A WANDERING vERMoNTER.
Lyndon Man Had Visited Many Out
of the Way Places.

Nermonter whose career, could IL
be known in detail, all that he went
through and saw, would furnish material
for hundreds of novels of adventure, died
the other day peacefully in his bed, says
the Burlington News. The Nermonter IN
question was j. S. Thompson and he hail
ed from that home of Yankees, Lyndon
Center. He was 20 years old when the
California fever spread over the country,
and, catching the infection, he proceeded
to the Pacific coast, making the trip by
way of Cape Horn. He spent several
wears in the new Ell Dorado prospecting
as far as Colorado on the east and Wash
ington on the north.
In 1852 Commodore Perry sailed on his
famous expedition to Japan, which opened
the way to intercourse between that coun-
try and the western world. Mr.: Ihomp-
son Joined the expedition and for three
Years cruised about the coasts OF Japan,
China. etc.
Returning to California, Mr.. Thomp.
son soon went to Nicaragua to live and
prospered nicely for a year. Then one
fine day Capt William Walker the fam
Gus filbuster, landed with a little army
The Nicaraguan government proceeded TO
impress every man it could lay its hands
upon, and Mr.. Thompson was one OF the
conscripts. Nothing 10th, he shouldered
a musket and went forth to do battle Tor
the country of his residence. But in an
engagement with the filbusters he suffer
ed a wound from which he never fully
recovered, and this put an end to his
soldering temporarily,
When the war for the Union broke out
Mr.. Thompson managed to come home on
sailing vessel, but to his disgust he
was not allowed to enlist on account Of
his Nicaraguan wound. He perseve,red,
however and in 1862 he was mustered IN
as private in one of the Vermont regi..
ments and served through the rest of
the war, rising to the rank of captain
In the last victorious assault upon the
Notifications around Petersburg he was
severely wounded, but managed to come
home with his regiment, when all hands
were mustered out. The. next year, un:.
fortunately, he was married, and this, of
course, brought to an end his adventures
and done enough to make record for
single lifetime.

HUNTED FOR FUR AND OIL.
Cheerful Skunk Source of Revenue to
the Maine Farmer Boy.

Though Stunned by society and despised
by all save the hunter the skunk is a
source of large revenue to many persons
in Maine during the months when fur is
in its best condition. Skunks are easily
killed and nearly every farmers boy and
many farmer, too, turns over not a few
dollars by their capture and the sale of
their fur and oil.
Every acre of meadow land will have
from half dozen to dozen skunks
roaming about through the long grass in
search of their food, and only a stout
club is required by the expert to effect
their death. Many are trapped, and the
country lad who is acquainted with the
habits OF the little animals will now have
his traps set about the cornfield and hen
yards, places the skunks are most likely
to frequent.
The man who hunts the skunks for
their fur and oil will postpone his hunt
ing until late September. Then, when
the moon is bright and the nights are
getting frosty, the skunks roam abroad
in the greatest numbers. Then, too, the
fur has thickened after the shedding of
the old winters coat and the skins bring
the best price. The season for skunk
hunting. lasts, from the middle Of Septem-
Der until well into November. When the
heavy frosts of the latter month come
the fat sllunks which contain the val
liable oil den up for the winter Others,
which may not have the necessary fat to
carry them through the winter in snug
den, wander abroad all winter.
The prices paid for skunk skins are
regulated in large part by fashions in
furs The skins which are most valuable
are those of the darker animals. A pure
black skin is worth from 81 to 81, ac-
cording to quality. Striped skunk skins
bring from 25 to 40 cents, while those
with part stripe bring from so to. 7t
cents Three years ago the skin of a
dark skunk brought from $3.50 to 50, and
there were not enough of the skins TO
meet the demand. Since that time. how
ever, the muskrat has supplanted the
skin in popular favor and the decline in

Rutland Charter Rejected.

