AS we understand the principle of

and oppose duty on hides, and vice

A German Memorial to Napoleon.

1t will come as news to most persons
that there exists in Germany a monu-
ment to Napoleon l. This curiosity is
Alzeny, in the grand duchy of Hesse.
The monument is situated near the
Vorholz hunting lodge. at the summit
of a wooded hill, and the spot is known
as Napoleon's garden. 1t is a dwarfed
pyramid of three. sides, rather more
than three feet in length. Upon it
stands the inscription, in Latin, French
and German, showing that it commem-
crates the marriage Of Napoleon l. to
Marie Louise, grand duchess Of Aus
tria, on April l, 1s10.-London Globe.

The kettledrum, Gabriel Cleather
contended, was perfectly competent to
produce atmosphere as well as rhythm.
Even to tune the instrument three
things were required-a perfect music

years experience. After playing over
a kettledrum melody written eighty
years ago from Meyerbeer's Robert lie

venture to say that outside of the
musical profession not one person in
a hundred of those who listen to an
orchestra in England today knows that
timpani have notes and can give out
melody" No instrument, he added,
had a greater range of power than
the kettledrum, for none could be
played more softly and none had great
err penetrating power.-London Stand

How the Cow Escaped at Gettys-
burq.
(Albertus McCreay in the July
McClure's.)


We had an old COW that had been in
the family for years. and the morning of
the first day of the fight we had put her
in pasture as usual. This pasture was
near the edge of town. OF course, we
saw nothing of her during the three days
of fighting. Often one of us would say,
81 wonder what has become of the old
cow" The general opinion was that we
had seen the last of her. On the morn
ing of the fourth day, father, my brother
and | took walk over the field to see
if we could find any trace of her. We
saw many terrible sights. Dead soldiers
were lying around thick, dead horses
and many COW skins and heads; from
this last we soon came to the conclusion
that our COW had been killed for food
like the rest, so we gave her up, AS we
were eating supper one evening week
or more after the battle, we heard
familiar believing in the street Every
body sprang from the table and rushed
out. There stood our dear old COW,
looking as happy as it is possible for
COW to look at being home again. We
petted and Rugged her in our pleasure at
finding her alive, and soon had her in
the stable in her own familiar stall.
Then we discovered that she had bull
let-hole in her neck and one in her side.
She was not severely hurt, however, and
both bullets came out eventually. We
found out later that all the cows in that
particular field had got out in some way
the first day of the fight and had wan
dered off about ten miles from town,
beyond the firing line. After the battle
they all found their way back to town.

STAGEC0ACH ROBBERS.
How the Express Companies Dealt
With Old Time Hiqhwavmen.


With Old Time Hiehwaymen.
1t was the treasure box of the Wells
Fargo company which transported
practically all the gold and silver from
the mining camps that was the special
object of the old time stagecoach high
wayman. A shrewd band of robbers
would not hold up n stage unless they
had good reason to think it carried
large shipment of gold and they used
every means to find out when these
shipments would be made. The COM
pany, on the other hand tried to de-
ceive and trap them, and there was
war of wits as well as weapons. A ia
vorite method of the company when
their stages had been repeatedly rob-
bed by some band whose success
showed they had inside information as
to the time of shipment was to let
rumor leak out that on certain day a
large amount Of gold dust would be
secretly sent out by special stage.
This, of course, would reach the ears
of some of the band and robbery be
duly organized A spy would see a
number of heavy boxes placed aboard
and report all well. When the high
waymen halted the stage the driver
and guard would meekly give up and
crawl to the ground. Then just when
the bands had grown careless from
easy success there poured from the
loopholed coach deadly fire that at
such short range wiped out the entire
gang at the first volley, for the coach
was a decoy, filed not with gold. but
with men expert with the rifle. In
1866 three bands were thus blown to
perdition on the old stage line between
Virginia City, New, and Sacramento

THE STORE BUYER.
His Task of Selecting Good Sellers
Is a Hard One.


Is a Hard One.
Whoever has had difficulty in decid-
ing which Of two or more articles on
a counter he will purchase may be
able to appreciate the task which con-
fronts the buyer of a stock Of mer-
chandise, says a writer in Golfers.
The numbers of varieties offered for
selection are almost beyond belief. In
the toy department Of a large whole
sale house the following figures were
obtained in regard to the goods actual
ly being shown at one time in the sam
pie rooms:
Magic lanterns, $50 varieties; boats,
300 varieties; horns. 1000 varieties;
Christmas tree ornaments, 1000 vari-
cites; dolls, 1900 varieties
In gathering this assortment Of
Christmas tree ornaments 1t was nee
essary to deal with $50 manufactur-
ers throughout Europe, and the selec-
ton of 1000 samples represents only
fraction of the samples submitted
by manufacturers.
When it is considered that almost
every person uses dishes at three meals
a day and that the prices of plates
may range from a few cents each to
$1,000 or more set, it is not surpris-
ing to learn that the same wholesaler
would display in his sample rooms
over 100000 varieties of articles in
china.
The buyer has within such ranges of
variety opportunity to make or break"
the patronage OF store by the wis
dom he uses in making his selections.

With the government planning to tax
the earnings of corporations and many Of
the states, including Vermont, getting a
large share of their revenue from the
same source, the corporation form of do
ing business may decrease in popularity
and the old fashioned business partner
ship come again into vogue. OF late
years it has been popular to incorporate
anything from cemetery to railroad
and as a result there are thousands of
weak insignificant little corporations that

Ten days after his act, francesca Gam
melaro was convicted of murder in the
second degree and sentenced to life inn
prlsonment in the state prison from the
Windsor county court. While perhaps
not establishing a record. this case has
certainly been conducted with very
great dispatch throughout and it has Of
fered no opportunity for the usual COM
plant about the snail's pace of justice
in Vermont courts. The conditions We're
favorable for speedy trial in the case
since the court was in session at the
time of the murder and all that was
necessary, under the legal procedure, to
bring the accused to trial was special
sitting of the county grand jnry for the
purpose of bringing an indictment. That
special sitting was called and the indict-
ment was forthcoming at once with the
trial as the next step. The dispatch
with which the case was then conducted
was all that could be desired, while at
the same time the accused was given a
fair trial.-Barre Times.
