The Oldest License Law.

1t is not easy to link the license
laws of four thousand years ago with
the liquor legislation of today.
Severe as are some Of our modern
prescriptions, the most ancient code
of laws ia the world, brought to light
by recent discoveries in Persia, are
unmatched in severity and indicate
that the regulation of the liquor
traffic Was problem as far back as
runs the history of mankind. King
khammurabi of Babylon, who pro-
mulgated these earliest known de-
crecs, of himself said, claw and
Justice established in the land, l
made happy the human race in
those days" but he was stern mon
arch though if not prohibi-
Zionist and there was doubtless no
evasion of the maximum penalty for
any intracton of the code which has
come down to us on stone from
B. {. 22S5. Happiness was not the
share of any violator OF the law.
In Babylonia all the wine mer-
chants appear to have been women,
and one al ticle OF the code reads:
''lf wine merchant has not re-
ceived corn as the price of drink,
has received silver by the great
stone, and has made the price of
drink less than the price of corn.
that wine merchant one shall put
her to account to throw her into the
water"
The Holy River (Euphrates) it
may be explained, was the count of
last appeal. If the merchant was
guilty of selling drink too cheaply,
she drowned; if not, she got ashore
safely. The penalty Tor allowing
disorder on licensed premises, how
ever, was more severe:
eff a wine merchant has collected
riotous assembly in her house,
and has not seized those rioters and
driven them to the palace, that wine
merchant shall be put to death"

THREATENED BY A DAM
People Of Weston Fear They May
Be Washed Away.

The little town of Weston, up on
the mountain eight or ten miles from
Londonderry, is greatly disturbed
ever the possibility of being washed
away by the breaking Of Il dam con-
filming an enormous body of water
which has been altifcially stored
above the town for many years, sa,

which flowed quite stream of
water, utilized in the way OF power
tor a tannery and two or three other
lesser manufacturing establishments.
For the past several years, however,
the power has been ve,y little used,
and it is now supposed to be going
to decay as result of neglect.
Complaints have been made from
time to time by the people of Wes-
ton who have become thoroughly
alarmed lest Il heavy TALL Of rain may
prove too much for the weakened
structure whose failure to hold a
swollen reservoir, it is feared, might
cause death and destruction in the
valley below.
An appeal to Judge Henry X.
Start of the supreme court resulted
in the appointment Of a commission
to investigate the matter and report
to him. This commission was COM
posed of John II. Merrlfieid, county
clerk of Windham county, Judge
George II. Bond of Searsburg and
Capt. E. A. Howe of Ludlow. They
have inspected the dam, and their
report, which has already been filed
with the court, is reported to con-
firm all that has been feared respect
ing the unsafe condition of the dam.

Success Of Rutland Trappers.

Reports which are now coming
into Rutland indicate that a larger
amount of small game has been
trapped in that vicinity than for sew
eral years, and Il surprisingly large
potion of the game has been caught
within the limits OF the city of Rut-
land.
The animals which have been
most plenty are muskrats and sknnks
and several Rutland men have netted
good sized sums through bounties
and the sale Of pelts.
Assistant City Engineer Elmer S.
Moore has been one of the most en-
thusiastic trappers. Up to date since
Sept. he has caught 81 mnskrats,
65 .skunks, three foxes, two rae
coons and ten mnks.
Percy Adams has caught 81
skunks and 1870 muskrats and sew
eral other fur bearing animals. Many
others have taken good numbers of
the same animals and the total would
be enormous if it could be deter
mined.

MARCHED INTO THE BAY.
fhs Trick . Company Of Naval Cadets
Played on Their Captain.

Commodore II. H. Lockwood was
. gallant officer and mathemati-
clan Of high rank, but what served
chiefly to distinguish him among
Uncle Sans fighting men was his
stammering habit, and stories still
are told in army and navy circles
of the difficulties that this led him
into. He had an unusual career. A
graduate of West Point, he resigned
from the army to take a professor.
ship in mathematics at the Naval
academy. Then, at the outbreak of
the civil war, he resigned from the
navy to go back to the army, even
tually attaining the rank of briga-
der general. The war over, he
again resigned from the army and
resumed his profcssorship at An
napolis. 1t WAS soon after his re-
turn to the Naval academy that an
incident happened which forms the
basis of one of the best stories told
about him.
Lockwood, who then held the
rank of captain in the naval service,
was out drilling some cadets one day
on the Naval academy grounds, and
in the course of the ev0lutions he
had Il company Of 100 embryo Off
GERS heading for the sea wall. The
captain, who stood behind the COM
pany, inte' ~ to have the boys APP
proarh <"'ia about six feet OF
the va, /,a.d then to be given the
order to "ri'.h wheel"
At the critical moment, however,
he foGnd TO his horror that his
tongue had become tied. In vain
he struggled 10 give the command.
Nearer and nearer the company ap-
preached tie sea wall, but for all
the captains tagging and choking
no! a word 'nuld he utter. The ca
diets nov were within few PAGES
of the water, and upon their faces
was irnA hat plainly said, "Ours
not tn rc,,.o" why; ours but to swim
or dc"
The captains face became pur-
pie. The klowledge that only a
short distar,c away Il group of his
brother officers was watching the
proceeding. did not tend to soothe
his a4i;alinn. In his desperation
he threw his dignity to the winds
and ran after the company Of young
heroes, crying, observation-disclosures
ah-halt"
1t was too late. The gallant band
had reached the edge of the seq
wall, and overheard it plunged
without seconds hesitation.
The water was only about three
feet deep at the foot Of the wall,
and in this the company stood at
attention, with ranks unbroken, 1t
having at last heard the command
to halt. A great shout of laughter
went up from the officers that had
been looking on, but the captain
he stood Oh the sea wall and, shak-
ing his fist at the wave washed
band, INDUCED in flow Of language
which proved that at times he could
talk just as fast as any other man.
There was justification for the cap
tain's anger at his men, for they
were all acquainted with his infirm-
ity and undoubtedly plunged over
board in spirit of deviltry.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean. e..

The Boule de Neige society of
France is an association with 600
branches in France and the colonies
and a membership Of 100000. It
is an institution for providing old
age pensions. The state grants AZ
per cent interest on the society's de-
posts and allows it a subsidy of
$4,000 francs a year, The society
guarantees Il maximum pension OF
800 francs ($72) to every member
on his reaching the age of fifty. A
workman who begins to pay his
small minimum contribution every
month from his twenty-tirst year is
assured of substantial pension at
an age which under healthy condi-
tons of existence would be little
removed beyond the prime of life.
The scheme in full working order
implies contributions of three kinds
contributions by the workman,
by his employer and by the state.
