GREENS AS A SPRING TONIC.

The Widows

An important ruling was recently
made by Judge M. A. Bingham of the
Chittenden county probate court and
under 1t A. F. Burdick, T. B. Barney
and A. J. Lowrey, commissioners In the
estate of Thomas H. Thorp of Underhill,
have set apart for the widow one-third
of the estate, irrespective of debts.
This action is contrary to the old Gus.
tom. In former cases when the estate
was insolvent, as was the case with the
Thorp estate, the debts have been paid
and the widow allowed one-third of what
remained. Judge Bingham held that
the law gives the widow one-thIrd of the
estate, irrespective of debts, and accord
ingly instructed the commissioners tc
follow that ruling in the Thorp estate.
The Judge holds that even if an estate is
mOrtgaged to over twO-thrds of its value
the widow will get one-third and the
mortgages get what is left. The
question is one that will command grea
attention on the part of the legal frater
nifty and also on the part of property
owners.

The findings and reply of the judges
follows:
To his Excellency, John G. Mccullough,
Governor of Vermont
In answer to the foregoing communi-
cation under January 10, 1903, stating
that your excellency, in the discharge OF
duties, in considering the necessity of
converting the legislature, and requiring
our opinion whether, and to what extent
sections 100, 101, 1902 and 103 of No. Ga
of the acts of 1902, are now in force and
, effect, we have the honor to say:
The rule is that in constituting statute
all its provisions must be considered in
order to ascertain what the legislature in
tended, that thing within the evident
intention of the statute is as much with
in the statute as though it were within
its letter.
Upon careful reading and considers
ton of said act we think it was the mani
fest intention of the Legislature, by the
last clause of section 100, to make the
sections named in that clause take effect
upon the passage of the act, and that in
tention must have included the clause

John Flint, Salesman.

The Youngstown (Ohio), Vindicator
of January II contains the following in
teresting sketch of former resident of
Middlebury:
John Flint, of Boston, is registered at
the Todd house. He is one of the best
known travelling men who comes to
Youngstown. and for many years has
sold to the shoe merchants here.
1t is given to few men to realize their
boyish ambitions. One who feels him.
self marked out by destiny for circus
rider sinks into the inglorious life of a
bank president. Another sees his aspir-
ations towards the heroic career of a
fireman swamped in the sordid practice
of the law.
John F. Flint has been more fortunate.
1t was his youthful hope to travel on the
road and sell shoes, and he has become
one of the greatest shoe statesmen in the
world, incidentally he is one of the MEM
bers of the firm which he represents,
Winch Brothers, of Boston.
John Flint is so years of age.
Several million dollars worth of shoes
have been sold by him in the last %
years. He has sold more Eshoes than
any other man in the business and yet
he is not satisfied with record of
sales amounting to oyer 100000 a
year.
1t is to the efforts of John Flint alone
that Winch Brothers today stand with
the proud record of being the largest
exclusive shoe house in the world.
1t was John Flint who came west
from Boston % years ago and opened
up the territory that he has travelled
over continuously ever since, and for
10 years he has held the record for the
largest sales of any man in the employ
of the house, and he has for Il years
held the record for selling more shoes
than any othere man travelling on the
road.
1t is a record he can well be proud of
and yet he is an unassuming man to
meet and talk with-always the same
genial good natured John Flint.
Every shoe salesman in the country
knows him and goes to him for advice.
Every boy In the employ of shoe
house in the country knows him and
is glad to meet HIM when he comes to
the door.
Asked one day to what he attributed
his success, quick as a flash he replied
thinking. trying, toiling, keeping con-
tinually at it."
1t is certain that he will go on think.
ing, trying, toiling and keeping con.
stantly at 1t, until his present broad and
wholesome activity is ended In the end
ing of life.
