TRUSTEE DISMISSED
Further Dissatisfaction Grows Out OF
Management Of Thompson Fund,

Brattleboro. March l9--The trus-
tees of the Thomas Thompson estate
of Boston have notified Mrs. A. j.
Currier. one of the two Brattleboro
women who act as agents OF the trus'
tees In distributing the benevolent
funds in this town, that they have APP
pointed Miss S. c. Stedman of North
ampton. Mass. in her place and that
her salary will stop April l. TIE rta-
son they give is not satisfactory TO
Mrs. Currier who has her own idea al
what the real reason is, but who de-
clines just now to state 1t
In her letter of dismissal, written
by r. NJ. Bradley one of the trustees,
It is said that the results OF the dis
tribution of the fund are not what the
trustees expected. At the same time
they say it is not Mrs. Curriers' fault
and they compliment her for her act
and ability. They further say that
they think the results will be better
| under some person employed solely by
| the trustees and this in the face OF
| the fact that Mrs. Currier has been
EMPLOYED by the trustees five years.
About $4,000 was distributed in
Brattleboro in the year covered by the
| last annual report of the trustees, in
direct aid to the seamstresses needle
women. and shop girls. who constitute
the classes of persons named in the
| will of Thomas Thompson for aid In
| times of illness or misfortune.
| There is a feeling among the ply
| sicians here that the beneficial re-
suits of the Thompson bequest would
be greatly improved in Brattleboro II
the trustees of the estate would con
fine their attention to matters con
corning the estate and turn over the
income for distribution by commit
tee of competent Brattleboro people
who know the existing conditions
much better than outsides possibly

WOMAN ALSO WANTED TO KNOW.
Proved She Could Ask Questions AZ
Well as Answer Them.

II happened at well-known savings

An sive-looking woman sailed
in to open an account. The clerk put
her through the usual string of ques-
tons, name, age, residence and finally
family. ANY brothers,"
Eyes, four" was the reply, and the
clerk recorded the genealogies of the
four
"Sisters?' proceeded the clerk.
Seven" answered the woman wear
lily, and was forced to relate the life
histories of the seven sisters.
When the clerk had at length writ
ten down the residence of the seventh
sister, the woman Strengthened up.
Now, look here, young man. I'm a
busy woman, and you've kept me
here answering your questions before
your bank will condescend to take my
money. Now I'll ask you few. How
many times has the president OF this
bank failed to be indicted"
The clerk dropped his pen dumb
founded.
How many times has he been In
iail?" the Amazon continued.
The bank clerk still stared In
amazement
How long since the last cashier
absconded?" Here the woman flung
her questions so rapidly the clerk
could not get In word edgewise.
The inquisitor paused moment Tor
breath, and the clerk pulled himself
together. Madam. assure you, ouI

"Oh, Is he?" exclaimed the woman

Then don't open any account in this

PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD
III, Weak and Emaeiated, Restored to
Health by vinol.

Mr.. J. w. Flagg of Portland, Me-.
writes: Our little daughter, six
years of age. after severe attack of
the measles, which developed into
pneumonia, was left pitifulIy thin,
weak and emanciated She had no
appetite and her stomach was so
weak it could not retain food. She
lay In this condition for weeks. and
nothing the doctor prescribed did a
bit of good and We were beginning to
think she would never recover.
AT this time We commenced to give
her Ninol and the effect was marvel
Gus. The doctor was amazed at her
progress. and when we told him We
were giving her Vinol he replied. 1T
is a fine remedy, keep 1t up We did
50 and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
said she would"
The reason Vinol accomplishes such
results when everything else fails
is because II is cod liver preparation
made by a scientific, extractiye and
concentrating process from fresh
Gods livers, combining with peptonate
of iron all the medicinal, healing, body
building elements of cod liver oil but

Page and Savings Bank Advertising
From the bellows Falls Times.

