He had been talking to Goshen on the

NJ. L. POWELL's ARGUMENT

Attorney MAX IL. fOWell OF burlington
made the opening argument for the plain
tiff. He had not entirely finished wneu
an adjournment was taken for the DAY at
$50 o'clock. Mr.. Powell said the case was
of small compass, there being only two
questions for the Jury to decide The first
is whether or not the defendant used the
words or substantially the words as al
legged by the plaintiff. The second is the
question of damages AS proof of the use
of the words alleged Mr.. Powell said he
had put the defendant on the witness
stand and Mr. Clement had said that when
he dictated to his stenographer the man
uscript prepared for his Brandon speech
Il was what he had in mind. This, the
attorney considered equivalent to Mr.
Clement, confessing the utterance OF the
words because if the candidate for gov
ernor did nothing but sit and dictate to a
stenographer the words In question he
could be adtudged guilty of Islander. And
the manuscript showed that he had die
tated that the plaintiff was murderer.
Mr.. Clement had stated that he had not
changed his views after the dictation and
thus Attorney Powell thought it fair to
presume the slanderous words had been
used In nearly all Of the 30 speeches
As to damages, the attorney said IL
proof was shown that the plaintiff suf-
fered from the defendants words he
should have verdict. He stated that the
law says It Is not necessary to show any
malice but II 1t is proved that one man
has called another a murderer the law
presumes there are damages.
At this point Mr., Powell read a lot of
letters from States Attorney Tarbell to
the Faxon agency. showing reasons why
Wilson came to Vermont. The gist of the
letters was that Mr. Tarbell wanted a
clean man and none other TO ferret out a
burglary and obtain evidence against
Illicit liquor sellers.

HONOR THEM ALL.

In connection with the decision to

onel Wallace in the capitol at Helena
the suggestion has been offered that
a o graceful thing would be to
make the memorial one to all the
brave men whom Montana sent to the
front at the country's call for defend
ers. The suggestion is a good one
and it is to be regretted that some
n did not think of the other men
who served equally as we'll and as
heroically as did the dead officer
whose memory a state wishes to per-
petuate. Other states, while they
may often single out some particular
officer whose memory they want to
honor, have monuments, tablets or

in which to pay tribute to the fallen
ones of less exalted rank, but who
nevertheless did their duty and in
their humble way added to the success

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
Of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great Iescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness ito Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatched from

not to be less honored than the more
fortunate ones whose destiny placed
them in a position where they COM

The private is as much entitled to re-
spect as the officer even though GUS

above him whom he must obey and a

obedience, his willingness to risk and

there would be no regiments. The
volunteer private who dies on the
field of battle or loses his life as the
result of service done is as much of
a hero as the officer who directed him,
and this without any desire to detract
from the memory of the valorous man
to whom it has been decided to pay
