The New York State department of
labor offers new explanation of the
prevailing scarcity OF household SER
wants, in its quarterly bulletin just
issued. Prosperity is so widely
diffused," says the bulletin, that
the servant keeping class is larger
than ever before, and has thus created
a demand that exceeds the supply"
This explanation 10 based in part on
the quarterly report of the superin-
tendent of the State free employment
bureau in New York city. who states
that at no time during the quarter
was he able to meet the demands for
domestic help. The problem seems
to be knotty one everywhere, and
while the theory advanced by the de-
partment of labor will bring little
comfort to those in need, it is crafty
ing to know that the difficulties are
due to nothing more disastrous than
prosperity.

YER MONT FURS AND FUR
MENTS.

The line of furs and fur garments
made and sold by the Spear Martin
Fur company, Burlington, VT, is now
ready for inspection. They have
spared no pains to make it the best
ever carried, both in completeness and
up-to-dateness and feel sure it is not
equalled by any stock in Vermont.
Nor is this all their prices are from
10 to 20 per cent cheaper than those
asked by other dealers even in the
large cities. Not only are the Spear
Martin furs cheaper considering the
quality offered, they are better made
by far than most furs.
This is SO because they manufac-
ture them themselves. Their shop
is light, clean and equipped with all
modern appliance You are perfectly
safe in wearing Spear. Martin"
made furs. No sweat shop goods are
handled by them. If you contem
plate buying anything in furs, you
cannot afford to miss their superb
showing. When in Burlington call
and see for yourself. Their goods and
prices are more convincing than any
thing that can be said.

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
pratte and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, il we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of ill health and suffering
We. often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch.
ngs of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken TO restore perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
BUS by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paines Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.

FOREIGN.

Berlin, Germany, Oct. 6.-The
worlds speed record has again been
broken on an electric railway near
Berlin. A ninety-fve ton car carry
ing twenty persons today made a
speed rate of 1875 miles an hour over a
twenty three mile track. Experts
say the experiments have proven the
safety and practicability of an electric
railway over which cars can be run at
a normal speed of ninety-five miles
an hour. The sole disadvantage of
the road would be the double fares
which would be necessary to cover
the increased cost.

A TASTE OF THE REAL THING.

The Boston Post is authority for the
statement that the banquet given to
the Honorable Artillery Company of
London at Boston the other night cost
$50, 600, or SO plate. If the Posts
source of information is as reliable as
that from which its reports of the
search for Adelbert Martin were
CLEANED, its readers cannot know
whether the banquet cost $40 plate
or was merely free lunch at some
south side saloon. The Mortified
News speaking of distorted report
of very simple affair says
"With all the rest, Mortified bad a
touch of yellow journalism in its
most hideous form last week in con-
nection with the Martin assault case.
A special representative of the Boston
Post was sent here and for two days
filled his space in the Post with the
most outrageous misrepresentation
possible to fertile mind experienced
in dreams The correspondent or
more properly speaking the novelist,
told of the fugitive Martin being sur
rounded in a corn field which was set
ON fire to drive him out and how final
ly the desperate broke through the
ranks of the officers, farmers and citi-
zens generally Of two counties aid
made his escape. The next day the
Post man evidently had another try
coming to him and he put Martin on
a hill above the crowd and officers and
set him to hurting stones and defiance
at them; then when the officers start
ed up the hill Martin brought his
trusty rifle to bear on them: one shot
grazed Constable Hutchinson's cheek
and the next one knocked the big spy
glass out of his hand. Then shots
rang from all directions and the regu-
lation nickel library paragraph was
rung in
&c With cry like that of wounded
beast, Martin turned for a moment
upon his pursuers, his left arm hang
ing helplessly by his side; then with
horrible oath he took once more to
his heels, and before any of the party
were again able to draw a bead on
HIM he had scuttled into the thicket. ,
"There was not even the slightest
thing upon which to build such sem
sational story. 1t was drawn solely
from the imagination of the CORE
spondent and it seems pretty evident
that he was sent to Mortified by his
managing editor to get good story, ,
regardless of facts. OF course news
papers may be deceived by rumors
which they have not time to investi-
gate before they are published, but a
| journal which stands for downright
deception is entitled to no respect
whatever. The management of such
dirty journalism as the Post practiced
in Mortified belongs to the same class
as the groceryman who sells sand for
sugar or sawdust for cornmeal."
