Nh Sherwin OF Hyde Park believed 1t to
he tho duty of the people of Vermont
to do what thcy can to stamp out this
disease. If we do not do IT, it will not be
long before all the cattle OF the State
will be diseased.
Mr.. Wheclor of South Burlington quoted

tho test and also told Of good results in

with all the money the State has paid
out in past years we ought by this time
to have evidence OF results that we are
controlling the disease. but in fact we
have stamped out nothing. He said the
state Of New York has decided that II
has not enough money to stamp out tho
disease in that state and that If IL is done
the federal government must do il. II
that is true in New York. 1t is doubly so

SALUTE THE FLAG.

When you see Old Glory going by
as it did yesterday afternoon, shelter
ing under its historic folds the veter-
ans of one of the bloodiest and most
righteous wars in the knowledge of
man, salute it, Take your hat off and
stand uncovered until the colors have
passed you. 1t is the most pleasing
and fitting tribute you, as a private
citizen, can pay the flag of our coun-
try and the men who have fought SO
valiantly under it. Every time you
see the flag it should make you thrill
try written plainly on it. The stripes
denoting the thirteen original colonies
that defied the strength of mighty
England and made this land of ours a
paradise of freedom, the goal of the
oppressed and down-trodden of every
land on earth. the shining example
whose splendid experiment in the
equality Of man and the right of men
to govern themselves has caused many
of the thrones of Europe to fall and
the greatest of them TO tremble and
yield many of their royal prerogatives.
The stars denoting a union of many
states, one and indivisible, made so
by the efforts of the grizzled veterans,
who marched beneath them yesterday,
half a century ago when in the full
ness of their youth they waded
through oceans of blood upon the hell
swept fields of Shiloh. Gettysburg.
Fredericksburg and scores OF others,
that you might enjoy the fruits and
peace of a united nation, untainted by
the curse Of slavery. And the whole.

that ours is & country, by the grace of
Its strong armed men, as free as are

Ing alive its splendid traditions by
gathering beneath its folds the op
pressed and cruelty tortured people OF
the Philippines. and Porto Rico from

INSTRUMENT TO SEE
AROUND THE WORLD
London Inventor Has Peculiar
Piece of Mechanism.

London, May 30.-An instrument
which will enable you to see around
the world has been invented by John
Wellesley Lynn.
According to the inventor, the
lynnscope as he calls his instrument,
is an apparatus with which messages
and images can be sent through the
air without the aid of electricity.
BY using it, a man in London may
converse with his friends in New
York and see what they are doing.
Family gatherings could thus be held
in far distant countries at the same
time.
The invention has already been pat
ented in Great Britain and the patent
is held by the Bishop of Bloemfon-
tein, who advanced the inventor
small sums Of money to develop his
ideas and who is now on his way to
England to attend the Pan-Anglican
Congress.
The bishop met the inventor some
years ago when Mr.. Lynn was strand
ed with a theatrical company in South
Africa.

A QUESTION OF PIE
lsthmian Canal Commission
Finds This One of the
Worst Troubles.
WORKING MEN LIKE 1T.

Washington. d. c. May 3o-The
Isthmian Canal Commission, according
10 reports made public. is having a
serious time with the pie question
The men working on the canal like
pie. They want 1t, too. Whether it is
the climate, the nature of the work.
or the isolation of the construction
camps is a matter for conjecture. Suf-
fee it that those fellows down in Pan
anna want pie, and plenty of it. They
so notified the Commission.
At present there are produced about
600 pies every day. This is supple
mented by about 400 pounds of cake.
The pies are of seven varieties-one
for each day of the week. They bring
ten cents apiece and the cakes are val
ued at ten cents a pound.
To cap the climax. the men are be-
coming particular about the kind OF

THE WOMEN OF THE CIVIL WAR.

Yesterday citizens all over the coun-
try met to do homage to the fallen he
roes of our great civil war and to show
their appreciation and reverence for
those gray-haired veterans of that
Great struggle, who still are with us.
But what of the mothers of fifty years
ago, who willingly sent their sons into
the jaws Of death for the sake Of the
republic, who never saw them again
and knew that they had fallen upon
some bloody battlefield way down in
the Southland, and there gasped out
the breath of life through gaping
wounds gained in the service Of their
country? What of the young wives
and sweethearts who lost their loved
ones in that four years Of hellish war
fare that took as it's toll 100000 lives?
their great sacrifices they might well
be termed the mothers of the republic
and as such should have a place in
the gratitude of our hearts second to
none. Uncomplainingly they have
come down the cycle of the years since
the war of the rebellion bereft of
those most dear to them. Cheerfully
have they gone amongst us all these
years bearing their cross Spartan like
nor giving any evidence of the gnaw-
ing pain in their hearts for those lost
to them so many years ago. They
made their sacrifices for their country
and, therefore, for us, for we as citi-
zens, are the country. They gave up
their dear ones because a principle of
the republic was at stake. Hereafter
when decoration, or memorial day
comes around don't forget these I'M
selfish women who did so much for us
half a century ago and who, living
with us today even, never express nor
have a regret for all they have lost for
their country's sake.
