WEST WOODSTOCK.

Charles w. Smith states that he
has owned first and,last go differ
ent horses-a record that probably
can'tbe beaten in the town, county
or state. This figure he gave out
asst Saturday and no one knows how
many he may have bought and sold
since then. AS a rig pulled up at
Potwin's store w. e. Vaughan
asked Mr.. Smith just how long
since he owned those horses.
"Never owned 'em," he replied.
Mr.. Vaughan added in a surprised
tone that it was the first pair ever
halted there that Mr.. Smith hadn't
owned sometime or other, or one OF
them at lea st. Mr.. Vaughan's mis-
take was quite natural, and it only
goes to show the popular estimation
OF the extent oiMr. Smiths holdings
in horsehes h, and thus was hand
some compliment.

"MaX," the most notorious bank
robher Of the age, was released from
he New Hampshire state prison in
Concord on Easter Sunday. He is
alleged to have stolen over $780,
600, which he squandered or lost
He was born in Germany, but when
70 came to New York with his
father, an honest machinist. Shin
born was mechanical genius and
early in his career became an expert
safe breaker. AT one time he lived
in luxury in Belgium on an estate
which he bought from a nobleman
and he was known as count. He
has claimed during his last impris-

but Henry E. Moebus. He is now
70 years old.

Just what does the Vermont branch
of the Democratic league mean in its
reference to assistant Republicans?
The Democrats Of Vermont, we be-
lieve, will support the candidate of
the national convention unitedly, be
he Johnson, Bryan or Gray, and the
Democratic league is not helping
along the campaign in intimating
that the present supporters OF any
other man are enemies of their own
candidate and of the party. They
are not. johnson and Bryan both
have their friends in Vermont, and
too much insistence on an instructed
delegation for the Denver convention
will only make discord where there
is much assurance of harmony now.

AN APPEAL FOR BRYAN.

The Vermont branch OF the Dem
ocratic Progressive League of New
England issues the following state
ment to the democratic voters Of
Vermont, through its president, G.
Herbert Pape, of Barre:
The Vermont Branch Of the Dem
ocratic Progressive League of New
England, believing that William j.
Bryan of Nebraska, is the strongest
and most logical candidate for the
democratic party to nominate for
president of the United States,
hereby calls upon all the democrats
Of Vermont who favor Mr., Bryan's
nomination, to cooperate with them
to accomplish that result,
BY his high personal character,
his patriotism, his great ability,
which has been recognized both at
home and abroad, his able advocacy
OF the great democratic principle of
"equal rights for all and special
privileges tor none," we haye in Mr..
Bryan the ideal democratic candi =
date.
AS a vote -getter, Mr.. Bryan isnot
the failure that his political oppo-
nents in and out of his party are
trying to picture him.
The whole situation is well summed
up in a recent editorial in the New
Haven (Conn.) Union when it says
that Mr.. Bryan is one million votes
stronger before the people than any
other democrat, that if nominated he
will be elected, and that his political
enemies who wish to destroy him,
and are now restoring to all means,
fair and unfair, to control one-third
Of the delegates to the national con-
vention, believe with JUS that if he
receives the nomination he will be
elected, and the last glimmering
hope left to the assistant republicans
is to attempt to embarrass the
majority by hanging on to the two
thirds rule, not with the hope OF
accomplishing anything except to
divide and disrupt the democratic
forces and keep the democratic party
from going TO power
We believe that Mr.. Bryan is the
choice of large majority of the
democrats of Vermont as their can
didate for president. With the
method of nominating candidates
now in use, the only opportunity the
voter has to express his choice is tc
attend his local caucus for the cleo
ton of delegates to state and distric
conventions, and there register hi
choice, by sending to these conven
tons delegates who are favorable tc
the candidate he desires to see NOM
mated.
We would therefore urge all demo
Gratis Of Vermont favorable to Mr.
Bryan's nomination, to attend thei
town or city caucuses, and give thei
support to delegates who will worl
in the state and district convention
for Mr.. Btyan's interests.

