County commissioner Alva II. Pierce
OF Rutland has nominated new city
health officer to succeed Edgar B.
Moore, who has held the office several
years. Mr.. Moore has been crltisizing
the alderman severely the past year for
their neglect of the water supply. They
got him out of office by having Senator
II. F. Noyes, an alderman, put bill
through the legislature vesting the
power of nominating the health officers
In committee of the alderman. Much
Indignation is felt in Rutland over the
matter as Mr.. Moore had been energetic

were cut, and he was otherwise bruised

The Road to Success.

No young man born in comparative
ly poor circumstances should mistake
the road in life to make it a success.
There is no going across lots to fame
and fortune, at least this is the rule.
Constant labor, a purpose in view,
working to it constantly, persistency
and patience are potent factors to sue
cess. An old saying is often INDUCED
in that is not correct viz: without
fame and fortune at forty, without
fame and fortune always" The
Astors and Nanderbilts accumulated
their fortunes after forty, spending
their younger days in hard labor and
meeting many disappointment. The
mother of Cornelius Vanderbilt gave
him fifty dollars. He bought small
sail boat and transported market gar
dening from Staten Island to New
York, always seeing that his products
were at the market on time. When
wind was against him he would work
his way over shoals by pushing the
boat along by poles, putting his own
shoulder to the pole. This energy
and persistency gave him always a
command Of full freights and he made
money, after which he built and mani
pulated steamboat lines.
Mr.. Tobin once the President of the
Hudson River Railroad Company, be-
gan working for Commodore Va nder-
bilt when young man, as steamboat
clerk. He was instructed to observe two
things viz: collect fare Of everybody
and allow no deadheads an the boat
and to start the boat on time and wait
for nobody. Tobln obeyed his orders
absolutely even to collecting the fare

evening he was on the boat. Next

An Artists Fearful Cruelty.

thing more cruel and repulsive than
the French practice adopted to pro-
cure those sinister-looking animals
whose fierce and hideous attitudes are
reproduced in the jewelry worn to-day
by fashionable Partisan beauties. The
artist who provides these morbid de-
signs lives in village near Paris, and
in different cages keeps cats, rats
and many other animals whom he
slowly starves to death. Though he
lives among his victims, the artist
has grown callous to their cries, and
as the wretched animals writhe in
their agony he gets the horrible and
fantastic forms he desires for the jew
elry destined to adorn the beautiful
women of the French capital. II any
thing could be more incongruous than
this practice when brought into con.
trast with the gentle and sympathetic
traits usually ascribed to women 1t
would be difficult to say where it
could be found. II Is charitable to
believe that the women who wear
such jewelry are not aware Of the
methods by which 1t is produced.

The American workman could by be-
ing fugal save far more money than
those in Great Britain. Notwith-

to the Americans tippling, this COM

America they would see twenty in
England. The latter statement I'M
doubtedly explains why the American

of the English or British workman.
These statements coming from the
source they do, gives much credit
to the United States and its present
laws and forms of Government.

Young men should remember that
it is not good for nature to have life's
road too easy. Better experience and
endure hard work and fare poorly at
times, rather than to have everything
done ready to hand, or rendered upon
silver platter. Poor boys need not
not fear in this land of ours if they do
not own a dollar, If they will only re-
member a few things. Remember that
industry, frugality, temperance and
honesty will bring success to any man.
Make your mark high and work to it;
learn to be selfrelant. When divest-
ed of parents, and other supports in
life, you will be able to stand against
reverses that otherwise might over
power you. Years ago quite few
wealthy men died in this state, who
left legacies of thousands of dollars to
their sons. How many of these for
tunate heirs have made a success in
life since the death Of their indulgent
parents-not many; simply because
they were brought up in luxury and
wealth, not knowing the value of
money. They did not work for that
which they had hence it went as it
came, in an easy way. Means obtained
by labor and energy is lasting because
the value of it is appreciated. There
fore boys, whether or not you have a
dollar, bright future is before you,
if only the stern qualities that make
good men are lived up to in the pract-
ical parts Of life.

