he had written down monkey vocab-

Prof. Garner can make a strange
monkey drink by saying q certain
word, and with another word he can
make it eat and with another he can
brighten it, etc.
But Sir Richard Burton could do all
these things. too. His vocabulary.
Furthermore, was larger than Mr.. Gar

Ernst Haeckel, the great German
scientist, is in hearty sympathy with
the study Of the monkey language.
He says he believes firmly that such
a language exists.

Did jail Bird Have a valsta

Harry Mccormick, whose trial gave
rise to the story that John Ketchum, a
convict, was allowed a valet in jail was
convicted Saturday by a jury after six
minutes OF elaboration. He was charged
with breaking jail. His defence was that
he simply walked away, finding the Mid
dlebury jail door open while confined there
on the charge OF forgery. He pleaded
guilty to two Of the five counts OF the
forgery indictment and sentence was de-
ferred.
was speedily eclipsed by public surprise
over the story that Ketchum, a United
States prisoner and high finance"
banker, who is serving a seven years
term for completely in the wrecking Of
the Vergennes Farmers National bank
was permitted to ease penal servitude by
luxurious life and the attendance of a
valet
1t was also claimed that Banker Ket-
chum was allowed to serve as turnkey in
the Jail when a prisoner He was repre-
sented as having the run of the prison
and to have admitted visitors and to have
let them out
The youth who is said to have been his
valet Is one Henry Davis, a native Of
Malta, where his family is wealthy and
influential. He was brought to Vermont
by soldiers who had served in the Philip
pines. Ketchum and Davis had a quarrel
when the bank wrecker accused the lad OF
forging his name to a 81 check. Davis
was arrested and the case mol pressed
Mr. Cobb the jailer, says Ketchum never
had key to the jail, never admitted or
released a prisoner unless asked to do So
but that he was handy about the place,
having done similar work at Burlington"

Augustus J. Crotto, Ga, Of Sudbury,
committed suicide Friday by throwing
himself in front OF the 1918 train as It
was pulling out OF the Brandon station
Death was instantaneous, the wheels of
the engine passing over his body. Mr.
Crotto, who was a contractor and builder
was on his way to Nergennes, to look after
some business there. He drove to Bran
don from Sudbury and intended to take
the train north. He appeared uneasy and
preoccupied and just before the train
reached the station was seen to walk
along the track and get behind pile of
lumber. When the train pulled out he
suddenly threw himself upon the track
The train had not reached the end OF the
yard but was rapidly gaining speed and
the engineer was powerless to avoid run
ming over the man. The train was stop
ped at the length OF three cars but the
engine had passed entirely over the body
about midway, nearly severlng both
arms and both legs and crushing the
skull Mr.. Crotto was a man highly re-
spected in the community in which he
lived and where he owned a home. For
the past few months he had been Ill with
stomach trouble. which induced melan-
cholia, from which he had been suffering
for some time. He is survived by a wife
and two daughters.

The 2oo,oooth Prescription at George e
Greene's Pharmacy.

