Campaign oratory In Vermont.

Vermonters are promised some ex-
cellent campaign. oratory through the
summer months. Senator Proctor tells
the Burlington Free Press that the
national committee have assigned
Senator Spooner and Secretary Wilson
for a few speeches in the state, and
Senator Dillingham; told a representative
of the CALIFORNIAN, while he was here
Friday, that Congressman Hill of Con-
necticut could be secured for the Vermont
campaign. Senator Spooner is the lead
ing debater in the Senate. Secretary
Wilson made many friends in his four of
the state last year with the state board
of agriculture, and Congressman Hill is
one of the best posted men on finance
and the tariff in either branch of Con-
gress. Whoever is nominated for
governor will receive the full party vote
and Verrnont's record in September will
be a splendid endorsement of the
Roosevelt administration.

Oddly Marked Tombstone.

In an old graveyard in Maine the
monument to the founder of distin-
guished family is marked with the out
line of human leg. It is formed by
black streaks in the granite running
through the stone, for at the back there
is another leg, but much smaller in dt
mensions. Nobody saw this blemish
when the stone was set up. Not until
years had passed did any one notice it
People concluded that the stonecutters
not wishing to go to the expense OF
quarrying out another block. 50 hid the
leg with cement and stone dust that the
actions Of the storms Of a dozen win
ters were necessary to expose the
strangely formed disagreement

SAVED BY A WARNING
ALARMED BY NUMBNESS, PAIN AND
LOSS OF VITALITY.
Mrs. Pember Escapes Shock and is Cured
of Rheumatism and Debility by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.

Mrs. Pember Escapes Shock and is Cured
of Rheumatism and Debility by
DIR. williams Pink Pills.
A few years ago the happiness of Mrs.
Lucretia A. Pember, of So Lebanon ave.
nue., Willimantic, Conn.,, was disturbed
by constant fear of a paralytic shock An
annoying numbness had appeared from
time to time in her left arm and this, in
state, she regarded as signal of danger.
1t caused her great anxiety and finally
led her to adopt a course by which she
was relieved not only from the dread of
shock but also from other serious in
references with her health. She gives
the following account of her experience:
sc For several years had numbness
in my left arm. It did not stay there
all the time, but would go and come
again. Sometimes there would be sharp
pain. Every time it came it suggested
paralytie Stroke and alarmed me
greatly. I also had rheumatism in my
left knee which was swollen and very
painful, and caused me to be laid up in
bed for long time. was very thin too
and colorless and lacked vitality.
.The doctors gave me but little relief,
and that little lasted only short time.
So, when a relative told me about DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
was quite ready to give them good
trial.
"They certainly did wonders for me.
They drove away the numbness from my
arms and delivered me from the fear of a
shock that I am sure I would otherwise
have had. They also cured my rheuma-
tism and debility. I still take them in
small doses as a general tonic, and I
cannot recommend them too strongly"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have effected
many remarkable cures in cases of par
tial paralysis, and even such as are Sc
verely stricken should not despair.
Those, who like Mrs. Pember recognize
the approach of the disease, may use
them with the utmost hopefulness. Her
case proves also their peculiar value as a
blood remedy. Rheumatism is a blood
disease, and her debility too, as shown
by her thinness and lack of color, was
due to impoverished blood. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills make new blood and
sound health follows. They are sold
by all druggists throughout the world.

Enormous Crowds Visiting St. Louis.
Perfect Accommodations Interestin 8
EilipinOs.

Filipinos.
1t is about two weeks since the opening
of the st. Louis Exposition, and the adj
mirable accommodations furnished by
St. Louis reflect great praise upon the
city. The Exposition is all that has beer
claimed for it. In fact, it is much more
than the imagination can possibly con-
ceive. The perfection and completion of
the exhibits speak well for the exposition
managers. The Philippine exhibit
attracts crowds daily. The natives ap-
pear entirely oblivious of the gaping
multitudes. They chatter and play and
work just as in their native islands.
The American Indians, numbering over
sixty-one tribes, are another interesting
exhibit on the famous Pike This
section of the Exposition is marvellous.
It far surpasses anything Of the kind ever
before attempted.
This is an excellent month to visit ST..
Louis, and on the Bost on & Maine route
you can stop off at Niagara Falls.
You can also journey via Montreal and
Niagara Falls; and through cars from
Boston carry you right outside the Ex
position gate into the new Wabash
Station.
For full information describing the
Exposition and the rates and routes,
send to the Boston & Maine Passenger
Department, Boston, tor their beautiful
descriptive booklet on the Exposition.
It will be mailed to any address free.

