Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1904-02-29

In our last issue we gave the more
important provisions of bill intro
d lced in congress appropriating
s24, 0O0, 900 for the building of per-
maneut highways. Copies of this bill
have been distributed very freely and
many who are interested in securing
better highways have expressed
themselves in favor of the measure
without, we believe, having given the
natter proper consideration.
Vermont and many other states
have for years been appropriating
large sums of money for the improve
ment of the highways, while other
states have done comparatively
nothing and their roads are in
deplorable condition, while their
streams are crossed by fords and
ferries.
II this bill is allowed to become a
law the result will be that in a short
time appropriations will be made for
bridges also, and the expenditures
might in time increase until a direct
tax would be necessary. BY the time
the southern and western states sue
ceeded in getting we'll under way
Vermont would reach the point where
the appropriation would not be
needed, but We would be compelled
to keep on helping to build roads in
the other states.
That we need better highways is
certain, but tn Q work should be done
by state rather than national appro-
priations. This bill provides that no
state shall receive less than $3.50, 900,
but in order to receive share of the
appropriation it is necessary that the
state raise an amount equal to the
sum received from the national ap-
preparation. Let every state appro-
pirate for term of years the sum
which it would be obliged to raise
under the provisions of this bill and
provide superintendent to see that
the work is properly done and the
question of improved highways may
be solved without resorting to
national appropriations.

eat evening time it shall be light"

"At evening time it shall be light"
FAC. Il: z.
A Mother in Israel has gone from
us; and we meet to- day not so much
to mourn for her, though we shall
miss her much, but rather to rejoice
that in her the words of ancient
prophecy find their fulfillment, SAT
evening time it shall be light"
There is nothing that strengthens
our faith in the reality of God and the
immortal life more than to witness
some aged saint whose life still fingers
on the border line between earth
and heaven, whose soul is filed with
quiet peace and joy, which makes
the very evening of life to shine with
the brightness of MONDAY.
Dear old Grandma Keys has lived
to be very old, until her eyes became
sightless, and her ears deaf. There
she sat in her room, day in and day
out. waiting for the time to come
when she should be permitted to lie
down and die. But is this quite true?
All, no! 1t is true that she sat there,
blind and deaf, but for her, in the
evening time it was light. And
although her bodily eyes were sight
less she Toasted continually on the
inefable g!ories of her Christ; and
although no longer able to hear the
sounds of earth, yet there was waited
to her soul, anon, by the gentle
breezes, some of the sweetest music
of heaven.
| She but sojourned on earth, while
she lived in heaven. Her work was
long since finished, and she sat down
to enjoy life's evening, and patiently
to wait for the dawning of a new
morning, when her soul should be
freed from this body of sin and death,
to be with God. I have often won
dered why God left her mere so long
after her appointed task was done,
especially when she was so we'll pre-
pared to go, and so anxious withal to
hear the summons to come home. It
was our desire that she might be
spared to see her hundredth birthday,
and she aOas, but it was not her desire
to stay even for such an event, for
the attractions for her were largely
on the other side. Her life, her
vision, her God consciousness, was a
constant source of inspiration to us
all, and that is why God let her stay
so long.
Tender and loving hands ministered
to her, through all her declining years,
and nought was left undone which
consecrated and loving thoughtful
ness could suggest to make her last
days happy days. How different was
her lot in this respect from the lot of
some, who in old age, neglected and
forgotten, wish themselves dead an
hundred times before they die. All,
such neglect is the saddeet of all
sights this world affords!
But with all the love which was
showered upon her, from those of her

HOW HYOMEI HELPS THE HEALTH
Kills the Germs of Grip. Catarrh
and Colds, "COsts Nothing If 1t
Fails" SAYS Ii. C. Pierce.

Now that Hyomei can be obtained
in nearly every town and city in the
country, it is possible to buy from
druggists health-giving climate, to
be carried in the purse or pocket.
By breathing it a few minutes four
times day you can coon cure grip,
coughs, colds and even the worst
and most chronic cases of catarrh.
e. @. Pierce has seen so many re-
markable cures made by the Hyomei
treatment, that he sells it with the
positive agreement to return the
money if it fails to cure.
A complete outfit costs but 81, and
consists of the pocket inhaler, medi-
cine dropper and sufficient Hyomei
to last several weeks.
1t effects a cure in the worst ca
tarrhal troubles and if breathed at
the commencement of a cold or the
grip, will check it quickly and prevent
sickness. Extra bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for SOC.
When breathed through the inhaler,
the germ killing and health giving
Hyomei goes to the most remote cells
of the throat and lungs, killing all the
catarrhal germs, soothing the irri-
tated mucuos membranes and vi
TALKING the blood with ozone.
At this season of the year, every
one should have a Hyomei outfit to
prevent and cure catarrhal troubles.

Dear Sir: This story cuts two ways and
teaches two sets of people.
Father Calvin, Westerly, r l, had his

and this is how he went at it.
Measured all carefully-seems to have
known Devoe.
Then got bids from the painters, paint to be
supplied by them and him.
Saved $40 by using Devoe.
One of those painters ought to have got
that money.

TROLLEY AS cUPlD's ALLY.
With Help Of Electric Lines the Little
God Has Smitten 80, 900 Hearts
in Winnebago Co., Ill.

