Obtained Pension Fraudulently.

Mrs. Rosie Aiken. of Goshen, was fined
500 by Judge James l.. Martin in United
Slates court at Rutland Wednesday after
noon after pleading gull y TO obtaining a
pension fraudulently. Her daughter,
Miss Flora A. White, of Boston, was al
rested in that city Tuesday ON an indict-
ment from Rutland and she will be
brought to Rutland for announcement of
her fine but probably not during this
term of court.
The government in this case claimed
t0at Mis-. Aiken swore falsely concerning
the date ot-her marriage to an old soldier
and in this manner obtained pension
money. Her attorney, r. FL. O'Brien,
said that her daughter was more to blame
and thus the fine was made light.
Mrs. Aiken was married ia 1897 but in
order to get in under the law she swore
she was married In January, 1890, and
she also changed her marriage license to
read in this manner, substituting the fig
urcs. 1t is claimed that the daughter
was witness and that she also swore
falsely to affidavits.

Vermont and United States senator,
Carroll ). Page, In her early thirties
she worked in the home of Senator Page
parents and when in 1913. son was born
there. she was one of his first nurses.
Countless are the tales of early DAYS
and their piivations that Mrs. Foster can
relate, particularly of the agonies of the
times of the Civil War when her husband
and son fell victims to the horrors of An
Jacksonville prison.
| In the quiet of little farm horne perch
ed high up on the hills of Sutton, this
woman is passing her last d Iys, and while
her mind dwells much on the past, she
still retains an active interest in all abou t
her.
Mrs. Foster was born on Sterling Noun
tain, in the town of Johnson, November
1910. Like many others born of New
England parents in those early days, she
was early thrown upon her resources.
AT the age of eight, at time when pres.
ent day, parents are starting their chill
dren in the primary schools, Mrs. Foster
took her few belongings and went out to
work her way in the world. She worked
for her board and attended schools, such
as they were, until she was sixteen, at
which time she married Thomas Stacey,
of Groton. Mr.. Stacey died of consump-
ton, and some years later she married
Haskell Foster, of Swanton. Mr.. Foster
died in Andersonville prison and at the
same time and place, Mrs. Fosters son
by her first marriage, mere boy who
had enlisted only six months before at
the age of fifteen, passed away. Two of
the other children of her first marriage
died in infancy. Another grew to man
hood, dying at the age of 40.
There were four other children by the
second marriage, Mrs. Olive kcGaffey,
Inglewood, California; Charles Foster, of
East Enfield, N. H.; Mrs. Minnie Allen,
of North Troy;and Mrs. Della LeClair, of
Sutton. After the death of Mr. Foster,
the children with the exception of the
youngest, now Mrs. LeClair. were put
out to work, and Mrs. Foster kept her
little home in Eden, and worked out to
support herself and daughter. Later the
daughter married and moved to Sutton,
and it is in this home that Mrs. Foster is
now happily passing the evening of her
life.
Two months ago she fell, cutting a cash
in her forehead. This resulted in par
tial shock which has slightly effected her
mind. Aside from that she is surprising
ly well and active. Up to the time of
the fall she took great interest in her
son-in-law's farm, worked about. the

LEGISLATIVE NOTES

The cemeteries of the state seem to be
: the only things TINS far which are being
, properly developed.
: A bill to cut down the savings bank ex.
emption from $1,000 to $1,000 was killed
without word of protest from any one
A committee is going to investigate
the States detective service. It's safe
|. guess that the committee will not employ
any spoilers to do the Investigating.
The proposed railroad from Morristown
to Montpelier, which the House has
chartered, if built, will open as fine a
country as can be found in Vermont.
Bean of Newport has introduced a bill
preventing railroad companies from shift
ing and shutting cars or making up
trains over highway crossings in villages
having more than 1900 population.
A bill to raise pay of Judges of the
Probate Courts met with instant and
violent death. The one to raise the pay
of the Bank Commissioner and the At
torney General will probably meet like
fate.
The Legislature has egalized the Grand
List of Morristown, amended the charter
of West Derby, rechartered the Soldiers
Home and Incorporated score of Gem
etery Associations, so it would not be
fair to say that nothing has been done.
If it is in order here, we would say
that this state will make better progress
if it goes on with reasonable rapidity
where the road seems clear than it will II
it hesitates before each step. An occa-
eional stumble will not be as disastrous
as the delay caused by feeling out each
step with cane.
