The Oriuinal Buccaneers.

Originally buccaneers were peaceful
English, French and Dutch settlers in
the Spanish West Indies, and they re.
ceived their name on account Of their
custom of drying their meats, in the
Indian fashion, on buccan or hurdle.
The Spaniards resented strongly the
intrusion of these foreigners. and
made many attempts to oust them, but
the buccaneers were a hardy set OF
men and crack shots with the mus
kets, so they successfully resisted all
the Spaniards' attacks and obstinately
remained in the islands. What it was
that caused the buccaneers to abandon
their comparatively peaceful mode OF
living and take to piracy 1t is hard to
say. Possibly the constant marrying
to which they were subjected by the
Spaniards prompted them to retaliate.
but, whatever the reason, their depre.
dations soon rendered the passage of
the Caribbean sea an undertaking of
extreme danger to merchantmen and
the word buccaneer has come down
as a synonym for robbery, murder and
all the vices.

Unanimous For Improvement.

In a recent report State Commis-
sioner Macdonald, Of Connecticut, says
that State is almost unanimous for
road improvement" Since 1895, when
State aid was adopted, 162 out OF a
possible 16S towns have had improve
ments made under that plan. The ap-
propriations made by the State have
steadily increased. successive legisla-
lures having appropriated s150,OO0.
$500, 900. $35O,0O0 and S450,OOO. Over
500 miles of roads Lave been construct
ed. He says: Our work in Connecti-
cut is so similar in character to that
embodied in the various bills for Ma
tional aid that must express my graf
iGcation that the matter has been taken
up by the United States Government.
1 have always taken the position that
the public highway is a public posses
sion, and that the public in general
should pay for its improvement"

THE JAPANESE AT hOnE.

OF particular interest are the photo
graphs of Japan which are shown in
the May Delineator in the series
Around the World in Eighty Pictures.
They are not of martial character,
of which there is an abundance at this
time. but they give an excellent idea OF
the home life and occupations Of the
brave little yellow people and of the
beautiful country in which they live.
Although the Japanese have made
rapid strides toward progress in the
last decade their civilization Is still
curious to Western eyes. 1t is strange
mixture Of the modern and the old Or
der OF things, and over all the native
picturesqueness Of the people. The
photographs are from the collection OF
young bride who is making the grand
tour. One of special interest is a
view Of Seoul, Corea.

George E. Greene Guarantees to Re.

Cure the Worst Case of catarrh.

II is no uncommon thing to see 6
medicine advertised as guaranteed
cure" But investigation usually
shows that the guarantee is made by
some unknown firm. hundreds of
miles away.
The guarantee, though, that comes
with Hyomei is entirely different. 1t
is made by George E. Greene, one of
the most reliable drug firms in this
section. He advertises that if Hyomei
does not cure the worst case of ca
tarrh, he will return the money with
out any question or argument. No
business house in Brattleboro has
better reputation for square dealing
than George E. Greene, and when he
guarantees that he will refund the
money If Hyomei fails to cure catarrh,
no one has any question as to the
agreement being lived UP to, both in
the spirit and letter.
Hyome Is very easy and pleasant
to use Just breathe it through the
little inhaler that comes with every
outfit; every breath win bring recov-
cry so much the nearer. 1t kills all
the germs of catarrhal troubles in the
air passages of the head, throat and
lungs. soothes and heals the irritated
membrane, and Is the only
natural cure for catarrh.
The complete outfit costs but one
dollar and extra bottles Of Hyomei
can be obtained for fifty cents. Do
not let slight catarrhal trouble de- |
felop into one that may be serious |
md chronic. Use Hyomei at once, re-
that you run no risk /
whatever when you try Hyomei on

The way in which some newspapers
choose governors in the abstract, de-
clarlng for poor" man. or a good
man or total abstainer" or other
wise, as canonical tastes may dictate
brings to mind an incident of choos-
ing a superintendent of schools in a
Massachusetts, town, a few years ago.
The office had been newly created and
certain members of the school board
had lofty ideals as TO the sort of a
man needed to fill it. At a meet
ing devoted TO the consideration of
candidates, those members had defined
the qualifications in a candidate that
they should insist upon, when a GER
tain hard headed old doctor on the
board expressed himself as follows:
Gentlemen, have noted with much
interest the qualifications you have
declared as necessary in a man to fill
this position. l am sure that you will
fail to find such a man. In fact, l
have never heard OF but one such
man, and he was SO misunderstood by
the people among whom he labored
that they gave him the death Of

That Prohibition Explanation.

ton of Vermonts landslide against
the sale Of liquor as due to the fact
that they have been unable to walk

times drunkards were left to roam

turns, only seven Vermont towns

ed to read "52 towns" and the men

hood of the state returning to prohibit
ton than repudiating its debt In
state the internal revenue
certificate generally means a saloon of
the worst type, and the reduction of
these licenses within a year from 577
to less than half that number shows
that an open sale Of liquors is pre-
eerred to the speak-eGsy.

Has II Been Made a Scapeeoat7
montpelier Argus. ]


One would think. from the objection
some newspapers are making to the
Brownlow bill for improving the high
ways in the states. that some new and
dangerous principle of government
was being advocated. The old ques-
ton OF internal improvements was
settled long ago. The government
AIDS the states every year in the i'm
provement of river and harbors, and
pays the entire cost itself. Vermont
gets comparatively little from the
river and harbor appropriations, but
makes no objections to them. The
federal government built some great
highways before the time of the rail-
roads and paid the entire cost itself.
Would there be so much objection to
the Brownlow bill in Vermont II the
government were to pay the whole
cost? Or is this clamor raised because
Clement advocates the bill?
