ACTOR A MAN OF RESOURCE

Got Even with Unkind
Critic.

District Attorney Jerome Of New
York was praising at the Union club
a resourceful lawyer.
Get him in hole" said MI
Jerome. and he Is out OF II the very
next second. He is as resourceful as
an actor ] recently heard about.
This actor, at two or three o'clock
one morning, got in taxicab to drive
home. and when almost there discov-
cred that his money was spent. He
had nothing for cab fare.
"A famous physician lived near by,
and the resourceful actor told the
chauffeur TO stop there. Then he
jumped out, rang the physicians night
bell and screamed up the tube in an
agonized voice:
Doctor, our baby! II has swal-
lowed its rattle! Quick! I've got a
taxicab waiting
"I1l be down at once said the doc
tor.
And he appeared at once, an over.
coat over his pajamas, and a case OF
instruments under his arm.
The actor bundled him into the

Cheering Her Up.

Intelligence in the Kitchen.

The higher the intelligence and the
broader the education OF the woman
in the kitchen, the greater the pleas.
ure and satisfaction in household du-
ties.
The woman who cooks intelligently
is commanding great and mysterious
forces OF nature. She is an alchemist
behind an apron. At her command
food constituents that are indigestible,
unpalatable and even poisonous, are
subjected TO chemical changes that
render them an epicurean delight. The
woman Of real intelligence and powers
OF imagination finds in her we'll or
dered kitchen a source of deep and en-
during interest and pleasure.

AS THEY DO 1T IN ENGLAND
Family Inherited Postmastership,
Though the Department Officials
Didn't Know X.

Forty years before, as quite a boy,
Jones had left little town in Kent
Now, on the first long vacation he
ever had had since, he was visiting
his childhood scenes. He had remem.
bered that the postmasteT's name was
Pengelley, and he had remembered
too, that he was kindly old man
There wasn't the slightest probability
he thought, that the postmaster was
still alive, but his acquaintance with
the former incumbent might smooth
things little with the new one, SO
that the Whereabouts of people to
whom he had been directed would be
made known.
What's become OF Mr. Pengelley?'
he asked, interrupting for q moment
his majesty"s letter assorter.
II am Mr. Pengelley."
Perhaps you're his son"

My word, no! That was my grand
father. You see, our names are all
alike, and the postOfIice department
doesn't know but that the first one is
alive We inherit this job, don't you
know. And my wifes just presented
me with son. There was no baggling
over his name"

GOOD OLD WORLD, AFTER. ALL
Let the Pess.n,ist Read This and Get
Into a Better Frame
Of Mind.

This is a good world. It's growing
better every day. We can't say this
often enough or strong enough, for
it is not only recording a fact but it
is getting behind the chariot Of
progress and giving it push our
selves.
Rich mems sons are not all round
ers" because few SINCE their wings
in the white lights. Most Of them set
about mastering the intricacles OF
dads business so they ease his shout
ders of some of the strain and get in
trim to take it all themselves, some
time. Others, still more independent,
strike out for themselves.
Rich mems daughters are not all
brainless and snobbish and extrava-
CANT. For one that runs away with
a chauffeur there are thousands who
go to college and come out of it noble
women.
And the poor do better, with less to
help them. Most boys put their necks
in the family hearness and help pull
with their fathers. II is the girls,
however who pass them in this serv-
see. If the average girl elects to stay
at homeland the one serious point OF
criticism is that not enough do-she
doesn't have to write abroad for ad
vice to ease her mothers grind. And
If she goes into shop or Office or fac
tory, the mother often gets the sealed
pay envelope at the end of the week
and doles out the spending money to
the girl who earns it. More girls
than the world knows about, or, know.
ing, praises as it should, put aside
their chances for home of their
own TO keep that of their mother Sc
cure.
It's a good world and the over
whelming majority of good girls not
only help TO make II so, but brighten
ID as well

Second Attack On ChdS. Williams.

At Heidelburg, in Lee county,
Charles Williams, foreman of a
construction gang of the l.. & n.
Railroad Company's new line into
the mountains. was waylaid and
robbed Tuesday night of last
week. His unconscious body, his
watch and bloody pistol were
found. He will probably die.
1t is thought robbery is not the
real cause of the deed. He was
shot there several months ago by
enemies.

