Bear Chased Girls in Ripton

Miss Bessie Mills and Miss Mandy
Simmons of Middlebury were hero
ines Of an encounter with big
black bear while driving home from
Ripton the other night, says The
Boston Herald.
The bear stopped in the middle of
the road directly in front Of their
horse. The horse leaped to one
side and carried the sleigh and the
two girls down bank one hundred
feet The bear followed and had
almost reached the girls when Fred
Murphy, who was in another team,
hearing cries, went to their rescue.
When he appeared the bear fled.
The girls escaped with few bruises,
but the sleigh was smashed and the
horse received several cuts. 1t was
necessary to summon help from
Ripton, about a mile distant, to get
the horse out OF the ravine.

Back From the Philippines

William M. q. Howard, who re-
Gently received his discharge from the
army after IA years service, and
who is visiting his former home, has
seen a good deal Of active service
in Cuba and the PHILIPPINES. He left
the Philippines last year, in all
spending over five years in the
islands, first with the Third Cavalry
and hen in Co. L., 10Th infantry,
For ,he past five months he has been
stationed in Texas and he finds the
Vermont climate bit severe after
his tropical experiences, not having
seen any snow for ten years.
M. Howard brings some interest
ing photographSfrom the Philippines
taken by himself. Uncle Sans
soldiers are not armed with cameras,
but the amateur photographers on
the march can usually get a young
Filipino to go along and carry their
picture-making apparatus and thus
get~in snap shot occasionally. Mr..
Howard trusted one forgetful "kid"
with 500 outfit, and has waited
some years for its return.
Mr.. Howard was in Mindanao, the
homo of the Moros, for over two
years, and seems to have been on
speaking terms with some of the ma
tive chiefs he has been up against
with bullet and kodak there and in
Luzon and Holo, where he was also
stationed.
The Moros he characterizes as
childish in many ways; mourning
like an infant over the loss of an old
brass watch chain the gift of sol
der, and they are cruel and treach-
erous in war The Filipinos he says
are remarkably intelligent and de-
sirous of education and enlighten-
ment
During the harvest season the
Moros are quiet, but following this
comes a religious dance which the
American troops have learned is a
signal for trouble.
Mr.. Howard bears the mark of one
or two hand to hand fights, style of
warfare which pleases some of the
inhabitants Of our distant posses
! sions. They follow a small detach-
mem of soldiers hidden by the tall
grass, and the latter know a fight is
on when they find themselves sur
rour ded by dark skinned hostiles.
Thel its every man for himself and
small bodies of men are often cut to
pieces in this way.
W hen Mr.. Howard was in Manila
he had occasion, as orderly, to deliver
a me ssage to Assistant Quartermastel
General Crosby Miller, who found
that he was from Woodstock, and
Mr.. Howard learned that his thanks
were due to General Miller for his
promotion which soon followed.

CHANGE OF FAIR DATE
Windsor County Fair Viii be Held
Sept. IS, rs and II

At meeting Of the board Of man
ayers of the Windsor County Agri-
cultural Society, held Tuesday after
noon, the date of the annual fair this
year was changed to Sept. Is, l6 and
II, one week earlier than at first
announced.
The clash of dates between the
State fair and the Valley fair at Brat
tleboro led to the change, which gives
the State fair the week first taken by
the Windsor County show, thus
avoiding any competition with the
Valley fair;
The local managers. seem satisfied
with the change, which ends dis
cussion that threatened to make fur
Their trouble.
Secretary F. L. Davis of the State
fair association was present at Tues
days meeting.

RECIPE FOR RHEUMATISM
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet Remarkable,
Home Mixture


There is so much Rheumatism
here in our neighborhood now that
the following advice by an eminent
authority who writes for readers of
large Eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake these we'll in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty Of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple homemade
mixture, and in most cases a perma-
nent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina.
tive tissues of the Kidneys, so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism, but numerous
other diseases. Every man or wom-
an here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who
suffer from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to
make up the mixture, as it is GER
tain to do much good, and may save:
you from much misery and suffering
after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix,

DETAILS Of NEW
CURRENCY BILL
House Leaders
Agree on Vreeland
Substitute
OBJECTIONS ARE OVERCOME
Latest Measure Framed So
as to Eliminate the Un.
popular Features.

Washington, April 29.--Another cur.
rency measure which will have the
support of the Republican membership
in the House has been accepted after
a conference of the House leaders and
may be introduced today. 1t was fran.
ed by Representative Vreeland of
New York.
The bill eliminates practically the
bond secured circulation as authorlz-
ed by the Aldrich bill and as provid-
led in Representative Vreeland's first
bill. 1t does not mention bonds at all,
government, municipality or country,
in express terms. In different way 1t
authorizes an emergency currency. 1t
provides for the formation of clear.
ing house associations with capitaliza.
tons of five million dollars each as or.
lginally proposed. 1t fixes the amount
|of emergency currency circulation to
be issued at seven hundred and fifty
million dollars to be taxed at the rate
of one per cent the first month of Is.
suance, increasing to two per cent the
second month and upwards until the
tax shall be at the rate of ten per cent
The bill provides that this emergency
currency shall be based upon securit.
les held by banks that have CONNER
cial paper, bonds, etc. A commission tc
devise a permanent plan of banking
and currency is one Of the features OF
the new measure.