George E. Greene's pharmacy celebrated
In an informal way Tuesday the COM
pounding of its 200,00Oth prescription.
The public was invited to call at the store
and soda, cigars, ETC., were served free.
The store was trimmed for the occasion
with streamers of crepe paper and with
various appropriate signs painted by w.
r. Stuart Displayed in the north window
were the certificates OF registration in
Vermont held by George E. Greene,
Wilfred F. Root and Ned c. Ray, also
Mr.. Roots certificate of registration in
Massachusetts and his commission as a
member of the Vermont state board of
pharmacy. There were also in that win
dow the United States Pharmacopoeia,
labeled Our ST 1ard", and some crude
drugs together with the following notice:
THE most reliable crude drugs that
money can buy and the skillful manu-
facture of their preparations is the
secret Of our success" In the south win
dow were exhibited the prescription books
containing all the prescriptions ever COM
pounded in the store. The first and the
200, O00th prescriptions were displayed to
public view. The first, compounded in
May 1878, was issued by Dr. George F.
Gale to George A. Hines, and the 20O,-
OOOth was issued by DR.. c. r. Aldrich
Mr.. Greene compounded the first and the
10O,OOOth, but he was away when the
200, 00Oth was compounded A placard
the largest prescription business in the
state" sign over the middle OF the
store bore the dates 1878 and 1905 and
the sentence: Tuesday, June 90 we
compounded our 200, 0OOth prescription"
Another sign was that of a hand pointing
to the prescription room and reading:
In that room there have been compound
ed 100000 prescriptions" The front Of
the prescription room is the same now
as when the store was opened, but the
rear has been changed somewhat by en-
largement Someone has done a little
figuring and has found that zoe, 900 pre-
scriptions since May, 1878, means one
prescription for every As minutes for
Is hours a day, Sundays included. This
is fine testimonial of the confidence of
the public in the excellence of Mr..
Greene's goods and the care used in
their preparation, and bears out the fact
which everyone knows, that the words
"Greene's Pharmacy" are household
words throughout this county and the
bordering towns in adjoining states.

the real test of the day. Both men have

played the more brilliant game, earning
more of the aces, but his effort to wear
Seaver out was unavailing. Niles had his
unsteady periods, and his nets and outs
were taken full advantage of by Seaver
For two sets, 1t was a great match,
Seaver winning the first set, IS, and

Rev. Mr.. Osgood offered prayer and read
some verses which were written by Mrs.
Davenport several years ago and which
were published at that time, which show
ed her moGherly affection and tenderness
Of heart. They were entitled Loves
Measure"
My girl of nine, and my boy of two,
What do they measure and weigh, asked
you?
All well: the locks of gold scarce reach
my waist,
The locks of brown just touch my heart
Nesting under mothers breast
Like birding safe in its downy nest;
And sixty pounds" claims my lassie true,
'Frirty- lisps my laddle Of
two.
Pounds and inches are easy to tell
Can you measure love as well?
Yours for them, theirs for you,
This lassie of nine, this laddie Of two
Pounds and inches we all may know,
Can we weigh heart of gold or souls like
snow?
And a truly love" as the children say,
Is deeper than oceans and higher than
stars
My love for my babies or theirs for me
| cannot measure or tell to thee.
Can measure the love in those clasping
arms
Or the love that comes with the clinging
kiss?
Can tell you in pounds, cen the small
est part
OF the love that fills my aching heart?
Ny heart that aches with its weight OF
love
love that is born in Heaven above.
Their love for me is different thing,
they are babies now, what the years will
bring
Twixt them and me. God knows, and He
alone.
And lean only pray, that they'll be
true,
My lass Of nine-my laddie Of two.

Chicago, Americas Wonder City.
ILeslie's Weekly

Chicago in 1905 is the fourth city in the
world in point OF population and wealth.
The only towns which lead 1t are Lon
don, New York and Paris. Canton is
sometimes assigned a larger population,
but this is estimated. for there has never
been any census taken OF its population.
Berlin has Just crossed the 1900, 900 mark
In inhabitants, but 1t is safe to assume
that Chicago is ahead of the German
metropolis. It. is likely to keep ahead,
Notwithstanding the wonderful growth
of that capital, unexampled in Europe's
annals.
Nearly all the worlds great cities
Paris, Berlin, st. Petersburg, Vienna,
Madrid, and others,-are far inland.
Even London, the nearest to deep water
of all of Europe's great capitals, is over
60 miles distant from the sea. New York
is the only city of commanding impor-
lance in any civilized country which is
I'm sight Of the ocean. Chicago feels that
some time II will have the same pre-
eminence in the United States that Ber-
lin has in Germany or St Petersburg in
Russia 1t is growing faster than New
York, has several suburbs which 1t ex-
ten years, and figures that it win pass
New York by 1850. Ten or fifteen years
prior to that date New York will have
passed London, so that II Chicago ever
beats the metropolis on the Hudson she
will be the greatest of the worlds cities,
as she is already the most marvellous Of
them in her sudden rise and swift ex-
panslon.
