The Louisiana Purchase and the Rise
of the United States.

The international effects of the Louis
lana Purchase were even more signineant
than its political effect. From it dates
the end OF the struggle tor the possess
ion of the Mississippi Valley and the
beginning of the transfer of the asc nd.
ency in both Americas to the United
States. Even the English veterans OF
the Napoleonic battles were unable to
wrest New Orleans from Andrew Jack
son in the war of 1912. The acquisition
of Florida, Texas, California, and the
possessions won by the United States IN
the recent Spanish-American war are IN
a sense the corrollaries of this great
event. France, England, and Spain,
removed from the strategic points on
our border, were prevented from occu'
pying the controlling position in deter
mining the destiny OF the American prov
inces which so soon revolted from the
empire of Spain. The Monroe Doctrine
would not have been possible except tor
the Louisiana Purchase. 1t was the
logical outcome of that acquisition.
Having taken her decisive stride across
the Mississippi. the United States en-.
larged the horizon of her views and
marched steadily forward to the possess
ion of the Pacific Ocean. From this event
dates the rise of the United States into
the position of world power From

The Value of Our Fish.

1t will not take many years to dem
onstrate to the people OF Vermont the
value of artificial propagation of fish.
Streams and ponds are being stocked
with trout from the state hatchery at
at st. Tohnsbury, and many individuals
are stocking waters with Try they have
purchased from private hatcheres, thus
securing valuable privileges under the
law and deriving an income from the
fishing privileges of the waters they con-
troll. The pike hatchery at Swanton is
putting out fry by the million and max
ing many waters valuable fishing
grounds. All this will have its effect on
public sentiment in the end and eventual
ly the fishing interests OF the state will
be better cared for by the legislature
than at present. Montpelier Argus.

Worth Thinking About.
The St. Iohnsbury papers seem not at
all disappointed that St. Johnsbury is
not to be city. There was an appar.
ent desire for city charter last fall, that
warranted asking the legislature Tor one

from st. Johnsbury and other member;

people. Why not define in the genera
statutes the qualifications for a city anc

OF waiting Tor the legislature to grant

Col. Woodruff to be Benefited.

Army officers are very much interested
in the vacancies that will be created
within the next three months in the
grade OF major and igadier.general.
July 26 Maj. Gen. George W. Davis, now
in command of the forces in the Philip
pines, will reach the retiring age, and on
August S Lieutenant. General Miles will
retire. Following the ordinary methods
OF promotion and recognizing seniority,
Brig. Samuel S. Sumner, the ranking
brigader, will succeed Major. General.
Davis, and Brigadier. General Wood will
be advanced to the grade of major.gen.
eral, Young succeeding Miles in the
rank OF lieutenant general. There is an
understanding, however, that the Presi.
dent will utilize these two retirements
for the purpose OF advancing and retiring
several mertorious and veteran officers
to the grade of brigadier general. Col

The friends of government control of
public utilities are watching the expert
ment in Chicago with much interest. The
Union Traction Company is in the hands
of receivers, under direction of the United
States court, and Judge Grosscup is CIV
ing his personal attention to managing
the road. More cars are run during the
rush hours, all free passes have been
called in and other economies ordered
which will reduce the operating expenses
$4,000 a year. In this case govern
ment control has beat private control
and the public get better service besides.

The Country Doctor.

In worthy tribute which the Brattle'
boro Phoenix pays to the late DR.. Con-
land of that town it pays an equally wor-
thy tribute to the average country doc
tor when it says:
In this day of the praise of specialists
let us not forget the helpful, self'sacrihc-
ing and noble work which the all-around
country physician is doing. Day and
night he must hold himself ready to go
forth in all conditions of weather, ire-
quenty for long. trying drives over the
hills, to answer the calls for help. Giving
words of counsel and sympathy, allevi'
ating suffering, made repository for
family secrets, seeing the seamy side of
life, struggling with the problem of life
and death, the reward of the country
doctor from financial standpoint is not
commensurate with his labor.

Guinea was witnessed by missionary,
the Rev. James Chalmers. Service was

q native boy came in dressed with
what he considered great magnificence.

toned to go nearly naked, this garment
made the boy very conspicuous.
The shirt had once belonged to some
white man, and the Importance 1t gave

But when his glory was at its height a
bigger boy appeared, hot with rage and

Miilionaires' Poor Stomach.

The worn-out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as horrible example of
the evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion is
far greater among the toiers. Dys-
pepsia and indigestion are rampant
among these people, and they suffer far
worse tortures than the millionaire un
less they avail themselves of a stand
ard medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty five years. Au-

thus creating appetite and insuricg

Her Last Breath.

l heard a story the other day which
is probably as old as the hills, though
! never had the luck to hear 1t before.
1t was of q somewhat lengthy railway
tourney In very warm weather. An
elderly lady. seated in one corner of
the carriage, was provided with an in
dia rubber cushion for her greater COM
fort, but unfortunately, owing to the
heat and continued pressure, the cush-
ion suddenly exploded. The old lady
was in despair, even to tears, over the
misfortune to the wind bag, and again
and again reverted to her misfortune.
"Tut, woman" said commercial
traveller in another corner of the car
riage, ITS not worth making a fuss
about You will get 1t repaired in town
for about 1S pence" ITS no that I'm
vexed aboot-it's mo- the price. That's
easy sorted. But the last time that bag
was blawn up it wis by Aunty Jean,

How The Editor Got Even.

A business man in an Oklahoma town
got mad at the editor of a local paper
about something which appeared in
the paper, and notified the editor that
he would in future have his printing
done at lob Office where they didn't
have paper to roast everybody. He
thought, of course, the paper would
have to quit business, but it kept on
going.
In about two months the mans
daughter was married and they had a
big blow out, but not line appeared
in the paper. Later on his wife gave a
big reception to some visitors, but not
a line appeared in the paper.
Later on the mans youngest child
died, but not a line appeared in the
paper. The next fall mass meeting
was held in town to see about some
public improvements and this business
man made big speech. The meeting
was written up in full except this mans
speech. This was skipped. Then
the business man called and asked the
editor what he had it in for him
about. "You got mad last year, if you
remember, and said you were going to
have your work done at the job print
ing office, so thought I'd just let your
job printer print the account of your
daughters wedding, your wife's recep-
tion, your child's obituary and your
speech. enid, Kan. Events.

A Remarkable Case.

One of the most remarkable cases Of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing
pneumania, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.
Fenner, Marion Ind, who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. She says: "The coughing and
straining so weakened me that | ran
down in weight from 148 to 81 pounds.
| tried number of remedies to no avail
until | used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
cured me entirely of the cough, strength
ened my lungs and restored me to my
normal weight, health and strength" "
