The man who quit farming last fall

than a hundred dollar a,month job.
To depend upon day wages at man

how to conduct farm, is the height
of financial folly, and if there is a

again in taking the children to the

The Taft method of getting along
with Congress by means of sort of
jovial diplomacy is now on trial and
the country is awaiting the result
with more than usual interest, for in
those results the country, that is the
consumers, are yitally interested.
President Taft has laid aside the big
stick and appears to be seeking to in
fuence Congress to adopt 10 ger tar
iii rates by means of diplomacy. He
is entertaining the Senate and House
conferees at breakfast, luncheon and
dinner, is taking them out in his auto
and his smiling his blapdest smile
while he points out TO them the dan.
ger to the party if they insist on inn
posing the high duties provided in
the Senate bill. It is easy to imagine
the situation were Mr.. Roosevelt in
the White House. There would be
daily newspaper pronouncements and
threats of veto. Mr.. Taft is moi
talking to the conferees through the
newspapers but is taking them aside
one by one and talking to them di
rect. II is certainly TO be hoped thai
his method will gain for him the ut,
most success. II it does the entire
country will be the gamer.

CARPET SWEEPER TOO NOISY.
Dealer Left with Memory Of Good
Joke TO Compensate Him for
Loss of Sale.

A hardware dealer in town tells
story about prim old lady who came
into his store the other day to pur-
chase a carpet sweeper. She gazed
here and til re about the store as she
entered aid finally going up to the
dealer she looked at him quizzically
over her glasses and asked: DO you
keep carpet sweepers? ?"
YES, madam" replied the dealer,
and naming the two kinds which he
had in stock. asked which she de-
sired
Well" said the lady, you may
show me both kinds, II you will"
Just moment, madam, until get
them from the rear of the store" And
with that he went to an obscure cor
ner and took down the carpet-sweepers
from their hooks upon the wall.
It happened that in front Of one of
the makes which he desired there was
lawn mower so hung that he had to
move it, He took it down from the
hook and as he did so it rolled along
the floor with grinding rattle.
Before he had time to turn around
he heard the old lady shout from the
front of the store: THAT makes more
noise than my old one, and l don't
care to look at it" and so saying, she
whisked out to the door, leaving the
dealer to wonder whether the joke was
worth the loss of the sale.-Portland

FENCE AROUND HOTEL
castleton Man Failed to Get license
and Closed House.

A curious sight that of wire fence
surrounding the only hotel in the vii
lage can be seen at Castleton by per-
sons riding through the town on the
electric cars, says the Rutland Herald
W. H. Webster, proprietor, has caus-
ed to be placed around the Bomoseen
house on the Main street of that place
a four foot wire fence which is TO
show the people who's who," when
they refused TO grant the hotel Ii
cense for the sale of intoxicating LID
uors. The fence does not come on
the street lines but still it shows
plainly that the hotel is not open for
business. Mr.. Webster stated yester-
day that he should not open the hotel
again this year He has moved across
the street into a large house where
he is taking care of transient trade.
The whole trouble started over the
license commissioners refusing TO
grant a license to the men who APP
piled for permission to sell in the ho-
tel. The commissioners, A. II. Lake,
II. NJ. Brown and Michael ODay grant
ed one license in the town of Castle
ton to James c. Brough and one in

apnlicants who signified intentions OF
selling in the Bomoseen house were
turned down. When asked yesterday
if he had any ideas as to why the ho-
tel was turned down, Mr. Webster
said:
Il do not wish to say anything
about it at all. Let the goose rest
where it is. If the townspeople are
satisfied, am. The whole thing from
start to finish was a deal between the
first two commissioners and Horace
b. Ellis. Mr.. Ellis owned the old San
ford house across the way and he got
rid of this through the deal. Mr..
Brough bought the place for $4,000. In
stead OF giving the hotel a license
also they were afraid the men who
applied in the hotel would draw all
the trade. so broke the law by grant
ing a license in Hydeville. One OF
the commissioners is interested in the
Sanford house also. He held a mort
gage on the property which he got rid
of through the deal. | have place
here where ! can accommodate about
so guests and shall keep 1t open us
ing the hotel for roomers If neces-
sary."
n. NJ. Brown, one of the commits
sioners, claimed to be linked in the
deal. stated that he had nothing to
say except that Webster had turned
down his best friends and had him
self to blame for the loss of the IL
cense Mr.. Brown admitted holding
a mortgage on the Sanford house. He
said that the commissioners decided
that as long as it was Webster's mon
ey that would pay for the license and
he would be the man to take the rev.
enue if there was any they decided
not to issue one to him.
The saloon as it now is situated is
not on the street and the barroom is
not visible from the street. A large
number of residents were interviewed
yesterday and almost without excep-
ton they were of the opinion that
some sort Of deal had been pulled

