RECALLS WARM WINTER
Jan. 1889 Mother of w. w. Tower OF
Rutland Made Maple Syrup.


w. w. Tower of Rutland remem-
bers winter much milder than the
present one. He says:
"ln the fore part of January in
either 1889 or 1910 it was so warm
that my mother made three gallons of
maple syrup from few trees sit
uated back of the house, ano the
month of December had also been
very warm. | remember that revival
meetings were being held in Center
Rutland. The meetings were conduct
ed in the church which was afterward
remodeled into the building used for
the Vermont Marble Cos store which
was burned few days ago. The peo-
pie who owned teams took turns
bringing the people from the sur
rounding country to these revival
meetings. / attended several of them
with my mother and remember that
the mud was very deep"
Mr.. Tower expressed amusement
over story published a few weeks
ago about the finding of a grasshopper
in the northern part Of the state. He
says that he can go out any day dur
ing the winter when the ground is free
Of snow and collect a pint Of grass
hoppers. They can be found, he says,
around rocks, stone walls or old hay
stacks. It takes a close search to
find them as in the dormant state
they take the color Of whatever they
are lying on. II they are scooped up
in can and put in warm place they
will soon be as lively as in the sum-
mer time.

VERY FIRST SIGNS.
or SCI ious Kidney Trouble are Generally
In The Back.

Take care of backache. A great

reported about here, also bladder trou

An authority once stated that pain
in the back loins or region of the kid

hangs out to notify the sufferer that
there is something wrong with the kid.
neys which should receive immediate
attention. Only vegetable treatment
should be administered and absolutely
no strongly alcoholic patent medicines
which are harmful to the kidneys and
bladder.
The following prescription, while
simple, harmless and inexpensive. is
known and recognized as sovereign
ingredients can be obtained at any
good prescription pharmacy and any
one can mix them: Compound kargon
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla, three ounces. Shake well in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
But unless you go to the trouble to
ask the druggist for the Dandelion and
Sarsaparilla separately, and then buy
one ounce Kargon Compound, in an
original (unopened) package, plainly
printed, Guaranteed No. los under the
Nation Drug Law, and mix the Kargon
with the other ingredients at your
home, you had better not use this Of.
fectve prescription at all. 1t may be
worse than useless, perhaps even
harmful and your money wasted. I'm
der no circumstances accept the pres
cription all ready prepared, nor accept
any excuse for Offering it to you that
way, Purchase separately the Kargon
Compound, No. 10S Guarantee, as ex-
planned above, and mix these ingredi-
ents at home yourself or don't use at
all.
This preparation is said to restore
the natural function of the kidneys,
so they will sift and strain the pois-
onous waste matter, uric acid, etc.
from the blood, purifying it and re-
lieving rheumatism. Backache will be
relieved, the urine will be neutralized
and cleared and no longer a cause If
irritation, thereby overcoming such
symptoms as weak bladder, painful,
frequent and other urinary difficulties.
! This is worth trying and may prove
just what many people here need.

cHlLpREN's HOME SCANDAL
Serious Charges Made Against Man.
agement of institution.

South Hero, Jan. 9.-Serious char
ges against the management of the l..
and l.. Mott home, an institution for
the care of needy children, located in
this town, have been made, and pro-
test to the governor has been signed
by the following women Mrs. H. w.
Como, Miss H. S. Clark, Mrs. Juan
Robinson, Miss Clara Tracy, Miss
Della W. Harris, Miss Augusta NJ.
Phelps, Mrs. Charles Conlin, Mrs,
Frank Hall Mrs. Mabel Il. Adams, Mrs
c. w. Petty, Mrs. Julia d. Hall, Miss
May Como.
The petition and declaration also re-
cites charges against a man hired by
the trustees some four years ago for
farm manager These charges are
based on stories told by two girls, If
and 10 years old, who were inmates OF
the home last February. At that time
there We're five girls and four boys at
the home. The elder of the two girls,
Josephine Norcross, appealed to the
two women trustees in behalf Of her
self and the other girl, Reva Allen.
The Allen girls father came from
Hampden, Me-, and took her and a
younger sister, also at the home,
away with him.
The declaration also says:
The two lady trustees wrote to II.
o. Wheeler about it, as the president
of the board was away from home at
the time, asking him for an immediate
investigation and dismissal of the
farm manager, with the result that,
after ten days or two weeks they were
informed that the three men consid
cred the farm manager innocent, he
was to stay the year, and that, If the
Norcross girl was to be supported by
the home she must go back and live
as before otherwise they would do
nothing further for her.
THE two ladies then appealed to
c. c. Fits (attOrney-generaD for ad-
vice and help, which he readily prom
Used. After some correspondence he
called a meeting of the board Of trus.
tees at the home June 49, where he
questioned them and the Norcross
girl. We suppose he has dropped the
whole subject"
This communication was replied to
by Governor Proctor, November rs, as
follows
Il have just received your document
dated November 81, regarding the con
ditions at the l.. and l.. Mott home in
your town. The encouragement
spoke with me about the matter when
he had it under consideration before,
and know that he felt that he went
into the matter very carefully, and
that there was nothing that warranted
his taking any action at that time. !
know he would be very prompt and
determined in his purpose to actually
take hold to right any wrong of this
kind that might exist. / am taking
the matter up with him again today,
and assure you that We shall both OF
us do everything within our power to
look into this fully and take such ACT
ion as the case warrants. If you have
any further information regarding it
should be glad indeed to hear from
you.

REMARKABLE HUNTER
Aged Man Has Not Visited Village
Seven Miles Distant In 20 Years

Far upon the mountain side, two
miles off the road through Bolton
notch In one of the most beautiful
but most unfrequented spots in Yer
mont, little known and little knowing,
live old Julius Devine and his faith
full wife. In spite of the seclusion
and wildness of the location their
house is well-built structure of COM
Portable appointments. Uncle julius"
keeps it well painted and Aunt 10"
is a model housekeeper.
it is said that the old man has not
been to the village. seven miles away,
for over twenty years, but his wife
makes occasional trips to the village
store to sell pelts and make the neces-
sary purchases. The couple follow the
primitive customs of the early set
tiers. They are contented and indie.
pendent, supplying the greater part
of their needs from the soil and the
game that roams the thick forests On
the mountain side. They keep few
hens and COW, till few acres of
land with the aid of a venerable
horse, whose age is as questionable
as that of the old people themselves.
What little money they need is gain
ed through the furs that the old man
traps and shoots. In all New Eng
land there is probably not another
hunter so skilful as Uncle julius
Some say this quaint old ,man is
over 80 years old, but he looks
scarcely over 80 and is very active
He uses an old smooth-bore rifle, a
