Almost every one has made his Jest
about the proneness OF doctors to dis
agree, the one prescribing exactly an
opposite course from that ordered by
another. but not every one has had an
opportunity 10 conduct such an expert
meDt as was made by the late Baron
Lut1, formerly prime minister OF Ba-
varla. The baron was once severely
wounded In battle In both legs The
wound IN one leg was much like that
IN the other II struck him that there
was a chance 10 study the ways OF the
surgical profession and beglile the
long hours OF his convalescence. lie
accordingly called In one doctor and
gave him charge ~ his right leg. but
told him nothing about the wound 81
the other and then called In another
doctor for his left leg. keeping him
similarly in ignorance about the
wounded right leg. The doctors adopt
I'd a very different method % ;coat
ment. but both wounds healed at aro1t
the same time. When the baron's lees
were quite we'll he derived a great dea,
~ amusement from getting the doc

Baby Folded In Bed

Briotol, Tenn, April 30.-The
two week old baby of Mr.. aud Mrs.
|. b. Cowan came near being smoth-
cred to death by being fastened in
folding bed. Mr.. Cowan was pre-
pairing to start to work about
o'clock in the morning, aud seeing
that the folding bed was not closed
he proceeded to fix it. He did not
notice the baby, which was on the
bed sleeping, and folded up the bed
and left the house. A few minutes
later Mrs. Cowan inquired for the
nurse for the baby. They looked
all around until they finally opened
the bed and found the little one still
asleep and unhurt. The child was
lying with its head down and had
narrow escape.

FAMOUS WEST POINT CHAIN.

From an ironmakers point of view
the greatest achievement during the
Revolutionary period was the making
of the great West Point chain. This
massive chain, which has probab bly,

stretched across the Hudson river at
West Point to prevent the British fleet
from making a second attack upon

Walter Malone, some years ago recog
nized as one of the brightest writer's in
the south, and who has contributed some
first class poetry to adorn literature, has
again appeared before the public Sew
eral years ago Mr.. Malone was elected to
the supreme bench of the state of Ten
nessee and since his pen has been nigh
stilled, but he is welcomed back for he
occupies a niche without a peer. The
latest we note from his pen is an answer
to Opportunity" the famous poem of
Senator John J. ingalls,, of Kansas
They do me wrong who say come no
more
When once knock and fail to find
you in;
For every day stand outside your door,
And bid you wake, and ride to fight and
win.
Wall not for precious chances passed
away,
Weep not for golden ages on the wane!
Each night burn the records Of the day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that have
sped,
To vanish joys be blind and deaf and
dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past with
its dead,
But never bind a moment yet to come.
Though deep in mire, wiring not your
hands and weep;
lend my arm to all who say IT CAMP
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep
But yet might rise and be again a man.
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retributions

| Then turn from blotted archives Of the
| past
And find the futures pages white as
| snow.
Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from
| thy spell!
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be for
given
Each morning give thee wings to flee
from hell,
Each night to guide thy feet to Heaven.

wounds soon after his return TO the
North.
Mr.. Worcester's first theatrical engage
ment after he was mustered out as a SOL
der was with Forrester's New York
company, in the role of "Old Hurricane"
in "The Hidden Hand" He was with the
company in Montpelier during the legls-
lative session of 1864 and announced the
election returns from the stage when
Abraham Lincoln was reelected. He was
advertising agent for Laura Keene two
years, and was then manager of Amos
Stones sensation troupe which made two
trips through Vermont. During his first
trip as "Uncle Tom" Mr.. Worcester play

played the part when Denman Thompson
was Phineas Fletcher.

the play he was introduced to both with
a hearty hand grasp, the memory of

right conception of 1t until tonight" Mr.
Worcester played with Junius, Brutus

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated
President Lincoln. Probably no other
living actor can say as much.
Retiring from the stage Mr.. Worcester
lived a short time in Warren and Rox-
bury and then went to Bridgeport, Conn,
where he was a member of the police
force over eight years. He then bought
farm mile from Montpelier, and after
living on it five years moved to Roxbury,
to be near the home of his brother. OF

