MEN, WO1EN AND EVENTS.

A gentleman in New England, about
seventy years OF age, who apparently is
a vegetarian, having learned of Dr.
Henry van Dykes expeditions to Cana
da and elsewhere in search of big game,
recently sent to him pen drawing made
by himself of a stag-a charming piece OF
work for man OF such years-and un
derneath placed this motto in large let
tiers: Thou shalt not kill" DR.. van
DYKE, in acknowledging receipt of the
drawing, thanked his friend for his kind
ness, and suggested that under certain
conditions more appropriate text
would be Acts X. 10: RISE, Peter, kill
aud eat"
During the period OF the presidential
boom which was started in behalf Of
Governor Shaw of Iowa, few weeks
ago; The Des Moines Register" publish
ed in conspicuous position this injunc-
ton, Keep Your Eye on Shaw
This was continued after the governor
had been selected to succeed Secretary
Gage, and during his visit to Washing
ton in connection with the appointment,
Mr.. Shaw was visited by an Iowa man
who temporarily resided in Washington.
"Governor," said he, addressing Mr.
Shaw, Isn't it about time that motto
was taken out of The Des Moines Reg
lister? ?"
The governor didn't understand.
"Why, mean that legend that they
have been printing every day for some
time" continued the visitor. at says,
Keep Your Eye on Shaw 1t was all
right while we were talking of nomina-
ting you for president, but, now that you
are to have the custody 100000 900
or $8OO,OO0,OOO of the governments

Prosecution and Persecution.

1t is possibly rather difficult for some
people to appreciate the difference be.
tween prosecution and prosecution, But
there is a difference-and big difference,
too.
Prosecution is that which is under
taken by virtue of existing law, as a
remedy for a wrong condition of things
to bring about the punishment of
the transgressor and to emphasize the
fact that law, in its relation either to
public or private interests, cannot be vio-
lated with IMMUNITY. Prosecution is a
thing to be carried on without preju-
dice, and with only legitimate ends in
view.
Persecution has no foundation in law,
and is never excusable. 1t is the out
growth of personal bitterness, the child
of malice, the handmaiden of revenge.
1t has no place in the pubic economy.
1t builds up no interests that are worth
conserving, 1t is not an effective remedy
Neither law nor equity tolerates it.
There is as much difference between
prosecution and persecution as between
daylight and dark. The man who mis-
takes the former for the latter makes {
serious mis- axe; but no more 50 than h,
who undertakes persecution where only
prosecution is in order.

No Politics in the League.

A meeting Of the Vermont Fish and
Game League always calls out a lot Of
cheap talk about its political significance,
and last weeks gathering was no ex.
ception. To the credit of the president,
Mr.. Titcomb, it can be said that the
league has never been political organ
ization or become interested in anybody's
political aspirations. The Burlington
Free Press, which is published in the city
where the last meeting was held, has
this to say on this subject:
while in somewhat rare instances
men were overheard talking politics as
the meeting OF the Vermont Fish and
Game League was in progress, we believe
it will be generally admitted that Presi.
dent John W. Titeomb OF the league at
tended strictly to his knitting work and
sought the welfare Of the league and the
interests OF the people as a whole from
first to last. President Ttcomb is not

The Ship of Shadows.

rThe following tribute to the late Charles
P. Graham, St. ]. A., '95, Dartmouth ~,
was written by his college cl 'ssmatf, Gorqon

WORTH 100000, 600,

The President of certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth 5000, 100000. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yethe isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear q Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, betterstill, divide the money among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
I have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Bensons Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.
It may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be a
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions, etc., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. 1t relieves at once
and cures quickly. Tt stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm
itations and substitutes. All druggists, or
we will prepay postage on any number
ordered in the United States on receipt Of

The people OF Barton and vicinity-or
at least good many of them-have the
gold mining fever just now, and are max
ing arrangements to get rich fast by sub
scribing to stock of a mining company in
the faraway somewhere. 1t is said that
quite bit of money from that section is
already inve sted in a venture OF this sort.
There are lots of big, deep holes in the
West into which a great deal of hard
earned Vermont money has been put, to
the sorrow of the putters. Maybe our
Orleans county friends have struck some
thing genuinely rich. We hope so.

Office Consolidation.

Governor Crane caused very uneasy
feeling among certain office holders in
Massachusetts by recommending the
consolidate of various offices and the
adjustment entirely of others. If his
recommendations are carried out it is
estimated that saving of 100000
would be effected In Vermont, if the
practically useless Offices were abolished
and a number of Others consolidated a
considerable saving in expenditures
could be made for the state. The ten
dency, however, is to create more offices
rather than to contract the present Of
flee holding. 1t is possible, however,
that we may sometime have a governor

this matter and effect handsome saving
