Time-KiIIer in broadway.

A curious feature of the MONDAY
crush on lower Broadway is the
dawdling of numbers of young men
and old among the busy, rushing
thousands, as if all the care they
had in the world was to enjoy a
good smoke. In the side streets
these idlers stand in groups, putting
at cigars, cigarettes or pipes. Sud-
denly some one, consulting his watch,
will exclaim: times up" and the
group will be swallowed up in one
of the Office buildings. These men
are taking their MONDAY smoke after
luncheon, in the minutes remaining
of their noon hours. The anti-smok-
ing rules now being adopted in many
large offices are responsible for these
men loafing on their way back from
luncheon.-N. Y. Times.

The following extract from an editor
ial in the Saturdays American, voices
our opinion of the most popular q novel
of the day, judging it solely by its
sales
Lady Roses Daughter" by Mrs.
Humphry Ward, is a successful novel
1t is being read by about everybody who
cares for current fiction. To the great
majority the standing of the author puts
the stamp of responsibility upon what
ever she writes. Therefore Lady
Roses Daughter" is freely admitted to
thousands of American homes without
question of its fitness to enter.
Nevertheless. this popular novel, by
the highly respectable Mrs. Humphry
Ward, is an immoral book-fagrantly
and repulsively immoral
Here is the test: Let any one who has
read it try to imagine himself telling
the story of Lady Roses Daughter" to
an innocent girl or a modest woman.
1t can't be done by decent man.

Harris as a Farmer.

The only "Jack Harris" the brightest
newspaper writer the state has produced
in many day, now assistant post master
to the United States Senate, is spending
his vacation on farm in Danville, and
has made certain characteristic discov-
cries already. He writes the Morris
vile Messenger as follows:
"But as to Agriculture. During the
brief thaw last week l planted my peas.
beans, and few other fruits and have
every reason to believe them safe. At
least the ground is frozen so solid that
the hens can't excavate for them. If
the country were to thaw out for few
weeks and the hens form a committee to
investigate and report, l don't know
what would happen. Meanwhile l am
reading up on government agricultural
documents and reports, sorting farm
seeds and meditating deeply.
Already l have formed one or two
theories which will test as soon as the
velocity of the wind and weather per-
mits. | have considered the subject
profoundly and l have every reason for
believing that the ordinary potato Of
commerce can be crossed into horse
radish and Jerusalem artichokes so that
they will reproduce themselves each
spring and do away with the necessity
for planting. How's that for dis
covery? What boon to mankind, and
what a saving in seed and labor just
stop to consider, and you will be amazed
and astounded. And the best is yet to
come. ] read in a government pubIica-
ton that tomatoes can successfully be
grated ON potatoes, and | will make
practical application of this wonderful
discovery during the season. Isn't it
wonderful though? Think of the ground
area saved by growing two luXuri-
ant crops in place of one! Doesn't 1t
almost take your breath:
"a bucolic neighbor has heifer calf
born minus tail, and in this l see
dimly, however, as yet-vast possibilities
for the plain English and profane speak
ing races. Don't you see that by judi
cious cross breeding-with Belgian
hares, for instance--that simply paralyz-
ing results would ensue? Just conceive
calves at litter every few days, and
tail-less ones at that! Wouldn't that
knock Wallace Parker's celebrated anti
tail switching device into the most
remote regions of innocuous desuetude?
While l am perfecting the details you
might come at me with some sugges-
ton as to stock company, if you want
to get in on the ground floor"

A SURE THING.

1t is said that nothing be sure except
death and taxes, but that is not alto
gether true. DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption is sure cure for all
lung and throat troubles. Thousands
can testify to that. Mrs. C. b. VanMletre
of Shepherdtown, w. Va, says II had a
severe case of Bronchitis and for year
tried every thing | heard of, but got no
relief. One bottle of DIR. Kings New
Discovery then cured me absolutely"
It's infallble for Group, Whooping
Cough, Grip, Pneumonia and Consump-
tion. Try it. It's guaranteed by w. H.
Sheldon, Druggist. Trial bottles free.

That cheerful romancer, the legiti-
mate successor to Baron Muchaunsen.
is again at it with the story of the find
ing of the lost British treasure, alleged
to have been sunk in Lake Champlain
over 100 years ago. The city papers
swallow this magnificent yarn as
greedily as a ten inch trout does a fly
the first day of May. This time the
story is dated Glen's Falls, n. Y. The
author is alleged to be Vermont news
paper man located in the wilds of
Bennington county He is second
brother to the discoverer of the wonder
full cave in Fair Haven, and the chained
skeletons in the cellar of an old
abandoned house in Castleton that so
startled the New York yellow journals a
few years ago.