IN MEMORY OF MAJOR WlRZ
Monument at Andersonville Erected
by Daughters of Confederacy

| by daughters OF Contederacy
Savannah. Ga, May l5-The unveil.
ing of the monument to Major Henry
Wirz, c. S. A.. at Andersonville. Ga,
took place Wednesday. The monu-
ment was erected through the efforts
of the Georgia Division, United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy. At one time
the daughters decided to place the
monument at Richmond, but this idea
was abandoned this spring, and it was
decided then to put ii at Andersonville
where Mayor Wirz saw his most ac.
tive duty as commandant of the pris-
| on during the Civil war.
The monument is a tall shaft Of
gray and white, thirty-five feet in
height, in design, slender and sym
metrical, the general design being
that OF a monolith The long shaft
stands on a base formed by four
square slabs of stone, which are SUI
perimposed in the form of a pyramid.
Just above this base the otherwise I'M
broken outline of the shaft is inter
sected by two heavy blocks of stone,
below which, on the four sides of the
monument. are carved the following
inscriptions:
When time shall have softened pas
sion and prejudice, when reason shall
have stripped the mask from misrep-
resentation, then justice holding even
ly her scales will require much of past
censure and praise to change places.

Discharging his duty with such hui

the times and the policy of the foe
permitted. Captain Wirz became at
last the victim of a misdirected popu-
lar clamor. He was arrested in time
of peace while under the protection of
a parole, tried by military commits
sion of a service to which he did not
belong and condemned to ignominous
death on charges of excessive cruelty
TO Federal prisoners. He indignant
ly spurned a pardon proffered on con-
dition that he would incriminate Pres
ident Davis and thus exonerate him
self from charges of which both were
innocent

the stigma attached to it by embitter-

WORK WEAKENS THE
KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
in Benninqton

Most Bennington people work every
day in some strained, unnatural pos
ition-bending constantly over desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious homework; lifting
reaching or pulling, or trying the back
in a hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs. Bennington
cures prove it.

Contractors in Gary Rush
ing Work in Order to Be
Protected Against Winter
Water Tower Nearing
Finish.

With the present fine weather hold
ing out for few more weeks, build
ing work in Gary is being rushed and
at the end of that time will see the
completion Of a large number OF resi-
dences and fiat buildings that are now
under the course of construction.
During the past week the concrete
work on the water tower in jefferson
street has been rushed and a few more
days will see its finish. The contract
ors have the gigantic tower incased
in a solid mass Of reinforced concrete
and have now reached a point about
two feet from the top.
There are many building IN Gary
that with a few weeks more of the
present weather a great amount Of
work could be done, so that the con-
tractors would be able to finish the in
terror work during the winter. The
Englehart and Baker buildings on
Broadway, near Tenth avenue, are pro-
crossing nicely. the walls now being
up to the second story. The Feuer fat
building on Seventh avenue is now in
the hands of the plasterers. as IS the
Juanita building on Broadway belong
ing to John o. Bowers of Hammond.
Contractor Eckert has large force of
men employed on the new Baptist
church and the work is also progress
ing nicely.
There are but few reports of new
buildings in the city of late. The gen
eral indication is that parties contem-
plating erecting residences and fats
are holding off until next spring. II
is not thought that work will be
started on the new commercial club
building. as the architect and the di-
rectors of the club have reached no set
tIement as yet. The new United Pres
byterian church on the east side is also
being held up until matters concern
ing the lots are being Strengthened.
The present season has been one Of
great activity in Gary, but all contract
ors are looking forward to the biggest
year in the history of Gary.
