Brains VS.. Gall,

A man entering store in his town
"a small place-approached the mer-
chant and asked if he would exchange
for him garment he had bought of a
mail order house in big city for
similar garment of another size, says an
exchange.
The merchant almost tainted at the
mans gall, but, being an obliging mer-
chant, he did not get angry. He asked
the man why he did not return the
garment and have it exchanged. The
answer was that he would have to return
it at his own expense and might not then
get what he wanted. The merchant
looked sharply at the man to see if he
was joking, or if he didn't really know
any better, and seeing it was only the
latter, he agreed to make the exchange.
The man was profuse in his thanks for
the accommodation. Then the merchant
speaking to the man gently but firmly,
said
"My friend. you live in this COM
munity. You own a farm that cost you
perhaps SIS or $50 an acre, and it is now
land is not as good as it was when you
bought it. 1t is worth more because
it is near good town-to this town that
your neighbors have helped build up by
you were unconscious of doubling and
trebling the value of your farm. Deter
ioration of the town would have injured
the value of your farm. If you buy
goods here you help to make this a
larger city and help to make your land
worth more. If you buy goods in Chicago
you help to make Chicagoa larger city,
and leave to other people the burden of
your community, your home, your land,
increase in value. If you help to build
up Chicago, how much will it increase
the value of your farm? If you are short
of cash and ask credit of the stores here,
and you get it, it is favor 10 you. If you
buy anything at the stores here you can
exchange it or get your money back. In
many ways you are under obligation to
this town and the merchants here to
trade with them, and yet you have sent
your money to this mail order house to
get what you want and have not got it
, after all And you are hurting the value
of your own farm when you hurt this
town. Now if you will bring your mail
order catalogue here and look through
my store, and compare prices right
through, and if don't furnish you the
same articles, quality considered, al
cheap or cheaper than the mail order
house does, | will give them to you
And you will not buy anything by book
description, either. You will see the
goods, try them on, inspect the quality
and get whatever guarantee there is on
them, and if they don't suit afterwarC
there will be no trouble or risk in eX
changing or replacing them. That mai
: order house made a profit on your pur
chase; they ran no risk; they will moi
exchange it for you unless you pay al

may not get what you want They pay
no taxes here to help run the county
expenses and educate your children

, they wouldn't be in business; now why
not let the merchant at home make tina
profit:

John Perry, a well known cattle
buyer of Ferrisburg, had narrow es-
cape from death Monday. About G
o'clock that morning Perry was en-
gagged in loading cattle on a stock train
at Vergennes. Among the lot of cattle
was a vicious bull, weighing about
l 400 pounds. This animal in the con-
fusion incident to loading, became wild,
and turned on Perry, striking him near
the groin with one horn. The blow
glanced upward through the muscles of
the abdomen.
The injured man was taken to the
office of DIR. Vance w. Waterman
where the wound was dressed. No
serious results are anticipated, but
had the wound been fraction of an
inch to one side the abdomen would
have been punctured, necessitating a
very serious operation, with grave dan
ger of fatal results.

In time of war the most responsibility
rests upon the guard. If he is lacking
in vigilance, disaster can easily overtake
the army.
With the individual life, the stomach
may well represent the guard against
sickness. If it is strong and vigilant,
any disease germs that may be swallowed
will be neutralized by the digestive
juices, or else driven from the system.
Everyone with weak digestion should

Mount Washington and the other
peaks of the Presidential range have
recently been purchased by a lumber
syndicate, and there is every prospect
that they may be denuded, unless people
rise in their Indignation and successfully
oppose the plan. Much of the talk about
losing all the forests of the state is eXag-
gerated; but certainly there is abundant
opportunity to procure lumber without
taking it from the Presidential ranges.
These hills, at least, should be left as
Nature made them. They are one of the
most valuable pieces of stock in trade
that the state possesses. To sacrifice
them would be suicidal. We can con-
ceive of nobody so selfish as to plan such
a sacrifice. Hanover, IN. II. }, Gazette.
The White Mountains are, as our New
hampshire contemporary says, one OF
the most valuable assets that the Granite
State has and to those mountains she
owes her popularity as vacation spot
While perhaps the enthusiasts over
forest preservation at times exaggerate
the peril that threatens the forest in the
shape of the lumbermen with his de.
nuding axe in this particular case we
are inclined to believe that the time has
arrived for action. Let the federal
government assist the state of New
Hampshire and make the Presidential
range a national forest preserve.