A bitter controversy was settled at the
polls in Rutland Tuesday when 4 refer
cndum vote resulted in the defeat. by
a vote OF So to lR, OF the proposed new
Rutland city charter, which was passed
at the last session Of the legislature. The
vote was light, owing TO the severe snow
storm. The opinion seems To he that a
heavier one would only have increased
the majority,
The charter was drawn last fall and
was introduced in the senate, passing the
house after amendments had stricken out
several provisions, Before its passage
there were several public hearings at
Montpelier aud Rutland at which warm
debates took place,
Considerable feeling was aroused IN Rut'
land, where il was claimed that the
charter was drawn and put through, not
ON its merits, but 10 further the inter.
csts of certain clique against those OF
the city,

POINTS CT DIFFERENCE.

Public and Private Methods Contrast
Differentiation vs.. Aggregation.
One controlling economic reason for
opposing public ownership is that ev-
ery individual in society prospers just
in nroboraon as Industry gets the best
there IA in human capabillty. On the
other hand. government control and d.
rection never get and in the nature or
things never can get all there is or the
best there is in human capablliiy.
Now the government may compete
with private enterprise in getting ca
pable men. but it has not thus far
shown anything of the capacity of a
private enterprise 10 assign the right
man always 10 the right place. The
agency which in private enterprise
succeeds so generally in eventually
landing In the right place the right
man is not simply good intention or
mere intelligence. but the intelligence
and intention which constantly study
the enterprise In hand, which make 1t
the one affair IN life, constantly
thought OF and planned for-an intelli-
gence and intention, too. which are
themselves as nearly as possible per
manent. That kind OF seeking out and
watchfulness few government depart
ments possess. The men in charge or
government dep@tments may be Intel
ligent and we'll intentioned, but they
are in today and out tomorrow. The
thing under them IS not their child.
They never, as q matter Of fact, get
their hands and their minds fully into
the work
Nor will civil service change this.
Civil service examinations may secure
capable men. but no civil service ex-
animation can assign the right man to
the right place. can pick out Of the
thousand capable men just the kind OF
capability that is fitted TO this place
and Just the kind that is fitted TO that.
Indeed, between government control
and private control the difference In
that respect is almost the exact differ
ence between what we call true or
ganization and what is the merest ag-
gregation. for In private enterprise
each man has come by process OF
attrltlon 10 the place he Is best fitted
10 I'll, while IN government employ
ment each man is dropped into his
place irrespective of special fitness and
under civil service is riyeted there

LITTLE INDIVlDUALISM THERE.
Why Public Ownership Is Popular In
European Countries.

In Europe governments are largely
paternal because of the lack Of indi-
vidualism. The very helplessness OF
the people fosters and necessltates pa
ternalism. That is why national and
municipal governments operate public
utilities. Under a monarchy, for that
reason, the tendency Of the people is
naturally toward socialism.
The phenomenal growth and pros
perity OF the United States have been
attained without either paternalism or
socialism. Compare the condition Of
the people here, their better living,
their comfort and happiness, with the
condition Of the people OF the nations
OF Europe. and there Is only one con
cIusiou-that is that for US individual
ism is the state policy, and we do not
have to borrow the institutions OF for
eign nations created by need from
which we are free. 1t is Just because
Of our indiydualsm that sociallstic in
stitutiOns and cooperative schemes
never prosper here.-Newark (N. j. Adj
yertiser.

Official. Already Overloaded.

A third general objection TO govern
ment agency rests on the principle or
the division Of labor. Every additional
function undertaken by the govern
ment Is a fresh occupation imposed on
body already overchargsd with
duties. A natural consequence Is that
most things are i'll done. much not
done at all, because the government IL
not able TO do 1t without delays which
are fatal TO It's purpose; that the more
troublesome and less SNOWY Of the
functions undertaken are postponed
and neglected. and an excuse ls always
ready for the neglect, while the heads
OF the administration have their minds
30 fully taken up with official detail, In
however perfunctory a manner superln-
tended. that they have no time or
thought to spare for the great interests
of the state and the preparation of en-
larged measures Of sound improve
ment.-JOhn Stuart Mil.
