Health VS.. Wealth.

When the billion dollar steel trust was
organized few years ago Charles M.
Schwab of Pittsburg, then 40 years old,
became the possessor of as many million
dollars as he had years and was put at
the head of the gigantic corporation. He
was heralded far and wide as captain
Of industry" and young men were taught
to emulate his example and incidentally
win fame and riches. Yet while the
steel trust prospered. the multi million.
aires health and fortune began to fail
and today he is physical if not a
financial wreck. His place at the head
Of the steel trust has been taken by
another, and the great ship combine Of
which he was president is insolvent.
Mr.. Schwabs part in the strenuous
life included a two million dollar palace in
New York, automobile races in Europe,
heavy losings at Monte Carlo and
various other luxuries and excuses.
Those of us who have health without
wealth have an asset which will be our
mainstay through life, though we may
never see our picture in that somewhat
.overestimated gallery of "the men who
do things"

SIN the midst of life we are in DEATH"
Just as Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers had said at the
banquet of the Brotherhood at Mil.
waukee, "Some of you will never hear
me again." he sank to the floor and
passed away. Mr.. Arthur was at the
head of one of the strongest and best
unions in the United States and was in.
variably opposed to strikes, the great
Burlington strike some 20 years ago
only being sanctioned after he had done
all in his power to prevent it. He had
been at the head of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers since 1876 and
was a harmonizer of great success and
power whenever difficulties arose be-
tween capital and labor.

Praise from Philippine Source.

elected the following high praise from
the Manila Times:

Philippines lose Commissioner Ide, vet
we are glad to notice that he is being
honored by mention as a candidate for

Vermont would be fortunate indeed in

One on President Tucker.

President Tucker of Dartmouth COLLEGE
is telling one on himself" Last sum-
mer he went to a Maine town for a short
rest and boarded with a farmer who
was in the habit of taking few summer
guests into his house to help Gift the
mortgage" Some time ago the presi-
dent received a letter from his former
landlady asking for his patronage during
the coming summer. There are several
little matters that l desire changed
should my family desire to pass the com
ing summer at your house." wrote Pres.
ident Tucker in reply. 1--WE don't like the
maid, Mary. Moreover, we don't think
sly so near the house is sanitary"
AND this is what he received in reply:
Mary has went. We hain't had no
hogs sense you went away last Septem.

THE BEST REASON
FOR BELIEF IN DIR. WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
Mira. Gosney Tells Why She Has Such
Great Confidence in this
Famous Remedy,


Great Confidence in this
Famous Remedy.
"For the best reason in the world, I"
answered Mrs. J. O. Gosney, of Pullman,
Wash, when asked why she praised DR..
Williams Pink Pills so highly.
"They cured me after three doctors
and all sorts of remedies had failed, 4"
she continued. az suffered horribly
with what the doctors called neuralgia
OF the stomach, and also was troubled
to an unusual extent with the ills which
only women experience. Every month
l had cramps which nearly drove me
wild and they were so bad sometimes
that my husband had to run for doctor
to give me something to relieve me.
Often they would keep me in bed for
days at a time and, just before I began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pate
People, my hands used to get numb when
l had these spells. I can't tell half of
what l went through. The natural
functions of my sex ceased and the spells
OF cramps kept growing more frequent.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills helped me the
first week I took them and after taking
them faithfully awhile longer I became
entirely cured"
Thousands of women have found re.
lief from their sufferings in the same
way that Mrs. Gosney did. No dis.
covery OF modern times has proved such
blessing to women as DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting di-
rectly on the blood and nerves, invigor.
atlng the body, regulating the functions.
they restore the strength and health in
the exhausted patient when every effort
OF the physician proves unavailing.
They have been shown to be a positive
and unfailing specific for all diseases
arising from disorders of the blood
or nerves and have cured locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after-effects of
the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations and all forms of
weakness either in male or female. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
sold by all dealers, or will be sent post
paid on receipt of price, fifty cents a
box; six boxes for two dollars and half.

Old Home Week.

Governor Mccullough is receiving
many letters asking him relative to Old
Home Week. The following letter from
the governor to a Windham county
gentleman explains how the case stands:
l have been on visitorial trip inspect
ing all the state institutions and hence
your letter of the 9Th inst, which ar
rived in my absence, has not been sooner
answered.
In reply to your inquiry, the resolution
OF the General Assembly fixes Old Home
Week as the calendar week which in.
cludes the 10th day of August" (the an
niversary OF the battle OF Bennington).
You will find the resolution and the
history of its passage through the two
houses on pages 1876, $50, 1856, 1874 and
1o6 OF the Senate Journal for the session
OF 1900, and on pages 201, 221 and 278
OF the House Journal for the session of
1900; which resolution, through some
inadvertence, was not published with the
laws OF Vermont for 1900. You will OBJ
serve the language of the resolution calls
for no action on the part of the executive.
This year the calendar week including
August ] 9th will be the week beginning
Sunday, August 16, and ending Saturday,
August %.
My immediate predecessor, who was
president OF the Old Home Week associa-
ton in whose favor an appropriation
was made by the act No. 1873 of the laws
OF 1900, issued notice or proclamation
in 1901 and last year, calling attention
to the tact that the General Assembly
had inaugurated an Old Home Week
thus familiarizing the people with the
event.
1t is left wholly discretionary with any
town or group of towns, to arrange ap.
propriate celebrations as indicated by
the language. Such celebrations might
be held different years in different Sec
tons. In order to emphasize and &C.
centuate the celebrations and make the
same more imposing and interesting and
not too burdensome, it may be thought
that if held every lustrum or decade, this
object would be more effectualy secured
than ii attempted annually.
However, this is matter of opinion,
and is lett entirely for the good people of |
the different towns to decide for them |
selves.
Wishing that your celebration may be
eminently successful, am yours very
truly. ]. G. MCCULLOUGH.

Pope Leo XIII.

Pope Leo succumbed to the ravages of
disease and passed away Monday after
noon at O'Clock. The news ofhis death
caused little excitement as it had been
expected he was in his last illness, but
the sorrow is universal. President
Roosevelt expressed the views oiall when
he dictated this statement to the Associ.
ated Press:
THE President expressed his profound
regret at the death OF the venerable pom.
tiff, whose long career no less than his
exalted character has commanded the re.
spect of all Chrstendom. The President
said that in utteriug these sentiments he
was giving expression to the feeling of all
the people in the United States, wholly
without regard to their religious faiths"

The recent financial depression affects
the rich men more than the lambs" 1t
has been a battle OF giants with the
Standard Oil crowd against the Morgan
crowd. That the millionaires are most
affected is evidenced by the fact that
many yachts are on the market this
summer, either for sale or to rent, and
there are fewer private cars attached to
limited trains en- route to the summer
resorts. In the meantime the average
mans income is just the same and the

A Strenuous Campaign.

During the past few weeks several of
the state newspapersh have made strenu-
Gus political campaign and won a great
victory. The journals in question entered
Senator Proctor tor reelection, fought
Tor him against rich, powerful, scheming,
INSCRIPTIONS opponents--none of whom
were known-and finally reelected him
by an overwhelming majority. The
prospects are that next year the people
will also re-elect him, without any fuss

in Washington.-[ Mortified News.

necessary for anyone connected with the

that it would be necessary for the
property to 60 into the hands of re-

sums of money which arc being expended
for new steel bridges OF the most sub

possible for bankrup: corporation to