A Home for SDirits

Andrew Hale, a recluse who re.
Gently committed suicide at Lebanon,
Ore, had a house to which he had
about twenty additions. Each of it's
small rooms was for the abode of the
spi'it of departed friend. The
house was filled with curious things,
gathered together to amuse the spir-
its. A lot of shoe strings, several
clocks, musical instruments and vari-
Gus articles were there. The collec-
ton must have cost Hale more than
$4,000.

Another step was taken by the
Court of Appeals to uphold the
temperance laws of the State when
the Court decided that the firm
that had secured license to sell
liquor lost the license when it was
revoked because of a violation of
the liquor law by a member of the
firm. The case was from Warren
county.

Middlebury, VI.

Editor Middlebury Register,
Middlebury, Vt.
Dear Sir:
TO clear up some misunderstanding we
would like the following printed:
The herd of Geo. H. Wright & Sons of
Weybridge was tested for tuberculosis by
Dr. r. J. Vosburgh in behalf of the State
the nights of Jan. and s. The herd
comprised 80 cows. 10 young heifers and
bull, which was purchased of Temple
Bros. in May.
The bull was brought into the stable
about June on the supposition that he
was free from tuberculosis. Later de-
velopments in December showed Temple
Bros herd to be badly infected, and it
was thought best to have an immediate
test to determine how badly the bull was
infected and if any of the cows had con-
tracted the disease.
The test was made. The bull alone of
the forty head responded. He was i'm
mediately killed and examination showed
he had one gland in his neck that was
| somewhat enlarged and badly diseased
though not "rotten." Three or four
more smaller glands were also found
that We're slightly diseased, but his lungs,
liver, intestines and other organs were
fine. AS he had not reached the advanc-
ed stage of the disease the chance of the
spread was lessened
| Also, as not one of the 80 head born
and reared on the farm showed any re-
Spouse to the test it is thought no more
cases will develop. The barns have been
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and
hereafter no animal will be allowed to
enter the stable without first having sue
cessfully passed a good tuberculin test.
| = 4 I
vocate of Jersey cattle and feels quite
badly to think he should have been so
negligent as to buy bull without re-
ceiving evidence that he was free from
disease. He was thrown off his guard
by the fact that Temple Bros. were large
retailers of milk in Rutland and it was
one of the last places he expected to find
it. (Signed)
GEO. H. WRIGHT & Sons.

The Inn-keepers' Bill.

The eighth class license measure,
known as the inn keepers bill, has pas
sed the Senate, where it originated
Donowav of Middebury.
This measure provides for the issuance
of eighth class licenses for the sale of
liquor to proprietors of hC tells of certain
size, giving to them the right to sell to
guests, though not to residents of the
towns where the hotel is located, and
to adjoining towns. The fee is to be not
less than $40, nor more than 500; SO
that the treasury of the inn keeper will
not be mucted of any princes ransom
by any means.
1t is fair to inquire, if liquor is to be
sold to the stranger within the gates,
why not to those who live in the same
town, all of whom are known to the pro-
prietor? If liquor is to be sold to any
body, why not pass it out to those who
tcan drink or let it alone" according to
the arguments of the pro-license adj
vocates, rather than to parties partly or
wholly unknown to the management,
whose only recommend is their ability
to pay their bills3
Under the working of an eighth-class
measure too great temptation is offered.
Laxitv in defining the meaning of the
term 'guest" is most apt to creep in.
A guest may be guest in the generally
accepted Interpretation of the term, or
he may be the casual caller who is will
ling to sit at table and MUNICH a sand
witch Just enough to "take the cuss Off.
Conditions may grow to resemble the
state of affairs under the Raines law In
New York, where in order to be a guest
it was only necessary to get cracker or
pretzel.
This bill, if made a law, is more than
likely to open up large number of loop
holes, thus making possible many
evasions of the law. The measure is too
much of a compromise to be instrument
al in furthering the work of real temper
ance. And if the lower house runs that
bill through some of the members
thereof are likely to find the mercury
rising in their vicinity when they get
home after the session.
The great majority of the citizens of
the State want temperance measures
that are the real thing-not measures so
full of holes that they would not offer
any obstruction to the wind.

found that his supply of wood for paper

use paper for almost everything but in

intents and purposes the appropriation
would come out of the taxes raised by
the residents of the District of Columbia,
where the play grounds wers to be To-

battle-ships and more play grounds for
children was an end to be desired; which
contention will have the support of a
