German Aerarians Make an Unwsr-

Count Won Buelow is confronted with
serious indictment. The chancellor
has invited the enmity of the agrarian
and agricultural classes by his tariff
attitude. Numerous mass meetings have
been held in the agricultural districts
protesting against the policy of the
chancellor.
At one Of these gatherings a heated
discussion arose, when a prominent
member made the charge that Count
Won Buelow's pet poodle was Of English
birth and breeding, and was shoru ac-
cording to the hated English style,
whatever that may be.
"He is unlike our Bismarck" ex-
claimed a speaker. Bismarck owned
a true blue German hound. We see
the difference between the men in the
breed Of their dogs"
When Count Won Buelow heard the

Dear BILL have a scheme. DO you
want to go snucks? You know those
little pink flowers folks go daffy over
in spring? Well. Sis says there's heaps
growing round here. Trailing arbutus
they call It. / thought 1t would be
good plan for me TO get few bushels
for you to sell. Sis says she'll help,
only she won't believe I'll get bushels.
But will, though. Say, there's a boy
sits right across the aisle from me who
plays hockey every spring and fall.
Goes OF in the woods and stays a
week or two hunting and fishing. No
body ever can find him. He shoots
deer, rabbits, squirrels and things and
has dandy times fishing. He has a
camp kit hid somewhere. nobody
knows, and just goes when the fit
comes on. When he comes back, he's
good as pie the rest OF the year. He's
looking out Of the window now. Won

My Dear Genevieve-The first warm

my veins as it Is through the arteries
OF the great trees around us. l am so
much better, the doctor says. we may
not have to spend another year among

miss them when we go. Just now they
are putting out tender green fingers
which point lovingly at the spring sun.
Here and there great patches of adder
tongues flaunt their brilliant yellow as
one passes.
And, oh, Genevieve, the arbutus will
be out next week. Grosvenor wants
me TO help him gather II for sale. You
can guess how like sacrllege It seems
to sell them, yet there may be a pleas
ure In sending the beautiful bits Of
fragrance to brighten other peoples
lives as they once did mine. / am
learning to pick up the little bits Of
pleasure trying to forget that l ever
presumed to long for great happiness.

yourself and what people are doing in

and tell you I'm glad you froze that
Smith boy out Don't suppose his
flowers were as nice as ours anyway.
Course he knew you could lick him, but
most likely he sold out because he's too
lazy TO do the work. Sis said 1t want
right TO cocrce him to sell out TO you.
Ma didn't say anything then, though
she looked funny. | heard her tell Sis
afterward that she believed every boy
was a primitive man and that it was
only by slow evolushun that he became
a gentleman. After awhile she talked
TO me in her room. II that Smith kid

might let him, but chase him out of

Mrs. e. M. CalIaudet.

The following tribute TO Mrs. e. NJ.
Gallaudet, who had many friends in
Royalton, was written by A. X. Spofford
for the Washington Post OF Saturday.
"To numberless residents of Washing
ton the intelligence OF the death OF Susan
Denison Gallaudet, wife Of President
Gallaudet of the deaf-mute college at Ken
dali Green, came with a shock OF sincere
grief. Her long residence In Washington.
her rare personal charm and her generous
hospitality made her welcome in the best
circles. Mrs. Gallaudet was a native Of
Royalton, VT, and was a cousin of Chief
Justice Chase and OF Hon. Horace
Maynard. Hon. Dudley Chase, United
States Senator from Vermont, was her
grand uncle. The family she has left

manufacturing establishment at Dayton,
Ohio, and Herbert D., about 10 enter upon
the ministry IN North Carolina.
"Now that this gifted lady has departed
from her bereaved family and left the
large circle Of her friends and admirers to
mourn her loss, the best consolation that
remains 10 all Is the memory OF a life
singularly beautiful and devoted. Mrs
Gallaudet carried about with her the sun
shine Of a winsome personality. She was
one OF those blithe spirits whose mission
il seems TO be to cheer the dull monotony
OF this work day world. Many a de-
spondent soul has been reused to renewed
hope and courage by her pleasant smile
and hearty, sympathetic speech. Her
care and consideration for others, her
many charities, her eyer-lively interest in
her friends made her a general favorite.
Her unfailing tact and good judgment
were among her shining qualities. She
had a jealous interest in literature, and to
read the best books was one OF her chief
solaces and delights. Much care was
taken by her in the collection OF a large
and select private library, in which her
refined taste was well illustrated.
"With her happy temperament, the last
hours on earth were soothed by the care
and solicitude and sympathy OF relatives
and friends, all of whom feelingly deplore
her loss, while they recognize that such
life was a benefit and benediction.