From the Bellows Falls Times.
Not so many years ago it was almost
as unprofessional for bank to adver-
tise as for doctor. OF late banks
have become more sensible but doctors
remain as hide bound as ever.
The man who has done more to
popularize bank advertising in Yer
mont than any dozen other men is
Hon Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park
In fact he has advertised the Hyde
Park Savings Bank so persistently
that other banks. particularly those
in the northern part of the state, have
been forced to advertise for self pro-
lection. Bank advertising in Vermont
is now considered quite the proper
thing.
Keep Vermont money in Vermont
for the development of Vermont is a
good rule for banking conduct and no
doubt most Vermont banks would like
to follow the rule II they could. II Is
simply impossible for all the banks of
the state to keep all Vermont money
in Vermont. The Hyde Park bank is
more fortunate than others in being
able to invest its money in the state
What appeals to the newspapers of
the state is Mr. Pages Astounding faith
| in the efficacy of advertising and his
persisteny in carrying out his convic
tons. That he pays his bills prompt
ly and is no kicker are also points in
his favor.
Through practical business methods
and sensible publicity he has built VI
| in a little one horse town hide bust
ness that leads the world. His am
bition seems to be to make his banl
as famous as his hide business.

State Forester E. M. Griffith Sends Spe-
cial Force of Wardens to Fight
Flames in North.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 15.-[Spe-
cial. state Forester E. NJ. Griffith has
appointed a special force of fire wardens
to fight the forest fires in the northern
part of the state. The special wardens
will organize the employees of the lum-
Der companies and fight the fires in a
systematic manner. Mr.. Griffith de-
clares that q majority of the fires are
caused by the criminal negligence of
the settlers who persist in allowing
brush and refuse to burn unmatched in
clearing tn. land. The railroads also
come in for their share of the blame
in starting CONGREGATIONS, and deputies
have been appointed to inspect all loco
motives to see that they are properly
equipped with spark arresters.

KAUKAUNA, Wis, Sept. 12.-[Spe>
cial. Reports from the Oneida Indian
reservation in Brown and Outagamie
counties state that the forest fires have
reached that locality, and the flames are
sweeping over the country near the res
ervation. The fires are approaching the
Indian tract from three directions de-
stroying farm property and timber land.
By far the most dangerous fire is rag
ing in the swamp adjacent to the reser-
walton, and unless the wind shifts the
buildings of the Oneida school will be IN
danger of destruction. The swamp IS
heavily wooded with tamarack and the
peat boys with which it is dotted, and
which have caught fire, make it difficult
to fight the flames.
Another fire is working down from the
direction Of Depere, while still another
is approaching the reservation from Sey-
mour. Many farmers have suffered loss
and the entire countryside has turned out
in an effort to check the oncomlng wall
of fire. The country is exceedingly dry.

Grand Marais, Mimi, be known. Last
evening the fast passenger steamer
America of the Booth line steamed out
of the harbor with cargo of supplies
for the north settlers. She will carry
relief to the little village and bring back
any homeless settlers found along the
north shore. The steamer Gopher is still
there fighting the flames. The Gopher
will not return till the town is destroyed

CLEVER RUSE IS F0ILED.
Shrewiness of Racine Tailor Prevents
Wholesale Delivery of Pris-
OuerS

RACINE, Wis, Sept 12.-The
shrewdness of Turnkey Patrick of the
Racine county Jail today prevented
what might have been wholesale Jail
delivery. Early this morning he was
aroused by the cries of the prisoners
who informed him that Adam Vournice,
held on charge of assault and intent
to kill, was badly hurt.
The turnkey was about to open the
inner cell door when he noticed that
the supposed blood stains on the shirt
of the prisoner were made by some
chemical. After an investigation it was
ascertained that Frank Burket, held on
a charge of highway robbery, had
planned the delivery and that William
Wheeler, a negro burglar, had stained
the shirt of Yournice. 1t was intended to
slug and kill Patrick, the turnkey, when
he came into the Jail and the entire lot

cape.
