affairs of the community moved along
without a ripple or jar of discord for
full 80 years, with only a mild sort of
vigilance committee to guard the COM
mon peace.
At last a spirit of unrest and disor-
ganiZation began to be manifest and a
need Of a stronger government be-
came evident, and in the spring of
1929 an independent state, called 1.-THE
United Inhabitance of the Indian
Stream Territory" was set up abso-
lutely sui generis in it's character and
probably territorially the smallest
ever established and the most abso-
lutely democratic.
One of the school houses was used
for the inauguration of it's Assembly"
The people at once declared them
selves Independent of the United
States and of Great Britain.
The government was representative,
executive and judicial and embraced
the whole voting population, each vot-
er representing himself and his own
interests. The executive department
was supreme council of five mem
bers elected annually. The judiciary
consisted of justices of the peace,
elected by the people. The supreme
council was the court Of last appeal.
Trials were by jury of six persons.
and company of militia of 40 men,
raised to protect from domestic VIC.
lence and foreign invasion.
For five years that was an all-suffi-
cient government for that people.
But as there was no power to en-.
force it's laws and court decisions and
it's punishments could be only fines
and Punishment, it then began to
show it's insufficiency.
In 1885 treason crept in and the
government ended.
The people then divided into two
parties. One asked protection of New
Hampshire, the other of Canada New
Hampshire assumed jurisdiction at
once and sent officers of her courts to
serve processes. The Canada party
resisted and a clash of arms took
place in which the Canadians were
defeated.
New Hampshire maintained an un-
disputed jurisdiction till 1910, when
the territory that for 40 years had
been known as the Indian Stream ter.
ritory became the town of Pittsburg,
N. HI.
A few of the Canadian party then
moved over into Canada, but the most
of them remained, and so became.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

CHILD ATE CUTICURA
OINTMENT.
Spread Whole Box of 1t on Crackers
Mot the Least Injury Resulted.
Cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
my three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on trip across
tie Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located box Of graham
crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. When a search was made for
the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on
the crackers. 1t cured him of bad
cold aud I don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of Gu
ticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. If it may be
safely eaten by young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend it's application to even
the tenderest skin or youngest infant.

DR.. Bertillon, the eminent French vi
tai statistician, has shown that tuber-
culosis is twice as prevalent among
the retail liquor dealers of France as
among other shopkeepers. He at
tributes it to the fact that the alcohol
which they handle and use all day
long weakens their bodies and thus
renders them more susceptible to the
disease germ.

Newspaper Bouquets.

The recent effusive mention of GER
tain improbable candidates for political
preferment in Vermont recalls a bit of
conversation which took place at Rut-
land a while ago, between half dozen
representatives of the state press, on
the uselessness, the absurdity, of pick
ing up hit erto unthought-of individuals
here and there throughout the state,
mentioning" them as possible or de-
sirable nominees for this or that public
office without the slightest regard for
qualifications or the lack of them), and
throwing newspaper bouquets in such
quantity and with such frequency as to
convince the favored individual that he
was really in the swim and ought to
strike out boldly for political land
ing.
It is interesting TO note that the par
ti@pants in the conversation referred
to were of one mind concerning the
undesirability of that sort Of thing, and
are not found indulging in it. Not that
they are lacking in goodnatured regard
for their fellows, or that they are blind

HOW POST OFFICE WILL LOOK.
Some Figures and Facts Taken from the
Plans and Specifications.

The plans and specifications for the
new government building in Barre hav-
ing arrived, it is now possible to deter
mine to certain extent how the build
ing will look on the site at the corner
Of South Main and Prospect streets. In
the first place, let 1t be stated that the
specifications call for light granite as
the building material, although the pro-
posal is also open to bids on limestone
and, sandstone. The granite shall be
four-cut work, except carving, which
shall be finished by hand in spirited
and artistic manner"
The building is to be of single-story,
although 80 feet in height, and its dimen-
sions are to be go feet on South Nam
street and 72 feet on Prospect street.
There will be an entrance to the public
lobby on both streets, and the plans call
for ornate entrances of considerable de-
tail. The building sets back from either
street twelve feet at the point of en-
trance, although the street line and the
line of the building are not parallel on
Prospect street, there being more area
lust at the corner Of the street intarsec-
tion than at the rear of the lot. 1t in
planned to have this corner grassed over,
az well as the whole of the Prospect
street side, while the southerly and west
erly portions Of the unoccupied lot will
be concreted.
The height of the ground-story win
be seventeen feet and eight inches. On
the left of the Main street entrance is
the postmaster's private quarters. The
flooring is to be Of marble, as is the mep-
board. The corridor runs from the Main
street entrance around the corner and
the length OF the Prospect street side
of the structure. The staNap windows
and general delivery windows will be
directly in front of the Main street
entrance. Lock boxes viii come first on
the Prospect street side, and there viii
be 442 boxes. Opposite the Prospect
street entrance will be the carriers win
dows. while at the extreme western end
Of the Prospect street end of the corridor
will be the money order and registered
letter department.
The basement viii contain the boiler
room. the fuel room, storage rooms,
toilet rooms, stack rooms and rooTk for
the carriers The southerly side of the
building will be the driveway to the
rear of the lot for the mail teams. This.
IN brief, is sketch of the proposed
building The government is so exact
IN its construction requirements that the
details are very involved; but people
may gain some idea of how the building
will be planned from the above. The
plans and specifications are in charge of
he custodian, who is Postmaster f. w.
Bisbee.
The specifications state that the work
1f construction must be carried on with
sufficient workmeu and materials to the
satisfaction of the supervising architect
% insure its completion on or before the
irst day of May, 1910.
