some of them thinking they had AS soon
take their chances. Ii they have already
been exposed vaccination will not prevent
the disease but will have tendeIicy to
make it lighter. The real scare came
on Thursday when it was learned that .
gentleman from Landgrove had attended
the reunion OF the Legislature OF 1905
which was held at the Montpelier House
on Tuesday evening. More than hun
dred members were present from all
parts of the state aud ali were crowded
together in the dining room for several
hours during the banquet aud speeches,
