Voting machines, on the principle Of
the cash register, have worked well
where they have been tried. The re-
suit Is ready as soon as the voting
ceases. None Of the troubles Of a re-
count can arise. Considering the rapid
ity with which the Australian ballot
came into use, 1t would not be surprs-
ing, after the complications in New
York City, If voting by machine now
made some headway. Like many other
things In the world it is simple enough
to those who get used to it.

HANGING OF A WOMAN.
1t May Result in the Abolition of
Capital Punishment.

~ hay OI
Capital Punishment.
With the execution Of Mrs. Mary
Mabel Rogers at Windsor it is not i'm
possible that the last hanging has
taken place in Vermont.
There has for many years been a
strong feeling in the Green Mountain
State that capital punishment should
be abolished and on several occasions
the Legislature has come close to do
ing away with the supreme penalty.
The cold-blooded manner in which
Mrs. Rogers killed her husband-en-
ticing him to a river bank, binding
him In the course of pretended play,
chloroforming him and throwing him
into the river at Bennington-cre
demand for her execution which out
weighed both the sentiment against
capital punishment and the natural re-
pugnance against hanging a woman.
But, now that the woman is dead, es-
pecially as the execution was not en-
tirely devoid of mistakes in calcula-
tion-the old feeling against the State
taking human lift is gaining in force.
The anti-hanging forces in the Legis-
lature will now be stronger than ever.
The case Of Mrs. Rogers was the
most sensational that ever figured in
the annals Of Vermont The murder
was committed in August, 1902, and

Women are savers rather than spend
ers. And when they spend they spend to
good advantage. A dollar In a woman's
hands goes twice as far as a dollar in
the hands Of man. If you want to
save money let your wife be the bank
er. This is for the man who gets
wages out Of Job and for the man
who gets salary out of a position.
This is for the worklngman, whether
he labors with his hands or tolls with
his brain. This Is for the married man
and for the man about to be married.
1t Is for men in every class Of life and
every walk Of life. 1t Is the best ad-
vice for the average man everywhere.

A story of the great Bishop Selwyn
of New Zealand is told by Commander
Gambler of the British navy In his
book The bishops missionary yacht
the Southern Cross, touched coral
reef when entering the harbor Port Of
France, New Caledonia. 1t became
necessary to examine her bottom, but
the sharks were so numerous and so
daring that nobody would venture into
the water $50 the bishop, who held
that if a man showed bold front to a
shark he would sheer off, went over
board himself with a long. sharp knife
in his mouth for defense, and, diving
under his vessel, ascertained the dam
age. He then came on board our ship.
and we arranged to careen the yacht
sufficiently to enable him to nail on
some copper sheets, which he did him
self, again spending long time In the
water. For some curious reason not a
single shark hove in sight all the time"

more feared than the terrible python.
A hunter tells of his experiences with
one of these huge snakes Cunning
one day near the WASH river, In the
Interior of the island,' he says, 81
watched a number of wild hogs coming
to the water to drink. Suddenly the
head of snake rose above the grass
and hog squealed. A python had
seized full grown one. easily three
feet high at the shoulder, and thrown
two coils around the body. Under the
tremendous pressure the hog seemed
to lengthen, and when the snake I'M
coiled I saw only a strip OF meat
nothing distinguishable but the head
| shot the snake 1t was twelve feet
long and seven inches through, and
yet its coils had crushed the bones Of
its prey like chips. There is no doubt
that hidden away in vast swamps OF
the interior are many anacondas OF
enormous size. Parties haYe beer

Few garden plants have been known
to and cultivated by man longer than
the cucumber. De CandoIle has proved
that this plant has been in cultivation
between three and four thousand years.
There is no specific remedy for the
striped cucumber beetle Direct appli-
cations of poisons such as paris green
or other arsenical, will destroy the
beetles when they occur in moderate
numbers. A normal crop may be
placed at about 200 half barrel baskets
per acre, the price varying from so
cents to as much as 81 per basket.
After the fruits have been harvested
and the marketing season has closed
the vines should be destroyed by gath
ering and burning or blowing them
under. so as not to harbor or breed dis
eases. A point which is of prime i'm
portance in the management of the
cucumber patch is that none Of the
fruits be allowed to come to maturity.
The ripening process, which means the
development and maturing of the
seeds, produces a heavy strain upon
the growing plant ~ United States

A wreck In the Potato Field.


An old salt after sailing the sea for
years thought he would try a life
ashore for awhile. He looked around
for job and was engaged by a farmer,
saying as he had plowed the deep for
years he thought he could pillow the
land. He went home with the farmer
and after good nights rest and
breakfast started out to plow The
farmer hitched up yoke of oxen, with
horse on to lead. Taking two turns
around the field and then turning the
team over to Jack, he said he would go
to the house for family prayers. II
was plain sailing for short time, but
the team didn't like Jacks way of nav
igatihg. The oxen turned the yoke, and
things became snarled up. Jack hove

was at prayers, but pushed in and
hailed the deacon: Say. deacon, the

Harwell loped along the lake shore
path. The spring wind beat in his
face. A mating blackbird trilled in
the greening marsh. Harwell in his
running pants and jersey, with his
bare legs and sandaled feet, with his
fine head tossed back and the muscles
of his back ripping beneath his jersey,
was as beautiful in his perfection of
youth as the spring landscape through
which he ran.
1t was getting little warm for the
daily cross country trot, but the spring
meets would be on in another week,
and after that cap and gown in ex-
change for jersey during commence
ment week.
Until then Harwell had only three
things to remember. First. he was not
to overdo. He was so near the per-
lection point now that with the least
