ants is taken up by the court, it being
that the local option law contains an
unconstitutional delegation Of legisla-

processes provided by said sections are

decision in Rice VS.. Foster can have no
application in the present case. The
court asserts that the question sub

enforcement Of pnalties was a con-

court says;
The defendants objection to the act

court says it has bee nheld that the

The court also decides that the law
does not contain more than one SUBJ

made by the defndants The court
quotes many decisions, and remarks
that many states in the Union have in
their constitutions provisions similar
to that in the Delaware constitution,

STARING at Royalty.

Royalties are early cured Of any shy
ness Of being looked at. They are there
to be seen, and both the king and
queen when they go to the opera and
turn their glasses on the occupants
of opposite boxes are openly amused
by the disconnected looks Of persons
who feel abashed under the inspection.
Not a trace of self consciousness is left
on the face OF an English royalty, with
the exception Of perhaps a single
princess under an artillery Of glances.
Such attentions are anything but re-
sented. Indeed, the beautiful Duchess
of Deyonshire used to say that when
the butcher boy ceased to turn round
after her In the street she would know
her reign was over.-London Chronicle.

The Way tho Writer Got Even With
the Heartless Editors.
'Lafcadio Hearn. that wonderful
writer, worked on newspapers in his
youth" said a publisher, "and the
ruthless way his studies were chang
ed, cut and butchered was a great woe
to his heart
"In after years Hearn took a mali
eious JOY in collecting stories about
editors--editors and their superior and
omniscient way with manuscript
"One Of his stories was of an editor
to whom a subscriber said

ages Of man In today's paper, Mr..
sheers; / enjoyed It immensely. Do
you know, though, I thought that 1t

$50 it was, sir; so it was, said Edi-
tor Sheers pompously. Yes, the ex-
tract was originally written the seven
ages Of man. but 1 had to cut It down
for lack Of space
Another story concerned a weather
report A reporter, discussing the
weather, wrote that winter still lin
gered in the lap Of spring.
''The editor as he read over the arti-
Gle called the reporter up to his desk
and told him that he would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
In springs lap. He said the idea was
good enough and original and all that
sort of thing, but it would not do to
publish because the high moral tone
Of the paper had to be maintained in

CcOntInued FROM first PaEol

penalty not exceeding twenty years.
Imprisonment
Acquittal on the ground of insanity.
A blunt demand for Harry X. Thaw's
life was the climax Of a wonderful
summing up speech by District Attor-
ney Jerome to-day.
Executing an obvious flank move
ment. Jerome switched from the stand
he took in his speech at the first trial,
when he sought to defend Stanford
Whites name and declared that he be-
lieved Thaw's victim guilty Of all the
vile and despicable crimes with which
he had been charged. He admitted
that he believed White had wronged
Evelyn Nesbit in a manner which no
man could be expected to forgive, and
in rehearsing the girls wrong at the
dead architects hands brought the first
evidences of real emotion TO the face
Of the prisoners wife that has been oh.
served during the present trial Then
after kindling hope In the breast Of
Tahw's interest-rapt relatives, Jerome
wheeled dramatically and denounced
Thaw as a cowardly murderer who
had slain, not to revenge a wronged
wife. but to satisfy deep-seated
hatred and an undying grudge He
ridiculed the defepses plea.
"This crime demands a verdict OF
first degree murder thundered Je-
rene, "but II you gentlemen cannot see

cost an extra S35o.0O0 over and above
the sum set aside for the purpose to
get her into the water. On her trial

and carried on so outrageously that
her crew thought her surely bewitched.
She had started badly. While she was
building a pay clerk sent by one Of
the contractors with $4,000 in wages
tor the ruen disappeared. II was not

and outer castings Of steel the skeleton
Of a man. Papers which had. fallen
from his clothes enabled bis identity
to be traced 1t was the skeleton Of
the pay clerk who thirty years before
had disappeared. There was no mon

The supposition is that the poor fel-

A RECORD BREAKER
Last Years Sales of HyOmei, the
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh,
Larger than Ever.

So pronounced is the relief and cure
following the use Of Hyomei, that it
has been publicly recommended by
leading druggists and physicians in
nearly every state and town in the
country, with the result that last
years sales were larger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple
and complete, and that it cures catarrh
by breathing medicated air and not by
taking drugs into the stomach, no
doubt has helped to create this wide
spread and rapidly increasing army
of friends.
You do not risk penny in testing
the healing powers of Hyomei, for Fred
D. Pierce, a Barton druggist, will
sell you dollar outfit with distinct
guarantee to refund the money if the
treatment fails to give satisfaction.
Sold and guaranteed in Barton Lam
ding by F. J. Kinney.

