Charles w. Ruiter, cashier of the
Merchants National bank of ST. Johns
bury, is mentioned as candidate for
state treasurer to succeed John l..
Bacon of White River Junction, who
will not seek q denomination. Col.
Ruiter has been through the various
steps in the banking business to the
position of cashier and could handle
the duties of the office of state treas
urer in a satisfactory manner. The
mention of his name as a candidate is
well received and is a suggestion
worth pushing along.-Ly ndonville

UNwRITTEN LAW.

BY a universal custom our state,
counties and towns have been divided
into distinct and separate parts for
political purposes only. The state
. has it's east and its west side. Our
county has its north end and it's south
end. Our towns are divided accord
ing to the villages situated in the town.
BY an unwritten law the governor is
chosen alternately from ,the east side
and from the west. side. Our states
attorney is chosen from the north
end for term of four years and then
is chosen from the south end for q
like term of years. The town of
Charleston chooses it's representative
hrst from the east end of the town
and then from the west end. The
town of Barton elects a representa-
tive from the village of Barton Land
ing once in six years. The town of
Troy, in obedience to an unwritten
law, moves three ton safe distance
of more than six miles every two
years. Nearly every town in the
county has some such agreement for
the distribution of its public offices.
These rules have been adopted not
vithstanding the fact the east side or
the west side or the north end or the
south end might have sufficient
numerical strength to retain these
of.dces indefinitely. Were these rules
Co be disregardi d the north end, hav-
ing the greater numerical strength,
might monopolize all our county
offices, and the voters of the south
end be placed at the mercy of superior
numbers. In the coming campaign
the south end has right to ask that
the Office of states attorney be re-
turned to them, and we believe the
spirit of fairness which has been in
bred into the voters of Orleans County
Will demand that some regard be had
for precedents and promise

Yankees Win Olympic Games.

The Olympic games at Athens the
past week have caused much interest.
The American team of athletes has
covered itself with glory, securing
first in eleven events, against four for
Great Britain, three for Greece and
two for Sweden. The Marathon race
Tuesday was won by Sberring, Ca
madam, greatly to the disappointment
of the 100000 Greeks who hoped that
one of their countrymen might lead.

 been astir all night Now. as dawn \ approached. one of them. worn ont with watching, wearicd with that blessed fatigue of anxiety which dulls She senses, had lain down on the cur tain covered bed to sleep.
 While Marie slept Jocelyn Gordon walked softly backward and forward with Nestorius in her arms.

All night 1t had held or until the whole earth seemed to pulsatc with the desire for relief. Iocelyn kept moving so that the changing air waited over the little bare limbs might allay the fever. She was fin evening dress, having, indeed. been called from the drawing room by Marie. and the child's woolly black head WIS pressed against her breast as if tO seek relief from the inward pressure on the awakening brain.
 A missionary possessing some small kaowledgerof medicine had been with them until midnight. and. having done his best. had gone away leaving the child to the two women.