The Democratic Opportunity

The time is ripe for the wisest
men of the Democratic party to put
their heads and their hearts together
and lay down a policy based upon
permanent principles Of economic
truth and plain justice, and, having
chosen a leader Who believes in
those essential Democratic princi.
plies, to maintain the principles and
elect such chosen leader President of
he United States. The idea that
the Omaha platform, or any other
platform already laid down, is bound
TO be adopted, and that Mr.. Bryan
or any other man is bound to be
nominated, is inconsistent with the
very idea Of free conference. The
primary element of success is con-
sentative platform embodying the
essential principles of the Democrat
ic party, as they have been since the
party was founded, without novel
ties, and then to choose the best
man to put upon that platform-one
who believes in the platform and
will pledge himself to support its
principles. The candidate is inn
material when compared with prin-
ciples and their success.
The Democrats have not, since
1876, had such an opportunity for
successful revolt against the Repub-
lican party as they now have. If
they fail to avail themselves of it at
at this favorable crisis, they WILDE
Justly ielegated to an obscurity
where they can only weep and
gnaSh their teeth. - Richmond

WIDOWS PENSIONS
No Application is Necessary to Sc
cure the Increase

Woodstock, VT, April 20, 1908
Editor of the Age:
1 want through your paper to
answer many inquiries in regard to
the act of April 10, 1908, a law to
increase widows pensions. No APP
plication is necessary; they will draw
$l2 month at the next drawing,
and all widows hereafter placed on
the pension rolls will draw $l2 per
month.
Widows who have been barred on
account of property qualifications
may now be placed on the pension
rolls by making application, as all
widows will have to who are not on
on the pension rolls.

Cigarette Problem Hard One to
Solve.

The Brattleboro school authorities
are at a loss to know how to deal
with the cigarette problem. Some
time ago the practice of smoking
cigarettes became noticeably preva-
lent among the school boys, particu-
larly in the grades, and the school
officials brought the fact to the atten-
ton of the parents of the children,
expecting that thereby the practice
would be greatly lessened. The
notice apparently had no effect, and
today the practice is as common as
ever. only the boys are little more
careful not to smoke on the main
thoroughfares.

AN ODE TO A MINT JuLEP.

(By Col Ion S, Nall. Louisville, Ky)
1 strobe across the meadow,
Ger grasses bruised and bent;
But none of them was cOnscient
Except the fragrant mint,
This lowly little grasslet
With fragrance fills the air,
SO everyone in passing
May know that il is there.
| gathered up a handful
OF freshest sprigs about
And took them to the shade tree
Meath which the spring runs out;
Where pounded ice was ready
And sugar white as snow
And spirits from sitting
OF twenty years ago
Twas then a Jolly jingle,
The ice against the glass
Twas then merry mingle,
The Bourbon with the grass
A jingle, jingle jingle,
And jange of the straw
As down towards the bottom
My sips began to draw.
A mingle, mingle, mingle,
And mangle of the mint
So each replenished goblet
Was stronger of its scent!
Until sank in slumber
Beneath the old elm tree,
And fancied all the ocean
A julep made for me

FOUR MINISTER'S IN ONE
WEDDING.

The Boston Journal Of Tuesday,
April %, says
The story of rather unique we'd
ding ceremony in which two minis
ters married two ministers has
drifted into public notice with the
announcement Of the marriage of the
Rev. Henry Reigel of ll5 Appleton
street, Boston, to the woman minis
ter of Haverhill, Miss Gertrude Ros-
coe.
The ceremony took place at the
home of the brides brother in Med
ford and the two officiating ministers
we're necessary because, while Miss
Roscoe wanted to be married by her
father, that was impossible, as he
hailed from New Hampshire, and it
is not legal for a minister from
another state to marry a couple in
Massachusetts,. Therefore the Rev.
Clarence l.. Eaton, of the Universal
list church, performed the legal part
Of the ceremony and the brides
father the rest
Mrs. Reigel has resigned. Even
before she decided to be married she
had found that the duties of heI
rather unique position were weigh
ING upon her mind. When on the
way to Medford to arrange for her
wedding she had the unusual expe-
rience for a bride-to-be of being
called back to attend a girl who was
dying Of consumption Just before
her wedding she oficiated at the
girls funeral.
Miss Roscoe was one of two women
ministers in the state. The other is
Mrs Colloch, who acts as Univer.
salist minister in Brookline, while
her husband has a Unitarian pas
torate.
Mrs. Reigel was formerly pastor o
the Universalist church in Felch
