pany against Henry Lawson was taken
up instead of the other. This case
has to do with certain pieces of a
monument, which are said to have
been cut for one Charles Clements, as
dealer. Part of the shipment was
made and telegram came urging
prompt shipment of the other parts

PATRICK HARMON INJURED.
Barre Man, Wei Known Here, Hal
Hand Hurt as Result Of Trick.

Because of his unwillingness to take
a dare, Patrick IIannon, a we'll known
young man of Barre, is suffering from
a wound in his right hand, caused by
a friend showing his arm against a
sharp tack which penetrated into his
palm as for as the head and which
may result in blood poisoning. One
Of the friends who had congre-
gated in a store in Barre the other
evening had a new trick In the shape
of rubber tack, which he placed In
the palm of his left hand and raising
his right over it offered to bet any
one that he would push on the left
hand and the tack. A man took him
up and hitting down on the tack,
which of course was rubber, he suf-
fered no i'll effects. The others squee-
zed his hands on to it and tried in
every way conceivable to hurt him
with the tack but without avail. Then
in opening his hand the legerdemain
artist slipped a steel tack in the palm
of his hand and made the rubber one
disappear.
Mr.. Harmon, who was one of the inter-
ested onlookers said, whether fooling
or otherwise, that he could do the
same and taking the steel tack held
it point upward in his left hand and
slowly lowered the right down to il
until within few inches, when he
stopped for a second. Then one Of
the crowd, who was probably lii on
the game and thought that it was q
rubber tack still, gave Harmon a slap
driving his hand into the sharp steel

tack went in as far as the head but
the wound did not bleed until the tack
was pulled out Harmon is being
looked after by physician but his

President Taft Explains How East
ern States Retain Their Influence.

ern States Retain Their influence.
Washington, ID. c., March 31.-Pres-
ident Taft in an address before the
Ohio Society of Washington tonight,
pointed out that the dominating pow,
err of the eastern States in Congress
lies in the fact that they keep men in
office when they place them there. His
words created a mild sensation. He
contrasted the influence of the east
in legislative affairs with that of the
west and attributed the supremacy of
the former to the continuous service
of legislative representatives.
why is it," asked the President,
that the small States of the east ex-
ercises so much power in Congress?
1t is not because an eastern man has
any more capacity in the matter of
legislation than western man-cer-
tainly not more than an Ohio man. 1t
is because when the eastern States
get good representative they keep
him as long as he lives, and then he
has an influence that vastly exceeds
the mere numerical representation of
population.

germane to the subject of this occa-
sion, but it occurred to me to say this

the season as being more than hall

for fortnight there will be good
deal more sugar made. Those maxi

the largest sugar product dealers in
the State, said that the demand for

orders, was good. He has shipped
