was more aggressive and started to

BLACK PLAYS WITH BLACKSMITH
The black man gave an exhibition of
boxing and clean hitting that fairly
opened the eyes of every spectator. No
cat ever played more skillfully or more
successfully with tiny mouse than
did he with Kaufman. He never lost
his famous golden smile, which Jack
London presented him with on the day
he won the heavy weight championship
from Tommy Burns. Apparently he
never breathed heavily. The most
strenuous work he had to do was to
pick out some spot on Kaufman's body
and then land either his right or his
left. There was never anything like
a return from the blacksmith.
Johnson's best blow was his right
uppercut, and he invariably shot this
one in when they were close up.
Though this punch landed with sting
ing effect time after time and round
after round, Kaufman was never equal
to the emergency of. blocking. The
black man had a knack Of pinning AL
down with his left hand and then
bringing his right up. These jolly
blows rocked the Californian and
robbed him of much of his lighting
spirit
READY WITH EXCUSES
Both men were ready as pugilists
always are. with their excuses. John
son that that kaufman was the tough
est man he had ever met and that no
man who ever lived could stow him
away in 10 rounds. Kaufman glibly
told everybody that he could not prop
crly warm UP for a 10 round mixup
with such clever big man as Johnson,
but that, give him AS rounds, and he
would knock Johnson out beyond the
question of a doubt. 1t seems as
though they are already looking for a
return match
Though kaufman managed to weather

His looks may have belied his feel

How to BaniSh Ddndruff.

A young man who was much
troubled by dandrutf tried many
remedies before he was advised by
an old doctor to use a cure much
favored by physicians of several
generations ago-a paste made OF
vaseline and precipltated sulphur.
The ointment is made by blending a
dram of the sulphur with two table
spoonfuls of vasellne. Divide the
hair into strands and rub well into
the roots, not getting into the long
hair. The eminent should be left
on several days and repeated when
necessary. This treatment is equally
good for a scalp that has grown
dry or filled with an ugly, scaly
scurf.

1t seems to have gotten into the

that because the holiday set aside. for
concentrating the Bennington bat
tie is of little consequence the battle
itself is not worth concentrating

the town of Bennington itself is not
doing all that il should to commem-

people of this community are thor
ougnly well yersed in the Importance
of the battle of Bennington in its
bearing upon the history of the nation

swlftness and Certainty.

Our criminal administration here
in Vermont is ages behind the times.
How the law in regard to criminals
snould be enforced is pointedly stat
ed, in the report of the committee on
the subject presented at the recent
session of the American Prison assoc
iation.
Nothing in the administration of
criminal law is so impressive as
swiftness and certainty Consequent
ly nothing so discredits it in the mind
of the public as lame and hating pro-
cedure in the trial courts and disa-
greement of juries and delays and re-
versals for apparently technical rea-
sons on appeal. Such things weaken
public confidence in the administra-
tion of the law, discourage sheriffs,
police and prosecuting officers and en-
courage criminals and increase
crime"
Here in Vermont we keep a MUIR
derer in the insane asylum for six
or more before trial If by
any chance he is convicted and con-
demned to death the sentence cannot
be carried out for two years, in order
that the condemned man may have
an appeal to the state Legislature
which has no more ompetency in
such a case than a town meeting.

they become suffocated and fall to the