PRESS COMMENT.
Lumber and the Canadian Tariff.

Lumber and the CANADIAN Iaf111s
One OF the largest lumber dealers in
New England said. recently that from the
standpoint of his own personal interests
it was desirable to have duty on lum-
Der brought from Canada into this coun-
try, as be was the holder of large tracts
OF timber in New England, but that he
believes putting Canadian lumber and
pulp on the free list would be the best
action for New England at large, as it
would postpone for years the exhaustion
of our home supplies of spruce and pine,
now approaching rapidly Il Brattleboro

Raise Mortgages by Raising Asparagus
IF that is a true story Country Life
tells of the man who raised asparagus so
successfully that he was able to lit the
mortgage from his farm in time, and not
a disconragingly long time either, it
should set farmers perplexed over
money matters to following after the
methods he pursued. His first move, be
it noted, was to secure from the depart
ment of agriculture all the literature it
has compiled on the subject of asparagus
and then go according to instructions
therein given. And even it the story told
isn't true to the letter there seems to be
no reason why any number OF farmers
shouldn't make it come true" These
are the tracts the government has issued
on the subject to be used as guides. and
nothing more explicit could be desired.
Having the land, the seeds or the roots
the rest should be easy. And if admirers
of asparagus who live in cities can
always be depended upon to pay the
prices they are now accustomed to for
asparagus, especially for the very earliest
lots, mortgages will be raised as easily
as the asparagus itself.-EBost Tran

A Big Bouquet for Dunnett.
The St. Johnsbury Caledonian sug-
gests that while Alexander Dunnett
would refuse nomination as governor,
or the appointment of Judge of the
supreme court, he would accept, in two
years, the nomination for congress from
the second district. No man that side
the mountain would better fill the posi-
ton, and no man in Vermont more
closely resembles Henry Clay, the great
Kentucky congressman of a century ago,
in ability as. an orator, statesman, or
in manly beauty Middlebury Register.
How Senator Proctor Grew.
Somebody repeats in the New York
Times Senator Prcctor's advice to a
young man who wanted to get into the
senate and who had an idea that polite
ians grew in night" ''Some kinds do"
answered the senator, "and so does the
mushroom. It's question for you to
ans wer whether you want to be a toad
stool or Daniel Webster!" The sena-
tors advice was to first become good
citizen. ''You might study your ward"
he said, "then your assembly district,
and finally state and national AFFAIRS"
Senator Proctor, whose 73rd birthday
occurs June 1, has graciously outgrown,
the impatience of youth which chafes at
the homely labor of building the clad
der on which to rise" He knows the
value of careful, patient ladder building.

Soulanges canal, fourteen miles il
length, is the largest waterway on the
st. Lawrence system Of canals and I'M
doubtedly of vast Importance to Cana
dian commerce. Many difficulties had
to be overcome in it's construction, not
the least of which was to avoid upset

was accomplished by providing pipes,
which allowed the rivers to pass under

STATE POLITICS.
Fulfilling ,he Prophecy.

Here is the governorship situation in
Vermont. today, as foretold in Samuel
xvi: 10, II:
"Again. Jesse made seven of his sons to
pass before Samuel. And Samuel said
unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen
these.
And Samuel said unto Jesse. Are here
all thy children? And he said, There
remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold,
he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said
unto Jesse; Send and fetch him: for we
will not sit down till he comes hither.''
What happened after that the reader
may discover from the twelfth verse, if
he does not now remember.-[St. Adams
Messenger.
The Truth Plainly stated.
In response to the query of the St.
Adams Messenger as to "where the
this year and DeBoer four years hence,
it may be said that they come in as
much as they will if DeBoer is elected
this time. There is no spontaneous
uprising of the people for Mr.. DeBoer.
There is considerable array of newspa-
pers which espouse his candidacy, and
they are backed by quite a number of
politicians. In case he is elected, which
is doubtful, his nomination will have
been secured by manipulation and pre-
conceived plan. There is a coterie of
men who are seeking in season and out
of season to compass his nomination.
This they have perfect right to do, and
he will make an excellent governor if he
is elected, but it is the newspapers and
the politicians that are pushing his can
didacy. On the other hand, the most OF
the strength which Mr. Stanton and Mr..
Bell have is to be found in their hold on
the people who believe them to be good
and true men who are fitted for the posi-
ton to which they aspire. The idea that
Mr.. DeBoer is "the peoples candidate"
and all others are the dummies put up
by scheming politicians is all tonmyrot.
