intense suffering and means were
pitiable to hear, and the passengers
and trainmen were moved to tears
by the sorrowful incident. The I'M
fortunate lady was forced to bear
the severe pain until the train
reached Dyersville, where physicians
who had been notified to be at the
depot administered anethetics and
resorted to every means to lessen
her suffering. Upon the arrival Of
the train in Manchester local ply.
stefan also was on hand to continue
the treatment begun by the Dyers-
vile physicians. A stretcher was
brought into use in conveying the
lady from the Clipper to the Cedar
Rapids branch passenger train, the
trainmen upon which we're given
medicine to. administer during the
trip to Central City. The passen-
gers on the Clipper were fearful lest
the unfortunate lady would die be
fore medical aid could be received
and the incident was one that will
not soon be forgotten by them. The
facl that the lady was acquainted
with no one on the train and that
the other ladies on the train were
accompanied by small children
whom they could not leave to assist
in caring for Mrs. Fuller made the
case the more sad, as the work of
relieving her devolved upon the
travelling men and trainmen. The
Clipper was nearly an hour late IN
arriving in Manchester because of
the delay caused by the incident.
During Mrs Fuller's absence from
Central City her husband, an old
soldier who formerly resided on
what is now the Barr Bros. farm
southeast Of Manchester, was taken
to the soldiers home at Marshall
town. Mr.. Fuller has a remarkable
army record. We are informed that
he carries seven bullets in his body,
that one arm and one lower limb
are gone, and one eye blind. He
receives pension of $50 per
month.

The Republic of the Green Mountains,

1t is not popularity known, or at
least not often related, that for ID
years there existed up among the
bills Of the present state of Vermont
a community of people owing al
legiance to no other community on
the face of the earth; and for IA
years more, from LIT to 1871, Or
ganized as an Independent, sovereign
as is in tie United States today.
Never dependency of Great Brit
ain, these people were the first to
resist by force the tyranny of the
royalists and to suffer the shedding
of blood in the cause of American
independence; for before any de-
claration of war, the first battle of
the revolution was fought at West
minister court house, and William
French was wounded to death by "a
royalist bullet. Not one of the Or
iginal IL states of the Union, and
only one other if its present mem
bers, Texas, ever had separate in
dependent existence; but each was
founded as ward or dependency of
some European power, or existed as
a territory Of the United States.
1t is a unique distinction which
must he conceded to the people of
what was originally known as the
New Hampshire Grants; and what is
more, it is distinction which was
not accidental, but the hard earned
victory of remarkable courage, sa-
gacity. and endurance. Born in a
thunder storm, chrlstened in the
first decisive battle of the revolution,
harrassed and betrayed by her
neighbor on the west, coveted by
her neighbors on the east and south,
threatened and cajoled by the Brit.
ish on the north, and ignored, ne
elected, or antagonized by the con-
gress, the little republic had a
stormy and hazardous experience
during the twice seven years of her
life. But her hardy people never
flinched, never receded from their
just claims, never failed to do their
duty in the general struggle Of the
colonies for independence, and new
er yielded allegiance to any power
but Almighty God until at their own
solicitation they were admitted into
the Union of States on their own
terms. Editorial in the New Eng

out on the workmen, some of whom
were engulfed and literally cooked.

from the effects of an operation for

not the case, as shortly after leaving

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can

deafness,and that is by constitutional

When this tube is infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear

deafness is the result, and unless

Letter From Ardie Bee.

Editors Democrat: "The other
day a young wife was endeavoring
to impress on one of my lady visi-
tors the manifold excellences of her
husband, and having gone through
the usual list she ended by saying:
He's not like e husband. he's more
like a friend.
Exactly what she meant is more
easy to imagine than define; hut
that is the relationship which should
subsist between wife and her hus-
band-she must be his best friend"
l cut that item out of the Demo-
crata few weeks ago and l wish
that the author had given rs an
idea of how that husband who was
more like a friend differed from or
binary husbands, instead of giving
US an essay on what the wife ought
to do for her husband, and how she
should be his best friend.
The husband who is his wife's
best friend does not come home
cross and watching for something
to find fault with. He comes with
smiling face and kindly inquiries.
He does not scold the children for
making noise but says, "Boys will
be boys" aud mends the broken
sled, or makes the old swing safe
again just as pleasant and friendly
as neighbor Miller would have been.
And like friend he enjoys the
meal prepared for him, praising the
light dumplings and the new kind
Of cake, but says nothing of the
failures.
He even listens respectfully while
his wife talks on what he thinks is
the wrong side of some subject.
Then as calmly as friend Miller
could do it he tells what he thinks
about it. Have you not known hus-
bands who would be extremely rude
in such cases and say things they
would not dare say to any lady ex-
cept their wife.
Yet the rude unkind husband is
likely to be annoyed if he sees his
wife in friendly converse with some
friend who treats her with respect
you don't talk to me that way" he
says, not considering that he does not
talk to her like friend either.
Then he accuses his long suffering
wife Of not loving him any more,
for although he has treated her with
such rudeness as no one else would
endure, and a sel6shness that would
kill the love of an angel, he de-
mands her love and compliance
with his every wish.
If the wife of the man who is not
q friend makes mistake how she
breads for him to find it out for he
is very bitter and unsparing, and
she had almost rather die than hear
him go on about it"
But what a comfort is the hus-
band who is more like a friend"
No need to try to hide the miserable
mistake from him. My husband is
my best friend; he will help me out
Of this if any one can, she says
and tells him all about it, sure that
he will help to the utmost, and have
no reproaches for the years to come
Happy indeed is the wife whose
husband is truly her friend, anc
life will be more worth the living
when there are more such hus
bands. ARDIE BEE.
