the front of the trough. With tight
cover the water in the trough can have
the chill removed very easily. 1t is es-
pecially important to have the iron
box as low down in the trough as pos
sible, so that the water at the bottom
of the trough may be warmed, as we'll
as that at the top. If possible let the
end compartment extend below the
main body of the trough, SO that the
iron box may open into the lower part
of the trough. AS the water is heated
it will rise and the colder water from
the bottom be drawn in to be heated
in its turn.-E. L. Henry, in Farm and

THE WISE MAN WHO FELL

There was man that people said r.r

He wisely used to give

He know the number Of the tons
That distant Neptune weighs.
He knew exactly to the dot
The length of Saturn's days.
This wise man made map of Mars
And marked the seas up there;

And exc on Marian air.

Two fools shot guns one day;

And when they shot no more
Men gathered up his corpse that they

Catarrh has already become q ma

ocean to ocean.
More than one-half of the people are
affected by it. 1t has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries Of the medical profession
and become a national question. Sem
ators are talking about it; Congress
men are discussing it.
They are not only considering the
extent and chronic nature of the dis
ease, but the possibility of finding ma
tional remedy to meet this national ca
lamity.
The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems
to be the main expectation in this d.

History of the Industry With Which
the Estey Name is Identified.

The organ industry, with which the Es-
tey name has been identified for half n
century, had its beginning i'm 1916, when
two young men from Winchester, y. II"
Samuel H. Jones and Joseph L. Jones,
the latter then 2l. and now one of the
aged residents OF Brattlehoro, came here
to establish a small shop i'm Centrevlle
where they made hand melodeons. With
Woodbury. & Burdett, makers of bass
Viols and violins as partners, the firm
was S II. Jones & co. In lSiS, Mr.. Bur
dett having bought out Woodbury., the
concern was known as Jones & Burdett,
They moved to this village into the upper
part of the old brick paper mill building,
Two years later T.. f. Carpenter bought
Mr. Jones's interest. Ten men were then
employed, and the making of melodeons
had given way to eOlians and seraphines.
Jacob Estey, who was i'm the pump husi-
ness on the site of milestone block, rent
ed quarters to Burdett & Carpenter in
1880. In 1852 Mr.. Estey bought out Mr..
Burdett and the firm became +. B. Car
penter & Company. Isaac Hines succeed
ed Mr.. Carpenter, and the firm name was
for a time Isaac Hines & Co. Mr. Estey
soon succeeded to the control of the bus-
ness, but sold an interest to II. p. Green.
The shop near the brook was burned in
1857, larger one which was built where
the Brattleboro House now stands was
also burned in 1864. Another factory,
which is the present hotel, was erected on
the site. In 1866 large factory was built

Gen. Estey's Death.

The PhPniX has never carried to its
readers news which will come as 4
burden of intimate personal sorrow to
so many hearts in the home COM
munity as that which holds chief place
in its columns today. julius j. Estey
was everybody's friend This was not
true of him simply in a perfunctory
and stereotyped way. His friendship
was genuine and sincere. 1t knew no
lines of class or rank Before the
world he bore an unblemshed charac-
ter But the best tribute that can be
paid to his memory is to say that to
his most intimate assoCiates-in the
business office of the Estey Organ
company, in his own home. to his own
sons he stood as a type of genuine
Christian manhood. He was broad
and generous by nature and much
travel and wide acquaintance with the
world had broadened and deepened
him without dulling any essential prin-
ciple. He had his own convictions of
right to guide his own personal life.
but he never acted the censor upon
the life of those about him. He was q
man OF piety. and it found expression
in his daily life. Outspoken and de-
voted in his own religious belief and
connection, his religion found express
sion oftener in deeds than in words.
His abounding good nature and wide
tolerance left no room for selfish
meanness. Whatever else he was,
julius j. Estey was an honest. sim
cere, conscientious man.
To the people of Brattleboro Gen
eral Estey's death means more than
can be said in words. For the busi-
ness interestsTof the town it is fortu-
nate that the main burden of active
responsibility in our leading manu-
featuring industry has for several
years been upon the shoulders of Gen
eral Estey's two sons, and that they
have proved themselves equal to their
task. In their hands the business will
be continued without break or
change, and they will show themselves
abundantly able to meet the full re-
sponsibilty which is now theirs.
From the days of Jacob Estey down,
they have a goodly heritage to main
tain, and an honored name to live up
to. They will maintain it and live up
to it.
