Virtue is not to be measured bv os-
tentauous giving. There is frequently
more real love for humanity in the soul
or the man who removes the banana
skin from the pavement than in the
heart OF the donor of the memorial

all other faults and virtues, may be-
come habitual. 1t is surprising how
many small acts OF kindness, how
many little deeds OF helpfulness. one
may do in the course of n day when
there are inclination to be kind and

Proverbs


When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is 50 perfectly adapted
TO their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Will Try to Secure Reprieve
For Mrs. Rogers.
NEW FOUND EVIDENCE
Says that with This Evidence No
Jury Would Have Mrs.
Rogers Hanged

Rutland, Jan 3l.-If Mary Rogers
is executed at Windsor Friday it will
certainly be no blemish on Rutland,
for one Of its attorneys is determined
to do all in his power to stay the exc.
cution, and yesterday both wrote and
telegraphed Gov C. J. Bell, asking for
a respite that new evidence maybe in
troduced.
7. W. Moloney stated yesterday that
he has received petitions from Mrs
William Blickensderfer OF Stamford,
c., and also from Boston, New Yoik
and Vermont people, asking him to do
all possible in the matter, but he said
that he was acting solely for himself.
Mr. Moloney stated last night that
he believed it would be an outrage to
hang Mrs Rogers. He said that he is
opposed to capital punishment, but
that perhaps there is sometimes an ex-
cuse for hanging man, but never so
in case of q woman.
Last night Mr. Moloney telephoned
Montpelier TO see if Gov Bell was
there. He was not, and so the attor.
ney wrote and also telegraphed TO
him at his home in Warden, asking
for reprieve, which Mr. Moloney
says the governor has power to grant
in murder cases, despite the fact that
some talk otherwise. MIR Moloney
says that from authoritative sources
he has been assured that testimony
which could not be introduced to the
trial of Mrs Rogers is obtainabIe, and
that some of this he himself knows
about. He says that he believes nc
jury, having this evidence at hand,
would convict Mrs Rogers of murder
in the first degree.
Mr. Moloney received no reply to
his telegram last night, but believed
Gov Bell would accede to the petition
II he does, the case may come up al
the present or the May term of tn,
Supreme court, or special session
may be called.
The attorney stated last night tina
he would have acted sooner, but h,
expected that Boston lawyers would
intercede. Now that he has taken the
matter up, he said that he was de
termined to use every means at hi'
command, even II he had to go ant
see the governor.
Mr. Moloney will leave for Montpe
lier at o'clock this afternoon, wher,
he will remain until Wednesday night

THREATENS GOVERNOR.
The BLACK Hand Sends Letter to Governor
Bell.

st Johnsbury, Jan. 30.--It can be
stated on good authority that unless
new developments arise Governor Bell
will not interfere with the execution of
the sentence of Mrs Mary Rogers of
Bennington, who is condemned to be
hanged in the state prison at Windsor
next Friday, Feb. 3, for the murder of
her husband Marcus Rogers.
The governor denies emphatically
the statement made in certain news
papers Saturday that he would witness
the execution of Mrs Rogers. He says
while he will not attempt to deny all
the false reports appearing in the met
ropolitan papers, he will deny this par
ticular one, as he never has had thel
remotest idea of attending the execus
ton.
The governor has received hundreds
of letters 10 favor of and opposed TO
the granting of reprieve to Mrs Rog-
ers. He has just received one signed
1.-THE Black Hand" written in red and
black ink, and mailed at Chicago,
threatening him with a dreadful fate

case than those who ask for it.

PLANS FOR EXECUTION.
Practically Completed At Windsor and Tickets
Given Out.

Windsor, Jan 3l:-Deputy Wilson
S. Lowell will arrange every detail Of
the execution on Friday. He may
spring the trap. or he may not. Sher-
id Peck will not say positively about
this detail.
Eighteen deputies will be within the
prison besides the prison officials.
Sheriff Peck will read the death war
rant to Mrs Rogers on Thursday.
On that day also the gallows will be
again set up in the west wing of the
prison where the execution will take
place.
The location of the death cell Is
such that possibly Mrs Rogers will
hear the hammering necessary to the
erection OF the gallows, though heavy
door and considerable distance are
between the site OF the gallows and the
cell.
1t is the same gallOws on which Syl.
vester Bell and Mrs Meaker were exc
cuted, but owing to MRS Rogers
weight, which Sheriff Peck Is informed
is about ITO pounds, unusual precau-
tions will be taken.
To reach the gallows Mrs Rogers

will have to ascend a Eight OF open
stairs which is part of the framework
of the gallows. DR. Brewster, the pris-
on physician and DR. o. w. Daley of
White River Junction will be present.
Sheriff Peck has issued limited
number of tickets to prominent Ver-
mont citizens, to his deputies and
about IA to press representatives.
Every person entering the building
will be searched for camera or any
device to produce picture. Sheriff
Peck says every precaution will be Ia
ken to prevent a picture being made.
Sheriff Peck will return to White
River Junction each night until Thurs
day when he will remain at the hotel
here.
The sheriff has not as yet received
instructions as to what disposition
will be made of the body.
The waiting room In the Windsor
railroad station will be turned into
big telegraph Office on Friday. A long
table will be placed in the center. Sew
en- telegraph instruments will be plac-
ed thereon and seven of the fastest op-
orators will be here to handle the mes
sages OF newspaper men. No telephone
or other wires will be allowed on the
state prison premises and the telephone
in the prison will be temporarily cut
out.
Every room in the local hotel was
reserved weeks ago and more than %
rooms are rented in private homes
about the town.

STRANGE THINGS FOUND.
Mistake in Charters Of St Adams and Barre
a Redundancy Of Law.

Montpelier, Jan. 29.-The committee
that is revising the Vermont Statutes
has discovered that, following the
strict letter of the law, the city of st
Adams is not in Franklin county and
the city of Barre is not in Washington
county,
At the time these villages were incor'
porated as cities and set apart from
the towns bearing the same name, the
necessity of changing and inserting
them in the names of the towns and
municipalities that go to make up
Washington and Franklin counties
was overlooked. The committee has
also discovered that a law prohibiting
the sale of firearms to minors under l6
years of age, more stringent than the
one passed by the legislature OF 1904,
is already on the statute books.
