more convenient.
The lists of United States and
state officials, officers of various state
associations and societies, and all
other information about Vermont
which has made Walton's Register
such handy book of reference for
so many years, will be found brought
fully up to date.

PuzzIInu Eluures and a Joke.

Put down the year you were BORN
add 4.
Then add your age at your next
birthday, provided it comes before
Jan. /; otherwise your last birth
day.
Multiply the result by 1000.
From this subtract 694,423.
Substitute for the resulting fig
ures the corresponding letters Of
the alphabet-A for /, B for 2. c
for 3, etc.
The result will give the name by
which you are popularity known.
This trick is given to suit the
year. 1905.
For 1906 and for every year after
that add an additional 1000 to the
amount to be subtracted-viz, for
1906 make it 695, 423, and so on.
Try this trick and see how it
works.

Woodstock, VT, Jan. IA, 1905

There is undated interest in the
fate of Mrs. Rogers, now in Windsor
prison under sentence Of death, both
in Vermont and beyond the borders
of the state. The legislature re-
fused to pardon or commute the SEN
tence, nevertheless there is a general
feeling that the last word has not
been said, and that the execution
may still be delayed.
The feeling in behalf Of Mrs. Rog-
ers is not altogether because she is a
woman. 1t is due quite as much to
repugnance to hanging to choking
a human being to death.
Attorney General Fits is credited
with saying that the matter is now
out Of the hands of Gov. Bell; that
he cannot stay the execution, but
this opinion is disputed by well
known lawyers. The election of an
attorney general has not changed the
constitution of the state, which says
that the governor and council Shall
have power to grant pardon and re-
init fines, in all cases whatsoever, ex-
lcept in treason and murder, in which
they, governor and council, shall
have power to grant reprieves, but
not to pardon, until after the end Of
the next session of the assembly;
and except in cases of impeachment
in which there shall be'no remission
or mitigation Of punishment, but by
act of legislature"
This may be read in more than
one way, but it was doubtless in
tended simply to take the pardonine
power from the governor and vest il
in the legislature.
There is little question but thai
Gov. Bell can stay the execution il
he wishes, as Gov. Fairbanks did in
the case of John P. Phair, without
any violation Of the constitution OF
presidents.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Whistle Buff Is a Merry Game to Play
at a Party.

at Fartys
Whistle buff is a sort of modified
blind mans buff, played, however,
without a bandage over the eyes and
without the romping element which
sometimes makes the well known
game Objectionable. A small whistle
is suspended from the coat collar OF
dress of one of the party by a piece
of Irvine or thread about half yard
long, which hangs down between the
shoulders. The '1Snight" or the
'lady" of the whistle, as the case
may be, then stands in the center
or walks slowly round the circle Of
the company. Some one, watching an
opportunity, seizes the whistle and
blows it shrilly, when the knight i'm
mediately turns to detect the Of
fender, and if he hits upon the right
person the latter must take his
place. AS the player turns to find
out one whistler another gives a
blow, and thus the game proceeds
merrily until some one less dexter.
Gus than the rest is caught.

Dry Cleaning Chiffon.

White chiffon washes perfectly,
but better way to clean it is by o
dry method. Use two parts of fine

ture well into it. Shake this out,
and sprinkle literally with clean
flour and borax. Cover and leave
overnight. The next day brush and
shake every particle of powder from

Berry Wall, said to be the best

1925 Charles l. assembled the throne

founder of the present Manchu dyn-

Mukden. At that time the Pilgrim
fathers had barely settled themselves
comfortably at Plymouth, while in all

American there were hardly enough
white people to make good sized

Mukden was an ancient capital and
its inhabitants and all who lived under
the protection of it's walls were a
highly civilized and prosperous folk.
Seven hunderd years before Christ
the Prince of Pohai (whoever he may
have been) had valuable possessions in
Manchuria and especially in Mukden.
Before that prince there were scores
of other warriors and potentates who
ruled the city or drew tribute from it.
The origin of Mukden is wrapped in
the veil of antiquity. All we know
