HIS LOVE sPURNED
Californian Told a Tale Of Woe to the
Barre Police.

Californian Told a Tale Of Woe to the
Barre Police.
A stranger wandered in to the
police station at Barre Thursday and
impaired to the police a narrowing
tale of the hckleness of woman and
the woman in this particular being
prepossessing young lady who resides
in this city. It started something
like this: The man In the case and
the woman, who refused to consider
herself a party In the case at the last
moment, were brought into CORE
spondence by the means of matri-
monial agency.
She resided in Barre, he on the Pa
cific coast; but as the letters were ex-
changed his feelings became such
that he took the long trip from River
side, California, to Barre, Vermont,
with matrimonial intentions When
Mr. Would-be-benedict arrived in this
city, he hied himself to the domicile
where the object of his affections re-
sides and declared himself.
The lady looked. Then she started,
and finally recovered herself. Then
she explained that she would be un-
able to entertain him at her residence
at that time, but made one OF those
arrangements vulgarly called a
date" to meet him on the street
that evening. The Californian was
on hand at the proper time, awaiting
an opportunity to declare his inten-
lions. but the lady failed to appear
Still he did not propose to. give up
after travelling over 800 miles to meet
the lady. and he again sought her
company
He again went to the house, and
putting on brave front. walked tC
the door with visions OF the lady
probably appearing before his eyes
There was nothing to the vision
however. and the reality that me
him at the partial was a stern-faceC
man, who gave him the order to abou
face and git" He got, and so fa
has not been heard to declare his in
tention of pressing his suit at pres
ent.

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM.
Every Woman Should Read Thls.

The number of diseases peculiar to
woman is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention OF their names, and It is a
fact that most of these diseases are
of a catarrhal nature. A woman can
not be well If there is a trace of the
catarrhal germs In her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be mistaken idea. We are so
sure OF this that we offer to supply
medicine absolutely free OF cost in
every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction or does not substan
tiate our claims. With this under
standing, no woman should hesitate
to believe our honesty OF purpose or
hesitate to put our claims to test.
There is only one way to cure Cat
arrh. That way is through the blood.
You may use all the snuffs, douches,
or like remedies for years without get
ting more than temporary relief at
best. Catarrh is caused by germ.
That germ is carried by the blood TO
the innermost part of the system I'M
Til the mucous membrane is broken,
irritation and Inflammation produced,
and flow of mucous results and you
can probably realize how silly it is to
attempt to cure such an nilment un.
less you take medicine that follows
the same course as the germ or para
site.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty years
made his specially Catarrh and with
this medicine he averaged 90 per cent
of cures where It was employed. No
other remedy is so properly designed
for the ailments of woman. It will
purify and enrich the blood, stop mu
cous discharge, destroy all germ mat
ter, remove all impurities from the
system, soothe. heal and strengthen
the mucous tissues, and bring about
a good feeling of health and strength
We want you to try Rexall Mucu
Tone on our guarantee. II you are
not benefited, or for any reason moi
satisfied, simply tell us and we will
hand back your money Rexall Mucu
Tone comes in two Sizes soc and 81.

According to the old New England
saying we may look for another cold
late spring this year The theory on
which the prediction is based is that
the prevailing wind at the time the
sun crosses the line is likely to be
the prevailing wind for the period fol
lowing. In this section a cold north
west wind has prevailed, not only
during the ushering in of spring but
most of the time since the first of
March. We have not had an early
spring in Vermont for eight years, so
that should this also prove backward
it will follow precedent. 1t is ON rec
lord in Bennington that potatoes have
been planted here as early as March
rs and often as early as the first week
in April but not during recent years

Speaker Of New York House Discus
ses Primary Bill.

Albany, March 2O.-Speaker Wads-
worth after having read Senator Dav-
exports statement on direct nomina-
tions. said
Il stand on what / have previously
said about direct nominations. l look
upon the committee plan as one of
the most CHASTITY jobs ever perpetra-
ted upon the people Of the state. 1t
Is vicious and nothing more or less
than statutory 'bossism'
Il have been very much impressed
with the statement of Senator Daven-
port about the nomination of candi-
dates by committeeman in public
meetings. l can't adequately express
my opinion of that provision It is
merely calling the roll in public after
the deal has been made. How beau
tifully it reads and little it means.
suppose 1t is to give the good people
Of the state the impression that they
are being represented properly"
William Barnes, Jr., leader of the
Republican organization of Albany
county, has made the following state
ment:
The Human bill has many excel
lent features. especially the election
Of party committeeman by the people
direct, but its trainers do not know
or have forgotten what human nature
is like. The nomination of ticket
by committee, leaving eight weeks
for those nominations to be pounded
by malcontents within the party I'M
der the cloak of good citizenship,
would disfgure the best ticket that
ever could be gotten together by the
highest-minded and most intelligent
men.
The bill provides that in 1910 the
Republican state committee about the
Fourth OF July shall put up ticket
and eight weeks are left for every
body who does not like to pound it
If it wins at the primary in Septem
Der it will not have wind enough to
go through the campaign to election
This proposal reminds me of a gen
eral, who. before going into battle
commanded his forces to be divided
into rival camps and batter each other
to pieces for a couple of days just foi
practice and in order to get then
ready for the conflict against the en-
envy later.
IF the Republican party loses the
state OF New York in 1910 it will be {
reflection upon the administration o
President Taft. and might easily pu
him out of the running for renomina
ton. Some things are very simple /
one only looks beneath the surface"

The Bennington Banner rushes TO
the defence Of Mr. Hapgood of Peru,
and insists that none of the comment
made by the state press on his
Shrewsbury sympathy act is quite cor
rect Peru is in Bennington county
and so is Mr. Hapgood-and the Ban
ner does well to be loyal The Trib-
une recognizes some very excellent
ideas in the makeup of the gentleman
referred to, and is always glad to en-
phasize a good idea, whether it ema-
mates from Peru or some less impOr-
tant town in Windsor county. But
when somebody old enough to know
better introduces a breach of the
peace performance, the martyr" pose
should not be crowded into the range
Of the public vision. And this with.
out any criticism of that 'fellow-feel-
ing which should make us all won
