MONEY IS
ALL WASTED
BOunties on Animals Paid
by the State.
ON 10000 HEDGEHOGS
State Has Paid $6,467-Foxes
Are Second on the List
at So, 735.
ON 10000 HEDGEHOGS

StAlbans, July 2S.-There is certain
ly food for thought in the statement
that for the year ending April 30, 1904
there has been paid from the treasury
OF the state OF Vermont the sum of
ST., 269. 70 in bounties on noxious ami
mails, so called. The largest single
item is So, 467. 70 paid on p, ,559 hedge
hoge at thirty cents each.
The total returns for the year from
April 30, 1903 to April 30, 1904 show
that bounties have been paid on 1880
foxes, p, $50 hedgehogs, 81 lynxes, As
bears and 60 snakes. One wolf and
one panther were killed on which the
bounties have not beeu paid as yet.
Under act II OF the laws of 1902 a
bounty of Sl2 is allowed on panthers
and wolves
The bounty on foxes is seventy-fve
cents: on hedgehogs, thirty cents, on
lynXes, five dollars; on bears twelve
dollars; on rattlesnakes, one dollar.
According to this schedule of prices
there have been paid in bouuties the
past year the following amounts:
Foxes, s3,735.00
Hedgehogs, 6,467.7O
LynXes $500
Bears 552. 90
Rattlesnakes, 60
Sll 269. 20
For the year ending Apr. 80, 1903,
bounties were paid as follows:On 6, 5O7
foxes, S4, SSO,25; on IA lynxes. 1870;
on 1876 hedgehogs, s2l5s. 80; on 81
bears 1904; on III rattlesnakes, sl17.
The most noticeable increase is in
the hedgehog bounties which is partly
explained by the fact that they were
paid for only part of the year end
ing April 30, 1903, and partly by the
fact that the provisions of the law
were better known. Addison county
shows an increase in animals killed
,I97 to l,S2S. OF the latter number

Man, one of the sort whom a young
man can admire and understand. He is

preciate.
Old party lines are not as well defined
as lhey AVE been in the past. New is
sues have arisen, and those who for the
hrst time cast their votes for President
VIII not cast it as Democrats or Repub-
means because they must vote as their
fathers voted. Information is more gen
efal than 1T was Il quarter of a century
ago, and the young man thinks for him
self, because he knows enough to do SO.
lie, If he be not absolutely ignorant,
Keeps step with the march of circum-
stances. He will not cast his vote ac-
cording to a legend.
1t is because OF this, because of the
amazing difference in the personality of
the candidates, that the young men will
inevitably incline to Roosevelt. With all
regard for the eminent responsibility of
Mr.. Parker he must be looked upon as
having ABOUT the same degree of mag
netism as the ordinary fish, no doubt a
useful product, but incorporating in a
personal way, Tor the man who likes a
manly man, as young men do, there is no
comparison between the candidates.
Roosevelt will get the young mems votes.

THE BUSINESS MEMS VOTE
Reasons Why 1t Should BE Given to
Republican Candidates,

In the presidential elections of 1896
and 1900 the business men of the coun-
try exercised more decisive influence than
III any other two national elections in our
history. They voted in greater numbers
than ever before, and their vote was al
rrcst solid in favor of sound money, pro-
lection of home markets. and the extern
sion of foreign trade. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the conservative bust
ness vote of the country turned the scale
i'll 1896 and 1900. For this the business
men may we'll congratulate themselves
and enjoy the consciousness Of having
done their duty and rendered great ser
vice to the country.
But how about the coming election?
The money question in its various phases
OF the gold standard. the currency and
the national banks is still threatened by
one wing of the Democratic party, while
the protection of home markets and the
opening of foreign ones is as important
as ever. The Democratic platform is 81
lent on the money question. Judge Par
ker says the gold standard is ''irrevoca-
bly, fixed" but the Democratic party has
not said so. That party has been wrong
Oh every phase of the financial question
from the Civil War to the present time.
Can it be trusted now?
Speaker Cannon. in his notification
speech to Mr.. Roosevelt, said that if
Judge Parker's vote and support of his
partys candidate in 1896 and 9 had
been decisive. I'VE would now have the
silver standard" There is something for
business men to think about. Judge Par
ker claims to have repented and the par
ty promises reform. Can they be tru~-
ed?
The question of protecting home mar
kets and extending foreign markets is
one of vital Importance to business men.
From a business point of view it is a
question of life or death. The Demo
cratic party fayors a tariff policy that
would be fatal to both home and foreign
markets. 1t is no more worthy of the
support of business men now thar it was
in 1896 or in 1900.

