When it was near enough he fred and

Pure Food,

FUFS fOOQs
The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is q well
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less Injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
In a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
Injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders. He says that IL the
quantity of alum contained in a suf-
fctent quantity of baking powder for
batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful of food, and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.

Vermont Bear Hunter.

Allen Briggs. Jr., of Searsburg is
making record this season as bear
hunter, having brought into town two
specimens with the last ten days.
Both were bears that in the fall would
weigh nearly 200 pounds.
At this season the animals are thin
in flesh, having been out of their win
ter quarters but short time, but they
are hunted and trapped at this time
for the reason that the fur is in it's
best condition. While the bears are
in their dens for the winter the fur
has an opportunity to grow to it's full
length, and if the animal is caught
soon after it makes its first appear
ance in the spring, before it has had
opportunities to travel through the
brush and wear off it's coat, the skin
will be more valuable than at any
other time in the year.
Since the legislature removed the
$50 bounty on bears, four years ago,
the animals have increased in the
mountainous sections Of Vermont.

Fishermen Found Revolutionary Gun

Fishermen Found Revolutionary Gun.
John Morgan and other fishermen
were surprised Thursday when, upon
reaching shore, they found in their net
an old flintlock gun. The brand shows
the gun to be of English make, and It
was no doubt used in the Revolution
airy war or some of the Colonial wars.
A silver plate on the gun is as
bright, seemingly, as If it had been
placed there but yesterday. The flint
had been placed and the hammer
drawn back in readiness for firing.
The gun was found near the mouth
of Toussaint creek. few miles west
of the state rifle range, and is in a re-
markably good state of preservation,
considering the length of time it has
probably lain in the water.

John Wilson sat back in his seat

tramp, who had deserted him in a
farmers barn. He had been we'll

twenty he had robbed his benefactor,
run away, led a wild life for a year or
two, settled down for time, and
taken evil courses again.

MERELY mAklNaSwo
Target Practice Was Not 80 Important

40 Il 10 Now.
I'm recent years" said an ordnance
officer. everything on war vessel
gives way to target practice. The one
thing commander is more interested
In than anything else is the record
that his men can make at the ranges.
But there was time when the man
behind the gun was not recognized
as the most important element. in tho
efficiency Of a fighting ship.
ITO illustrates: I was junior officer
on the old Essex many years ago. In
those days we had a target practice
once a quarter. We were forced by
regulations to expend so many rounds
of ammunition every three months,
and-well, that was about all there
was to it. 1t was a perfunctory kind
Of practice and every one was glad
when it was over.
Zone day we went out for the quar-.
terly practice, anchored the target, and
went at it. The targets we used in
those days were three planks fas-
tened in triangle, spar stepped in
the center to hold the canvas which
formed the target proper:

smashed it into flinders. That, of
course, stopped the practice, and out
went a boat to tow the wrecked tar

when it had been patched up; it
was towed back to its place, and firing
was, resumed.
again the same gunner had the
first shot, and again his shell brought
down both the spar and the canvas.
"The boat was again sent out, but
when the repaired target was being
towed back to the range, the captain,
who was much out of humor by the
delay, spoke his mind

I will put him in the brig!'"

CHAPTER n,
At Draycott Hall.

