Not Spruce but HemlOck.


A certain grocery man in Burlington
had direful experience with Christmas
trees. He purchased a goodly supply
early in the season so that his regular
customers might all be supplied, and
arranged them in front of his store so
that the passing throng might see. For
some reason, however, unknown to the
merchant, the trees did not sell and this
fact was made the more puzzling when
he discovered that neighboring store
keepers were disposing Of their trees
without trouble and at a good profit.
Woud-be customers came along, stared
at his Christmas trees, shook their heads
and passed along The merchant was
distracted The day preceding Christ
mas he discovered that all his trees were
of hemlock, not spruce, and that he had
been buncoed. The limbs, of course, were
very broad and fiat, making it impos-
sible to hang small gifts on them con.
veniently. The merchant has placed the
trees on his ledger, charged to experience.

Mormons VIII Build Hotel.

Tunius Wells, the Mormon leader, who
with his wife and daughter has been for
several months at the beautiful summer
resort on the border of the town of
Royalton. recently returned to his home
in Salt Lake City. A large number of
the Mormon faith spent the summer
months at Royalton. This organization
recently purchased a farm on Dairy hill,
making an estate of 200 acres now in
the hands of Mormons. 1t is their plan
to erect a large hotel on the newly ac-
quired property.
force of men was employed all
through the summer in beautifyng the
Joseph Smith farm. An artificial pond
was constructed and stocked with fish.
Thousands of shrubs were set out. A
part of the forest in its wild state has
been set apart and given the name of
Sophronai's Glen in honor Of Joseph
Smiths sister.
1t is probable that that part Of Yer
mont will in the near future be the home
of a large colony of Mormons during the
summer.

vermOnt's Copper Product.

Vermonts silver production in 1907
was only $500, and her gold produc-
ton was not worth recording by the
United States Geological survey. In
copper, however, Vermont was trite
better, the output being COG, 102 pounds
for the year But this latter amount
was relatively small, being but 08 per
cent of the total production of the coun-
try. The copper mines along the Con.
necticut valley are not worked now as
they were few decades ago which ac-
counts for the poor nntnut.

From the Baltimore Sun:

time we become angry our vitality

The moral of this French doctors
treatise. of course, Is that we should
never allow ourselves to to become an
cry II we value our health and life.
Anger Is a certain kind Of cerebral
excitement, explains Dr.rde Fleury. The
hypersthentc subject. Is always on its
verge, while the neurasthenic becomes
