Gen. ALGERS LUCKY NUMBERS
The Figures I'LL Connected With Almost
Every Important Event In IT'S Lffe.

Every Important Event In Ills Lne.
WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Russell
A. Alscr OF Michigan is not ordinarily .
rIperstitious man. but he has a very
tender spot in his heart for the numbers
-7-iI,' which have been connected ia some
manner with almost every important event
in his life and in many minor matters BE-
sides. The manner in which these two
policy numbers have pursued him through
life was brought to light BY little incident
which occurred since his arrival At the Ar
lington Hotel on Nov. 81, as one OF party
Of seven. when an express package num-
bered Till, on which II cents was due, was
brought to him At the hotel by express
wagon No T. The coincidence OF numbers
became more marked when It was noticed
that the express frank held by the Senator
was No. 7.
Mr.. Alger did not seam at all surprised
when the matter was called to his attention,
and the following facts will show why; He
was born on Feb. ~, 1885, both OF his parents
died when he was II years Old and for seven
years following he worked on a farm. He
was admitted TO the bar March 7. 1850,
and tho degree Of LID. was conferred
on him by Hillside College Nay T. 1885.
He was made Colonel Of the Fifth
Michigan Cavalry on June II, 1863; hreveted

Vanishing Man.

The position of the dethroned tyrant,
Man, is growing precarous. Woman's
Spear which Prof. ARTRMUs WARD
asked the strong-minded woman not to
spear him with. is becoming more and

giant woman should not be tyrannous in
using her strength.
Every day the head Of tho ridiculous

SOLOMON, Judge GEORGE B. SIDENER.
Day by day the law prunes something

Day by day his employment is taken

A few struggling men still keep their hold

How few people know how to make a

have sometimes thought that wills ought
to be made. OF at least, specific legacies
conticll ~ Wy a vote OF surviving relatives.
II certainly is true that some folks make
wills AMI die just for the sake OF aggra-
,sting." There was the Tar Heel woman
whose will was probated last week, She
directed her executors 10 give Ave cents
TO each Of her forty-three living relat ives
TO show she remembered them" This
is cruelty, The estate was only $4,000,
a sum not worth dividing. In such case
the forty-three should have the right TO
draw lots for all or none The malice Of
will-makers is beyond belief, Some phi
lanthropist should found chair for the
exposition and promotion Of sound resta-
Inentary intentions.

BARRE W., AUGUST 21 1902

For nearly twenty years prior to the
Civil Var the United States was hang.
ing on the verge Of ruin because there
was dlssension amongst the citizens of
the republic. One half Of the nation
was struggling to maintain certain
system and the other half was equally
industrious in it's effort to tear it
iown. Conditions finally reached a
point when it became necessary to
fight it out and settle it once for all
time. The fight was bitter one and
lasted for years but, sad as 1t was, it
was inevitable and as result this
American republic today is hundred
times more substantial than it would
have been il the issue had not been
fatally met. The United States is now
the t ost powerful nation on the face
Of the earth because its people are
united. They have wiped out their
internal discord and they understand
each other. The republican party in
Vermont is having similar exsisten.
ce. The strife that has existed for ma
ny years over local issue has stretch
ed the cord OF Unity to it's highest
tension For the good Of the party
itself it was necessary that sooner or
later the opposing factions should ar.
ray themselves against each other and
tear away the mask Of hypocrisy un-
der which SO many good republicans
! ave gone to the ballot box year after
year to vote for local principles that
they did not believein. A mutual
