Congressman Fosters Spur.

The following interesting story con
corning one OF our Vermont congressman
is going the rounds OF the press
Congressman Foster Of Vermont was
reared on farm in the village Of Barnet,
His opportunities for work were many,
his pastimes few. lie was always glad
to be sent on errands, for that meant
long bareback ride on Old Ned. Out Of
sight Of the farmhouse he would do his
best to speed the old horse, but long ser
vice ahead Of the pIow had not fitted
Ned to give a race-track performance.
He would plod along, and the alder
switch which Delabored his tanks brought
no heetness to his hOofs. SO young Fos-
ter besought his father the privilege OF
wearing a pair OF old-tashioned spurs
which had not touched horse flesh for
years,
81 don't mind said the old farmer,
taking one OF the spurs from it's resting
place. Put it on"
Put want both Of them persisted
the boy.
mo, you don't replied the father
If you can get one side Of that old horse
to move you needn't worry about th,
other side keeping up.

The License Bill Locally.

The state has adopted the high license
local.option bill for the next two years,
and at the coming March meeting every
town will decide for itself whether it will
have the open saloon or not. The declar-
alton, in another column, OF well-kno wn
St. Johnsbury citizens, is worthy the
careful attention of every voter. 1t is a
representative list OF the business and
professional men of St Johnsbury, men
who are opposed to the open saloon, but
are willing and ready to have liquor sold
for its proper purpose as provided in the
recently adopted license act. We do not
want the open saloon in this town, and
temperance men who vote for it to show
the people the fallacy OF it must remem-
Der that if the saloon is once established
in St. Tohnsbury it will be very difficult
thing to abolish. Another iallacious ar
gumeut is that st. Johnsbury might bet
ter have high license as well as to have
it all about US, on the plea that II we
have to take care of all the DRINKS and
paupers we may as well get what benefit
there is from it. These people forget that
the increase in this class with the open
saloon will be so much greater that any
benefit accrung will be more than offset
BY increased taxes. We trust the vote
against the open saloon, at the March
meeting. will be even more decisive than
on Feb. 3. Caledonia county was solid
against it then and ought to be on
March 3.

When Sandow poses and the muscles
ridge his back and knot his arms, we
think we have before us the very secret
of strength in those magnificent muscles.
But we haven't. Starve Sandow, or,
what is practically the same thing, let
him be dyspeptic, and his muscle would
soon fail. Strength is made from food
properly digested and assimilated, and
no man is stronger than his stomach, be-
cause when the stomach is diseased dl-
gestion and assimilation are imperfect.

tour.
The Rev. Mr.. Ufford arrived here on
the Hongkong Maru and will remain in
Honolulu until the arrival of the Pc
king next Tuesday when he will con-
tinue his trip to the Orient. Speaking
of his travels the other evening he
said:
81 left my home in HoIyoke last Oc-

Speaking of Honolulu he said: 'It

beauty of the lawns and dooryards.
The people are very lleasant and
agreeable. and the hospitality and good

LIFE LINE MEETING
LAST EVENING

A full house of interested auditors
Christian church last night to hear him
tell the story of how he came to write
the spirited song, Throw Out the Life
Line" that has touched so many hearts
all over the world. After an opening
prayer by Rev. o. A Gulick the speak
er was introduced to the audience by
Pastor E. s. Muckley in brief speech
in which he made reference to the
song as one that calls to mind the great
facts Of the Gospel. He also read from
the 22nd to the 33rd verses of the
18th Chapter of Matthew, the account
of Christ's walking on The water dur
ing the tempest, as predatory to the
talk which was to follow.
In beginning his address Mr.. .Ufford
made a pleasing reference to the beau
ties of the Honolulu climate and seem
cry, and said he had wanted to visit
this country from his boyhood He had
started on this journey around the
world without means, for he had none.
because he wanted to test the promises
of the Lord.
In the United States there are 272
life saving station he said, and which
are conceded by other nations to be
the best in the world. The men of
these stations are constantly on the
watch to save life when storms are
raging on the coast; and when a ship

when they are going to send out the

The speaker then gave a graphic de-
scription Of how the crew are drawn !
ashore and saved by the life line liken- |
ing it to the rescuing OF men in tempta- |
ton by the Gospel life line. Here the /
speaker stopped in his discourse to sing |
the song, the audience joining heartily 4
in the chorus at his request.
Mr.. Ufford said that his mind had /
always run on nautical things and it I
was this fact that enabled him, during
an evangelistic effort when inspired by
the sight Of the faces Of men on whose
orows sin was stamping. to write the
words Of the song in fifteen minutes
and the music in a few more. He used

getting his royalty in the good the song

WANT BETTER ACCOMMODATIONS
Members of the Legislature Complain
of Railway Service & A. and
Wabash Do Not Connect
in Mexico.

JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 1G,-Twelye
members of the General Assembly
met a few days ago and decided that
unless they could get better railroad
accommodations to their homes In
north Missouri, they would ''start
something" Senator W~hitecotton was
one of the number.
Most of these members leave Jefer'
son City by the Chicago& Alton, which
takes them to Mexico, where the Wa
bash connects. Under the present
system the Chicago & Alton reaches
Mexico about half an hour after the
Wabash leaves, thus compelling the
members to make a long wait.
A message was sent to the general
superintendent of the Alton, asking
him to see that the connection was
made in Mexico early enough for the
members to catch the Wabash. A tel
egram was sent back informing the
members that they could not be ac-
commodated. Now the proposition is
on foot to pass a law compelling com
peting railroads which pass through a
common point TO run on a schedule
permitting quicker transfer.
''Some of the railroads now play
just such tricks as the Alton is giving
us in Mexico said one of the diSsatiS-
fed members. 1T is done simply to
keep business. l think there are
enough Of the members who see the
operation of the Alton branch from
Jefferson City to Mexico to make
things interesting iu a perfectly legit-
innate way
