Purify
Your Blood

The cause of all pimples,
boils and other eruptions, as
well as of that tired feeling
and poor appetite, which are
so common at this season, is
impure blood blood that is
diseased and impoverished by
humors, morbid or effete mat
tiers, which should be gotten
rid of without delay.
The best way to purify the
blood, as thousands know, is
to take Hoods Sarsaparilla

Worldwide experience con-
firms the statement that these
great medicines make the
blood pure and rich, clear the

feeling, improve the appetite,

A Pleasing Entertainment.

A very pleasing entertainment was given
In Williams hall Monday evening for the
benefit OF the Ladies' AID society OF the
Methodist church, which realized a profit
of over SIP A bright and interesting
program was unfolded, consisting OF mu-
sic. living statuary and readings.
Miss Mabel Hamilton, instructor in elo-
cution at Montpelier seminary, was the
reader and made very favorable impress
sion upon the audience. She has an at
tractiye stage presence and an agreeable
voice. and her selections, which we're well
chosen, were admirably delivered.
Those accomplished young pianists,
Misses Ruby and Una Allen, played duets
in briliiancy of style rarely equalled by
Older musicians. and Miss Ruby was also
the accompanist OF the evening. The solo
work Of Glenn Bailey, cornetist, was much
enioyed. and the flute solos Of Rev. W. T..
Suarhawk were among the best features Of
the program.
The sweet soprano voice Of Miss Lettie
Bailey was delight as usual, aud good
selections were given by a quartet, com
posed Of Glenn and Miss Lettie Bailey,
Mrs. Alice Fisher and l. p. Naille.
Between the musical numbers came the
living statuary pictures, very beautiful
poses by young ladies, who in the green
light might easily have been mistaken for

tree must be In a perfectly healthy
state and 1t must be Of good proper
tons.
The farmer welcomes the grown-up-
tree man. Very often a farmer that
has made poor year Of it in crops
pulls out ahead by selling some trees
that he never save any thought to. For
the small six-inch trees 81 and So IS
paid, but when it comes to the eight
een-inch ones $40 to $15 and sometimes
as high as $25 is paid. One farmer the
other side Of Depew got So apiece for
nineteen trees that were on his place.
He would have let them go for SIS
apiece if his wife hadn't disapproyed Of
the idea of selling them at all. AT her
behest he put off the tree man for
few days. When the tree man came
again, very anxious to get the trees,
the farmer again adjourned the pros
pective sale and made some inquiry rs
to what trees were being sold for. AS
a result the tree man had to treble his
offer before the bargain was made.
They were exceptionally fine trees and
just happened 70 be what one Of the
customers of the tree man wanted.
The tree man has special cart for
transporting the trees. 1t is a patent
ed vehicle built in sections, with u
chute into which the tree can be easily
lowered. and from which it can be
easily slid into the hole at the other
end of the route.
All the transplanted trees usually
are guaranteed for three years. Very
few Of them die, for the planting is
done by men who thoroughly under
stand their business, and they are well
cared for afterward If transplanted
tree will live for three years it will
live as long afterward as it would in
it's natural place, says the grown-up-
tree man.

Knew Where He Was

A sketch Of a memorial statue Of
Thomas B. Reed, proposed to be erect
ed in his native city of Portland,
Maine, represents Reed in the act Of
making speech, one foot firmly
planted little In advance Of the other
A certain paper makes the remark that
such an attitude is not characteristic
OF the man, for whatever Reed willed
to do 'he always got there with both
feet A conversation illustrative Of
Mr.. Reeds sureness Of poise was cur
rent more than ten years ago.
Some one asked him how he felt
while the uproar about the rules Of the
Fifty-frst Congress was going on and
while the question was in doubt.
II knew exactly what 1 was going
to do if the House did not sustain me-"
he replied. when a man has decided
upon a plan Of action for either contin-
gency he has no need to be disturbed
Did you ever think what a soothing
thing it is to know exactly what you
are going to do if things do not go
your way? You have then made your
self equal to the worst. and have only
to wait to find out what was ordained
before the foundation of the earth"
"But how did you feel when the tu-
multi was the highest?"
"Just as you would feel if a big
creature was jumping at you and you
knew just the length of the chain and
were quite sure of the weapons at
hand"
1t was this sureness of footing
which gave the iron-willed man his
marked serenity Of temper.

Enriching Experience.

Why has art so large a place in the
lives Of the Japanese? Perhaps be-
cause they begin to teach art early in
life.
In a recent trip round the world the
eminent English surgeon, Sir Freder-
lex Treves. spent considerable time in
Japan. On the occasion of his visit
to famous temple the only living
creature met with in the temple
grounds was an old woman carrying a
golden-faced baby-her grandson.
"Why have you come to a place so
solitary?" Sir Frederick asked.
II thought it would do the baby good
to see the plum blossom" the old wom-
an replied, with the soft urbanity Of
her race.

the aristocratic company he brought
together in the late Northern Securi.

The Duke of Connaught, brother Of
King Edward and son Of Queen Vic
toria, appears as the owner Of 1921
shares, and his wife, the duchess, rs
the owner Of 5,711 shares. Reckon
ing these 6,998 shares at 100 the Con-
naughts had the neat sum Of $1,119,-
$50 invested in Northern Securities. 1t
is not strange that their royal highness-
es became a little anxious while the
paying Of dividends was enjoined, a
state which, we are told, was happily
relieved by Mr.. Hill advancing the div
idends out of his own pocket.
Two other ducal families are stock
holders-his grace Of Argyll, with 100
shares, and her grace Of Buckingham
and Chandos, with fifty shares. The
Marquis of Lansdowne, Great Britain's
foreign secretary, has $3.50 shares,
worth $500, in his name.

advent OF wildcat Pete" was an un-
welcome surprise.
But while the presence Of the des-
perado was looked upon by the citizens
Of Blank with disfavor, still he stayed
and did about as he pleased. TO tell
the truth, the marshal was afraid of
him, and the public generally found 1t
necessary to take time to consider.
Therefore Wildcat Pete" remained, a
thorn In the flesh Of Blanks prosper
ity.
He was clustering, domineering,
loud-voiced individual; and although
this is not the distinguishing trait of
the real dad man." to back 1t up he
proved himself mighty quick with a
gun.
On Saturday morning the proprie-
Tor Of the general store of Blank was
returning to It, after rather late
breakfast. AS he walked up Main
street, he noted that ahead Of him the
thoroughfare seemed oddly deserted.
Pedestrians and horsemen and team
sters were showing strange partial
ity for the side streets. One might
have thought that a portion Of the
street was plague-stricken. 1t was.
AS the merchant, wondering, adj
vanced, presently he beheld the figure
OF man sQuatting tailor-fashion in
the middle Of the road. 1t was wild
cat Pete" There he was sitting calm
~, arms folded, but with a six-Shooter
in each hand; and whenever anybody
walking or riding drew near he digni-
f1edly waved them back They went.
lie owned the street. They sought an
6ther. 1t was just bad mans fan
cy, but 1t had to be respected.
However the merchant frowned. He
was annoyed. Pete had stationed him.
self exactly in front Of the store,
which possessed the only piece Of side
walk In town. When one has gone to
the expense Of a sidewalk in the COM
munity, he does not relish having its
attractive force rendered null and void
so that some freakish wight may pose
as a real estate car.
The merchant was amiably suffered
to enter his store; but If he was pre-
pared to greet customers, he was pre-
pared In vain. Custom was emphati-
cally at low ebb. Several prospective
buyers hove In sight, as the merchant
kRANl bit Pete &randly waved them
