Thaddeus Stevens HumOr.

Many joke is credited to Thaddeus
Stevens, who led the Republicans in
congress during the civil war and the
troublous times after.
When he had taken to his bed for the
last time visitor told him he was look
ing well.
ooh, John" was the quick reply, ut is
not my appearance, but my disappear
ance, that troubles me'
One day a member of the house OF
representatives, who was noted for his
uncertain course on all questions and
who confessed that he never investigated
a point under discussion without finding
himself a neutral, asked for a leave Of
absence.
"Mr. Speaker" said Stevens, ~ do not
rise to object, but to suggest that the
honorable member need not ask this
favor, for he can easily pair off with
himself"
One anecdote always remembered in
connection with Stevens illustrates his
transformations charity. A beggar
woman met him one morning as he was
limping to the house.
ooh, sir" she said, II have Just lost all
the money had in the worldi'
And how much was that?"
ooh, sir, it was rs cents"
You don t say sol" he replied, putting
a five dollar bill in her hand. "And how
wonderful it is that l should have found
what you lost!"-[ Philadelphia Press.

The waynflete School.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Waynfete school, Portland.
The school, established eight years ago,
has steadily progressed until it is now
thoroughly equipped in both boarding
and day departments. The principals in
1901 built large addition containing
school rooms and fine gymnasium, the
only one for girls in the city, and. again
in 1908 they enlarged their quarters.
Every year Waynfete graduates enter
college, where they make admirable
records. Graduates are in Wellesley,
Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Vassar and Bryn
Mawr. The school is on the accredited
list of the New England college entrance
certificate board. In addition to the
college preparatory course there is full
varied general course for girls not in
tending to 60 to college. The equipment
of the school is noteworthy, the library
is good and the work in the history of
art is enriched by several hundred for
eign photographs which the principals
have gathered in their European travels.

state. The Senator was recently elected
a trustee of the University of Vermont
by the legislature and the Governor
approves.
Harry Burnham, who was elected to the
House from Woodbury., and denied the
right to seat there, because he held the
office of postmaster at the time of his
election, died on Wednesday from
pneumonia, the result of a cold contract
ed while in Montpelier. Mr.. Burnham
was educated at Lyndoninstitute. When
the House learned of his death appro-
pirate resolutions were adopted and the
speaker appointed Representatives
Pierce of Hardwick, Carr ofSt. Johns
bury, and Holmes Of Sutton, as COM
mittee to attend the funeral. Mr.. Burn
ham was not candidate for representa-
tive but his friends elected him by writ
ing in his name on the ballots.

March. 1t is not reasonable to expect
that they will be very enthusiastic in the
performance of their duty. However,
very likely they will get around often
enough to draw their salaries.
All the Vermonters here who are de-
serving OF success continue to ascend the
ladder OF honor and fame. There are so
many OF them thus deserving and boom
ing that cannot particularize except in
the cases OF Justices Stafford and Robb.
The promotion of the former to the
superior bench delights the whole
city, which is solidlv his friend and cor
dial well-wisher. No man ever came to
Washington and made more warm and
lasting friends in the same time. Few
ever do, regardless of time. The promo
ton OF Assistant Attorney General Robb
to the bench also gave mostcomplete and
widespread satisfaction, being every
where regarded as well earned and most
meritorious.
l note that Gov. Ide is to be winter
resident here conspicuous and most
gratifying addition to the Vermont
colony. Quite number of private
citizens ofVermont have planned to spend
the winter here, with their families, and
the Vermont colony of winter residents
will be considerable larger than ever be-
fore Senator Proctor has rented his
fine residence in the fashionable section,
and has secured and already occupies
quarters at one of the leading hotels. |
note in the Morning Herald of this city
that Senator Proctor is now generally
credited with being the largest holder of
real estate OF any senator except Clark
of Montana. His holdings now include
properties in many of the cities and
towns of the country, he having pur-
chased in good thing" as an invest
ment whenever and wherever he has
found it.
1t is not likely that any germinal legis-
lation of national Importance will be be-
gun at the present short session, al
though some things that were left I'M
completed at the last session will be per-
tected. Exclusive of the holiday recess.
there will only remain about ten weeks
of actual working session and this will
be pretty much all needed for the usual
great appropriation bills.

BOOkmaking Illegal.

The sporting fraternity have been
greatly interested in test case in the
Washington supreme court as to the
legality of bookmaking, as it seriously
effected the business at the Benning race
track. Inasmuch as Judge Stafford pre-
sided at the court our readers will be
interested in the following account of
the trial from the associated press at
Washington:
Bookmaking as it has been carried on
at the Benning race track has been de-
clared illegal and William Davis, who
volunteered himself defendant to test
the law, was declared guilty and sem
fenced in criminal court yesterday for
imprisonment for two hours. The case
turned on the construction of the law,
prohibiting setting up a gaming table"
in the District of Columbia The defence
admitted the paraphernalia of a book
maker consisted of stools and a cash box
and that definite location was assigned
to each bookmaker in the betting ring.
Judge Wendell P. Stafford presiding,
charged the jury that if it found the CON
ditions described to be actual facts a YER
dict of guilty should be brought in. The
jury deliberated one hour and twenty
minutes when the verdict of guilty as
charged was rendered. An appeal was
at once taken to the court of appeals.
Pending the appeal sentence will not be
executed on Davis.
The trial has been matter of great
interest to the racing world in view O
the fall meeting of the Washington
Jocky Club to begin next Friday.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The following proclamation has been
issued by Governor Proctor:
State of Vermont, By Fletcher D.
Proctor, Governor, A Proclamation:
Whereas, The people of this state, as
their fathers, still acknowledge their
dependence on the benefcent providence
of Almighty God, and, the recurring year
having brought again the season OF
harvest, it is good to follow the hallow-
ed custom of the fathers and to recognize
this Divine favor by setting apart day
for public expression of gratitude and
praise.
Therefore, do appoint Thursday, the
twenty-ninth day of November current,
a day of Thanksgiving for the people of
this state.
Vermont has abundant reasons for
grateful rejoicing. A strong and reso-
lutte people have established here a state
that has always stood for intelligence,
hberty-loving, law-abiding citizenship
and for that righteousness which alone
exalteth a commonwealth or a nation.
Her welfare and honor have been con-
served by the intelligence and honest

field, mine, workshop, and factory have
abounded There are many evidences
also of virtues that strengthen and uplift
society-patriotism, high moral courage,
Justice and unselhsh devotion to the public
good.
For these blessings-the heritage of the
past, the advantage of the present, and
the promise of the future-let us on the
day designated, in the church, in the
home, and in other fitting places, render
our deep and reverent gratitude to the
Giver OF all good. Let us be moved by a
spirit of humility, generous fraternity,
and tender sympathy. Let us draw
closer and sweeten the ties of home and
family. And let us dedicate ourselves to
that living public and private-whicl
will bring to the state and nation {
continuance and an increase of enlighten
nent, liberty, and peace, and which viii
make for righteous character.

young again. For, be it known, that

to see this selfsame Charlie Taylor drive
trotters In races, and he was an old,
white-halred man then. He drove one of
the fastest trotters in the state, Snow
make, 2:22, and even the governor of
the ancient commonwealth Of Vermont
was not regarded with so much awe by
the small boys as he. never heard him

is still writ deep on the tablets of nv
memory. Snowflake" was being de-
parked for the annual agricultural horse
