BOTH HANDS SAWED OFF.
Saxton's River Man Meets With Dreadful Ac
cident in a Putney Sawmill.

A most shocking accident occurred
at Putney Friday at the steam mill
owned by Will Pierce. John Marlbor-
ough, young man % years of age.
who has always lived at Saxton 8 River
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thom-
as Marlborough, went to work for Mr..
Pierce early this winter driving team.
Recently he changed his work and took
the position as helper to the sawyer in
the mill. The first slab of log had
been sawed off and the log turned for
the second run, when Mr. Chaplin
started the carriage, and in some un-
known way Mr. Marlborough fell or
was thrown across the log so that when
the carriage was stopped, his body was
within six inches of the saw. As the
most natural thing in the world, he
threw out his hands to protect himself
and both we're cut off, the right one
at the wrist and the left diagonally
across from the base of the little fln-
ger to the base of the thumb. He was
removed TO DIR. Esmond's office and
surgeon from Brattleboro who was In
East Putney at the time, was called,
and with the assistance of local physl-
ciahs, the wounds were dressed and
Saturday he was taken home by his
parents, who reached him about three
hours after the accident. Nothing has
ever touched the hearts of the whole
community as this sad affair and the
family have the very deepest sympathy
from all. Mr.. Marlborough is a nep-
hew of John Strand of Brattleboro.

FIRE IN PUTNEY VILLAGE.
Destroyed Pierce's Saw Mill and Contents
With Loss of $4,000.

The saw mill and wood working shop
at Putney village, owned by Frank L..
Pierce. was burned to the ground Mon
day night with most of its contents. At
about s 80 p. m. fire was discovered in
the boiler room, an alarm was given
and the hose company responded
promptly; but the fire had gained such
beadway that it was impossible to save
the building. There were other build
ines very close to the one burned and
great praise is due the hose company
for saving them. Had the barns ad-
Joining caught fire, doubtless the
Stowell shops and the paper mill only
lust across the street would have
burned. The fire lasted about two
hours. A few saws were all that was
saved. Total loss, $1,000: insurance,
I.375. Mr.. Pierce has lost six mills
by fire in the last 20 years. He was
shipping large quantities OF chair
stock to London and large additional
loss will result from inability to COM
plete orders.

PLAN FOR NEST BOXES.


This is a good way of protecting the
setting hens from being disturbed by
others, and is better than boards laid
over a box with rocks on it. The doors
are braced with two cleats made from
a piece one by four by six
inches, by ripping it from one cor
ner to the other. These are nailed
onto the doors and form a sup
port for door when open, also pre-.
vent door from splitting. Each door
has a hole three inches in diameter
bored in center to give air to hens. In
the evening when gathering eggs, all
doors can be closed and fastened with
buttons, which prevents fowls from
roosting on edges of nest boxes or
doors, thereby always keeping nests
clean.
The whole nest box is open at back,
and is set against the wall of chicken
house and fastened to it by two hooks,
it resting on ~cleats, e, which are nailed
onto wall. By unlocking, the whole
thing can be laid back downward and
all cleaned at once. Each door is fas-
tened to box by a hinge. The nests are
four inches deep from door. If too
deep, heavy hens often break eggs in
jumping onto nest, but in this box they
just step in. The entire tier is eight
by three and ~ inches wide. Each
nest is IL inches square.-C. E. Knud.
son, in Farm and Home.

FARRIs TAKEN BY SURPRISE,
MI Senator Found Circuit At

Legislative Methods.

St. Louis, April 11.-Senator Frank

changed a $1,000 bill, secured in JEFF
ferson City, at Parle's saloon, on Wal
nut street, between Broadway and
Sixth street, Tuesday afternoon
March "a, the day after the genera.
assembly adjourned. For over two
hours the Crawford county statesman
was asked to turn states evidence,
but he refused to do so. That he was
taken by surprise when Circuit At
torney Folk and Attorney-General
Crow showed their familiarity with
legislative methods in Jefferson City,
close friends of Farris will not deny.
Just how near he came to being an
assistance to the state will never be
known. Extraordinary measures were
used with Farris, but when the grand
jury adjourned at six o'clock nothing
could be gained with his testimony
against other members of the Assem-
bly. .n.~ . m ~ &c..

u MANAGEMENT.
1t Poultry Raising Canno
Be Made Profitable in This
Age of Competition.

Upon many farms there is a lack OF
system in the selection of the hens
and pullets for breeding purposes, and
for other pu. poses. 1t is the practice
of some to sell just what a be caught
when the tine ONE for selling, and
again all the old hens are sold off, and
now and then one will be found who
will insist on keeping the old hens.
Now there should be some reason for
the pursuance of all these practices.
We know of Instances where pullets do
more than hens in the way of laying,
and it is also well to say that there is
a reason for it. If the pullets are not
Matched early in the spring it will be
better to retain the hens than to place
too much stress on the pullets. Late
Matched pullets will often prove disap-
pointing. Some old hens will perform
satisfactory service until they are four
years old, although it is not advisable
to keep hens this long on all farms
and under all kinds of management.
Very much will depend on the mode of
feeding whether the hens or the pullet
will give the best satisfaction. One
reason why hens seem to fail sooner
than they should, is due to the fact
that the hens being mature fatten
nor easily, and the pullets being in
a growing condition are not in a DO.
sition to admit of a comparison. It is
detrimental to laying hens to have
them too fat.
On the, average farm where the rec.
ords of heus are not kept it is a good
plan to save a few of the earliest
Matched each year, and let the re-
mainder go to market. Some of the
best hens should be retained, and these
can be selected by their activity and
the color of their combs. It is less ex.
pensive to keep a good hen two or three
years than it is to produce pullets to
take their places.-Caleb, in Midland
Farmer.