Carnegie libraries have lately been

tiles i'm New York state-at Mamaro-

Advantages OF American Labor.

\ great deal has been said about the
superior advantages which American
labor holds over laboring classes of
other countries. Recently a wealthy
Scotch manufacturing firm sent dele
cation of workmen to the United
States to investigate practical condi-
tions, and compare them with British
conditions in wages and labor. There
were twelve men in the delegation,
representing the trades of pottery,
painting, decorating, upholstery,
woodwork, engineering, railways,
building, mining, coach building, and
electricity. Ten of the principal man.
ufacturing cities of the United States
were visited. After a thorough in
vestigation was made of the practical
features of the artisans life, very
complimentary report was made in
favor Of the beniticent policies which
now prevail in the United States, the
American working men being able to
enjoy many advantages over his neigh
Dor across the ocean. The delegation
also reported that the United States
will not only provide for its own wants
in the near future, but will be able
to supply great portion of the wants
of the civilized world. In such COM
modify as binding Irvine for instance,
it is not many years ago since the
American farmer used British made
twines. Now the British market is
overrun with the American produc-
ton. The delegation reported that
not in single instance did they find
the American workman paid lower
wages than the British workman.
The following table was embodied in
their report.

Cheerful Souvenirs From the Yukon

The Yukon Sun, published at Daw-
son City, has an interesting account
of the execution of La Belle and Four
nier, notorious desperadoes of the Yu-
kon country, pleasing feature Of
which was the generous disposition
made of the hangman's ropes. OF the
twenty-five feet of rope for each man,
which was of a fine quality of five
Fights inch hemp, all but a few feet
was generously distributed among
those present as souvenirs of the
cheerful occasion. Detectives Welsh,
who, it appears, was mainly instrument
al in supplying the chief actors in tn is
Yukon entertainment, was given the
largest piece, to which, as the Sun
says, he was justly entitled. After
the bodies were cut down, three feet
of each rope was cut off and given to
the detective.
"The pieces given to the detec-
tive, Says the Sun, "were at the moose
end of the ropes, and although loosened
in order to take them from the bodies
the place where the strain had come
after the drop was painly visible. The
moose was remade and placed in posi-
ton on the wall Of the detectives own
little den, and on the inside of each
moose was placed the culprit's picture
whose neck fitted in it at one time"
1.-THE rest of the rope" continues
the Sun, 'went to the sheriff, with
the exception, of course, of a part to
the hangman. That which the sheriff
retained was given away in pieces no
larger than an inch in length until a
small amount was all that was left.
Men who received pieces forwarded
them to friends on the outside. Other
remnants were sent to friends of the
victims of the murderers, and it is
safe to say that hardly another piece
of rope used for such a purpose has
been scattered to,so many different
parts Of the world"
We have at times been wont to
think of the Yukon country as some
what wanting in those little amenities
of life which mark the higher forms
Of civilization, but after reading the
Suns account Of this pleasing and ad-
mirably conducted function we must
admit that there is no ground for
such an opinion. Could there be any
better evidence of the existence of a
high state Of civilization than that
eyinced by the sheriff's tactful and
generous distribution of the souvenirs
tne La Belle ana FOurnler hanging,
by the spirit of fairness and equity in
giving the detective and hangman the
larger share, by the willingness of
those who had received these valued
mementos to freely part with some
portion of them for the delectation OF
"friends on the outside" and, above
all, by the thoughtfulness and delicate
sensibility shown in sending some
choice bits of the rope to the friends
of the deSperadoes' victims? Surely
the Yukon is civilized to to the
limit.

In almost every community there
are one or two persons who have some
knowledge of bookkeeping, inventories
and accounts, if indeed they may not
be retired experts in this class of
work 1t would pay many farmer
to hire such person to make out for
him an itemized statement of his
assets and liabilities, so that he can
start in fresh with an exact knowledge
as to just where he stands. Then,
even if no regular books are kept, a
similar inventory at the end of the
year will show the farmer whether he
has gained or lost. No business ex-
cept farming is good enough to stand

cial accounts such as characterlzes
