The original French term, la grippe,

Clement in his pre- convention canvass
for the governorshp With a foot on
each Of these he evidently expects to
safely sail into the gubernatorial harbor.
But Mr.. Clement has no monopoly in the
advocacy of good roads. Half Of the pa
pers in the state have been urging this
for several years; the bcycists and au-
toroobists are unit in its favor; large
numbers Of the most intelligent citizens
in every community are already commit
ted to this advance. and the legislature
has taken initial steps to bring about an
excellent system Of roads along the main
highways. In this matter the Hon.
Percy, far from being a pioneer blazing
the way, is simply getting on the band
wagon in time to enter the town. In the
matter Of economy i'm state expenditures
the situation is about the same, And if
the economy which Mr.. Clement would
iuaugurate in state fiscal matters is of
the same brand as that which he carried
on as president of the Rutland railroad,

post Office inspectors with having aiNer-
tiscd all over the country for agents To
take measures for handmade shoes His
agents worked faithfully and sent Wei
come many orders. but the shoes never
came. and complaints flom all parts Of
the country have been flowing into the
department. Welcome had a little 10 by
u cobbler's shor in the rear of his barn.
His scheme was to sell mems shoes for
81 -, women's for 81 and childrcus for
- cents. In ease he received an order for
four pairs of shoes he agreed to pay the
eXuressaEe on any order. for less than
fou pairs he charged - cents extra. After
certain length of time when the Gus
toners who had sent their money did not
receive their shoes they naturally wrote
to Welcome asking the reason for the de-
lay. Welcome invariably replied either
by reCretting the delay and explaining
for il by the pressure of orders or by
saying that the goods had been sent by
express and had been lost. and he would
send out a tracer to have them looked
up. or else ne merely acknowledged the
recent of the letter and promised 20 ship
the goods in a few DAYS. The inspectors
cannot discover that any shoes We're ac-
tually sent. and no further mail will be
delivered to the enterprising Mr.. Wei