TRIBULATIONS OF A GREAT
GRANDFATHER.
Elkins, w. Va, Aug. o6. 1904

Elkins, w. Va, Aug. &c. 1904.
Dear Sonny:
Have just finished readin' your speech of
acceptance for the third time and find it
tough chewin' for my unprotected gums.
My new teeth have gone to the dentists
for q gold film. to match our new views.
and my boy Steve Elkins) has borrowed
the old set ! got the year Washington
crossed the Delaware, to make q mask Of
Roosevelt for his grandchildren.
Can you tell me why people who do
things always have teeth, while those who
don't, have none-only ears?
AS l was sayin', what bothers me is. If
you wrote that speech Of acceptance who
wrote your dispatch to Sheehan; and If you
wrote the dispatch what dodgasted blum
derbuss wrote your Esopus speech?
I've just finished readin' q new memoir
Of Andrew Jackson, and 1t set me thinkin'
how he could stand on the st. Louis plat.
form without putting his foot through ev-
cry paragraph. Andy was like that young
ster In the White House-he had teeth and
did things, and didn't care who wrote the
stand on them.
What do you think Andy would have
done in Cuba, or in the Philippines, or at
Panama? guess he'd have got there first
and consulted the consent OF the governed
afterwards.
Speaking of a%nnexin' things, where do
you suppose I'd have got the spondulicks to
put up for our campaign fund il l hadn't
Of set up nights annexin' everything In
sight?
Take my advice and stop takin' to the
water every mornin' before breakfast. 1t
will hurt the ticket on the East Side Of
New York and in Kentucky.
Little Steve has just come in from a
Roosevelt and Fairbanks rally on my front
lawn. and says our ticket reminds him OF
a brindle pup, because it has more wag
in its tail than in its head. What do you
suppose he means? Yours till November.

Roosevelt and Union Veterans.

In 1889 Theodore Roosevelt, as Civil
Service Commissioner, devised the plan
by which veterans of the war for the
Union who had been dismissed from the
public service with good records could
be reinstated. A great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic %administra-
ton. Under the rule devised and estab-
lished by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds of
them were reinstated in the public ser.
vice during Mr.. McKinley's administra-
ton. AS that was more than ten wears
before Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated for
Vice President his action could not be
attributed to political motives. 1t was
due to his regard for the veterans and to
a desire to remedy Democratic injustice.

DAVIS SAYS YES.

There was gloom in the committee, and
with voices low and Sad
They diScour$ed upon the troubles and
the WorrimeutS they had.
What's the news from West Virginia?'
they would Sit around and Say.
Have they Sent the message telling
Uncle Henry GaSSaway
That the peSSimiStic leaders have but
little to expect
If we haven't his assurance that the

Guessing whether he would tumble if q
brick house fell on him;
And the ones who were best posted told
in whispers Soft and low
What a Swathe they might be $le$hing
= if he only would let go.
And from time to time they Started when
a whistle blithe and gay
Made them think there was a message
from good Henry Ga$Saway.
Still the moments grew to hours and the
clock Seemed almost Stopped.
And in diSSappointment'S Shadow all the
hearts SO anxious dropped;
Till to cheer the waiting watchers one
who'd Seen the wondrouS place
Told them not to grow deSpondent-it
was not a hopeless case;
That while Henry Ga&Saway was not SO
$pry and Swift aud young
Still he knew his barrel wasn't any use
without a bung.
Then at last there came the answer to
the message they had Sent
And their happiness long $tified in an
instant was unpent,
And the pe$$imi$tic persons turned to
optimistic thoughts
For the Short, decisive Sentence bright
ened all the gloomy Spots.
Just a Short, $~ententiouS Sentence Served

Hint for Democratic Spellbinders.

When Democratic spellbinders go be-
fore the people this year. they should
conclude their speeches with the words
of the Litany: 1--WE have erred and stray
ed like lost sheep. We have followed
too much the devices of our own hearts.
We have done those things which we
ought not to have done. and we have left
undone those things which We ought to
nave done, and there is no health in "a.
The Lord have mercy upon us, miserable
sinners" The only reason why the
party has not done more mischief is lack
of opportunity.