The ancient home of the Bretting.
hams is one of the fairest that lie
among the Kentish hills. It is local
tradition that there had been a Bret
tingham at Draycott Hall since the
Crusades, and that it came into the
family when Sir Piers Buckingham,
gallant. soldier returned from the
Holy War and brought the news of
her fathers death in Palestine to Mar
jorie Draycott. He told her the sad
news so gently and with so much SYM
pathy that he won the lady's heart and
all the broad acres that went with her
hand.
The chronicles preserved by the
family did not go back SO far as the
Crusades. A fire, the unceremonious
treatment of the family treasures by
a party of Cromwellian soldiers in
search of royalist fugitive, and vari-
GUS other causes had been at work
during the centuries to leave gaps in
the record of the ancient house, But
the monuments in the old village
church which record the deaths of fair
danes and gallant knights who bore
the name of Buckingham date back
to Tudor days.
1t was only natural in these circum-
stances that the rockingham for the
+;r,o boino 1ord Of rx,oof< IJo11 cb o,,1a
be a person of considerable interest
to the good folks of the countryside.
There was more than even the usual
interest aroused when the local Cos
sips met and discussed the latest news
of Sir Mark Buckingham, the then
representative of the ancient race.
For it was known that that baronet
was past his sixtieth year and had for
some time been ailing, and that a
famous physician had been summoned
from London to consult with the local
doctor as to what certain alarming
symptoms which Sir Mark had lately
developed might mean.
For six-and-twenty years Mark Bret
tingham had borne the title and lived
at the Hall as it's master. He was in
India with his regiment when the
death of his uncle. bachelor, brought
him to his inheritance. He had not
! in his youth been particularly friendly
with his uncle, and so his future ten
ants had seen very little of him. But
he soon made himself beloved, and
when, after he had been at Draycott
Hall for couple of years, he brought
young wife home there was great re-
| joicing.
| That Mark Buckingham had previ-
ously married in India young Eng
| lishwoman who had gone out as gov.
| erness with an English family, few
people on the estate, IL any, were
| aware.
! The marriage was not a happy one.
Mrs. Buckingham was undoubtedly a
young woman of great physical charm,
but very early in her married life she
fell out of the good graces of the ladies
who constituted the female society"
of the up-country station at which the
regiment was quartered. Eighteen
months after the marriage Bretting-
ham announced that his wife had gone
to England and taken the baby, a lit
| tie boy, with her. Her health had been
I failing. he said, and 1t was thought
well that she should not remain in
Indio. ~.

Chief STRIKES BLOW AT
BREWERY LICENSE EVIL
SCHADE SALOON DUMMY IS
ARRESTED AND HELD ON
CHARGE OF SELLING LIQUOR
WITHOUT LEGAL PERMIT.

David Iukovitsch, proprietor OF
the Lika bar on Main av., was ar
rested by Patrolman Shannon this
morning and charged with selling
liquor without a license. Shannon
went into the saloon just before
noon to quell what threatened to
be a riot. He found gang Of
Austrians talking and shouting at
once. The proprietor didn't exact
ly order the policeman out, but he
intimated in poor English that the
officers presence wasn't needed.
This made Shannon angry and he
arrested the proprietor.
At the station he was inter-
rogated and informed the officers
that the Schade Brewing Co. own
ed his license. He was therefore
booked for having none himself.
Chief Rice set his bonds at $3.50.
This arrest brings up the inter-
esting fact that 200 out of the 210
saloons in the city are controlled
by the breweries and most of the
licenses are he,u in the names OF
lUS DICWCilCS. IL has al 20 OCCih
tn custom to allow these conditions
and in the past where attempts
have been made to secure prosecu-
tions for violation of saloon regula-
tions they have failed owing to a
disposition on the part of the au-
thorities to extend leniency to
brewery interests. This arrest in
dicates a proposed radical change
contemplated by the present admin
istration. Iukovitch will probably
be dismissed on this charge, but
orders will be given that the brew
cries must transfer licenses to
those conducting the saloons.
In many instances brought to the
attention of the police irresponsible
parties having the price of a
months rent and few hundred
dollars to pay down have been put
in saloons, with the result that the
police department has been handi-
capped in keeping down crime.

A second consignment of spoiled
veal from a dealer named Bowman,

Oakesdale, was confiscated and
sent to the crematory this morning
by Will H. Adams ,edputy state

night he received information that
Bowman had shipped 700 pounds Of
decomposing veal into the city, had
accompanied it himself and carted
1t away to some unknown storage
place to freeze 1t.
This morning he met Bowman
and demanded to be told where the
veal was secreted. Bowman at
first would not admit having
shipped any. Adams told him that
If he did not tell at once, he would
be arrested. Then Bowman took
the inspector to the cold storage
kept by Swift & Co., where the veal
was in process of freezing. Adams

TO ENJO|N CITY

Willett & Camp this morning
asked for temporary order re-
straining the city from interfering
with the erection of barn on
block "a, Heath's second addition.
They also ask for 5000 damages for
threats Of arrest which caused
them to cease operations.
They say they bought the prop
erty last May and in June began to
erect a barn. On July the coun-
Gil passed a new barn ordinance
prohibiting the erection or main
tenance Of barn with more than s
head Of stock in any block wherein
two-thirds Of the houses are resi-
dences or within 200 feet of resi-
dence. At this time they had ex-
pended $1,000 on the barn.
They continued work, however,
until threatened with arrest. They
claim that the city's action amounts
to taking of their property with
out due process of law and that it
discriminates unjustly in favor Of
teamsters and others having less
than s head of horses.
A hearing will be had tomorrow
morning.
