STRONG OLD AGE
AN OCTOGENARIAN WHO USES DIR.
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Mr.. Kindred Says They Cured His
Rheumatism and That They Give
Him Strength.

Mr.. Kindred Says They Cured His
Rheumatism and That They Give
Him Strength.
When old people are stricken with
disease every practitioner knows how
greatly the chances Of successful treat
ment are diminished by the natural dc.
bility due to advanced age. This fact
gives vital importance to the case of Mr..
Amos Kindred, Of No. So jacques ave.
nue., Worcester. Mass. who in his eighty
fourth year is enjoying good health and
attributes it largely to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Not only
does he use them as a tonic, purpose
for which they have no equal, but he
was cured by them of an acute disease,
as related In the following interview.
Mr.. Kindred says:
"Some time ago was sufferer from
inflammatory rheumatism. 1t was in
my hands, legs and back, and my flesh
was very sensitive. My hands were
badly swollen, but my back troubled mo
most and sometimes was so bad that
could hardly get about. Onco when
stopped over to pick up something,
found could MT straighten up. For
two weeks after that could not stand
up straight. 1t was terrible affliction
and neither doctors nor any medicines I
tried gave me any relief. I kept getting
worse aud my back grew SO bad that I
could not even turn over in bed without
help.
"Ther I tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. They fitted my
case exactly and cured me. I have had
no return of the rheumatism since then.
still take the pills occasionally, for a
person of my age requires tonic now
and then, and l find that nothing gives
me the strength that they do"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have double
action on the blood and on the nerves,
and have cured ng-standing cases of
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, st.
Vitus dance. sciatica, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, 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.

Colombian Annexation to Panama

The latest and in some respects the
most interesting development regarding
the attitude of Colombia toward Panama,
is the possibility of a proposition for tho
practical annexation OF Colombia to Pan
anna. General Reyes who is on his way
from Bogota to Washington is credited
with being empowered to suggest the re-
moval of the capital of Colombia to Pan
anna which would in effect mean the prac-
teal annexation of Colombia to the new
republic, which so recently seeded from
the former country. This would be case
Of the tail wagging the dog with a ver-
geance, inasmuch as Colombia exceeds
Panama as regards both territory and
population a number of times.
Color is given to this announcement by
the fact that ever since the Panama rev
olution was first announced the Colom-
bian authorities have been credited with
seeking peace with honor to their country
in dealing with Panama. This was the
claim put forward by the Colombian rep
resentatives who sought to gain an op-
ortunity to negotiate with the Panama
government and this is the avowed OBJ
ject of General Reyes now on his way
to our national capital The adoption of
This course would enable Colombia to
saddle some of her troublesome debts on
her new neighbor, and incidentally she
would participate in the distribution OF
the $40, OOD, go which the United States
proposes to allow Panama for the 18TH
milan canal concession.
While the union of Colombia and Pan
anna with the capital of the reunited
country at the city OF Panama might
enable Colombia to save her face, in the
estimation Of her statesmen, it is difficult
to sec what Panama would have to gain
from an absorption of this nature. 1t has
been conceded that while Panama has a
small population it represented the best
country in Colombia as well as con-
siderable share of the wealth and the
people of the new republic have nothing
10 gain from new division with their
neighhors,
II goes without saying that even though
the national capital were to be trans
ported from Bogota to Panama, the Col
| ombians would have no difficulty in out
voting the people of Panama in any rep,
resentative legislative body and they
could even move the capital back to Bo-
gotta after the division of the isthmiar
canal spols. The chances are. therefore
that Colombia will have to seek some
other way Of obtaining peace with honor
than by annexation to little Panama.

of appreciation of the handsome manner
in which Senator Proctor has sought TO
promote his advancement in every posi-
bic way since he entered the United States
Senate, and this appreciation extends to
the intimate friends of Senator Dilling-
ham as well as others. This condition of
affairs also affords a striking contrast
to those prevailing in many other States
whose United States senators are at
swords points politically to a degree
that is manifest though naturally conceal
ed in moro or less successful manner
Our senators pulling together have been
able to accomplish much for the State,
and there is every reason to believe that
these gratifying relations between them
will continue.
Whether or not Senator Dillingham; de-
sires this honor is not known so far as
we are aware, but it is to be taken for
granted that he would not refuse to serve
his State in the capacity indicated, If
called to a Craftsmanship of the delegation.
1t goes without saying that he would
perform the duties of chairman of the
ermont delegation with credit 10 MINI
self as we'll as to his state. lie Is recog-
nized as an eloquent and forceful as well
as pleasing speaker. He is possessed of
marked qualities of tact and diplomacy as
well as of political generalship; and. II
he is chosen for the position of chairman
by the representatives of the people of
Vermont, the State will have just reason
to be proud of it's spokesman in the next
republican national convention.

