Clement Surely Defeated.

E. }. Hall said Thursday evening
that Mr., Clement was surely elected.
Here are the names Of a very few of
the prominent men who supported him
four years ago, and who are against
him this year:

didate for Lieutenant Governor in
1902

One Effect of Clements Plan in Regard to
Insane

one Effect OF Elements Plan in Regard to
Insane
There are fifteen inmates of tie in
sane asylum from the Town of Ben
nin6ton, which are now being taken
care of at the expense of the State of
Vermont. If Mr. Clement should sue
coed in getting himself elected Cover
nor he proposes to reduce State ex-
penses by compelling the several towns
to pay for the support of their own in
sane poor, it would mean additional
taxation for the individual taxpayer
of Bennington to stand, to the amount
of 81, $500 each year. If you think
Bennington taxes are not high enough
now, you might vote for Mr. Clement
and raise them a little.

BURKE ON GRATING.
Said at Burlington That Clement is the arch
Crater Of Them All"

Mayor Burke of Burlington said in
his speech at Bennington Thursday
night, in substance, that the Republi-
can party was the party OF graft, and
that is one of the stock arguments of
the Fusion orators.
The same Mayor Burke, in his
speech before the Democratic State
convention in Burlington last June,
said in substance, that Percival W.
Clement was the arch CRATER of them
all, and further charged that Clement
had a lot of his, Burke's, money,
which he had taken from him by extor-
Tomato freight rates.
Can the Mayor explain why he now
urges the voters to support Clement?

KING OF sAFE-sREAkERs.
Marvellous Delicacy of Hearing Pos
sessed by Miner James.


Miner James was the most artistic
safe-breaker in the business" said
Lecocq the detective. He is dead
now. He opened in his time over 700
safes without tools or gunpowder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient fingers.
8 It took me year., he once said,
to learn the trick of picking combina-
tons. | studied all the locks there
were and | had three safes of different
makes to practice on. The ear is the
most important factor in my method
and 1t must be held tight against the
safe door on line with the tumblers
When the knob of the lock is turned
slowly and one of the tumblers reach
es the notch corresponding to the first
number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with a little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
tumbler. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.
Hardly one man in a thousand has an
ear delicate enough for this work and
to be a success at it you've got to give
up tobacco and alcohol

WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.

Prof. Darwin said that IL it had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those of the elm, the hop
and the nettle Lord Avebury COM
pares the work of the insect to that of
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms of the garden, so
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
ton, have produced the gay flowers of
the field Prof. Plateau, of Client, has
carried out a series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and In the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
in flowers to insects-as yet, 1t APP
pears undefined-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright-colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants, the lime. the planetree, the
nettle and the willow.

for even those of us who are skeptics

and mine is walking under ladders.
I'm the country this summer | met
a new one, which was firmly believed
In by several farmers, and that was
that a thunder storm never passed
over a copper mine or copper vein.
The old fellow who toll me about it
pointed out again and again that al
though black clouds might roll up and
lightning flash, the storm always went
around a certain spot in his farm.
Such actions on the part of thun-
der storm could mean but one thing,

there. So sure was he of it, that he
was putting by a little each year to
