Lincoln His Double.

Daniel Walford, of New York, who
died last week was noted for his remark.
able resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.
Inc resemblance was so close that Mr..
Waliord was frequently mistaken for
Lincoln when the latter visited New York
10th before and after he was elected to
the presidency
Mr.. Walford, who was bern in
Worcestershire, England, in 1922, was
SIX feet two and one half inches in height
in his stocking feet or half an inch less
than Lincoln. He had the same stooped
shoulders, the same rugged features, the
same melancholy eyes, and the same sad
yet winning smile. Almost Immediately
after arriving in this country in 1853
Mr.. Walford began taking an active in.
terest IN temperance work and during
meeting at the Bowery Mission in 1854,
where he was one OF the speakers, some
one told him his brother" was in the
back of the hall.
Wondering who the "brother" could
be for he had no brother in this country,
Mr.. Walford went to the rear of the
room and was introduced to Lincoln.
who was on visit to New York. and
who had gone to the Bowery with
friends. Both men were struck of the re.
markable likeness each bore to the other,
and a friendship was then formed that
lasted until the presidents death. When
ever they were together it was a puzzle
to those who did not know them init
mately to distinguish them. To put it
IN Lincolns words to Mr. Walford: "You
couldn't look any more like me unless
you were me"
Mr.. Walford was largely instrumental
in the organization of the Working
Women's Protective Union, formed dur.
ing the civil war. Forced by the absence
OF fathers and husbands, the breadwin-
ners, at the front, to go to work and earn
their own living, many women found
themselves robbed of no inconsiderable
portion of their earnings by unscrupu-
lous employers. This was called to Mr..
Waltord's attention, and he began an
agitation which resulted in the organiza-
ton OF the union which has continued
in existence to this day, and with which
Mr.. Waltord retained a prominent con-
nection until his DEATH He was also a
prominent Mason and a Good Templar,
and was intensely interested in the ad.
vancement OF the cause of workingmen
and OF temperance His motto for the
workingman was:
Don't drink, but think"

made mixture curing Rheumatism and
Kidney trouble. Here is the recipe and
directions for taking: Mix by shaking
well in a bottle one-half ounce Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one ounce Compound
kargon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Take as a dose one tea
spoonful after meals and at bedtime.
No change need be made in your usual
diet, but drink plenty of good water.
This mixture has a peculiar tonic effect
upon the kidneys; cleansing the clogged-
up pores of the eliminative tissues, fore
ing the kidneys to sift and strain from
the blood the uric acid and other poison
Gus waste matter, overcoming Rheuma-
tlsm, Bladder and Urinary troubles in a
short while.
A druggist here who has had hundreds
OF calls for these ingredients since the
hrst announcement in the newspapers
last October stated that the people who
once try it Swear by it," especially
those who have Urinary and kidney
trouble and suffer with Rheumatism.
All the druggists in this neighborhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
Which are easily mixed at home. There
is SAID to be no better blood cleansing
agent or system tonic known, and GER
family none more harmless or simple to
use.

FIR. BOiSSOnnault.

In the death of Rev. FIR. Boissonnault
this town has lost more than a good
man and a most efficient priest. St.
Johnsbury has lost a public spirited and
broad-minded citizen, who always stood
for civic righteousness. Though never
taking an active part in local politics,
he executed a powerful influence when.
ever there were any issues before the
public involving any lowering in the
tone of the morality of the community.
He stood as bulwark for good govern
ment, was loyal to American traditions
and institutions and instilled patriotism
into the breasts of the rising generation
on all public occasions. Beloved by
Protestants and Catholics alike, as he
went about his daily work in one of the
largest parishes in the state we could all
join in the words OF the "habitant'-
Il dunno if he need our prayer. but we gccv'
heem jus de sam,
For wen mans dom hees dutvlak dc Cure
do all de tam
Never min all de ting may happen. no
matter he's richie or poor
lie bon Dieu was up in heaven, will look out
for dat man. I'm sure"

President Taft.

The new President had a stormy in
auguration, but only the elements pro-
tested on this occasion and Mr.. Taft
enters the White House with the best
wishes Of all Americans and under most
favorable auspices. 1t is always hard to
Immediately follow a popular official.
but Mr. Taft possesses plenty of common
sense and tact and will be equal to any
emergency. He has surrounded himself
with a strong cabinet he has made
good the party pledge by calling an
extra session OF Congress to revise the
tariff, and his inaugural message was
well received. We confidently expect
that President Taft will make good.

pupils will keenly miss the kindly per-
sonal interest and genial enthusiasm
which have characterized her long term
of service as school director.
Mrs. May has been intimately asso-
ciated with the school interests of St
Johnsbury for many years. As a teacher
in the St. Johnsbury public schools, as
superintendent of our schools from 1888
to 1898 and as member of the Board of
School Directors from 1884 to 1888 and
again during the past nine years, she has
gained a most valuable practical knowl-
edge OF the needs of public school work,
and her active interest in the subject Of
education, generally, has led her to keep
abreast of modern educational thought.
1t is a matter Of deep regret that the
public schools Of our community are to
be deprived Of the continued influence OF
a director in whom were so admirably
combined those rare vet essential qualif-
,atlons which enable one to render

oldest tavern in England. Miss Edith
M. Nichols followed with an interpreted
ton of the works of two of Engiand's

PRESS COMMENT.


The announcement OF Acknowledgement
John q. Sargent that short term prison
ers in jail are to be put to work, will be
welcomed by citizens generally and es-
peclally by taxpayers. There is no good
reason why able bodied men confined in
jail tor different reasons should be kent
IN idleness at the expense of the taxpav-
ers OF the state. 1t is better for the men
themselves, both physically and morally,
that they should be kept busy at some
work. Exercise is recognized as one of
the essentials of good health, and prison
ers in jail are no exception to the rule
The old adage that an idle mind is the
devils workshop, nowhere has better
exenpllilcatlon than, in connection with
the inmates of iails Moreover work in
and OF itself is ennobling, and this natur-
al laws being recognized more and more
the world over.
Another consideration in favor of work
for prisoners in our jaisi is that the adop-
tion OF this policy will be certain to put
a salutary check to the custom on the
part OF professional tourists to seek a
sentence to jail on the charge of being
tramps or some other light ohense in
order that they may secure comfortable
quarters and plenty of food at no cost to
themselves during the long winter
months.
The taxpayers of Vermont have paid
out pretty sum in past decades for the
support in jails OF tramps and other
shIitless classes, and it is time to adopt
means to check this practice, and if no
other argument than that of financial
gain for taxpayers alone were concerned,
other considerations being equal as to
physical health and moral welfare. the
authorities would be justified in adopt
ing the work policy for prisoners in our
ialls.- Burlington Free Press

God had fulfilled that word wonderfully

go by such a substantial citizen as the
late Harvlin Paddock, who always ac-
cepted the days work with a spirit of
cheerfulness and faithfully performed

he is the last of a family who have been
