At a recent inquest in Pennsylvania
town one of the jurors, after the usual
swearing In, arose and with much
dignity protested against service, al
leging that he was the general man
ager Of an important concern and was
wasting valuable time by sitting as
Juror at an inquest. The coroner, turn
Ing to his clerk, said: "Mr. Morgan,
kindly hand me :Jervis' (the authority
on juries)." Then, after consulting the
book, the coroner observed to the un-
willing juror:
"Upon reference to 'Jervis,' find, sir,
that no persons are exempt from serv-
ice as jurors except idiots, imbeciles
and lunatlcs. Now, under which head

to Roosevelt's denial of Harriman's s

been proven wrong after having
made such strong statements. A
case in point is the instance when
Mr.. Chandler showed up the presi-

the bell was transferred to the goat
and after another period replaced up
on the cow which had no horns. The

Where Man Would Be.

ADetroit woman said Of the late
Gen. Russell A. Alger:
''In company with half dozen
other women-a committee, in fact
l once waited on Gen. Alger and
interest him in woman suffrage.
"He was interested. He admitted
the truth of many of our arguments;
but in the matter of supporting us
he would not go as far as we wanted
him to go.
Zone of the ladies got, am afraid,
a little over excited. In her address
to the general she imputed to woman
more virtues than any merely human
creature could possess. At the
height of her eloquence Gen. Alger,
chluckling, interrupted her.
''He said he had once attended a
woman suffrage meeting where the
lady lecturer on the platform had
boasted about woman just as this
lady was doing. The lecturer, he
said, ended a striking climax with
the question:
"'Where would man be if it had
not been for woman?' =.
'tShe looked around the crowded
hall. The silence was intense. She
raised her hand and cried again i'm
pressively:
"'I repeat, where would man be
if it had not been for woman?'
"Then a coarse voice from the
rear replied:
"'In Paradise, ma'am. '"-Wash-

CuspIdors in Smoking Cars.

The railroads provide smoking cars for
tobacco users. As a rule, these are made
disgusting sinks of filth by degenerate
brute humanity without let or hindrance.
After a smoking car has run ten miles on
a Vermont railroad, it is absolutely unfit
for human or even bestial occupancy.
The company might easily install small
cuspidor through the floor under the
window at the end of each seat for the re-
ception of all saliva and ash IS, and the
train officials should insist on the invaria-
BILE use of such receptacle. Provide the
stationary cuspidor and compel its use

sanitary facilities to the public is another.

matter.-H9rdwick Gazette.

Promise Of Great Gain.

The Messenger has figured out that, if
the percentage of increase in the number
of polls in the state according to the re-
turns this year over the returns for 1900
is extended to the whole inhabitants Of
the state, the gain over the total popula-
ton shown in 1900, or Gal, should
make the present population about 362.-
900 in round numbers. And, assuming
that the ratio of increase is likely to con-
tinue for the next three years, the popula-
ton of Vermont at the census of 1910
may reasonably be expected to figure in
the neighhorhood of 375, 600. If this
hold good, it will mean that the next cen
sus will show the greatest increase in
population in any decennial period of
Vermont's history since that of 1920
1890.
The following table shows the popula-
tion Of the state by decades from the first
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1907-11-14

The increase in population and wealth
that our state is steadily making appears
dictate a present population of something
like 362. 900. If continued until the end
of the decade, a population OF 1880 is
foreshadowed, which will be the largest
per cent of increase of any decade fer
three-fourths of a century. In wealth,
there is an even more gratifying growth.
All of which indicates that the New Yer
mont, the Greater Vermont and the Better
Vermont ere coming on fast.