RelIef-SoId Under Guarantee.

The season for hay fever is almost
at hand, and many people feel that
they will be obliged to go away in or
der to avoid the sneezing, watery eyes,
and other annoying symptoms of this
disagreeable summer disease.
w. II. Sheldon wishes us to announce
that when Hyomei is used as proven
tive, or a cure, there will be no hay
fever. He advises daily treatment with
Hyomei for two or three weeks be-
fore the usual time for the annual APP
pearance of hay fever. If this is done,
the attack will be prevented. How
ever, if the preventive treatment is not
started soon enough, and the disease
makes its appearance, use Hyomei six
or seven times daily, and relief will be
given at once.

We are in receipt of copy of "Ver-
mont 1905" issued by the Board of
Agriculture under the direction of
Secretary George Aitken. Accompany
ing the book is a circular letter from
the secretary in which he says; "Recog-
nizing the power of the press it is
hoped that our state papers will join in
giving the matter as much publicity
as in their judgment seems proper"
The Register is pleased to give the
book publicity and Its our opinion
that the same will stand an unlimited
amount of exploitation. Secretary
Aitken says that there is large element
looking towards Vermont not only for
summer residences, but for permanent
investment as farms, as is evidenced
by the large number of letters of in
quiry received by the Secretary of the
Board lover 1907 during the past six
months, from almost every state in the
Union. These letters are not of Curl
osity, but their contents denote that
they are from would-be actual pur-
chasers.
The book is lavishly illustrated with
halftone engravings of beauty spots
within the borders of Vermont and the
text contains just the information that
will interest prospective settlers.

The Morgan Horse.

Never discredited, but sighted by
fashion and superseded by show, the
Morgan horse is coming into his own
again. Throughout all New England,
and especially in Vermont, the best
all-round type of equines ever known
is again announced as the favorite of
horsemen, and efforts are being made
to put back to its former scale OK
magnitude the breeding of this mag
nificent strain of horseflesh.
After years of splendid service, dis
playing nnexampled qualities of
strength and virility, with splendid
records for speed as well. the tickle
breeders gave way to the public de-
sire for a taller and rangier horse
for speed and the heavy, snowy var
iety for cobs and draught work, neither
of which could show the stamina or
staying qualities of the farfamed
Morgans. So general did this deser-
ton of the old-time type become that
the genuine Morgans became almost
extinct. In fact, not few horsemen
in various parts of the country will
declare that a genuine inbred Nor
gan cannot be found at the present
time. This is not so. There are
plenty of them, and they display the
same qualities of faithfulness, strength
and reliability as did their forefath-
ers, but they are not to be found in
the possession of any and everyone
who fancies a good horse. To locate
the genuine specimen of the type one
has to know where to go and the
character Of the man with whom he
is dealing, as well as to be willing
to pay the price demanded for get of
that strain.
There were breeders who remained
steadfast to the Morgan type when pub
lie craze turned in other directions, and
they are reaping the reward of their faith
at the present time, when from all parts
of the country comes the query, "Where
can we find some of the genuine old.
fashioned Morgans which were the pride
of the nations horsemen a few years
ago." and the answer is that they exist
among men who never doubted that
superior quality would again be recog.
nized and who despite the tendency
toward other equine classes, felt con.
WINGED that the day was coming when
the value of the Morgan horses would
again be recognized.
That day is at hand; nothing could
more convincingly show this to be the
case than the fact that the Philippine
government has within few months
purchased at large price three beau
tiful inbred Morgan stations from a
Vermont breeder, to be sent to Uncle
Sans Pacific possessions, and there
establish race of equines which may
prove as valuable to the people of the
archipelago as did the famous breed
in Vermont and New Hampshire until
the craze for a change led to seeking
other types.
Fortunate indeed is it that the mis-
take can be rectified ere it is to late
and the horse-lovers of the country
especially New England, once more see
the regal strain triumphant
