Teddy and the TailhoIt

Theodore, the bold.
A letter to Maria wrote; twas very far

She answered quickly to his screed-
addressed Dear Theodore;"
He'd promised her some things but now
she wanted more and more.
They had little falling out. Maria
and this man,
only Theo. can;
Oh, letters fast and letters sharp, and
letters "dear-ing" her,
With her replies, twas INTERESTING to
read what they'd infer.
Then Bellamy put in his oar and there
was - to play!
He put 'em in pamphlet which he
brought to light O. day
Not all, but just part of them-which
Theodore denied:
1T isn't true! 'Tis very false! A lie.
A fake!" he cried.
Now Bellamy comes back at him. and
eke, Maria, too;
The balance of those letters they hold
up to public view
The nation laughs at Theodore and
petticoat control,
While hoping for the balance, so it may
enjoy the whole!

Dear Teddy, you're hunter of much

But have you never learned this lesson

To Stamp Out tuberculosis.

A bill abolishing the state cattle
commission has been introduced in
the legislature, and in view of recent
disclosures it may have serious con-
sideration. 1t is doubtful, however,
if the motion Of the gentleman from
Montpelier prevails, as in the view
of some of the best known breeders
of Vermont its retention is necessary
to the welfare of the herds of the
state, and they urge that capable
commission should be given power
and an appropriation with which to
90 ahead and clean out all the dis
eased cattle within its borders,
This is the opinion Of George Ait
ken, chairman of the state board Of
agriculture and manager OF billings
farm in Woodstock, and other promi-
nent agriculturists are in accord
with him. Vermont has more cattle
than any other New England state,
but the average price per head is the
lowest, as the figures below indicate:

tors difficulty and wished to help
him out of it. At any rate, the Civ
ing of her hand led him to offer his

Whereabouts. The animal was seen

it on the limb of tree. 1t looks as
though there was chance for some
hunter to bring the panther down

Of South hill have no doubt of its ex-
istence, and they describe its move
ments as record-breaking and its

A Costly Joke,

A woman of Bochum, says a vi
emma dispatch, wishing to give her
young nephew, living in neigh
boring town, pleasant surprise,
bought little tablet of chocolate
and posted it to him in an envelope
marked "Value $4,000" The
package, on account of its high de-
clared value, attracted the notice
of the postal authorities, who de-
manded 81 extra fee on delivery.
The nephew, suspecting hoax, re-
fused the letter, which was duly re-
burned to Bochum and the sender
advised. The woman, half ashamed,
declared that the envelope contain
ed nothing Of real value, but it was
pointed out to her that the contents,
whatever they might be, were de-
clared to be worth $4,000 and she
must pay. The poor woman signed
the receipt, but then was told, to
her dismay, that double fee had
been incurred owing to the return
of the letter. She paid SO without
further complaint.

p,enrO vrDen a PATENT.
Each of the Three Constitutes a sepa-
rate Monopoly.

To make, to use and to sell are
the only ways in which an invention
is capable of commercial enjoyment.
The patentee can, if he wishes, sit
down and not only not use the in
vention himself, but prevent others
from making or using or selling the
patented thing. If any one else
makes, uses or sells the subject of
the patent the courts will grant the
patentee an injunction against fur
Their infringement and recovery of
the profits made.
Each Of these three rights-to
make, to use and to SELLS a sep
arate monopoly and may, by proper
instruments, be granted or sold sep
arately. For instance, patentee of
a machine could grant to a manu-
facturer the exclusive right to make
the machines for him (of course I'M
der proper restrictions as to price,
etc.), and the manufacturer would
be an infringer if he used the ma
chimes or sold them to others. The
patentee could then grant to a job
Der the exclusive right to sell the
machines Deserving proper compen-
sation to himself, such as percent
age of the profts), and the jobber
would be an infringer if he either
made or used the machine. The
exclusive right to use the machines
could then be granted to given
consumer, who in turn would have
no right to make or sell the ma
chimes.
The exclusive right to use an in
vention for each Of several given
purposes can be separately sold. For
instance, patentee of process for
making watch dials not only sold
the exclusive right to make watch
dials by that process, but he also
sold to a separate company the ex-
elusive right to use the process in
making enameled signs under the
same patent. The watch manufac-
turer would have been an infringer
if he had made signs and, vice versa,
the sign manufacturer would have
been restrained from making watch
dials.
A process of drying gunpowder
was found to be applicable to dry
ing breakfast foods, and the owners,
after getting all they had ever look
ed for from the patent from the
gunpowder rights, reaped a second
and unexpected harvest from the
sale of the rights for breakfast
foods. The rights under a patent
for machine can be divided in the
same way.-Edwin j. Prindle in
Engineering Magazine.

