The Legend of the Fountain.

Once upon a time, just as it happens
in the fairy stories, there lived in the
pretty little village of Townshend a
benevolent woman by the name of Mrs
Daniel Reed From the windows of her
home she looked out daily upon the
common and thought that the one thing
needed to enhance its lovelness was a
fountain which should send its spray
sparkling up into the sunlight and with
its cool murmur refresh all passersby. So,
in time, the good woman gave a fountain
to the park association and it was placed
on the common and for years the spray

A. E. Parks Mill Burned Monday
Night.

A. L. Park drove as usual to his mill,
which was situated on the opposite side
of the river just above the Scott bridge
Tuesday morning and when he arrived he
found the mill in ashes. The lumber and
the house, barn, and blacksmith shop
which stood near the mill were not burn
ed. As yet the cause of the fire has not
been ascertained. Mr.. Park went over
the mill before going home Monday and
supposed everything to be all right. As
this is the third mill which has burned
in this vicinity in a com aratively short
time some think that the fire may have
been the work of an incendiary. There
was no insurance.

A Solution of the Deserted Farm Prob
LEM

We hear a good deal said every once
in a while about the deserted hill farms
and what a pity it is that they should
be left vacant. Gilbert Boutelle, the last
man left on his hill, is about to move to
Grafton, where he has purchased a house.
Mr.. Boutelle says that he is leaving be-
cause the road leading to his farm is in
such bad condition that he can endure
it no longer. lie says that he has com,
planned over and over again to the road
commissioner at West Townshend within
whose jurisdiction the road lies but moth
ing has been done to improve it. The
road commissioner may not be to blame
for he doubtless has his hands full but it
is pity to let good farmer leave town
for the lack of good road. Perhaps.
after all, the solution of the deserted
farm problem lies in a better system OF
highways.

The ingredients of this mixture are
all recognized as valuable fertilizing
agents but with the exception of ashes
they heretofore have been difficult to
obtain in the markets of Vermont.
This condition is now changed and all
the materials of the formula--except
the ashes, which the farmer can usual
ly furnish himself-can be purchased
of Carroll S.. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
who will be pleased to make quotations
on application.
The muriate of potash and acid phos-
phate he sells are the purest that can
be bought and his raw ground bone is
guaranteed to be absolutely pure and
the best the market affords. The bone
which he offers is simply the finer par
ticles that are sifted out of the coarser
graduated bone that goes into the
manufacture of his Pages Perfected
Poultry Food. It should not be con-
founded with the bone ordinarily Of
fered by the trade as that has usually
been steamed or treated with acids. 1t
will be usually found that practically
all the heterogeneous elements have been
removed to make glue, thus taking
away the most valuable part of the
bone. If you are interested in the
matter of summer or fall seeding or
of fertilizers for any purpose, write
him for information and prices, men

GIRL BABY'S
AWFUL eczema
Sight Of Eye Destroyed by Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse In Agony Eight Months
Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said it was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
in a few days. The eczema grew worse
and We called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through She would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
q week. One morning we discovered
q little yellow pimple on one of her
eyes. OF course we phoned for doctor
No. 8. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any,
thing, more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to OSwego
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eve
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought We would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No. 4.
We We're nearly discouraged. l saw
one of the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and
purchased set of Cuticura Remedies,
winch cost me 81, and IN three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had dis
appeared. Of course it could not re-
store the eyesight. but if we had used
Cuticura in time l am confident that
it would have saved the eye. We think
there is no remedy so good for any skin
trouble or impurity of the blood as

Whv "a Canard?"

Does anyone know the origin of the
word "Canard, a duck, as meaning a
false report especially in a newspa-
per? | cane upon the explanation
only recently, says a writer in Vanity
Fair 1t is this. About 1860 a French
journalist, being hard up for news.
wrote an amazing story in leading
Paris journal to the effect that he had
kept and fat tened 20 live ducks. and
one day being short OF duckfood he
killed one, chopped II up. and distri-
buted IL among the other 10. The fol-
lowing day he slaughtered another
bird. and the IS ducks ate 1t up. So
he went on from day to day, until
there was only solitary duck left,
which had, of course, assimilated most
of the ~other 49, The enterprising
press gentleman then related that he
had this last duck for his own dinner,
thus practically eating the score OF
birds at one meal The amazing yarn
went the round of the papers at the
time, and formed the origin of the
term "canard' for humping big
story.
