The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1909-11-04

en- some weeks ago. A snort time ago
he saw the animal in the other mans
possession and followed him to his
animal house. Being thoroughly sat-
isfied concerning the identity of the
dog, the doctor did not hesitate to
take forcible possession of the collie,
when favorable opportunity offered
itself. He was arrested and the mat
ter was submitted to the court. The
doctor insisted that the dog was his,
while the other man not only con-
tended that the dog belonged to him,
but asserted that ex-President Roose-
welt knew the dog and could positive
ly identify him as Rex" the son of
Bobby" Now it is up to Col. Roose-
welt to hasten his return, so that this
serious problem may be solved.
1t may be imagined how mex
pressibly shocked the we'll groomed
and %aristocratic congregation of one
of the fashionable churches on Fifth
avenue was, when the pastor began
his Sunday sermon with the words;
Life is just one damn thing after
another" The members gasped and
did not resume breathing until after
their pastor had explained that he
had merely quoted a motto which a
certain business man had hung up
above his desk. The pastor strongly
disapproved not only of the profanity
of the words but also of the cynicism
of the sentiment expressed by the
motto and severely censured the
business man who had placed this
Objectionable legend upon the wall in
his office.
The cottagers of North Long Branch,
among whom there are many histri-
onic stars of prominence, have taken
to the warpath to drive the Salvation
Army out of that seaside resort. The
Salvation Army has a branch in
North Long Branch, including sever
al cottages. Every summer a number
of women and children from the
slums of New York are taken to the
place by the Salvation Army and CIV
en- a short vacation. AS the complain
ing %cottagers assert, the officers of
the Salvation Army occupy all the
desirable rooms of their cottages,
while the and children from
the slums are crowded together in
attics, cellars and stables. 1t is also
charged that the officers monopolize
the verandas and yards of the cot
tages and force the slum women and
children to seek recreation upon the
lawns of the neighboring cottages,
which does not add particularly to
the latter's pleasure and peace of
mind. The compliments also say
that their eyes are offended and their
ems of propriety shocked by the
sight of male and female Salvation
Army officers playing croquet upon
their lawns, dressed in their bathing
costumes only. The matter Is to be
heard before Vice Chancellor Garri-
son shortly.
Yogi" William F. Garnett, of many
aliases, the alleged seer" and for
tune teller, who two years ago made
quite a snug, little fortune in this
city by duping silly men and women
| who came to him for advice in love
and money matters, is at last in the
hands of the law. He was arrested
here the other day ON a charge of
swindling. 1t Is stated that Garnett
had two accomplices who are still
fugitives from justice. Garnett, as
unveiler of the future, talked his
foolish clients into buying certain
stock from his accomplices. The
victims handed their good money to
the alleged brokers and that was in
variably the last they ever heard of
the stock deal. They never received a
single share of the mining stock in
which they had invested upon the ad-
vice of Garnett. The latter, as may
be inferred, shared with his accom-
Dlices the profits OF The sWindIe.
