New Building in Rutland.

Surveyors have started to set levels
for the excavation work which will be
begun in several days, on the new West
street block which IS to be built by W.
II. Wright and G. II. Young Of Brandon
and which is to be called the "Gryphon.
The block viii occupy the site of the old
Central house. Work on the new build
ING, which viii be one of the finest bush
ness blocks in this part. Of the state,
will be under the supervisor of Architect
a. H. Smith and it Is hoped that the
structure will be rushed to completion
fast enough to allow Of its being ready
for occupation by January J.
The building will be a three story
structure with 100 feet frontage on
West street and 90 feet deep. It will
consist of four stores on the ground floor,
each 25x90 feet, and 16 large offices on
the second floor. The third floor will
probably be rented for lodge or society
rooms and will be partitioned of as may
be desired.

Witnessed Biblical Tragedy.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
tells of a little girl whose statements
were always exaggerated until she be-
came known in school and Sunday school
as "a little liar" Her parents were
dreadfully worried about her and made
strenuous efforts to correct the bad
habit One afternoon her mother over
heard an argument with her playmate,
Willie Bangs, who seemed to finish the
discussion by saying emphatically: I'm
older than You, cause my birthday comes
first, in May, and yours don't come
until September"
"Oh, Of course your birthday comes
first" sneeringly answered little Nellie
@but that Is cause you came down first;
] remember looking at the angels when
they were making you"
Come here, Nellie; come here in
stantly," cried her mother.

you tell such awful stories. Remember

a man is very careful with his hogs-re-

bedding, does not allow them TO have
filthy pens and does not have too many

is usually no need for a dip. But under
prevailing conditions, the small outlay
IN cost is insignificant for value received.
A swine grower says he has had great
success in using Ienolem for both hog

less than any other dip
