursday morning and handed
Van Valer, the clerk, what she
supposed to be an order Tor some
goods. Van scrutinized the slip
OF paper and then broad smile
spread over his countenance. In
stead OF an order for household
necessities, the slip of paper con-
tanned lead pencil copy of a poem
entitled, "There is no Harm in
Kissing" Van rushed into the
postoffice, where the young lady
had gone for mail. and exchang-
ed papers with the fair one, Inform
ing her at the same time OF her
mistake. 1t is unnecessary to say
that an usually healthy color came
over her comely face.

Although usually opportunity
and fame wait upon no man, there
is sometimes an exception to the
rule. Old bach. Iors, OF various
and sundry degrees OF crustiness,
do not usually have fame and op-
portunity thrust upon them at one
fell swoop, but il is the unex-
pected that most always some
times happens. There are some
very desirable specimens OF single
blessedness in La Junta, most oi
whom were cast in natures faires
mould. and very few OF them
"broke the mould a castin'."
Anxious maidens far and near are
becoming interested in their fate.
Last week ose OF them received q
letter addressed in small fcmi-

culiar faint perfume. His single
blessedness was naturally little
excited when he tore open the en-
velope, but that was nothing to

Fish and Game League, has received posi-
tive assurance that Vice-Presdent Roose-
welt has accepted an invitation to be pres
ent and speak al the annual banquet of the
league TO be held September 6. The day
previous he will speak at the Vermont Off
GERS reunion at Burlington.
IL is expected the Fish and Game meet
ing is to be- held at Isle La Motto again.
Senator Proctor is entitled to considerable
credit in securing Vice-PresideDt Roose-
velt's visit TO Vermont DR.. w. s. Webb
has invl ed Col. Roosevelt To be his guest at
Shelburne Farms during his stay H. Yer
mont and it is probable he will accept.
Dol. Rooseveit's fame as sportsman is
known from Maine to Oregon aud his hunt
ing tales, published in several volumes,
have attained wide popularity. No man
in public life is better qualified to address
an organization like the Fish and Game
League than Is Col. Roosevelt, particularly
II he should relate some OF his experiences
In hunting big game In the Rockies or on
the Western plains. He Is specially inter-
ested In all that pertains to honest, manly
sport and his advice to Vermont sportsmen
will be as valuable as his anecdotes are in
teresting.

DEATH OF MRS. l., II. GREENE.

Nell Elizabeth. wife of Alderman L. II
Greene, died just before noon Tuesday at
HeatOn Hospital.
Mrs Greene was born in Swanton in De-
cember, 1864. Sue was married there in
1892 and had resided in this city sbout fii-
teen years.
For seventeen years Mrs Greene had
been afflicted with rh eumatism and notwith-
standing that she had the best treatment
obtainsDle, the disease gradually grew upon
her until about three years ago she became
helpless invalid. For some time past she
had appeared to be in an improved condi-
lion, but wsek ago this afternoon she
caught cold from riding to Barre in an open
car. A high f5ver set in and finally she
was removed to Heaton Hospital.
1t was not believed nc frst that serious
results would follow, but on Monday night
it was observed that general breaking up
OF her system was taking place, so her death
today, although sudden, did not come en-
tirely unexpected by the family.
Mrs. Greene, although for years keen
sufferer, has borne her illness with patient
and touching fOrtitude and her death will
be deplored by wide circle of friends.
Aside from n husband, her father, Q. S.
Gates, Of Swanton, survives her. Her
mother died about twenty-three years age
and the deceased was au only child The
funeral will be h Id from Christ church on
Thursday afternoon at two O'clock, Rev. A.
n. Lewis officiating Burial will be in
Green Mount cemetery.

IN COUNT COURT.

B.H. Lowell, one OF the defendants in
the McKinstry- Collins case, was on the
stand nearly all Saturday forenoon.
AT the forenoon recess the court docket
was looked over aud large number OF
cases were set for trial both before aud af.
ter the May term Of Supreme court. 1t is
evidently Judge Watson's intention to keep
business trundling, and he is making an
earnest effort to partially at least clean up
the badly congested docket.
The case of the Northfield National bank
against the estate Of Nathaniel Csrnes. an
appeal from commissioners, is assigned for
trial Tuegday morning, May z.
Among the cases set for trial before Su-
preme Court is Herbert r. Sias against the
Consolidated Lighting Company. This case
was tried at the September term, 1857, re-
sulting in verdict for the plaintiff to re-.
cover So 2C0 The case went to Supreme
Court on exceptions by the plaintiff and at
the January, 1900, term the Judgment on
verdict was reversed and the cause was re.
manded for a new trial.

LETTER TO GEO. o. BOYCE,
Montpelier, ".

Dear Sir: Lead and oil is no longer the
paint to be prosperous with
AS everybody knows, lead and oil, chaks
or powders OFF in about three years-three
years is its limit.
Painters are putting little zinc in their
lead TO make 1t tough-it lasts good three
years with little zinc.
But painters don't like the job OF mixing
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 aud a 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
wears twice 80 long "a lead and oil.
This reduces the cost OF keeping q house
well painted 10 half.
Yours truly,
