~ sheriff, no man ever got away from
him"
(Editor.--The above statements are
substantially corroborated by people in
Barre who recall the exciting incidents
of the great bank robbery" as they
term it. A few additional facts may be
OF interest. 1t seems that the gang Of
robbers had visited Barre several weeks
prior to their descent on the town and
had laid their plans. But, as some
times happens, the best laid plans of
mice and men gang aft agley" and they
did in this case. For some reason, tho
bank officials went to work shortly after
that and placed a tine-loclS ON the vault.
This was unknown to the robbers, who
expected an easy entry to the strong
box by placing Cashier King at the
point Of a revolver.
So going to the cashiers house on
Hill street.-the house Just at the corner
of Liberty street-they made prison
en- of him. When they told him that
they wanted him to unlock the vault
for them, Mr.. King protested that q
time lock had Just been placed and he
was powerless to open it. But the
four men thought he was bluffing them,
and, hitehing rope around his neck
as an incentive to go with them, they
led him to the bank.
Mr.. King unlocked the outer door
of the safe and then told them no
couldn't 90 any further until the time
lock allowed next morning. Then one
of the robbers, said to be Miles, placed
his aer to the door of the vault and
hearing the ticking of the clock de-
clared to his two comrades "The jig's
up" Then they desisted and as they
were leaving the safe they spied the
rolls of unsigned national bank bills.
These they took along with them.
These notes were ell $40 and $50 de-
nominations, and since that time the
National Bank Of Barre has never is
sued any notes of these two denomina-
tions. From time to time these stolen
bills turn up with the signature of the
then president N. w. Braley written in
as m. w. Bradley"
But to resume the tale Of the rob-
berry. After finding themselves halted
Just at the threshold of wealth the rob-
bers left the bank with Cashier King,
took him back home, shackled him, also
is wife and their child, and then fled.
After a time Mr.. King was able to work
his bindings loose so that he was able
to walk. So, with hands shaclSled, he
walked back downtown to the home of
Leonard +. Aldrich, and the latter took
him to a blacksmith shop, opposite the
bank, and broke the shackles. Then the
story of the chase after the robbers is
substantially as stated in The Vermont
er's article.
For some time after the trying ex-
perienee Cashier King was incapacitated
for business. He had the fever and on
recovering he was in such a nervous
state that be was compelled to give
up the work, going to his home in
Canada and later finding his way TO
Boston, where he now resides. He Is
at present a man of considerable wealth,
having been at the head of a large
brewing concern, by which Kings Be-
hemian beer Is made.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

forks without faith are dead,
being alone.
The place of prayer is the throne
of character.
The balance of Time will be reset
in Eternity
Every grief may be an invitation to
greater glory.
If you would be sweet under strain,
keep in touch.
A dishonest man doesn't race for
honest criticism
Do as you please as long as you
please to do right.
This world was never yet lifted by
man who could not laugh.
The strength of life is not in its
intermittent enthusiasm, out in its
patience.
The worlds millions are the monu-
ments of base character and corrupt-
ed ideals.
1t is not the height attained, but
the climb, that counts in our measure
of the man.
Many a man would dress the
worlds wounds who would not stoop
to lift its burdens.
There is a righteousness that is os-
sified and cold; 1t lacks nothing but
the touch Of the cross.

Friendly Monkeys.

| have read somewhere a statement
says a writer in Ornithological and
Other Odities, that the anthropoid apes
prefer our company to that of their
fellow monkeys of lower degree, and
| saw it proved once in Calcutta. The
late w. Rutledge, for many years the
leading animal dealer there and mine
of natural history information, had a
young one in his yard, and at my re-
quest opened it's cage one day to let it
choose its society, when, quite disre-
garding the other monkeys, it imme-
diately came over to him and climbed
into his lap.
A fair sized female we had at the
Calcutta ZOO also was a most affection
ate creature. When / paid visit to
her she would always put her arm .af-
fectionately around my neck and while
being caressed and played with would
drop any food offered by other visitors.
Another specimen of the same sex
showed the less amiable side of its
character by long refusing the dona-
tions of one member Of the society be-
cause on one occasion he had first
given something to the other monkeys
in the same house.
But think it was on my very first
introduction to the orang that the
hidden humanity of the creature most
impressed me. This was many years
ago, when Abraham Bartlett was at
the London zoo; he gave me a private
interview with little orang which
had just arrived. The first thing the
little imp. did was to climb on my knee.
take off my hat and put 1t on his own
head, after which it proceeded grave
ly to pinch one of the superintendent's
eyelids. In short, it examined us with
scientific curiosity which in lower
animal was decidedly impressive. The
little man of the woods could not
have chosen more striking way oi
claiming kinship so often denied. :

