1Vx looking men. They dress we'll
live we'll, and spend money lavishly upon
each other and in the entertainment of friends from
home.
But there is one member of the House who is
spcuous because of his parsimony. He dresses
meanly, never spends penny colleague
friend, seldom street cars and hires cab
automobile His wife dresses inconspicuously,
and his daughters seldom in public because
of the cheapness of their attire. Not of them at
tends any of the public functions at the White House,
any of the official receptions at the residences of
members of the Cabinet.
These are only few of the manifestations of the
spirit of reprehensible fugality that have resulted
in designating this Representative as The Shabby
Statesman" Some of the women in official society

they might be invited but for the known fact that
they cannot accept. They cannot return any favors

He does not use chewing smoking tobacco, nor
does he indulge in liquor of any kind His shoes

speck of dirt on his well brushed shoddy clothing.
He has never missed committee meeting and
has never been either absent late at any of the
sessions of the House during the twelve years that
he has been continuously member OF Congress.
He is ready in debate but always courteous and
polished. He is we'll posted on all current affairs and
ready for any discussion that may be precipi-

five thousand dollars year, and his wife drew
twelve hundred dollars his private secretary.
That made total of six thousand two hundred
dollars year for ten years. grand total of sixty
two thousand dollars. Then, during the last two
years his salary has been thousand five hun

total of eighteen thousand dollars for two years.
This, added to the sixty-two thousand makes eighty
thousand dollars that he has drawn during his
twelve years of service.
One afternoon recently old Shah was under
discussion along these lines in the presence of one
of the officials of high degree who listened ntently
and finally said
In quiet way l wish that all you fellows would
pass around the word that this man has been much

that the number of deaths per year has
decreased Al per cent in the last 30
years. Though nine persons die ev-
cry week in Vermont of tuberculosis it
is some comfort to know that Orleans
county is one to show the greatest gain
toward stamping out the disease. The
work of this commission is primarily
to prevent the spread of tuberculosis,
not to try to cure cases already estab-
lished. but if a few simple rules OF
right living are observed and plenty OF
fresh air exercise and outdoor sleeping
is INDUCED in, it is the opinion OF
those in charge of this exhibit that
many cases already established may
be cured. Barre is the next place to
be visited by the exhibit.

Baseball.

There is to be a meeting at the New
port house parlors Friday evening of
this week for the consideration of
baseball prospects for the season of
1909. The present popularity OF the
game in this immediate vicinity sug-
gests the idea that Newport should do
something, as the metropolis Of the
county. to keep up with neighborlng
towns. The prospect of players for a
team here seems especially good, as
several college players have evinced
a desire to come here for the summer.
though in this connection we hardly
see how this can help to any great ex-
tent, as real baseball timber from col
lege mines is not for sale, being barred
from professional playing. still some
players who would no doubt greatly
assist local talent may be secured from
this source. Be that as it may. we
have plenty of good material for a
team right here and if it can be got
together and regular practice estab-
lished, there should be no reason why
we could not hold our own with other
towns and furnish a lot of clean
amusement for our own people. We
understand that the management of
the Memphremagog Driving Park will
put their grounds iii shape for baseball
uses. This will give a fine diamond
and furnish opportunity for all to see
the games. Financial support is nec-
essary and if this can be secured base
ball for the coming season is assured.
Attend the meeting Friday night if
YOU are at all Interested.
