George H. Prouty of Newport will
give Vermont an administration Of
which it will be proud. Two years
hence some of Mr.. Prouty's present

porters, as was the case with Governor

In framing a platform on which to
stand he did not fear nor favor corpor-
ations or money interests, and the Wig
or of his manhood will assure the state
of his best work and efforts to carry
out the policies expressed and work

treats of several vital points of. Interest

that of the great increase in the num-

lage hotel the landlord found out what
an honored guest he had and refused to

to leave when the landlord beckoned
him aside and said:
Stranger, being an editor, you can
do anything. It's up for me to go to

sheriff of this county

And I've got brother in law who
wants an easy job in Washington. It's
got to be an easy job, as he has a lame
back
Anything more?' asked the editor.
I've got cousin Joe who'd like to
90 down to Panama and a nephew who
wants to get into bank, and if you
don't mind being put to little trouble
.nd would say I'm wi lower and want

Occasion Was One for Sweetheart to
Make Herself Useful.

Health Commissioner Darlington OF
New York says it is a crime to keep
dog in city. Aside from the cruel
ty to the neighbors through the dogs
howls," said the commissioner, there
is the cruelty to the dog itself to be
considered, dogs having been made for
an open-air, active, country life. These
city dog owners profess to love their
pets. 1t seems to me that their love
is about as selfish and forgetful as
that of the young Brooklyn plumber.
"A young Brooklyn plumber went to
Shawnee to spend his vacation with
his sweetheart. One lovely morning,
as the two were strolling in a green
and perfumed meadow, a bull APP
peared. The bull studied the intrud-
ers. His head lowered, he paved the
turf. Then, all of a sudden, he rushed
upon them at laundering gallop.
OH! cried the young woman. oh,
he's coming straight for US! What

stand there doing nothing. Come and

HAVE THINGS THEIR OWN WAY
Bandits of Odessa Rob and Stay with
Comparative Immunity.

Recently the country round Odessa.
Russia, has been infested by armed
bandits, who swoop Unexpectedly on
country mansions and loot them before
the inefficient authorities can get wind
of the attack People unfortunate
enough TO witness the raid are muir
dered. as a safeguard against evidence
of the crime. Two remarkable tales of
the banditti are among the latest re-
ports from Odessa. A large party OF
peasants, enraged by the murder Of
some of their number, managed to sur
prise two of the bandits, whom they
disarmed and took into field. There
a grave was dug, and, after binding
their prisoners, the peasants threw
them into the grave and buried them
alive A wooden cross, painted black,
was erected to mark the tragedy, when
the earth had been stamped hard. Mr..
Arthur Herbert King, the English
manager OF an Odessa tannery, put
fear into the hearts of band OF six,
who rushed into the office with revol-
vers, crying, Hands up" The pro-
prietor and half a dozen OF MS stan
present obeyed; but to the amaze
ment Of the robbers, who had never
experienced such an incident, the Eng
lishman, though unarmed, refused. The
bandit covering him pulled the trIg-
ger, but fortunately. the weapon
missed Are. He drew his dagger, but
King as an Englishman, struck his
comrades hand down. The robbers
dscamped with $1,000.

Cars Many Thrones.

Emperor Nicholas of Russia has
many thrones. The three chief ones
are those at the imperial palace and
the winter palace at st. Petersburg,
and in the Kremlin at Moscow. This
last was a present to Car Alexis n
1860 from the shah of Persia. 1t is
entirely covered with thick plates OF
gold set with precious stones and al
ternating with plaques of ivory, CHS
eled in high relief. The fact and date
Of the presentation are recorded in
an inscription on the back OF the
throne. Just above are glistening
double headed eagles of Russia, with
angels on either side supporting the
imperial crown. In the imperial pal
ace at st Petersburg the throne
stands in an alcoye of the marble
throne ROOM with a wide-stretching
canopy with thick gold cords and deep
fginges of gold embroidery. On the
curtains behind are emblazoned the
arms of the Romanoffs Surmounted by
the crown, with a curious starshaped
border all round. Three wide steps
lead up to the throne.
