does not do just little for himself.

then he knows whether the people

not. Why does he advertise ? IT. may
be that we do the mind-reader an in.

enough to know that, after all, it is
advertising that pays and not his

Then 1t turned him wrong side out,
And it calmly journeyed thence,
With barn and string of fence.

Social forces that produce
The disorders of a gale;
Act upon a well-known law,
Face the breeze, but close your jaw
It's rule that will not fail,
Ifyou bay it in a gay.
self-sufficient sort of way,
1t will land you. without doubt,
Upside down and wrong side out.

statement regarding the alleged refus-

"The facts in regard to the regiment
not taking part in the review are these:
After four days OF the very hardest
kind of marching in the last day OF
which we did over p miles, there were
so many sore and blistered feet that /
considered it unwise to take the regi-
ment on another sixteen mile march to
take part in review for show. We

NOT FOUND WANTING
Company X Proved One Of the Best Of the
Vermont Regiment.

Capt Graves of Company X is very
enthusiastic in praise of his command
in the recent maneuvers. He says no
company of the regiment did better
work than Company X. On Friday
after all the hardships of the cam
paign the company mustered more
men in good condition and morale
than any other and double what some
companies did.
Company X also carried off the
honors at Brattleboro. While there
the several companies were lined up
for a contest in tent pitching. Co X
stacked arms and pitched its tents in
five minutes breaking its neare.t COM
petitor by minute. In striking tents
and unstacking arms, the Bennington
boys again won breaking Company

company of the regiment by half

Big LUMBER
DEAL IS OFF
Syndicate's Efforts to Buy
Wilderness Fell Through
SPENT MUCH MONEY
Wilmington Railroad Has Already
Been Acquired at a Cost
of 100000.
SPENT MUCH MONEY

To the very eve of its consumat ion
and after some of the deeds had been
executed, the proposed big lumber
purchase by which New York inter-
ests we're to acquire practically all the
timberland from Dandy to Brattleboro
has been abandoned and the largest
lumber deal ever attempted in Yer
mont has fallen through. SO far as
can be ascertained, this is due to a
number of causes, chief of which was
the inability of certain of the land
owners to give clear title to their
property.
The first information of this gigan-
tic numbering project came a number
of months ago, when metropolitan in
terests OF which. it is claimed, John D..
Rockefeller's nephew was at the head
sent engineers and other experts into
Vermont to look over the timber land
in question. The proposition was to
acquire all the land, extend a railroad
through the forests and ''log it'' on
scientific principals along lines map
ped out by expert foresters.
The engineers and experts went over
the ground and reported to their en-
ployers, apparently to the. .latters sat
isfaction, for a lawyer representing
~. Nra,,- Nro,,.l- ,,,o,, eOnp norna m Var-
mont and for several days it seemed
merely question of price to close
the deal. This matter was finally set.
tied and only the passage of the deeds
was necessary to complete the whole
transfer. In fact some of the proper.
ty owners drew up and executed the
deeds at the New York lawyers sug-
gestion.
The syndicate went ahead andbough
the Wilmington narrow-gauge railroad
for 800, 600 and put in many thousand
more, taking inventories and doing
other similar work on the deal. A
gang of some 10 civil engineers start
ed work surveying for the extension
of the narrow.gauge road from Will
mington to Dandy and had the plans
well along, when suddenly the bottom
seemed to drop out of the deal.
THE land which was to have beer
purchased included $4,000 acres o.
forests, mostly spruce in the towns o
Dandy, Mount Tabor, Peru, Winhall
NJ anchester, Glastonbury, Searsburg
Stratton, Somerset and Wilmington,
to be transferred to syndicate for &
sum approximating SI,5OO,OOO, also
the Hoosick Tunnel and Wilmington
| railroad.

TRIUMPH OF AN EMPRESS
Mildred Holland and Her New Play As it APP
peared at Plattsburs.

Mildred Holland in her new play
appeared at Plattsburg, n Y. Tues
day evening of this week and the
Plattsburg Press says of it;
Mildred Hollands production OF
"The Triumph of An Empress" and
her delineation of a portion OF the
life of Catherine the Second last night
served to strengthen the very firm hold
upon the local theatre goers. The
play deals entirely with life of the
Russian court, beginning with the
time Catherine was brought to Russia
to marry Peter the Third. The first
two acts occur in the Convent OF Nov
gorod, and Catherine is given to the
audience in her girlhood years brimful
of her high spirits and mischief and
Miss Holland here does wonderfully
effective comedy work which apparent
ly brings out her strong dramatic tai
ents in the heavier acting in the later
acts.
The third act takes place at the Pal
ace of Peterhof, when the little princess
is four years older and the wife OF
Peter. The next act is in the Throne
Room in the Kremlin, and this is the
greatest act Of the play, the magnid-
cent costuming being fitting accom-
paniment to the splendid acting of the
star. The final act shows the Royal
bed chamber in the Kremliu, and like
all others is beautifully set.
1.-THE Triumph of An Empress" is
meant 10 depict the pleasanter side OF
the Great GATHERINGS career and her
laser life after she had become contain
mated by the that time debauched
Russian Court. Miss Holland is re-
markably clever in giving occasional
little dashes of GATHERINGS freedom OF
speech and at the same time preserving
charming naivete and bringing about
a purely comedy effect.
In regard to mounting, Manager
White has given the piece probably
the most beautiful mounting ever given
to any play put on the road. Not a
detail is neglected or sighted and he
has surrounded bis star with a
thoroughly good support, prominent
among them might be mentioned, Hen
ry G. Mortimer as Peter the Third;
John A. Miesen as Potemkin; George
Warrington as the Archbishop; Del La
Barre as Coun Orlof; George A. Day.
ton as Count Branitsky: Miss Lillian
Ethel Norris as Countess Vorontzof,
and Miss Ethel Young as Countess
Daseksff.
The enthusiastic and repeated cur
tain calls Miss Holland received were
good evidence that the audience ap-
preciated her powerful acting.
