Cattle commissioners Report.

Cattle commissioners Report.
Unless an error has been made in
the recapitulation tuberculosis in cat
tie and CHAMBERS in horses, according
to the report of State Cattle Commits
sioner H. S. Wilson of Arlington,
have cost the state Of Vermont the
sum of $SS,S7733 during the twenty
months ending September l, 1908. OF
this total $72, 413.S2 was paid for cat
tie condemned and slaughtered; ST.
46451 for veterinaries' services and
expenses; $4,77995 for the expenses
and salary of the commissioner; 49,
0l7 for cattle shipped from this state
to Massachusetts, and slaughtered by
the authorities in that state because
found to be afflicted with tuberculo-
sis.
A careful reading Of the commits
sioner's report, which will be found
in this issue Of the Banner cannot
fail but give the impression that the
state is paying out too much money
in this department. 1t is evident
from the report, too, that the commits
sioner intends to convey this impress
sion and his recommendations plain
~ advise a reduction of this expense.
If the laws relating to contagious dis
eases of domestic animals are enact
ed for the purposes Of eradicatng an
evil the recommendation Of the com
missioner that the per cent. paid to
owners OF condemned stock be reduc-
ed and that the owners bear a larger
proportion of the loss ought to appear
reasonable to the uupreiudiced mind.
There is no denying the fact that
the impression has gained a ioothold
in the state that many of the farmers
are taking advantage Of the law TO
find a market for their rundown
stock. Whether instances Of this
alleged imposition on the state are

The Times Have Changed.


The Times Have Changed.
The retirement OF Frederick G.
Fleetwood, Of Morusville from the
Office OF secretary of state, which he
has held with credit for the past eight
years is made the occasion for well
deserved newspaper commentator of
his official career in which The Mes
senger cordially joins. The Office of
secretary OF state, like other similar
offices of the state government, has
been gradually extending its actiyi-
ties in the past few years and under
the administration of Mr. Fleetwood,
has probably been the busiest IL has
ever been in this generation.
There was a time not so very long
ago when the venerable DR. George
Nichols, secretary of state, could al
most carry all the flies of his Office
around in his hat and certainly did do
the business Of the Office with compar
atiyely little assistance or eXpendi-
ure of his own time, for that matter,
here was q time not SO very long
ago. when Col Il. Henry Powell OF

of the maintenance of the guberua-
torial Office has been paid for out of
the governors own pocket Some
governors fortunate enough TO be
men of fortunes an large affairs have
been able TO enlist IN the service Of
their Office competent men already In
their private employ so that the state
has enjoyed the fruits of their lahors
without paying for them. These men
have also performed no small part OF
their necessary travelling IN the inter
est OF the state at the expense OF
their own private purse.

Says the master of the vine
yard to the idle and the poor:
Long the hours and hard the
labor, but the recompense is
sure, and the bread that's earn
ed by toiling is the best that man
can eat; and the sleep that fol-
lows labor, like an infants sleep,
is sweet; and the gold that pays
the worker is the cleanest meath
the sky; come and labor in the
vineyard; | will pay you by and
by" But the toilers look so
dirty, and their hands are hard
and brown; and they havn't half
the comfort that a fellow has in
town., for the vineyard has no
poolrooms, and no joints to keep
one wet, and | see no bowling
alleys where the toilers groan and
sweat; and | am fond of easy
money, billiards., poker, debts
and things, so the vineyard does
not lure me. even when it's mas
ter sings.

The Spirit of Kindness.

Whatever failure there may
seem to be in our ministry of
kindness, through the shutting
of lives against it, our hearts
never lose any of their compass
sion and yearning. One writes
of finding a fresh water spring
close beside the sea. Twice ev-
cry twenty-four hours the tide
rolled over it, burying it deep
under their brackish floods, but
when the bitter waters rolled out
again, the spring was found as
fresh as before, with no faint of
the salt sea in it's sweet stream.
So should it be with the heart of
love. When the tide of injus-
tice, unkindness or cruelty have
swept over it, it should emerge
unembittered, patient, longsuff-
ering, meek, rich and ready for
any new service for which there
may be opportunity tomorrow

St Petersburg's Curfew.

The st. Petersburg authorities
are enforcing the curfew law,
and it is working a hardship in
some cases. A case in point is
wherein Chief Casters saw a boy
on the street, just after ringing
the curfew. He told the lad he
must go home or be put in Jail.
All right" said the boy, ''I'll
go to jail"
But why don't you go home
asked the officer.
Il don't want to go home.

Apropos of literary coinciden-
ces, Tennyson writes: "A Chi
nese soldier some time ago wrote
to me saying that in an unknown,
untranslated Chinese poem there
were two whole lines OF mine al
most word for word. Or, again,
in the case of Byron. who, in his
monody on the death of Sheri
dan, where he says there will
never be another Sheridan, the
mold being broken up, he en-
ploys, word for word, terms in
which an ancient Sanskrit docu-
ment refers to the death of Ma
ru, Notwithstanding that Byron
could never have seen the docu-
ment. And, one more, Shakes
peare's Romeo and Juliet" act
II, scene 2, is almost identical
with a quotation from "Malata
and Madhava," an Indian poem
by Bhavabuti, written nine cen
turtles before and not trans lated
up to Shakespeare's time. So
history repeats itself.

A young woman in another

of the third degree her sex was
discovered. 1t seems that in the
third degree they have an India
rubber rat and a celluloid snake,
which run by clock-work on the
inside and were very natural in
deed. The idea is to let them
run at the candidate to see if he
will finch. When the snake ran
at the girl she kept her nerve all
right; but when the rat tried to
run up her trouser leg she grab

hands and jumped into a refrig-