Suicide of a Former Bethel Man.

day, Oct. I9. He was lying on a

which was covered with some sub
stance, which was taken for analy-

Mr.. Altken doesn't see why YER
mont COWS should not be brought up
to the standard of other herds, and
to this end he advocates a general
cleaning up under the direction Of a
trustworthy commission headed by a
good business man. He says
vermont has 516,891 head of all
kinds of cattle. Two per cent of this
number would be 1O,337. These at
the average cost per head of $2l.50
would amount to $222,245. Eighty
per cent of this amount would be
$177796.
AS the cattle commissioners have
been testing the worst places in the
state for the past two years, and have
only found 2 per cent diseased, I am
confident that if all the cattle in the
state were tested, one per cent would
be all found necessary to destroy.
This would bring the cost to the
state down to $88,S98. This would
take two years to accomplish, owing
to the lack of trustworthy veterina-
RES"
With the state once cleaned up,
Mr.. Aitken urges the passage of a
law making the tuberculosis test
compulsory, the expense to be borne
by the state as heretofore, but not re-
imbursing the owners of condemned
cattle This plan would make far
healthier and higher-priced herds.
1t would be an expensive item at
first, but it is believed that it would
pay.

AN EMERGENCY SPEECH.
1t Soothed the Indians and ProbabI,
Saved General Gaines.

People often say very funny
things in times of emergency. It
was fortunate for the general whose
conciliatory efforts are described in
Mrs. Jefferson Davis life of her
husband, that the Indians with
whom the men were dealing had no
great sense of humor. Lieutenant
Davis, then on the staff of General
Gaines, had accompanied his supe-
rior officer to a conference with the
chiefs Of the Sac nation.
The council met in a tent. The
warriors, deeked with war paint and
feathers, sat scowling and silent,
their arms stacked near by. Seated
with them was a dark old woman,
shrunken to a mere skeleton,
clothed in white wooden. She held
herself with great majesty of mien.
The general began the council in
a hesitating manner. He explained
that it was necessary for the Indians
to move on, for the white man must
have the territory. At this the old
squaw became greatly excited and
began speaking with vehemence.
She declared that the Sacs must die
on their own hunting ground. The
general showed considerable irrita-
ton at her TRADE and spoke to tho
interpreter.
"Tcll her-a-that-a-woman is
not expected to interfere between
the-a-white and Indian braves
She must be silent"
The squaw rose from her seat
with great impressiveness and
stretched her skinny arms above her
head with wild gesture.
'Does he say ! am to be silent in
the councils of my people? In these
veins runs the blood Of the last Of
the Sac kings. 1t is my right to
speak"
The chiefs rose about her, stirred
by her words, gcsticulating angrily.
1t was plain that trouble was at
hand, and the Indians far outnum-
bered the whites.
The general calmly listened until
the speech was interpreted. Then
he rose, with sweep of the land,
to command silence.
"Mr. Interpreter" he said, cell
her-a-that-a-my mother yas--
a woman"
This revelation brought grunts Of
satisfaction from the Indians, and
the frankness of the statement
pleased the old princess. Order was
restored, and the council proceeded
with the business in hand.