ENGINEER ALMOST HALF
CENTURY.

Leroy S. Howe, the oldest engineer
in point of service on the Passumpsic
division of the Boston & Maine rail-
road, having served continuously for 46
years, in that time has traversed
more than l, 500, 900 miles.
Mr.. Howe was born in Grafton De-
,cember II, 1887. In December, 1861,
he entered the employ of the Pas
.sumpsic railroad In April, 1862, he
began work as fireman. In July, 1862,
he enlisted as private in Company d,
10th Vt. Regt., under command of Col.
w. G. Veasey. At Union Mills, Va,
he was promoted to corporal and had
charge of the pioneer corps of the reg
iment on the seven days march to Get
tysburg and during the battle. The
regiment was mustered out in the fall
of 1863 and after short illness Mr..
Howe returned to his work as fireman.
June /, 1865, Mr.. Howe was promot-
ed to engineer and drew his first pas
senger train in 1867. He has served
under nine master mechanics and dur
ing this time there have been five super
intendents. Mr.. Howe was fireman on
the first regular train that ran into
Newport. and engineer on the first one
that ran to the Canadian line. There
is only one other man in the employ OF
the company who was on the rolls IN
M nf
the most careful engineers in the serv-
ice and consequently has had very few
accidents and no passenger or employee
was ever killed by. his train. He has
had more than 40 regular fremen serv-
ing with him, 35 of whom have become
engineers, and Is of these are en-
ployed on the road. Mr.. Howe tells Of
a case of man who acted as fireman
under him and after running few
years retired. After a period OF II
wears this mans son came to work for
the road and served part of his ap-
premiership for Mr.. Howe, became
an engineer, and has been running
for about 10 years.
Mr.. Howe has had some prominent
men working for him at different times.
George S. McKinnon, a master me-
chanic on the Canadian Pacific rail-
way, and brother of the late General
Manager T. A. McKinnon, was once a
fireman for him, and Daniel Willard,
who held high position on the Balti-
more & Ohio, Erie, and Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy roads, and who is
now second vice president of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, served with
Mr.. Howe as spare fireman.

GREATEST LUMBER CUT.

More lumberw as cut in the United
States last year than in any other year
in its history. The enormous amount
of 81, $50, 1876 board feet was produced,
and the mill value of this was 1921,
49, 1888. In addition, there were pro-
duced 1858, 26O, 900 shingles, valued at
$24, 155, 555, and 3,812,8O7, 900 lath,
valued at $11, 49O,57O. On the whole,
it is safe to say that the present annu-
al lumber cut of the United States ap-
proximates 40 billion feet, and that the
total mill value of the lumber, lath,
and shingles each year produced is not
less than S7OO,O0OO,OO. These figures
give some idea of how vast is the lum-
Der industry and how great is the de-
mand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing
of white pine and oak, one the greatest
soft wood and the other the greatest
hard wood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut of white
pine has fallen off more than 40 per
cent, while that of white oak has fall
len off more than Sc per cent. To-day
yellow pine leads all other woods in
amount cut, while Douglas fir-and this
will be surprise to many-comes Sec
ond. Since 1899 .the cut of Douglas
fir has increased 1856 per cent. Louis
lana is the foremost yellow pine state,
with Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas
following in order. Washington pro-
duces by far the greatest amount of
Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber produc-
ing states shows that since 1899 their
have been many changes in.their rela-
tive rank. Washington, which in
1899 stood sixth, now leads, while Wis
consin, which eight years Iago led all
others, is now third. In the same
period Oregon, Louisiana, mississippi,
Idaho and California made great
strides as lumber-producing states,
though, on the other hand, the amount
produced in Michigan, Wisconsin, Mimi
esota, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, Indiana and Ohio.fell.off any
where from 20 to 81 per cent.
The highest priced native woods are
walnut, hickory, and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white fir
From the fact, however, that since
1899 the average increase in the price
of lumber has been 40 per cent, it viii
not be long before cheap woods are few
. and far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut of the
United States in 1906 are contained
, in Circular 122 of the Forest Service
which can be had upon application t.
