ERNEST HAROLD BAYNEs,
OLEO HUMoR AT WASHINGTON.

Rerresentat ives Mann, republican OF Ill
inois and Davidson of Wisconsin, are on
opposite sides of the controversy over but
ter legislation. The former comes from
Chicago, where few cows are kept but
where vast quantities of oleomargarine
nro manufactured The latter halls from
Oshkosh, where the gentle Bossy has
things all her own sweet way. The two
lawmakers are prone to continue the ar
gument in the restaurant and elsewhere.
1t goes like this;
Mann-"Do you expect to raise the price
of hutter by this hill?
Davidson thinking OF the many people
WHO eat hutter)-"No.
Manu-"Then you are rot doing II To
benefit the dairyman or the farmer?'
pavidson-"rm working for a law that
will protect the man who eats butter 50
that he won't have to eat cheap imlta-
ton in tho belief that he is eating good
dairy butter"
Mann-"So it is the consumer of butter
you are looking after?"
extraordinarily to protect him
from fraud"
Mann--"Wcll, If this legislation is franz
ed in the interest of the consumer, l should
like to have you tell me why, in the name
of goodness. all the men who come from
places where butter is largely consumed
the big cities like Chicago, New York, and
other centers of population-are opposed
to the bill and its only support comes
from the country and dairy districts.

THE WOLVERINE.

If you have ever associated with trap
pcrs who make their living by capturing
fur-boaring animals in the far north, you
have doubtlss heard them speak in most
unComplimentary terms of creature they
called the "glutton.' This Is the wolVcr-
inc, an animal of which much has been
written, Notwithstanding the fact that
very little is known about him; a distnc-
ton, | might add which it shares with n
good many other animals.
The wolverine is stoutly built, and about
three and "A half feet i'm length, inCludiu z
n rather short tall which Is covered with
long, droGning hair. The general appear
ancc Of the animal reminds MS of a shaggy
short-taled dog or small bear The head
is broad, with obtuse nose, short ears and
small eyes. The body Is covered with dark
brown or black hair about -FOUR inches
long which hides beneath it an under
coat of soft, short fur The legs are short
and stout, and the feet broad and covered
below with woody hair Tho toes are arm
ed with strong and fairly sharp claws
The curious appearance of the animal is
added to by IA band of reddish brown hair
which commences behind the shoulder
runs along the flank, and, turning up on
the hip unites in the rear with a similar
band on the other side of the body. There
Is also a whtish band across the fore
head, from ear to ear Such Is the ami
NAL which the early writers loved to 70
nance about and which the northern
hunter doesn't love at all
The carly explorers of the northern parts
of Europe and America came across the
animal In their travels and being unable tc
learn much concerning his habits, they
called upon their powerful imagnations
and endowed him with character as
black as his own shaggy coat. They
wrote Of him as a mysterious creatur,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Higbee OF Char otte Discusses Diff
ferent Phases Of Bovine Tuberculosis.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
1t is not claimed by those who object to
the mpetuous methods of the cattle com
mission as regards the killing of COWS In
Chittenden county, that certain stages of
tuberculosis do not exist. 1t Is not claimed
hut the tuberculin test may be of value IN
detecting the existence of disease. ii Is
rot claimed that the theories of scientific
men and experts are not valuable--aS inc
or.es. 1t is not claimed that the farmers
of this county are disposed to own dls-
cusod cows or to sell unwholescme milk
or butter
Put it is claimed that DR.. Koch. the
highest living authority On this subject,
has given 1t as his deliberate professional
opinion that bovine tuberculosis is not
transmissble to the human race
1t is claimed that tho cattle commission
assumed" in their dealings with Willis
ton and Essex and Jericho farmers that
their "tuberculin test was "infallible -
no matter what their mental reservations
may have been. 1t Is claimed that the
farmer-the immediate sufferer-was not
given the benefit of any doubt as TO IN
fallbiity" The cattle were tested at the
dictation of the commission, killed at their
dictation. examined or not just as they
saw fit and the dairynan had nothing To
do hut submit had nothing to say, hut TO
beg for mercy, The death records from ;hG
town clerk of Williston showed there was
no increase of death from consumption,
Iut the contrary Probably Essex and
jericho and Undcrnil could show the
same. 1t Is claimed that such a record OF
facts should Outweigh heoLics. Is this
claim based en- common sense or nSt?
Vermont IS a dairy state. Our butter has
always brought first prices in the market
Our creameries have been increasing the
price of farms. Young men were putting
money into land and COWS. 1t looked as
though the "abando ned farm" was becum-
ing thing of the past Hopefulness

