A recommended cure is the grape cure.

times each day, and hardly any limit

Story ny vermont Author.

The Brattleboro Reformer says:
How many readers of the story.
THE Treasure of Rubies," APP
pearing in the November number of
the Blue Book are aware that
the author is Vermont man? He has
not only located his story principally
in Vermont town-Panton-but he
has even drawn upon one of his neigh
bors back in his native town for a
name for one of his characters. The
description of the character fits the
grave, dignified woman that can re-
member the author from his child
hood up through his college days to
his breaking into the literary world
in the great metropolis. Marvin Dana
may prefer the whirl of Broadway to
the boisteriousness of the New Haven
river, but he will never permit him

within hailing distance, so to speak,
of that home where he was born"

Tramp Confessed He Set Fire.

Because he admitted an offense of
which no one but himself knew that
he was guilty, james Marley, a
tramp, who said that his last per-
manent abiding place was in North
Adams, Mass, must serve a sentence
in the State Prison at Windsor. Var
ley is the tramp who appeared at
the House of Correction in Rutland
last week and said that he was res
ponsible for the burning of a barn
in Arlington and wanted to give him
self up. Tuesday afternoon Marley
was brought here from Rutland by
Sheriff Fred Godfrey on a warrant
issued by States Attorney w. j.
Meagher and arraigned in the mum
icipal court. He pleaded guilty to
the charge of burning the barn and
was held for county court. He has re-
quested, however, that the States
Attorney file an information against
him so that he can take his sentence
at once.
There is a special statute govern
ing offenses of tramps which pro-
vides sentence of not less than six
months or more than two years al
hard labor in the cases of vagarants
who enter buildings without the con
sent of the owners or build fires il
sheds or barns.

through Varley's carelessness was 10

and contained ten tons of hay ant

Varley stated that he had gone int,
the barn on the night of Novembe

from his pipe. He was awakened b.
the flames, he said, and had to hurr.
to get out alive. The barn was 10
Gated at some distance from othe
buildings on the farm and the origil
of the fire was complete myster

all designs submitted for temple ex-
cept that drawn by II. K White, OF
the firm of Wilder e. White, Fifth ave-
nue., New York. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Whites design will be accepted,
subject to some changes suggested
by the directors. The design sub
mitted by Mr.. White shows four
story building of an Italian style of
architecture, the front being of grey
brick with marble or limestone trim
mings. Plans are made for a bowling
alley, billiard room, card room and
big dining hall in the basement;
suites for professional men on the
first two floors. The quarters for the
Masonic bodies, with spacious lodge
room, council room, Eastern room,
property rooms, etc, and janitor's
apartments would be on the third floor,
while the upper part of the lodge
room with its gallery, and aromery
and property rooms would occupy the
upper floor. The ways and means
committee will enter at once upon an
active campaign for raising funds, AZ
the present time some $1,000 has been
pledged in addition to $4,000 donated
from the treasures of the Masonic
bodies. The DR.. O'Conner property
on Main street, between the Free
Library and the First Baptist Church
was bought as site several months
ago.
