WHAT HAPPENED TO CHARLES.

The general eyed the medal closely,
saying it was difficult to tell whom it
resembled. Then he began to get red
in the face and Charles started to edge
toward the door.
Cant tell you, Charles, who it is.
Juct hand me my stick, there, Charles,
said Gen. Early, arising.
Charles gave him the stick and
dashed ont of the door as the cane
struck the frame. Charles found the
medal in the ashes in the fireplace a
oay or two later.
A niece of Gen Early married an Of
fcer of the United States army several
years ago, and among the invita-
tions sent out was one to the general.
1t was received with about the same
composure that mud bull shows when
he sees red flag. If he ever again
spoke to this niece no one here recalls
it.
Several years after the war Gen.
Early wrote an article ON some battle
in which he had taken part, and Gen.
William Malone took exceptions to
some of his statements. An acrimoni-
Gus correspondence ensued, winding
up with challenge from Gen. Early
to fight duel. He proposed that they
should go into a room, lock the door,
throw the key out OF the window and
let the door be opened the next day.
Some one tainted Gen. Early about
his proposition, saying that he did moi
believe that Gen, Early was in earnest
in wanting to fight Gen. Malone.
ROW WITH MALONE.
"Well, let him accept" was his re
ply. 81 prefer to have room wher'
we bill not be bothered. Shotguns

Of weapons suggested"
4 Those who know the general sa!
there is not the least doubt that b.
meant exactly what he said.
Gen. Early was a close friend to th
Charles w. Button, for years editor 0
the Lynchburg Virginian. Mr.. But
ton was man of deep religious con
victions, and was never known to us
an oath.
He often talked with Gen. Earl
~ upon religious matters. Gen. Earl
listened with profound attention, bu
it was evident that what was said mad
no impression upon him. After MI
Button had been arguing with the ger
eral one day in the summer, Will
seated in the editorial rooms, Ger
Early returned to Mr.. Button an
said:
"Charles, l have only one fear {
!. dying. know that am not n Chris
tian, but there is something worse tina
death.
Mr.. Button slowly asked the generI
what he meant. Gen. Early began
straighten himself up aud called M
i Buston to a awindow.
"See what" he said, pointing to
poet going down thestreet. "The on
reason that / have to fear death is th
that - poet will write some gray
yard poetry about me"
NEVER DoEFED THE GRAY.

soldier applied to Gen. Early for q

found them admirably managed in
every detail and that everything is
exactly as it should be-except that
a little appropriation is needed to
make necessary extensions and en-
largements in certain directions. 1
have heard that so often that I can
whistle it.
The first town asking for an ap-
preparation for repairing highways
was Highgate, and that got badly
turned down. 1t wasn't made a
precedent however, and the House
allowed Middlesex $4,000. Probably
some of the other poor towns will also
receive aid. In some cases there
won't be any roads if the state don't
help.
The friends of the Insurance Com
missioner bill claim twenty sena-
tors, but are not quite ready to state
their majority in the House. They
are pretty sanguine however. The
prospects are that the murderers
will not all be eventually turned
loose on the state by Communication of
sentence, and it is not thought that
the bill abolishing capital punish
ment can possibly get through.
They should and very probably will
all die in a heap, the three commu

tation bills and the adjustment bill.
By the way, another pardoned muir
derer has reached Montpelier, and
yet another, the notorious Mildred
Brewster, who has been quietly rest
ing in the Waterbury Asylum, since
her crime, lis now pronounced sane,
and will shorty be released. And
so murder continues to be cheapened
and the Legislature is asked to fur
Their excuse it. I think not.
Two weeks from tomorrow the
Legislature is expected to adjourn
finally and go home to Thanksgiv-
ing. The remaining work of the
session can we'll be done within the
allotted time by continuing in the
present way of killing pretty much
of everything that shows up. Out
side of rum and human and bovine
tuberculosis there are very few i'm
portant matters which will be seri-
ous1y discussed. A few will, of
course, but the mass will be tossed
onto the rubbish heap with scant
ceremony and less charity. In this
way the work of the session can be
well cleaned up and every measure
can be given all the consideration
1t needs or deserves. 1t will be a
session notable for its few new laws
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1902-11-14

and its few changes of old ones, and
considering everything, the state
will have every reason for being
grateful for what it refrained from
doing. One matter, at least, will
long render conspicuous the session
of 1902, the divorce of the republican
party of Vermont from the policy OF
prohibition. If the divorce is as
thorough and complete, the people
will put on the finishing touches
two years hence. That appears to
be the temper of the large majority
of the members of the present Gen
eral Assembly.
Among the bills killed the past
week we're: Repeating the law
against profanity, Incorporating a
farriers' and horseshoers' associa-
ton, valued policy insurance bill
as regards personal property. 1t is
understood that the bill allowing
! towns to elect two road commission
ers at their option will go through.
Burlington wants to bond for a
$40, 900 Soldiers Monument, and also
wants to be allowed to elect a park
commission. Nine out of ten of the
bills now in committee or befo1 e
either house are not of the least
earthly or heavenly consequence,
but here are a few that may amount
to something: Compensation for
damage to crops by deer; to prohibit
the selling of seined fish outside the
state; local option in taxation for
local purposes; penalty of $40 for
selling trout; affording Jail or secu-
rity for support of persons confined
on civil process; making days
work consist of nine hours; for the
better care of cemeteries; exempting
from taxation cooperative creamer-
les with capital stock of less than
$4,000; to prevent foreign loan assoc
Citations from charging more than
six per cent; for destruction of tax
d1lCl d SSl lIlnCS III
examination of insurance companies
once in three years; to prevent
spread of CHAMBERS; penalty for in
timidation of workmen or boycott
ting; assistant Judges to locate
schools instead of selectmen; pro-
viding for a forestry commission;
prohibiting giving of railroad passes
to Legislative and state officers.
The Senate has regulated the
speed of automobiles at six miles per
hour in cities and incorporated viii
lagos, and twelve miles outside. The
bill will very likely become a law,
as it should.
1t is understood that the policy of
the railroad committee will be to
prevent as far as possible the cross
ing of~steam lines by electric lines
at grade. this doing away with the
deadly grade crossing in conformity
with the governors recommended
tions and common sense.