stopped short, saying abruptly:

quiver, and thought that was slight
encouragement, he cried boldly:

know why you treated me so, but
only tell me that you will marry me
and will forgive you"
Evidently the answer must have
been satisfactory, for the next day

Battle With the Buttons.


Nov Dorothy must dress herself"
Said mamma one day;
"A little girl has more to do
Than just to run and play"
And Dorothy was very proud
To hear mamma declare
Sne thought her even old enough
To brush and comb her hair.
So Joyfully she set to work
One morning bright and fair,
forgetting that with buttons sne
Was fastened everywhere.
To right-to t-before-behind-
They stood in grim array;
What seemed so easy with nurse,
Was hard the other way.
Poor Dorothy! She was distressed.
What shall / do?' she cried.
MY buttons won't go through their holes
Although I've tried and tried.
My thumbs are sore, my fingers acne
My arms are far too short
To catch the buttons in the back,
AS nursey says l ought,
IF l were only Martha Jane,
How easy it would be!
But then, of course, one can't SUCK pms
In flesh and blood like me.
l think, mamma'-here Dorothy.
Quite slowly shook her head,
IF nurse can't put those buttons through
I'd rather stay in bed.

Execution of a Queen Bee.

sent off with a swarm in the usual
wa ythe bees will supersede her. They
will deliberately put her to death,
and raise another queen to take her
place. This state execution of the old,
worn-out queens is one of the most
curious and pathetic things in or out
of bee-life. One probe with sting
would suffice in the matter; but the
honey-bee is a great stickler for the
proprieties. The royal victim must be
allowed to meet her fate in royal
way; and she is killed by caresses,
tight-locked in the joint embrace OF
the executioners until suffocation-
brings about her death.-London Pail

following morning to see huge rat
beside the jar, sending his long tail
down to the bottom, bringing IL up

FOR lvoRY-HANDLED KNIVES.
How They May Be Cleaned Withou,
Being Harmed.

Ivory-handled knives may be clean
ed In this way; coat the steel with
wax or paraffin, and immerse the han
dies in a solution of chloride of lime
and water. in the proportion OF one
part of lime to four parts of water.
Leave the knives in this bath for a
day, then wash well with warm water
and wipe dry. Remove the wax If the
bone is perfectly white and free from
stains.
Another way is to dip the handles
in saturated solution OF alum and
water for from one to three hours.
then wash and wipe dry. This latter
method is far preferable unless the
handles are very much darkened and
discolored. Polish the blades with
putty powder, using buffer wet with
alcohol. This will not stain the ivory.

IN TIME OF SICKNESS.
Simple Remedies That Have Been
Proved of Value.

To induce perspiration, wiring a
blanket out in hot water, and
wrap it round the patient. Then
pack in three or four dry blankets and
allow him to repose for 80 minutes.
The coverings may then be taken off,
and the surface of the body rubbed
with warm towels.
1t is, as a rule, best to apply com
presses at night time, as it is difficult
to keep them in position while moving
about. After removing them in the
morning, sponge the affec ed parts
with cold water, so as to restore the
tone of the skin.
Take jug of hot water containing
the drug which has to be inhaled.
Hold the face over the jug, and ar
range towel so that it covers the
face below the eyes, and surrounds
the top of the jug. The medicine is
thus breathed through the mouth and
nose.
