The Tenor's Compliment.

You could tell from his hair that he
was musician, or something of the
sort. YES" he said to the company
at large, "the greatest tenor in the
land once paid me the biggest compli-
ment l could wish" "Oh?' remarked
some one, interrogatiyely. 1T was
like this: I sang without accompani-
ment-I always have trouble with
accompanies; they're so unsympathet-
ic, you know-and at the end of the
song he said to me: DO you know,

Burlington, Jan. "A remarkable

of the fingers. In nine days the hrse

man was brought to the hospital. He
was received in the evening and anti
toxin was Immediately administered.
On Dec. 10, the attending surgeon
amputated the three fingers above the
disease so as to eliminate any Of the
tetanus germs which might be in the
lacerated wound. From 10 o'clock D.

chittenden Reservoir, Largest in Yer
mont to Be Increased Two-fold

Rutland. Jan. 1.-The Rutland Rail-
way Light and Power company has an
nounced its intention to enlarge the
dam in Chittenden used as reserve
for its power plant at East Pittsford
six miles east of this city. This res
eryoir is already the largest owned
by any power company in northern
New England, being a mile and half
long and half mile wide. An engin-
Ger from New York has looked over
the property and as a result of his re-
port the company has decided by this
method to increase the capacity OF the
reservoir two-fold.
During the recent drought the wat.
er in the pond became dangerously
low and while there is little chance OF
so serious a dry spell for many years

FEW WORDS, BUT TO THE POINT.
Elder Evidently Meant There Should
Be No Misunderstanding.

Last summer the congregation OF
little kirk in the Highlands of Scotland
was greatly disturbed and mystifled by
the appearance in its midst of an Eng
lish lady who made use of an ear trum.
pet during the sermon-such an In
strument being entirely unknown in
those simple parts.
There was much discussion of the
matter, and 1t was finally decided that
one Of the elders-who had great To-
cal reputation as man OF parts
should be deputed to settle the ques-
ton.
On the next Sabbath the uncon'
scious offender again made her ap-
pearanoe and again produced the trum
pet, whereupon the chosen elder rose
from his seat and marched down the
aisle to where the old lady sat, and
entreating her with an appraised finger
said, sternly:
