During the cattle plague of 1866 in
England a farmer who had lost a num-
Der of his cows grew so depressed that
he fully persuaded himself he had al
so contracted the disease. The medi-
cal man whom he consulted tried in
vain to laugh him out of his fears,
but subsequently, being fond Of a
joke, pretended to agree with the pa
tents views. and solemnly told him
II he would attend TO his instructions
he would be cured He then gave
the farmer a prescription, which he
directed should be taken to a neigh
boring druggist, but when the latter
opened the envelope and read the con
tents he was as much startled as the
farmer. For the prescription was as
follows: This man has the cattle
plague. Take him into the backyard
and shoot him, according to act OF
parliament" Needless to say, the
cure was instantaneous,

The cold wave in Vermont is fully
explained The human iceberg Henry
Clay Ide, recently appointed as min
lister TO Spain, where he will have op-
portunity to thaw out if he cares to
take advantage of the balmy climate
was waited into the state and honored
his home town, ST. Johnsbury, with a
visit. The characteristic attitude Of
a resident of st. Johnsbury is pros
trate before an Ide.-Rutland News.
1t is to be suspected that the News
is not acquainted with Judge Ide. The
truth unQuestionably is that he is so
much warmer than the rest of St.
Johnsbury that if he lived there right
along he would melt the town into
something like the geniality for which
Judge Ide is famous where he isknown.
Think what would happen if st. Johns
bury should really smile and be like
other towns. In pure kindness OF
heart Judge Ide refrains from perma-
nently upsetting the climate of st
Johnsbury and the citizens of that
famous burg will continue to have tc
go to Woodsville to acquire warmth
and any other color save blue.

Investing In Nature.

A man must invest himself near at
hand, and in common things, and be
content with a steady and moderate
return. if he would know the blessed
ness of a cheerful heart and the sweet
ness of a walk over the round earth.
This is a lesson the American has yet
to homeopathic of amusement on
a low key. He expects rapid and ex-
traordinary returns He would make
the very elemental laws pay usury.
He has nothing to invest in walk
it is too slow, too cheap. We crave
the astonishing. the exciting, the far
away, and do not know the highways
of the gods when we see them-always
a sign of the decay of faith and SIM
plicity Of man-John Burroughs.

THE SUMNER HOTEL BUSINESS

An event like the coming Tercen-
tenary celebration emphasizes the
need of more and better hotels in Yer
mont for the accommodation of guests.
Our present hotels, especially in the
larger towns, accommodate the COM
mercial trade as well as it is cared for
anywhere save in the big cities, but
the state can never be the resort of
vacationists and pleasure seekers that
it is fitted for unless we take care
of those who come so well that they
will come again and bring others with
them.
There are scores of places in Yer
mont just as attractive naturally as
Manchester and Woodstock, but these
places have become famous the world
over through their hotels, the Equinox
and the Woodstock Inn. The lesson
ought not to be hard to learn but it
seems that it is. 1t is not necessary
that the hotels be monstrous affairs
that will accommodate hundreds of
guests.
For proof of what can be done in a
small town, visit M. r Hapgood's lit
tie hotel. the Bromley House, at Peru.
Peru is nothing but hamlet of a doz-
en- or so houses perched up on top of
the Green Mountain range and ten
miles off the railroad Yet here is a
hotel with all the neatness, attractive
ness and comfort that the most exact
ing can desire. That this is known
and appreciated is shown by the pat
ronage that it receives during the
summer The landlords of the small
er hotels of the state ought to hold a
convention at Hapgood's hosiery and
take a few lessons in what to do and
how to do it.
From the small inn like this up to
the big perfectly equipped resort hotel
like the Equinox. there is an almost
unlimited field for profitable invest
ment in Vermont Give the guests
what they want and not what you
think they ought to have and they will
come and stay and bring their friends

LOCALS WIN POOR GAME
Swatfsst at Athletic Park
Sunday Ends Disastrous
~ for Foley Team

The Little Falls Gold Dust baseball
team defeated the Foley team Is to IA
at Athletic park last Sunday after
noon in q poor exhibition of the
national game. In fact Sundays
game would more appropriately come
under the head of two old cat.
LANCE, who twirled for the locals,
had an off day and passed number of
mon and was found for eight clean
hits and another was credited against
him through decision of the umpire.
The locals did not play up to standard,
but the visiting team seemed to have
been troubled slightly in this manner
also, and the teams managed t. play
neck and neck throughout the game
The umpire eye was off and he made
some bad decisions.
Foley scored seven runs in the hrst
inning with but one nit, that a three
Dagger, getting four of their men on
bases on balls, one OH tielder's choice
and one on passed third strike. One
scored on an all.around promenade.
The locals scored five runs IN the
first inning on four hts two getting
first on balls. The visitors scored two
runs in the second inning, and live
more in the sixth inning on five hits,

Mic Weyland won his care in the
district court which convened at SC.
Cloud last week. The case Is one
that was brought against Weyland BY
Charles w. johnson of Minneapolis. q
real estate dealer, who claimed that
defendant had listed with him forty
lots in Little Falls, near the Pine
Grove, each Of which he valued at
1925, and which he wanted to trade.
Plaintiff alleges that he made the deal
trading the lots for store in St.
Charles, Mimi, but that when he mi;
in his bill for $245 for this service
defendant would not pay.
Weyland claims that the plaintiff
was guilty of a breach Of faith IN
making the trade, as he guaranteed
the stock to be saleable, and that when
in taking an inventory of the stock
he found that the groceries did not
inventory at half the listed price and
that the dress goods were old and
worn.
The court decided the case against
the plaintiff.
