MARCUS A. HANNA.

The death of Marcus Alonzo Hanna,
a senator OF The state Of Ohio, removes
a most interesting figure from the po-
litical and financial fields Of this
country. He had already amassed a
great fortune in business enterprises
Of tremendous scope before turning his
attention to politics His opportunity
IN this field presented itself when
William McKinleys name was broach-
ed for the Republican nomination for
president in 1896 and It was probably
due more to NJ. Hanna's remarkable
capacity for organization and unremit-
ting exertions than to any other single
factor, that Mr.. Mckinley was nomi-
mated and subsequently elected.
Standing beside the bier OF the dead
senator partisanship is swept aside
and the people of all parties remem-
Der only that he was one of the worlds
great men, a patriot that truly loved
his country. a genius for political ac-
complishment master mind in the
field Of commerce and a friend of or
ganized labor.

Pullman Sleeping Car to St. Louis With
out Change.

To accommodate the largely increased
travel from Vermont to the Worlds Fair
at St. Louis that has been so apparent
during October, the Central Vermont
Railway company have put on a special
weekly Pullman tourist sleeping car. The
sleeper is attached to the train leav
ing White River Junction at 4.27 p m.
Thursdays and reaches St Louis at TAB
Saturday morning, running via Central
Vermont Railway, Grand Trunk Railway
system and Illinois Central railroad
The fact that this sleeper is filled with
visitors to the Worlds Fair every week
shows that the public is quick to recog-
nize this service as especially desirable.
1t only costs a nominal sum, (s3.25) for
a double berth accommodating two persons,
which, added to the low passage rate of
$24.00 for the round trip. does not make
a very expensive trip, considering you
are taken into Pullman at White River
Junction and landed into the city of st.
Louis without change of cars. Those de-
string to stop over at any point in Cana
da or at Niagara Falls, Detroit. Port HUI
ron or Chicago, may do so without extra
charge.

The Generous Medicine Man.

1t takes a pretty good man to fool the
average Putney citizen, but the Indian
medicine man in the town hall Saturday
to collect from his audience hatful of
one and two dollar bills. The medicine
man and two speciality artists came to
town Wednesday and gave an exhibition
in the town hall. The audience the first
night was small. The medicine man
sold some kind of a remedy for 20 cents
a box and afterwards gave back the
money to the purchasers of the remedy,
together with an equal amount from his
own pocket. He was equally generous
the next night and by Saturday night
his reputation for generosity was wide
spread, and he had large audience, all
expecting to get something for nothing.
This time he had a dollar remedy for
sale and promised to give each purchaser
a present out of the hat as he had done
before. People fell over themselves al
most in their eagerness to invest their
dollars, expecting to get their money back
with like amount in addition. After
everybody had invested the medicine man
pocketed the money. filled his hat with
distributed them as presents" according
to promise. The amount he took in is es-
timated at from $50 to 800. Those who in
vested are not saying much about 1t. The
medicine man apparently had met will
success before coming to Putney, for hC
had SO gold pieces for buttons on hi:

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littled doses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

VERMONT GAME LAWS.
important Changes Recommended by the
Fish and Game commlssoners-No
Bounty on Bears.


The fish and game commissioners.
Henry G. Thomas and Edward A. Davis,
recommend changes in the fish and game
laws as follows:
THAT a license fee of not less than SIS
or more than S25 be eXacted from nom
residents to hunt deer in Vermont during
the open season, and that residents pay
the sum of not less than 30 cents or
more than ST."
The commissioners further recommend
that moneys thus received shall be used
to pay persons whose crops have been
damaged by deer and to protect fish and
game; that no deer shall be shot unless
his horns can be distinctly seen, which
means that doe deer are not to be killed !;
that every person, who shoots a deer in
the open season be required to report
the kill to the commissioners, and that
penalties be provided for the punishment
of keepers or owners of dogs bred for
the purpose of deer hunting.
The commissioners would have nom
residents of the state pay a fee of not
less than SIS to hunt or shoot small game,
they would do away with automatic guns
in wild fowl hunting, prohibit the use OF
ferrets in rabbit hunting, forbid under
penalty the killing of more than 10 part
ridge during the open season, and would
protect streams and rivers from pollution
shunted into them by various kinds of
mills.
The commissioners are not in favor OF
a bounty on bears. To their minds the
| bear looms large as a game animal and
| should be preserved for the hunters. They
| advise a close season on fishing in lake
| Champlain, that the stocking of that body
! of water may progress more rapidly. Ter
pounds of trout in one day and "a bass ir
| the same time the commissioners think
should be about all that any angler should
be allowed to carry away.