Cupid has had a busy time in Winnie
bago county. Ill, for the last 60 years.
according to some interesting figures
that the county records show. The
little god has smitten no less than 30,-
900 people in that time, beginning in
1886, when he had but a single pair in
the whole year In the next year,
however, there were II weddings, and
II years later there were over 100 a
year At the half century mark there
were 318 year, and in 1900 the we'd
dings ran over half thousand. The
largest gain OF one year over the pre-
ceding year was in 1903, when there
was a gain of Ill weddings over those
OF 1902, the total of last year reaching
725.
II Cupid continues as motorman the
figures will soon be astounding.
One explanation for the large num-
Der of weddings in the county is that
large number of people from Wiscon-
sin go to Rockford to be married. That
town has become one OF the greatest
interurban centers in Illinois. Lines
now reach Belvidere Beloit and Free
port, and the trolley has been found to
be an appreciative adjunct to the mar
rage business when town shows any
sort of Gretna Green business.

oEsTIcULATIoN IN FASHION
Teachers Say Exactness Must Be OBJ
tanned or the Effect Is
Disastrous.

Gesticulation is the fashion now
says the New York Sun. Woman must
gesticulate to be in the swim. But she
must do it in correct manner.
1t is said that the most fashionable
people have taken to making gestures,
and therefore, of course, all woman
kind must paw the air. SO to speak.
Just any and every sticking about OF
the hands or motion of the head and
shoulders will not do. declare the
teachers of gesticulation, and they are
pretty thick nowadays. Gestures are
like the alphabet, they form a language
of their own.
These teachers furthermore say that
gestures are innate in the human be-
ing, like a terrible thirst or any other
old thing, and that they merely have
to be brought out and perfected by
those who have made deep study of
the subject.
Gesticulation, in its highest form,
must convey to person out Of earshot
a general understanding of a converse
ton that is being carried on.

GOODMAN TOO CLEVER.

The winning streak of Aurelia
Herrera, the Mexican. received a
shock on Thursday night when Her
rera met Kid Goodman, who defeat-
ed him on points at st Louis iii a
twenty round bout. Goodman was
too clever for the Mexican, who tried
his best to locate his man, but with
out success Herrera depended
chiefly on "a swing to end the contest
in his favor. He rushed several
times and aimed both hands for his
rivals jaw. But the best he could
do was to land around the neck. On
the other hand Goodman's blows were
accurate and reached the mark. Good
man was most effective with jabs.
So consistent were these efforts that
by the time the bout was ended Her
rera was in bad shane. One eye was
almost closed, his lips were swollen
and his face was badly cut up.

TO Meet-NcVey Knocked
Out by JOhnson-Mc Cow
ern'S Offer Declined.

Kid Mccoy, that will-o'- the-wisp
OF the middleweights, is at last
matched to fight Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien. The men came to terms in
Philadelphia yesterday. The bout is
to be pulled off in the Armory there,
and is to go the regulation Philadel-
phia limit-six rounds. May IA is
the date selected. The weight, as set
down In the articles, is to be 15S
pounds, the professional middleweight
limit. The men are to weigh in at
3 O'Clock on the day Of the contest.
Philadelphia should see a rafting
contest between these two men. They
have been anxious to get at each
other, since the recent meeting in
Philadelphia between Tommy Ryan
and O'Brien. in which, although
there was no decision, Ryan came out
slightly ahead. Mccoy helped train
p'Brien for that fight, and was be-
hind him during the contest. After
ward he made several charges
against Mccoy, and both men prompt
w engaged In bout through the me-
dunn of the newspapers.
The weight suits Mccoy and
O'Brden, both being able to weigh In
under 100 pounds and be strong.
And who do you think is going to
be referee?
Why. Thomas Sharkey, of Four
teenth street, Manhattan, If you
please. And it isn't any bad bet
that Thomas won't be in the fight
himself before the bout ends.

NO AMATEUR WORK.
Canadian Scuiler Scholes May Not BE

Toronto, April 23.--The reference
back of the entry Of Lou Scholes for
fhe diamond souls by the Henley
stewards 20 the Canadian Association
of Amateur Oarsmen may prevent the
Canadian champion taking part at Hen
ley this year. 1t is extremely doubt
full whether the Canadian association
will vouch for Scholes under the anna
teur definition of the Henley stewards.
The Canadian association, by its affili-
alton with the English association, cam
not, in fact, recommend Seholes, as 1t
engaged not to recommend as an anna
teur anyone who has ever been en-
ployed in manual labor for money or
employed for wages as mechanic,
artisan or laborer, or in any mental

SENATOR A REFEREE.

Jack Delaney, well known East
side lightweight boxer, was knocked
out Clearly in the third round of lit
tie go with Jack Dorman of The
Bronx, which was held early yesterday
morning at the Tecumseh cub house in
West Forty second street. State Sen
ator James J. F'rawey, who lives in
the Thirty second assembly district,
acted as referee to the satisfaction of
all concerned, and Assemblyman John
Hackett was the timekeeper. Peter
J. Dooling, leader of the district, and
about FIVE hundred other more or less
well known men about town packet
the big cub room to its capacity. They
saw rafting COOL fight. That is,
while it lastel. There were only two
rounds and a small part of a third be-
fore Deaney went Town and took the
count. 1t was hammer and tongs
from the word go, with the Bronx boy
forcing the fighting. Delaney held out
gamely while his strength lasted, but
he was clearly outclassed from the
start. Dorman had deadly left,
which he used for all it was worth,
and he was so shifty on his feet that
the East slider never seemed to be able
to find him. Twenty seconds before
the bell was due in this round Delaney
went to the boards under a crushing
swing on the jaw Senator Frawley
stood over the PROSTATE fighter and
counted the seconds, but the East side
boy was down and out. He was I'M
able to get back to his feet, and the
senator finally picked him up in his
arms and carried him to his corner.
The boys had for spectators one of
the best looking crowds ever seen in
town at fight. Most of them came
to the club house in autos or cabs,
and mauv Of them were in evening
dress. They began to arrive shortly
after midnight. There was not the
slightest sign of disorder.
