The multimillionaire who endows col leges and establishes colleges is sub jected to great deal of chaff and is sometimes accused of seif-aggrandize- ment. The millionaire who devotes himself to horse racing, an institution which mainly benefits the professional gamblers, is permitted to pass without criticism. This seems hardly fair.

Hieh License in Caledonia County.

We notice statement that parties in
Caledonia County have purchased the
subscription list of the Lyndonville Jour
nal for the purpose of advocating high
license with that paper, and thus break
ing into the temperance column of this
county, every one of whose seventeen
towns voted against license.
1t is a hopeless case, at least it would
be in any county which has the object
lesson of license before it. For the only
feeling throughout the State, where
licenses have been granted, is one of in
tense disgust with the workings of the
law, and determination to get rid of it as
soon as possible.

THE LICENSE LAW.
CONTINUED from page p

MONTPELIER, April 23.-Six worthy
gentlemen answered to their names i'll
city court this morning when Judge
Woodward called the roll.
The first was Andrew Rogers. He
said he was guilty of second offence of
intoxication and when the court imposed
fine of S15 and costs he added that he
could not pay. He was then sentenced
to the house of correction for term of
102 days as an alternative sentence.
James Tierney was jagged for the first
time under the new law, he said, and
took ten days in Jail to pay for it, remark
ing as he went that he guessed it would
do him good.
Joseph Sweeney, of Barre, formerly of
Portland, Maine, also took ten days for a
first booze.
Morris Daley, of Waterbury was found
by Chief Mcmahon yesterday afternoon.
lying flat on Union House verandna and
was carried to the Jail from there. He
likewise took ten days in Jail.
Daniel Kelley said he was from Boston
and moreover said he was not drunk last
night for the second time under license
as the complaint charged. He entered
a plea of not guilty and bail was fixed at
$50 which he could not furnish He later
plead guilty and took the usual sentence.
John White of Graniteville pleaded
guilty to a second offence of intoXication
and told the court he had no cash He
looked relieved when the sentence of the
law was given that he be imprisoned in
the county Jail for thirty days.

Many months rolled by, and never let
ter was received by any one at home from
the young man who had gone off so reck-
lessly one night in search of fame and for
tune in the far west. 1t is certain, how
ever, that his Cousin Horace did not meet
him on the edge of the 'throbbng NUM-
cpality" with fast horse, as Cousin
Horace had been killed by the angel of
Paradise Valley a week or two before
Harry had quit his parental roof, Tom
Haskins, likewise, had been perforated by
cattle dealer, who had caught Haskins
trading away a couple Of steers that did not
belong to him. And even Bentons two
most intimate friends, Jim Metcaf and Bill
Herold, had wandered away off in Ari-
iona, and were in prison for holding up a
Southern Pacific train.
A year had passed and never a letter
came from Harry to any one at home Mrs.
Benton dreaded to read western kilograms
for fear of learning something wrong OF
her darling boy. Mr.. Benton believed his
son was made of good stuff, and that he
was as likely to make millions and be sent
- the United States senate as certain
Rocky mountain senators before him. And
the girls were always looking for the letters
that never came But one night, about
nine o'clock, there sounded loud knock
at the front door of the Benton residence,
and the eX-congressman answered the sum
mons in person. The whole family believed
that it was Harry who had knocked; that
he had become millionaire, and a United
States senator, and that he had taken this
means of surprising his parents and sisters,
especially as it happened to be exactly two
years, to a day, or a night, since his dra-
matte departure.
The man who had knocked was not Harry,
however. But he handed to Mr.. Benton
a letter from Harry, which was the next
best thing. The contents of the letter were
as follows;
my Dear Father: Meet me at midnight
at the farthest edge of the town. Bring
with you full suit of clothes. l have a
hat! HARRY"

This round lasted one min ute. The rat was then dislodged and the snake made for him the second time. The snake struck at his oppo- nent and chased him around the cage, the rat jumping about and lodging the blows of the snake and avoiding the mouth of the snake until the snake presented another opportunity of being stretched out in full length, and then the rat took advantage of he sprang on the snake and riyeted his teeth in the snake at the same place. The struggle of the two for mer rounds was repeated. The time was one minute and five seconds be- fore the hold of the rat was broken.
 The snake, finding himself free from. his enemy, crawled into one corner of the cage and coilcd up, but did not renew the fight. The rat re- sumed his place in the corner he had originally chosen and stood there panting and trembling, but did not make another attack, and the victory was awarded to the rat, which was uniniured. His ears were then cropped so that they would know him if he was ever caught again, and for put ting up such gallant fight he was turned loose to roam the museum

Atkins Lawrence, in recalling his appearances with Mary Anderson when she was a youthful aspirant for theatrical honors in the east, says: "I was getting Q little stout in those days, even though I was young fellow, and as Claude Melnotte I had vest that I had supplied with three buckles in the back. These I would draw as tight as possible to make myself slim. One night I had just finished my description of my palace and knelt down to say: .Likest thou tho picture, Pauline ? when suddenly all three of the buckles gave way with snap that set the people in the orchestra tit tering. Whats the matter, Atkins?' Mary Anderson said, in stage whis- per. My vest buckles have broken I answered. That's all right she replied, I was afraid it was your sus- penders.' "-Detroit Free Press.
