A BOOM FOR MORGAN HORSES
High Prices Paid for Vermont Stock
Col Joseph BattelI's Work.

Middlehnry, Jan. Sit Is doubtful if
any Of Vermont's industries can show
a healthier growth during the past
twelve months than that OF its Morgan
horse breeding industry. The demand
for Morgan horses from nearly every
section of the country has been brought
about largely by the nntiring efforts Of
Joseph Battell, Of this place, who has
given score Of years to the study and
breeding Of this strain Of horseilesh.
The result Of Mr.. BattelPs efforts in
these lines is strikingly shown in the
fancy figures that his Bread Loaf stock
commands Yearling colts are being sold
at $500 and upwards, while a gentlenan's
driving pair from this establishment will
cost from 1900 upwards.
During the past three or four months
the aggregate sales at Bread Loaf have
totailed about $1,000, while the orders
on hand for spring delivery of animals
to the Pacific coast and q list Of pro-
spective customers indicate d general
lreiuvenation of the Morgan breeding in
dustry during the coming season.
Several young breeding animals will
/ be shipped to the state Of Washington
the coming spring. 1t is from this
breeding establishment that Thomas M
Lawson got several Of his best Nor.
gans. During the past summer the wal
department purchased at Bread Loaf
three Of the best Morgan stations to BE-
found in this country for shipment q
the Philippines.

AN EXTRA
SESSION
President is Considering the
Need Of Quick Action
ON TARIFF AND RAILROADS
President just as Determined as Ever to
Bring About REIMBURSEMENT
of the Tariff
Rates.
ON TARIFF AND RAILROADS

New York, Jan. "A Washington
dispatch to the Tribune says:
President Roosevelt Ii seriously con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY Of calling Con-
gress together in extraordinary session
some time next summer, possibly about
June 1. He would prefer to have the
tariff revised this spring, but realizes
that there is not sufficient time in a
short session of Congress for the exhaus-
tive argument and deliberation that the
REIMBURSEMENT Of the tariff schedules
would entail.
After he had abandoned the hope Of
getting the desired legislation through
before March 4, the President inclined
to the belief that the subject could best
be settled by an extra session, to be
convened immediately after the adjourn
ment of the regular session, to continue
into the summer. This idea was greeted
with chorus Of protests from members
Of Congress. II they were to be called
in extraordinary session, they pleaded,
Why not call them together next fair
In the mean time they would have plen-
ty of opportunity to think things over,
and by October or November they would
be in state 81 fine preparedness for
the consideration Of revenue and pro-
lection.
The President IL now of the opinion
that perhaps a middle time course might
be steered with profit to the country
If the lawmakers are called here n June
just when the heated term begins, it has
been suggested that they might hurry
their work.
While the President ii just as much
determined as ever to bring about
revision Of tariff rates to meet pres
ent dav conditions he is much more IN
terested Just now in the question q
legislation on interstate commerce =
new law enlarging the powers Of thf
interstate commerce commission or pro.
viding for some equitable adjustment q
railroad rates IL not placed on the stat,
ute books at the present session OF Con
Qress it must be passed at the one which
win convene before next December.
The administration Is determined thai
the policy shall be carried ont, and nS
question brought up by interested par
ties to befog the issue will be allowed
to interfere with that programme

A METHOD.

When used to go to school-that was Ions
ago,
There was a most annoying boy that al
ways seemed to know
what the answer was. whate'er the ques
ton CHANGED to be-
Never got confused and scared and worried,
same as me-
Whence the class was catechised he wore
a smile most bland
And beat us ALL he was quick at holding
up his hand
And when the teacher called on him, his
memory might balk
But none the less he went ahead and made
little talk
The teacher always helped him out. and
never called his bluff
The interest he showed was such she
couldn't use him rough
And many man grows powerful an IA
nous in the land
By being quick to take the lead, and hold
ing up his hand

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, "is a plant
of slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form a foun-
dation for trust. In regard to
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, elias it cured 9TH
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it record above suspic-
ion? If so, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if am ever attacked
by any of the maladies for which
it is commended l shall resort
to it in full belief in its pow
er to help me- On these lines
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
has won its high reputation a.
mong medical men, and the
people of all civilized countries.
They trust it for the same reason
that they trust in the familiar
laws of nature or in the action
of common things. This effective
remedy is palatable as honey and
contains the nutritive and cura-
tive properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. 1t quickly e.
radicates the poisonous, disease
breeding acids and other toxic
matters from the system; regu-
lates and promotes the normal
action of the organs, gives vigor-
Gus appetite and digestion, and is
infallible in Prostration-follow-
ing Fevers, etc.. Scrofula, Infu-
enza, Asthma, Wasting Diseases,
Throat and Lung Troubles, etc.
DR.. W. A. Young, of Canada, says:
" Your tasteless preparation of
cod liver OF: has given me uni
formly satisfactory results, my
patients having been of all ages"
It is a product of the skill and
science of to-day and is success
full after the old style modes of
treatment have been appealed to
in vain Sold by all chemists