The Vice-Presidential Nomination

The denomination of President Roose-
llcan politicians are turning their atten-
ton to the question of the selection OF a
proper running mate for him, The sug-
gestion has been made that no better Sc
lection could be reached for second place
on the republican national ticket than To
nominate United States Senator NJ. A.
Hanna of Ohio; and there are good argu-
ments for this choice, 1t is generally rec
ognized that Senator Hanna has elements
of strength which would make him a
strong candidate for either position. and
the elements of popularity he possesses
would not deteriorate in the event of his
nomination for the vice-presidency. lie
has the confidence of the labor interests
for which he has worked so assidu,
ously, as well as of the heav,
capitalists with whom he is init.
mately associated. He is recognized
as one OF the most effective campaigners
in the country, as we'll as an able and far,
seeing statesman; and his NOMINATION
would unquestionably add strength to tn,
Roosevelt ticket
The chances are that Senator Hanna
would seriously object to a nomination
for second place on the national tickle
with Roosevelt: but that of Itself is NJ
reason why he should not be drafted 70,
that position. Mr., Roosevelt seriousl,
objected to being nominated for the vice

After a short respite the promoters of a
trading stamp of color different from
that first introduced come along aud play
another set Of singles with dealers who
have been wondering whether they did
tago of the first opportunity. After
short interval q trading stamp of still
another color makes it's appearance in
the community, and this process is re-
reated until practically all dealers in the
community find themselves furnishing
traditional Joseph's coat.
When all dealers are doing this same
thing, they are on equal terms Just as
they were before the trading stamp YAM
pire made its appearance. and what is
the result? The trading stamp concerns
community. and inasmuch as it has been
discovered to be impossible to get some
thing for nothing, 1t follows as a matter
of course that somebody is paying for
these goods which are alleged to be ptac-
tically given away. 1t the merchants and
other dealers themselves pay the freight.
they must devise some way of getting
back this money, and they must either
advance prices or sell an inferior quality
of goods for the prices charged before.
In either event the price of the goods
given away for trading stamps comes
eventually out of the customer, and when
this fact is discovered, as sooner or later
will inevitably be the result there is dis
satisfaction and possibly change of pat
ronage. Re this as it may in the end the
volume of trade is no larger than before
for the merchants of any community as
whole and the money paid to the trad
ing stamp companies is practically money
thrown away so far as either mercha nts
or customers are concerned. If our people
are wise, therefore. they will do every
thing legitimate to discourage the intro
duction of the trading stamp in Burling-
ton, and the same thing is true of other
cities and towns in Vermont.

presidency at the Philadelphia conven-
ton. but that did not prevent the repub-
leans from forcing his selection for that
place. He was put in a position where
he could not refuse to accept the honor,
without appearing to fly in the face of his
party; and it is safe to say that If Sena-
tor Hanna were nominated, he would fully
realize that he could not afford to refuse
to serve his party In that capacity.
There are some men high in the national
councils OF the Republican party who in
sist that United States Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana, who, by the way, is not a
stranger to Burlington republicans. is the
natural and logical candidate for secord
place with Roosevelt. The Indiana sena-
tor IS said to be the accepted candidate
of the old Mckinley element in the party.
and inasmuch as it is this element that
the close friends of President Roosevelt
arc anxious to conciliatc, it would not
surprise many people. If he were to DO
nominated. There is a report abroad to
the Craftsmanship OF the national commit
tee. he will be permitted to name the
party's candidate for the vice presidency
and Inasmuch as the relations between
Hanna and Fairbanks have always been
extremely cordial, it is not impossible that
the former might be able to persuade the
Indiana senator to accept second place.
While Senator Fairbanks is not so we'll
known as Senator Hanna throughout the
country in general he would appeal To-
the same conservative interests as would
be reached by the nomination of the ONO
senator, and it goes without saying that
any ticket
Inasmuch as the West is solid for
Roosevelt, the chances are that the re-
publican candidate for the vice
presidency will not be taken from
any State west of the Missis-
ippi river, but will be selected
from the statesmen representing what
have come to be recognized as the great
middle Western States. Indiana was for
merly regarded as one of the doubtful
States. and the nomination of Fairbanks
would take it out of the doubtful column
and place it in the list of surely republi.
can commonwealth in 1904 1t is some
what early yet. however, to pick out a
winner for second place particularly as
1t is impossible to tell what may happen
in the course OF ten months or year.

Craftsmanship OF Vermonts Delega'

Our special correspondence from Wash
ington contains the announcement that
Senator Proctor whose name has naturally
suggested itself in connection with the
Craftsmanship of Vermonts delegation to
the next national convention In view Of
prestige won under his leadership in for
mer conventions, has expressed the opin-
ion that the honor should be awarded to
some one else next year, and he has sug-
rested that Senator William i. Dilling-
ham would be a good selection for the
position.
This announcement is worthy of espe-
cial note on more accounts than one,
In the first place it shows that Senator
Proctor has too good an idea OF the ut
ness of things to persist in accepting this
position as he has been urged to do by
many admirers, and thus following the
example set by some Of our neighborins

the last ten years strenuous efforts have
been made by all loyal Nermoutcrs to

quite noticeable and are most valuable
adjunct to the hotels and numerous pri-
waite families who entertain summer
boarders.
While this most landable effort is having
good effect. why not try to induce capital
to invest in some OF our large granite
and marble industries as well as many
other profitable features in which our
State abounds. How can this be better