HINTS OF A BIG
Congressman SOuthard Begins an
investigation of Methods EN-
pIOyed in Shipping Bodies.

Toledo, o., April 11.-Congressman
J. II. Southland, of this city, has start
ed an investigation which may bring
to light a scandal among United
States officials at Havana, Cuba. The
charge is that exorbitant charges are
being made for the disinterment and
shipment of the bodies of dead SOL
diers from Cuba, when it should be
done free of cost, according to Mr..
Southland. Honor Pugh, who enlisted
in the navy last August, died at Ha-
vana on April 2. His mother here
was notified on April 7. Two days la
ter she received a c%ablegram stating
that the body would be exhumed, I'm
balmed and shipped to New York for
1925. The mother brought the mat
ter to the attention Of Congressman
Southland, who has started an investi'
cation.

REV. WIN. q.
the United States Senate At
santa barbara Cal.

Washington, April 11.-Rev. VIM. II.
Milburn, the venerable blind chaplain
of the United States senate, died in
Santa Barbara, Cal, Friday. Word.to
this effect has been received here by
Col. d. A. Ransdell, the sergeant-at-
arms of the senate. Mr.. Milburn, ac-
companied by his two nieces, the
Misses FINLEY, left Washington for
the Pacific coast about a year ago.
The chaplain was in broken health.
The change brought no great inn
provement in his condition, and when
congress met in December he for
warded his resignation to Washing
ton, but it was never acted IN.
The deceased was a native of Phila-
delphia, where he was born in 1923.
When he was five years of age, a
playmate accidentally struck him in
the left eye with a piece of glass. 4 or
two years he was confined to a dark
room under medical treatment, and
when he came out one of his eyes was
entirely blind and little sight was left
IN the other. He, however, pursued
his studies at school and college for
about twenty years, the sight grow
ing DINNER until gradually he be-
came totally blind. In the spring OF
1888 he went with his fathers family
to Jacksonville, ILL.,, and in 1S43 he be
came a travelling preacher of the
Methodist Episcopal church, serving
charges in various sections of the
country.
Mr.. MiIburn was twice elected chap
lain Of congress-" the first time il
1S45, when a little over twenty-five
years of age; was twice chaplain O.
the house of representatives and last
ly chaplain of the senate, to which
office he was elected in 1898. While
serving a charge at Mobile, Ala, Mr.
Milburn underwent a trial fol
heretical teachings. He was widel!
known as the blind preacher and lee
turer, his ministry and lecture helt
touring many parts of the United
States, Canada, Great Britain and Ire
land. He was also known as an au

Knowledge of What Is Best More Inn.
portant Than Wealth With
out IL

It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best Of the products Of
modern to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements Of the well in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent Of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only. but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter Of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, Is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laXatives. Its quality Is
due not only to the excellence Of the
coordination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles Of plants known to act
most benefcially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi-
ty and purity essential in a remedy in
tended for family use. Ask any physi-
clan who is well informed and he will
answer at once that it is an excellent
laxative. II at all eminent in his pro-
fession n has made a special study of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-
teri he will tell you that it is the best
of family laxatives, because 1t is SIM
pie and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system e~ffectually, when
a laxative is needed, without any un-
pleasant after-effects. Every well i'm
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup Of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tie, because it gives general satisfac-
ton, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the
genuine, which is sold in original pack
ages only; the name of the remedy
Syrup Of Figs and also the full name of
the Company-California Fig Syrup Co.
printed on the front Of every package.

A Xefernn,s Story.

Bath, N. Y, April l3th.-The first con.
sideration of the Commandant and Officers
in the conduct of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Home here, is the health of the Vet
Grams. Kidney Troubles are the most COM
mon cause of ailment, very few of the old
men escaping these in some form or other.
Of course the comrades do as much as
possible for themselves and one of the
most popular and useful remedies en-
ployed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which seem
to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney
arrangements. Indeed, there are among
the veterans, several who claim to owe
their lives to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to
the home from Minneapolis, Mimi, was
given up by four doctors in that city. He
had Bright's Disease and never expected
to live through it, but his life was saved
and bis health restored by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men and no one
who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for any
Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

The StingIess Bees of Cuba.

Among its other curiosities Cuba has
q variety of honey bees that are en-
tirely stingless, although they have
powerful jaws and will bite other in
sects, if disturbed by them. They are
very small and have many other pecul-
iarities, such as keeping the brood
comb horizontal and keeping the en-
trance of the hive so small that only
one bee can go in and out at a time.
In place of honeycomb they deposit
their honey in large cells of wax about
the size and shape of a pullet's egg.
Some of these cells will hold as much
as two tablespoonfuls; they are sealed
over when full. The annual output is
estimated at two quarts per colony and
L. exceptionally delicious.