The Original "Uncle Tom" a Vermont
Farmer TODAY,

Farmer Today.
The Northield News brings into the
limelight this week a real celebrity who
has heretofore escaped the attention of
the feature story wrters-Daniel Wor-
cester, the Original Uncle Tom" who at
the age of "A is blissfully following bu-
collie pursuits in Roxbury. Mr.. Worces-
ter was born in Warren in Washington
county, and after attending the district
schools went at the age of IS to Lowell,
Mass, to work in a bobbn factory. Be-
coming stage struck" Mr., Worcester
gained admission to the Aurora club, a
school for amateur actors in Lowell,
where he became associated with Den
man Thompson, E. w. Marston and
others who became noted professional
actors.
Mr.. Worcester began his stage career
as a utility man, and for months filled
minor roles at a regular salary When
Harriet Beecher Stoves immortal work
stirred the heart of the nation in the
early fifties it was sought as a vehicle for
dramatics, and George Aiken was the
first to successfully dramatic it, He or
ganized a company in Boston, with Mr..
Worcester as Uncle Tom" and after re-
hearsals in Boston the first presentation
was given in Natick, Mass. The expert
ment was so successful that Mr.. Aiken
took the company to Troy, N. Y, where
the first performance in a regular theatre
was given. Mr. Worcester continued in
the role of Uncle Tom" and in the next
two years appeared in New York, Spring
field and Worcester, Mass, and many
other cities. Mr.. Worcesters last en-
gagement before the war was in New Or
leans, Mobile and other Southern cities.
He and three other members of the COM
pany reached Ohio with great difficulty,
travelling by night six weeks and finding
shelter by day in negroes cabins.
Mr.. Worcester was in New York city
when the Second Vermont regiment went
through in 1861 and he then made up his
mind to enter the army. In 1862 he
planned to come to his native state to
enlist, but learning that a company was
being formed in Fair Haven, Conn, he
went to that place and was soon enrolled
as soldier Before going to the front he
married Susan Esther Blinn of Bridge
port, Conn, who is today the faithful
helpmeet of his home. Mr.. Worcester
was promoted from corporal to sergeant
and later to a second lieutenancy. He
was in the battles of Fcedericksburg,
Charlottesville and Gettysburg, in ad-

With no Success.
Mr. Frank Howe a prominent farmer in

the best physician in this county, who
treated me for about two years for rheu-
matism. I spent in that time several
hundred dollars and seemed to grow
worse instead of better each day Be
ing on crutches and forced to drive to the
train and hobbling to the doctors office
became very discouraging, let alone the
sleepless nights and fearful hours Of pain.
Being advised by a friend l purchased
Smiths Uric-O prescription, took 1t home
and used 1t that day as directed.
"Those fearful sclatic pains left me,
my blood seemed to let loose and flow
freely, I felt different and knew the next
morning I had found a cure, as l slept
and rested well all that night, something
/ had not done before in two years.

hundreds Of friends and acquaintance
and in every instance 1t gave remarkable
relief To every person who suffers from

and your suffering will soon end.

Anyone who doubts Mr.. Howe's expert

The manufacturers have so much con-

The Booming Wheat Market.

The government crop report for May 1,
issued Friday. dealt principally with win
ter wheat. The figures given were less
favorable than expected. and the con-
ditions since May l have not improved.
Flour had been selling at a lower figure
than other food stuffs considering It's
value and wheat had not advanced In
proportion with other cereals, so that It
was but natural that the wheat market
should go booming Immediately after the
appearance of the report. Early in the
week December options went to S1.03 and
September and July options high in the
nineties; since then there has been
slight reaction, but dollor wheat is the
prevailing cry in Chicago Dealers do not
believe that the advance is purely spec
ulative. They are of the opinion that
winter wheat will show a falling off from
recent years and that the conditions are
not now favorable for spring wheat. Ac-
cording to the government bureaus fig
ures the abandoned or winter-kllled acre
ageamounts to 3,533OOO acres-much
more than was supposed, reduc-
ing the acreage on the first of May to
IS 1872, 900. This figure is to be compared
with an acreage harvested last year of
90 900, and the year before of %, 900.
From Texas the reported abandoned and
wlnter-killed acreage is 20 per cent; in
| Oklahoma it is given at 80 per cent; in
California, IS per cent; while the average
throughout the county is IL per cent. In
! Argentina and European countries the
outlook for the wheat crop is also said
] to be unfavorable
