No Drunken Carnival.

The licensed hotels and saloons on
the West Lebanon, N. H., side of
the river near White River Junction,
will be closed for the next two years
at least. The licenses expired Sun
day, April 80, the town having voted
no license last fall. 1t is barely pos
sible though not probable, that the
state license commissioners may
grant an inn-keeper's license to one
of the hotels as they have the power
to do in any no-license town in New
Hampshire at their discretion. 1t
was predicted that there would be a
regular carnival Of drunkenness in
West Lebanon last week, but the
village maintained its usual quiet
and good order.

Forestry in Vermont.

"The number Of owners Of waste
lands in this state who would plant
600 trees in October in order to es-
cape the taxation on those lands
could be housed in very small
room," says the Rutland Herald.
Yet this is the most practical plan
the legislature seemed able to devise
for the reforesting of the waste lands
of the state. 1t provides in brief
that all waste or uncultivated lands
which shall be planted with timber
forest trees under rules prescribed
by the state forester shall be exempt
from taxation for a period of ten
years, commencing on the first day
of April in the second year after such
lands have been planted. The rules
provide that the owner of the land
must not only plant trees but he
must keep 80 per cent of them alive
for five years, and must protect them
from fire.
The benefits of very general, or
partial, adoption Of this suggestion
would DO great, but is the average
farmer or waste land owner going to
take advantage of it? No matter
what the necessities of the case may
be, he looks for some immediate adj
vantage, and the legislature offers
little for his outlay.
A better plan, as the Herald sug-
gests, is to save the trees we have
now while waiting to see how the
new plan turns out. "The wise thing
for our Legislature to dois to prevent
the telling of forest trees without
special license. Nature did marvels
for Vermont, but Vermonters are
neutralizing these attractions as fast
as cupidity and stupidity can do the
act"

HENRY SWAN DANA.

Henry Swan Dana died at his home
in Woodstock, VT, on Thursday
morning, May 4, 1905. He was 81
years of age, having been born Oct.
II, 1923. He had an attack of the
grip in March, from which he did
not fully recover, and had been grow
ing weaker during the spring; but
his death was caused by no specific
disease. He was walking about the
village on the Saturday before his
death almost as alert of mind as
ever to one who met him casually.
He suffered no pain at the end, and
was unconscious from Monday after
noon until his death.
Henry Swan Dana was the seventh
of the eight children of Charles and
Mary Gay Dana and was the last
survivor of the family. He was edu-
Gated in Woodstock schools, in the
Kimball Union Academy at Mer-
iden, N. H., and in Dartmouth Col
lege, where he graduated in l840.
After graduation he went immedi-
ately to the South, where he lived
for eight years, most of the time act
ing as private teacher to the family
of Judge King Of Charleston, S. @
He returned to Woodstock in 1857
and has lived here ever since.
For 4S Years he has been a famil.
lar figure on our streets. He fitted
number of young men for college
and gave private lessons to many
young men and women. For several
years he was register of probate fol
this district. For many years he
was on the village school committee
and helped to give high standing tc
the local schools. He was for long
time deacon in the Congregations.
church and in the Sunday school has
for more than a generation conduct
ed class of young men and women
His life was a very quiet one. His
one absorbing passion was his books
He was one Of the contributors tt
the first great unabridged Web
ster's dictionary; wrote most com
plete history of Woodstock, and die
some other literary work. But hif
influence has been chiefly fell
through the young men and womer
whom he taught. They have gooC
cause to remember him through the
ideals of thoroughness and breadth
of scholarship which he gave them
In the village he was always an
influence on the side of wholesome
and simple life. Though he had
read widely-and in philosophy
theology and literature especially
was familiar with all the best, and
kept his old fondness for and easy
mastery of Greek and Latin to the
very end-his learning was never
displayed save as good occasion
brought it forth.
Every one about here knew him
loved and respected him and lament
that time had brought him to the
fullness Of years and then the end.

Trout Farming.

The enterprise OF the West Brat

source of profit from raising brook
trout for market, might we'll be en-
ulated by others in all parts of this
state. Certainly the natural condi-
tons here for trout raising are I'M
surpassed. There are plenty of
springs giving the necessary pure
cold water; the slope of the land is
sufficient to keep the water from be-
coming stagnant; small ponds and
waterfalls can easily be constructed ;
and by marketing the trout at from

farm profits. Why not try it2-Lon-

Dogs Chasing Deer.

Last week Friday afternoon a deer
was found disabled in the pasture OF
H. {. Benson, near East Bethel.
After leaving it to go the telephone,
Mr.. Dutton could not find it, but
later it was discovered lying in the
water of a brook in an adjoining
meadow. 1t was feared that the
hind legs were broken, but later it
was decided they were not, but that
the deer was exhausted and must
have been chased by dogs. The
continuous barking of dogs had been
heard.

A Frenchman goes into raptures over
the wlldness of the scenery and the
beauties of nature and sometimes ac-

the latter, in being pushed around

bled over the one lying down. AS
she could not get up, the first heifer
was pinned down and choked to
