Campbe1l-Dav Wis.

On Monday morning at half past nine
o'clock at the parsonage of Grace Metho-
dist church Robert Clifford Campbell OF
St. Johnsbury and Miss Gladys Chrystie
Davis of Johnson, N. H., were quietly
married by Rev. ]. M. Frost. The bride
wore her going away gown of London
smoke broadcloth with hat to match.
The only attendants were Mr.. and Mrs.
Reginald Turner, Mrs. Turner being a
sister of the bride. After the wedding
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell drove to St.
Johnsbury Center where they took the
train for Sherbrooke and other Canadian
cities. On their return they will have
rooms at 80 Cliff street. The bride is a
graduate of St. Iohnsbury Academy in
1901 and has since been employed as
stenographer in Worcester Mass. The
groom is employed by E. & T. Fairbanks
& Co., and both have many friends to
extend congratulations.

Basket Ball Possible.

At the last meeting of Company D
Basket Ball association Fred Beck, L. A..
Pratt and F. O. French were appointed
to look into the possibilities of a team
for this year. AS yet no definite action
has been taken by this committee but
they have received a letter from the
Wachter brothers who would like to
conduct team here. IF the Wachters
should land the job it would mean
fast basket ball for st. Johnsbury.
Another letter of interest to local fans
comes from Pat Doyle, which informs
the committee that both he and Henschel
are through with the league and inquir-
ing about the chances here.
1t is hardly probable that St. Johns
bury people are tired of basket ball even
though some of the past methods of man
agement have not been to their liking.
Experience is a good teacher and some of
the Objectionable features OF the past
could be easily remedied. Further news
from the committee will be looked for
with interest

VERMONT MILLERS AROUSED.

Fear Ruling of Inter State Commerce
Commission Will Mean Higher Grain
for Vermont Farmers.
Robert Mackinnon of the firm OF Girls
void & Mackinnon, E. T. Ide of the firm
of E. T. & H. K. Ide, and J. H. Brooks
representing the A. H. Mcleod Milling
Company, were in White River Junction
yesterday to attend meeting OF the
millers of Vermont and elect committee
to visit Hon. c. A. Prouty in Washing
ton, and ask for a modification of a
recent ruling of the inter state commerce
commission regarding the shipping OF
mixed cars by New England millers and
others.
The meeting was held at the Junction
House and the following gentlemen
named to go to Washington:
E. T. Ide, ]. H. Brooks, Robert Mac
kinnon, and A. H. Mcleod of St. Johns
bury, G. c. Bailey of Montpelier, Charles
Crosby of Brattleboro, and R. M. Bur-
dit of Rutland.
Mr.. Ide served as chairman of the
meeting, and ]. H. Brooks, as secretary.
There were between 80 and 40 millers
present.
The purpose of the meeting is of vital
interest to the millers in this state and
throughout the East. In St. .Johnsbury
where an annual volume of milling bust
ness amounting to 100000 or more
and where grain is ground for a large
territory, it has especial Importance.
For years the millers have bought car
load of grain in Chicago and had it
billed to some town where one of their
retail customers lived. For instance, a
st. Johnsbury miller would order a car
of oats and have it billed to Lunenburg
or some other town where they have a
retail customer. By paving a small
switching charge they were allowed to
stop the car at st. Johnsbury, unload it,
and in reloading it putin not simply oats
but any kind of grain the retail customer
desired and send the car to its destina-
ton. In this way the retailer got his
grain without paying the local freight
rates from the miliers town to his
station, which was great saving to the
retailer and his customers.
The inter state commerce commission
holds that if a miller receives a car load
of oats under these conditions he must
reload the car with oats or their
products, or else pay the local freight
rates from his mill to his customer. This
will mean that either the Vermont mil
lers must go out of business or the con-
sumers of grain, in the towns so small
that the dealers cannot afford to buy
eachkind of grain in carload lots, must
pay more for theirgrain. 1t is in the
hope that they can demonstrate to the
commission the hardship the ruling will
have on the grain consumers of the
East that the Vermont millers are taking
this action.