LETTER TO j. n. SARGENT.
MIDDLEBURY, VT.

Dear sir; Milk, so much a quart-part
water. Is it milk? How much satisfac-
ton will it give: How much nourish-
ment? How many customers will it win?
Mixed paint is the same as watered
milk. 1t seems to be cheap, but it isn't.
Devoe lead and zinc is rich milk, it's
creamy milk: seems to be costly, but
isn't. Covers more square feet to the
gallon; covers it better; makes labor go
further; lasts more years than any mixed
paint; lasts more years than lead and oil.
The cheapest paint in the world, made
by the Oldest concern in America-149
years old.
Mr. j. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, writes:
had always used 40 gallons of lead and
oil for my house; this summer | bought 40
gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc for the same
house and had 10 gallons left
Yours truly,
f. w. Devoe g. Co..
New York.

A GENEROUS GOVERNOR

1t is a good thing for the state som e.
times to have governor of independ-
ent means. Vermont made no appro-
priation to have the state represented at
the big worlds fair at St. Louis and the
great gathering there last week of the
famous men of the nation would have
had no reminder that there was any
such state in the Union as Vermont had
not Governor Mccullough of his own
volition, and without penny of expense
to the state, taken a party of distin-
guished Vermonters to st. Louis and
entertained them there, participating in
the dedicatory exercises in manner
commensurate with the dignity of a
sovereign state rather than the parsi-
mony of a Vermont egislature.-Ben-
nington Banner.

TWO YOUNG STOREKEEPERS.
How Couple OF Girls Found n Way
of Keeping the Wolf from
Their Door.

Two girls who lived in pretty little
home near large public school in a
suburban town were suddenly made to
feel the necessity of making their own
living. Their father died, and their
mother was taken very ill, SO that she
had to go to a hospital, says the Bos-
ton Herald. The girls were young and
unframed, but they were old enough
to know that they must help to keep
the little home over their heads. They
talked it over brAvely. 1--WE can make
homemade candy best of anything"
said one.
Yes" said the other. land we are
way up here on the hill where there
are no stores, and the children have to
go way down town with their pennies,
and store candy isn't nearly so good
for them either"
That was the beginning. They made
candy, simple and wholesome, and dis
played it in their front bay window,
on a little shelf of their own cons true
ton. They arranged the window at
an hour when the children were hang
ing around ready to watch any new
thing that was going on, and soon they
had their customers. The children told
their parents, who became interested.
and ran into the store with sugges'
tons.
Il often get out of thread" said one;
"why don't you keep that?"
sit would be handy to have a place
near by where we could run in and get
shoelaces," said another
81 so often run out of cereals and
haven't time to order from the city,"
said still another.
When the mother returned she found
a full-fledged candy and necessity store
in her front parlor, and two over
worked young clerks eager to welcome
her back to her home and their living
enterprise.
They do nothing on a large scale,
but the store fills longfelt want, with
no debts on either side of the books,
and that is one secret of it's success.

"There was general exodus of rubber

or have held onto their New Years
resolutions longer than usual; for the
reports of the days sport were two

LOOK OUT


The Rutland Herald calls attention to
one point in the new license law which
is emphatic but not generally understood
and which is being violated. 1t is that
embodied in Sec SO, making it illegal
for persons to solicit orders for the sale
of liquor in no-license towns, except to
pharmacists holding fifth class licenses.
No drummer for liquor houses outside
the state, licensed dealers in state towns
or anybody else can do this safely.
Liquor sellers must keep out of no-license
towns or they will have trouble.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1903-05-15
NOT LICENSE TO GET DRUNK

The trainers of the license law didn't
design it, and large majority of its
supporters didn't intend it, to allow men
license to debauch themselves, to
make veritable pigs of themselves.
And as long as some men, by their
actions, show that they think the new
law gives them freedom to do that, they
should be warned to the contrary, and
the most efficacious method of doing it
is by making arrests of any and all
offenders. License does not mean
liberty to get drunk. Barre Daily
Times.

The new hedgehog law is proving
quite a bonanza to hunters in some
localities. j. A. Chedel, town clerk of
Stockbridge, reports having paid
bounties on over 500 hedgehogs, one
man bringing in fifty animals at one
time. The bounty is SOC, per, and is paid
out by the towns, and the towns are
eventually repaid by the state. Some of
the mountain towns of this county ought
to be able to equal this record.
