THE OLD LOG SCHOOLHOUSE Is

The old log schoolhouse remains in

In the old canal days, a fine setter
was taken by his master on a packet
boat which was so crowded that the
dog was put in the captains cabin
to be out of the way. His owner
reached his destination after night
fall, and had taken so much wine by
thai time that he was carried off the
boat, and no one remembered his set

the dog on deck, but was much
afraid he would jump off to the tow

so handsome an animal would have

Owner of a Dog that Did Not Eat 1t
Must Pay for Repast.

Must Pay for Repast.
The Paris newspapers have lately
printed the account of a strange law
suit which the Green Bag reports for
its American readers. The complain
ant in the case testified that he was
dining on the terrace In front of a
restaurant, enjoying the air as well as
the food. He had just begun to eat his
soup. which he found too hot for his
palate. While waiting for the soup TO
cool. he took from his pocket a roll
of bills which he had received in pay
ment of a bill.
In counting the money he accident
ally dropped a hundred-franc bank
note into his soup. He took 1t out of
his plate with a fork. and sent the
soup away. The bank note was satur-
ated with the greasy liquid, and he laid
1t down on the table cloth to dry.
He was partaking of the second
course, when a sudden gust of wind
blew the note off the table. He ran
after It, but a dog, which, although it
wore a collar, and therefore in all prob
dDlllCy ndu IL HOLue, yet bnONeu every
sign of hunger, seized Ii. The taste of
the soup on the paper made 1t palatable,
and the dog swallowed the note in an
instant.
The complainant used all his per
suasive power in an effort to get the
dog to come near aim. Good. doggy
Come herei" he coaXed.
The animal, pleased with the taste
| of the soup, was finally toled near
enough for the complainant to read the
| name engraved on the collar. When
he had made a note of the name and
/ address of the owner of the dog, he
, dismissed him with a Scotch blessing
Then he sought his lawyer. AND
brought suit against the owner Of the
dog for the restitution of the hundred
francs.
The court decided that the owner o.
the dog must pay, holding that since
| the dog was property, the owner mus
be held responsible for any act com
mitted by the animal.

THE MONA TREATMENT
Flesh Forming Food in Tablet Form
That Increases Flesh - Guaranteed
by George e. Greene.

The discovery of Mi-o-na, the re-
markable flesh forming food thai
builds up good healthy, solid flesh and
makes thinness and scrawniness a
thing of the past, has revolutionized
medical practice in certain lines.
Its power to do all that is claimed
for it was so clearly proven to George E
Greene that he has sold Mi-o-na with
the understanding that if it fails the
purchase price was to be refunded.
George E. Greene certainly exhib-
tied courage in taking up this method
of selling Mi-o-na, but the results
have fully proven his judgment that
the Mi-o-na treatment for stomach
troubles, emaciation, general weakness
and run down condition is the only eff
ficacious and reliable cure.
Mi-o-na possesses healing and
soothing qualities that make it espec-
tally valuable in cases of chronic indi-
gestion and dyspepsia. Two or three
tablets taken each day in connection
with the regular food prove it a true
flesh former
All that many woman lacks to be
positively pretty is a little more flesh
on her face. To look haggard or not
fat is never becoming. The use of Mi
o-na will cure this defect
With every soc. box of Mi-o-na that
George E. Greene sells, he will give a
written promise to refund the money if
it does not give an increase in flesh
and restore strength. What a trifling
cost this is if it makes you we'll; If it
fails, the expense is absolutely moth
ing.

New York does not take kindly to
the restoration" of Prophet Elijah
Dowie. The people crowd into his
meetings but they rush out again as
soon as they have gratified their curl
osity, regardless of his protestations
and when he wakes wrathful, they hiss
him. The New York ministers do not
like him, either. DR.. Parkhurst, the
reformer, has written an open letter
condemning his speech as "effervescent
wrath and coarse invective" and tell
ing him that he cannot bully people
into Zionism. DIR. Henson of Brook
Ign says of him: "Balaam, the prophet,
rode on an ass but Dowie, his sue
cessor, requires a great many thous-
and asses to support him. The origin
al Elijah was fed by food brought by
the ravens. Elijah III is fed abund
antly by a great flock of gulls." Pro
phet" Dowie retorts that Parkhurst
lies and that he spanked that dirty
boy Henson in Chicago" and now
Henson is carrying a knife for him.
All of which, considering that minis
ters of the gospel and an alleged re-
igious restoration" are involved,
strikes us as sickening.

Issuing New Licenses.

The decision of the Brattleboro Ii
cense commissioners to grant hearings
for applications for new licenses to sell
liquor in place of the licenses revoked
is gratifying to the friends of temper
ance among whom are included the
large majority of local optionists
The commissioners are certainly
right in deciding that they ought to
have power to grant new licenses. The
general state and local opinion sup
ports them. The law however provides
for the issuance of certain number of
licenses, which under certain condi-
tions must be revoked; it specifies that
licenses revoked for death or bank
ruptcy of the licensee may be reissued.
The inference is that other licenses re-
voked may not be reissued.

United States Marshal Field of Rut-

for negligence in permitting the escape
of some Chinamep recently, the whole
congressional delegation headed by
Senator Proctor, goes on the warpath.
Those who have no reason to wish any
thing but good luck to Field, will be at
a loss to explain why the discharge of
federal employee for neglect of duty
should necessitate immediate and con-
certed protest from the politicians. If
Mr.. Field was removed for good cause,
protest is unnecessary; if not, protest
is a strange criticism upon the higher
authorities who removed him, and
would not his case be strong enough in
itself to secure the presidents inter-
vention if deserved? Senator Proctor,

The fee system is back number-a

a little. 1t has made honest men dis
honest and of a soft shelled thief it
has made a calloused robber There
never was redeeming feature attach
ed to it. 1t is a grafters proposition
from start to finish--an opportunity to
rob legally. If an office is worth any
thing it is worth salary with no ex-
tras attached to it. The fee system
has made some Vermont office holders
wealthy. The Essex county sheriff
who travelled 116 mics in single day
to be feed for but IL miles is an excep-
ton to the general rule, as applied to
sheriffs of the state. Why, there are
sheriffs and ex-sheriffs in Vermont this
day who could write a book on fees!
