AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
 WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate Agents" Go After Men with Land for Sale and
 Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating farmers from their money has been worked with much success in South Dakota. An oily grafter calls on farmer and makes a bid for his land. The figures are absurdly low at first, but by degrees are raised as high as s60 an acre, and the farmer consents. Then the visitor explains that he is only an agent, but that he can sell the land at the price named if the owner VIII agree to pay for advertising at the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
 agent promises orally that the ad- vertising money will not be payable until the land is sold, but this stipula- tion is not contained in a contract that the farmer signs.
 In few days he receives a CODY op an ad and not over-courteous demand for money. It is said that twenty. two agriculturists were caught with this bait in Brown County and that one of them gave up s320. Others de- clare hotly that they will not pay but they will make a fight in the courts.

vermont,s Sunday Law.

A Sunday law which has been VIC.
lated in Bellows Falls, Brattleboro. and
about every place where there is a drue
store for years, viii remain on the
statute book and the violations will
continue without any effort on the
part Of officials to enforce the law We

Public sentiment in all the larger cen
ters fayors change. Because Of this
sentiment it is absolutely impossible
TO enforce the law The salons of the
legislature. however. hold up their
hands in horror and refuse TO make
any change in the law. The bin per,
mited the sale on Sunday of food, non.
intoxicating drinks, tobacco and cigars
under restrictions of the seleetmen. The
vote in the House was 1856 TO sc against
and change. This paper is strongly OPP
posed to a wide open" Sunday, but it
believes that a Sunday law adopted in
1857 is not in all respects adopted to
present conditions. II is better to sell
soda water and cigars on Sunday with
cut legal restrictions than to sell in
open violation OF the law and under
the very noses Of officials who are
sworn to enforce the law but never
raise : finger in that direction.-Bel-

Three measures covering similar

followed in this state, by extending the
jurisdiction of our railroad commission

If she could talk in public,
Proclaim things in hall
The way she talks in private,
Say. wouldn't men look smalli
Deliver curtain lectures
To voters from the stump,
Then wouldn't man, the marvel,
Look like q shrivelled ehumpf
II she could rise in meeting
And there lay down the law
As when in home contentious
She agitates her jaw,
She'd make in Just a minute
Impotent noisy gents
Look as they sat and listened
Like less than thirty cents.
For there is something doing
In language, less or more,
Quite pointed and emphatic
When mother takes the floor,
And in the family circle
No one attempts TO scof
When she informs each member
Where he or she got off.
So if in public places
To argify she rose
And TO affirm some question
Then woe Be to the "nose"
Provided she was feeling
Quite we'll and in the form
She uses on the homefolks
To quell . family storm.

Medical science ixes an arbitrary lin.
Il Of time before smallpox breaks out in
persons who have been exposed TO the
infection. Not only have the fourteen
days passed since the time when people
in Montpelier were supposed to have
come in contact with a smallpox patient,
but the days have been multiplied until
seven more days have been added to the
fourteen; and there has come no out
break Of the disease. One can be rea-
sonably safe, therefore, in asserting that
Montpelier has been spared the trials
and inconvenience of the infection,
lcastwise from the effects Of the presence
Of this single smallpox patient. To what
we may charge this immunity is uncer-
tain; but no doubt one Of the chief con-
tributing causes was the prompt move
made by the local authorities in fumiga.

vaccination
This, then, having been the result,
there is no reason for further apprehen-
sion from this particular visitation. II
there has been any tendency to slaeken-

outsiders that the disease might be con-
tracted land there undoubtedly was
some ungrounded fear Of this sort--there
is now no reason for its continu-
