GRAY FOX KILLED IN SYNDICATE.

Early Wednesday morning n couple of
Sandgatc hunters started Il fox while out
looking for other game 1t ran through
several door yards in that village, then
made oyer toward what is known as Sun
dcrland hill. AS the fox went through one
of tho yards 1t was seen by shepard dog
who took for it, and captured and killed
1t before amy of the hunters came up. 1t
proved to be a fine specimen of n gray
fox, II species seldom found in this section.
AS it passed by the different places every
man seized his gun ana started on the
trial. so that when it was captured there
were fifteen men and six dogs in pur-
suit OF it. The man who owned the dog
secured possession of the fox.
A LITTLE WAIF BECOMES INSANE.

lie was bright handsome boy of much
promise. Some three years ago he seemed
to be suffering from nervous trouble and
was sent to Burlington for treatment. He
returned much better, but for several
months past his mind has been unbalanc-

sane so that he had to betaken to Brattle-

whether his malady is hereditary, and it

TIE SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF YER
MONT BY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

Q'rom the Montpelier Journal)
The Monday Evening club up in East
berkshire has hit upon an idea that SINH
lar organizations in every part Of the
state might initiate with profit. This club
has taken up systematic study of YER
mont and AT a meeting held this week the
programme included such topics as. Yer
mont Politics." Vermont Industries and
Institutions" Current Events" John G.
SAKE, etc. The evening was varied by
readings from "Danvis Folks and Saxo's
poems. Such programme as this con-
tans much that is interesting and valu-
able to n Ncrmontcr TOO many of our
literary, and kindred clubs delvo deep
into the lore of other ages, and in fancy
wander about the stone heaps of Egypt
or sail the streets of Venice with the
picturesque Sondolior, forgetting all the
while that Vermont has Il remarkably
fascinating history and Il present that is
fun of interest Vermont has produced
or nourished scores of men and women
whose lives are entirely worthy of study,
and there is scarcely II rood of ground
in the whole state that does not bear
some interesting connection with her his
tory. Green Mountain boys and girls of
all ages would find 1t helpful to be fami-
liar with those things, and how much
more sensible it would be, and how much
more genuine profit would be derived, if.
before exploring fields that can be reach
ed only by the imagination Nermonters
would take a few little journeys nearer
home.

THE LICENSE BILL LOCALLY.
(Nrom the ST. Johnsbury Caledonian)
The State has adopted the high license

IN FEDERAL COURT
Judge Cochran Files Away All the
Indictments In Breathitt
Election Cases.

The indictment pending In the
United States District Court at
Frankfort against Charles Terry
and others, growing out of alleged
frauds in Breathitt county election
of two years ago, were called Tor
trial before Judge Cochran and he
ordered all the indictment fled
away on motion of the District A.
torney. The calling of these cases
for trial at this term OF court
brought to Frankfort dozens of the
Breathitt county factionists, many
of them heavily armed, it is said,
and some fear that they might
clash while in attendance at court.
A trial of the cases would have
served to intensity the feeling be-
tween the factions in Breathitt,
and would probably cause more
bloodshed in that county.

Ever Have the Blues?
Then Try This Cure.

Administering to the suffering
of others is declared to be the best
cure fcr ministerial blues, by
Rev. Charles E. Walker, of Hart
well, who read a paper before the
Presbyterian Ministers Associa
tlon.
Rev. Walker said: cit is sup
posed by some that only dyspeptics
are attacked by this malady, dis
ease, complaint, or whatever you
may cali it, and also supposed that
all dyspeptics have the blues. It's
a mistake. Others than dyspeptics
look at the world through blue
spectacles and some dyspeptics L
know are able to see the world
through very clear lenses. We
like blue in prose; we like it in the
sky, and it's a good color for a gar
ment, but not for a person. A
blue man is not an agreeable COM
panion to either himself or his as
sociates.
eff trouble comes and things in
this life seem to be against us, we
are easily displeased and are soon
ready, Jonah-like, to cry out Take,
I beseech thee, this, my life from
me, for it is better for me to die
than to live In this command l
find a most excellent cure for the
blues: Arise, go, and do In
stead of sitting at home to think of
the hardness of your lot, go where
there is suffering and sorrow,
where there is want, and minister
to those in need, and l feel conf
dent your own worst case of blues
will be quickly cured"

BIG PLANT
will Be Erected to Manufacture a
New Cement and Plaster.

The Eagle Cement and Wall
Plaster Company was Incorporated
at Columbus, Ohio. The plant for
the manufacture of this new cement
will be established at Ludlow as
soon as officers can be elected and
preliminary details of the huge
business proposition can. be ar
ranged.
This new cement and plaster is
said to be an innovation on the
marhet. and Will mean complete
revolution in these two products.
1t is the result of two years of hard
work by the inventor, Mr.. A. G.
Schultz, travelling salesman OF
Detroit, and Mr.. George Ficke,
Superintendent of the Moerlein
Bottling Department. Mr.. Schultz,
a friend of Mr.. Ficke, consulted
with Mr.. Ficke two years ago and
since that time the two perfected
the invention and had it duly
patented. Then they formed a
company, comprising, besides them
selves, Mr.. Louis Hauck, of the
Hauck Brewery, and Mr., J. George
Jung, who is at the head eff the
Moerlein interests; Frederick Will
helm, as the practical man, and
George Zelda These gentlemen
will push the manufacture of the
new mortar. Options have been
taken on the Ludlow site, and
things are nearly in readiness for
the beginning of the new plant,
which will employ hundreds of
workmen. The corporation is cap
italized at $4,000.
A number of contractors have
tested both the cement and the
plaster, and are waiting for its
manufacture to have their orders
filed. The enterprise is said to be
one of the biggest in prospect in
recent yeers.

Lack Of Foreign Tongues.

A serious defect in the education
of most American women is their
failure to acquire in their youth
conversational facility in other lam
guages than their own. Many
girls include a foreign tongue or
two in the list of their studies, but
it is simply eye skill that they Sc
cure, ability to read and write the
language with varying degrees of
excellence. When the ear test
comes it is the exception when they
are not almost helpless. An En-
glish girl is not considered educat-
ed until she is fluent in at least
one other than her native Lam
guage, and she often speaks two or
three easily. A trip abroad illus
trates and emphasizes the fact that
Americans are very provincial in
the matter oflanguages. In a group
of foreigners taken at random, Ger
man, French and Italian, together
with English, one of the hardest
tongues to learn, will be heard
INTERCHANGEABLE among its mem
bers; it is not until an American
joins the group that the talk,
through courtesy to his or her lim-
itations, becomes restricted to En-
glish. In Sweden, French, German
and English are obligatory studies
in the curricula. The kindergar-
den children are taught, the girls
with their dolls and kitchen-lan-
guages in delightful fashion, the
boys with games and sports and the
like.-harper's Bazaar.
