royal consent, private penny post,
placing boxes at the corners OF the
streets for the reception OF letters
wrapped in envelopes bought at offices
established for that purpose. NJ. de

she passed the open door of Heath's
room she saw the body in a sitting po-
sition on the door, the back resting
against the wall The hands were
folded across the breast, and the shot
gun rested against the folded hands.

her way to Sea Clifr and told OF the
tragedy

1 sArlsFAcroRY AUTOMOBILE

LAW.
Public opinion seems to be solidifying
IL Vermont respecting the use and abuse
Of the automobile and the other motor
vehicles, and the impression seems to
be growing stronger that the machines
cannot b ruled from the thoroughfares
but that they can b restricted III i
manner to insure the safety Of other
users Of the roads. That is the only
sane conclusion that can &c reached; ii
IS illogical to argue that this machine
the outgrowth OF an advanced ciyiliza-
ton, can be refused the nse of Vermont
roads simply because for the time being
some Of the equines Of the state are
frightened BY the red devil" A little