State Com missioner Sanford Makes In
terssting Suggestions.

State Highway Commissioner j. o. Sam
ford of Stamford writes the Montpelier
Journal as follows
1t must be apparent to any one who has
given thought to the subject that a chang
ing vacillating policy in road matters is
a bad policy. Who can we'll calculate the
amount of money that Is squandered while
new men are experimenting with roads?
This is easily seen in towns that annually
elect a new road commissioner and | am
sorry to say that there are some towns
that continue to do so to their great dotri-
ment. Such towns have made very little
progress in permanntly improving their
roads. On the other hand we have a large
list of towns that have kept to a continu-
Gus policy, selecting the same commits
sioner term after term. In those towns
we find the good effects of the combined
endeavors of the State and towns in per-
manently improving the highways and a
local sentiment of satisfaction. 1 plead
for the reelection of the town road COM
missoners There may be exceptional
cases, where it may DO advisable to change
but believe such exceptions are rare.
The present commissioners. as a class,
We're well chosen. Almost without exccp-
ton they have done good work. as shown
by their reports to this office Those who
have come short in some particulars would
be more likely to succeed If they had a
chance than would new and inexperienced
men.
I have reason to believe that real good
road commissioners, of good road judg-
ment, and who have done excellent work
the past year are liable to be turned down
and new and inexperienced men elected in
their stead. Oh, don't do it. 1t is hard
enough to build up the roads anyway.
Give us good men. Let your prejudices
and political preferences wait. Let us at
tend to the roads.
In regard to winter road management:
Some trouble grows out of the system OF
winter road management. Usually an APP
preparation is made by the town for roads
and it is expected that the commissioner
will eXpend that sum-and no more-ir
road work during the year, including snow
work This plan Is often embarrassing tc
the commissioner, for he cannot well cal
culate the sum that will be required fol
winter roads-and with his best calcula-
tons and the uncertainty of Vermont
winter storms, he is apt to overrun the
appropriation making deficit which is
always discomforting.
All This trouble is obviated in soma towns
by assessing a special tax for winter road
work. Usually Ave per cent tax Is suf
ficient in ordinary winters. and in ia
Vorablc seasons. when the money is not
all used 1t remains as fund for future
now work. / suggest that this plan b
more generally adopted by the towns.

CONGRESSIONAL LUNCHERS
CWashlngton Cor. Troy rimesD

The visitors TO Washington who hap
pened to drop into one of the restaurants
located at either end Of the Capitol some
times sees peculiar things. A day or two
ago five members of the House of Repre-
sentatiVs sat down. one Of them called
for a milk stew; another was satishcd
with piece Of pumpkin pie and glass
Of milk; the third took baked apples and
cream; another had custard pie and the
last called for a bowl Of half-and half,
which means milk and cream and "A plate
Of bread. There was nothing peculiar
about this luncheon. 1t has been dupli-
Gated n score of times a day. Just as the
waiter served the different orders very
wealthy member from one of the Eastern
States sat down. He looked around at the
orders and said: Waiter. bring me a
milk stew" AS the waiter started to an
the order he called him back. Hold on
there he said; bring me a couple OF
bottles of White Seal and six glasses" IN
a few minutes the SIX members were en-
gagged in disposing of their pie, apples
milk stew and bread and milk and each
one was contentedly slipping glass OF
champagne. That's peculiar combina-
ton" said a passing newspaper man &c