At the Fairbanks Museum.

Walter P. Carr of the U. S. biological

has remembered the Museum with many
specimens of rare insects and plants
Among these is small but choice collec-
ton of the different grades of cotton il
Illustrating the efforts being made by
growers to improve the quality of the
fibre. This is placed in the table cases
at the east side of the building. Several
unusual spiders which he has sent may
be found with the insect collection on the
west side. r.
An interesting addition to the collec-
lection of badges is one from the repuoli-
can national convention of 1900 loaned
by A. H. Gleason. A. F. Stone has given
the Museum the three Tercentenarv
badges used by him as member of the
Tercentenary commission. He has
also given the invitation to the Hudson
Fulton celebration received by him as a
member of the Tercenternary commits
sion. 1t bears the autographs of Gov.
Hughes and Joseph Choate.

by fine sampler loaned by Miss Mar
jorie Turner.

BRYAN ON PROHIBITION.
Announces Determination to Fight
 Liquor Interests.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Bryan now announces his intention to make war on the liquor interests in order to keep the democratic party from being controlled by them. This sudden change of attitude, novel for northern democrat, has not greatly surprised the American people. Reading the signs of the times, MT. Bryan recognizes the fact that the great leaders of his party, who have followed him thrice to defeat, are not eager to place their standard in his hand again. MT. Bryan being nothing if not resourceful, his stand for virtual prohibition can have but one meaning. He realizes the absurdity of announcing that he will take nomination from the democratic party for the fourth time and lead 1t once more to disaster. But as he feels that he must have another try for the presidency, he is casting about to get the nomination from the rapidly growing prohibition party. Those who may doubt that MT. Bryan is will ing to tie up with the prohibitionists should remember that it is not hope of the presidency that attracts him and keeps him active in political affairs so much as the profitable publicity which he enjoys from posing as a candidate. It was his remarkable gift of gaining publicity which lifted MT. Bryan from poverty and obscurity into national promi- hence and made him one of the wealth. lest men in his state. His capacity TOT securing free advertising drives the ablest press agent to despair. By means of 1t. MT. Bryan is enabled to derive from his speeches, his lectures, and his con- tributions for the press an income Of about $100,O00 per year-much more than the salary of the President of the United States.

 There Is real estate man who has fallen into the habit of batting with his hand every lamp post he passes in the street. Should he pass a post without patting 1t, habit compels him to return t6 1t. The habit dstresses him. He would pay almost any amount for cure.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 .The proposition said the busy St. Iouis man, lis simply this," and, jab went the blade of his penknife into the polished surface of his desk
 By and by he drew from pocket new pencil and began to cut a groove around 1t. He cut the groove deeper and deeper, until he had the pencil cut in two. He regarded the two parts absentminded- ly, and went on talking. began scratching aimless hieroglyphtcs on the blotter on the desk. By the time the business in hand was done he had brand-new blotter spoiled.
 In the course of a 16-minute business talk he had ruined a 5-cent pencil and a 6-cent blotter and marred $2O0 desk. Also he had whirled in his swivel chair with a monotonous regularity at the rate of 30 times a minute or JOO times Tn the course of tho interview.
 Estimating the leg power necessary to maintain this perfectly useless locomotion at five pounds per shove, he had wasted 15O0 pounds of energy.
 Did you ever stop to think of the many ways in which you express your nervous ness?
 The business man referred to is of Yankee origin That's why he whittled the lead pencil. just as his great grand father whittled a silver from the cracker box in the general store in the early part of the nineteenth century.
 Tricks of nervousness in time become fixed habits. A hustling real estate broker has trick of pulling his left eye brow. The harder he thinks the harder he pulls the eyebrow.
 A banker cannot think while sitting. His office is small and exactly five meas ured strides carry him from the door to the window; he turns always on the same foot. and takes the same number of strides
