AN UNDEUNTED DEMOCRACY

Here's to the undaunted and
unterrified democrats of Vermont.
Of all the democrats in our sister,
hood of states, the Vermont demo-
Gratis are the pluckiest. Without
inspiration of hope, with sure and
certain defeat. always staring them
in the faces, for over half a century,
the Vermont democrats have gone
to the polls rain or shine, and cast
their votes for the principles they
professed. The Vermont democrats
have just nominated their state
ticket, and inaugurated an active
campaign.f Such democrats who
have continued for years in spite
Of uninterrupted and overwhelming
defeat, to contend for what they
think is right and best, deserve to
win, and ultimately will. In 1872,
Vermont cast 1927 democratic
votes and in 1908, IL, 496 votes a
gain 81 $50 in SO years, an average
of about Is year. Vermont re-
pubGcans cast Al ,481 votes in 1872
and 80, 552 in 1908, loss of 1929
in 36.years, an average of. Sd a
year. The republican plurality is
28,056. So il can be seen the
democrats are not losing ground,
and this is giving courage. At
this rate of gain by the democrats
and loss by the republicans, the
democrats have good reason to
expect, by remaining loyal, to
capture the state in 401 years, and
in 1912 there is every reason to
believe that the plucky Vermont
democrats will hand the electoral
vote of that state to the democratic
candidate for president. If the
democrats of the country every
where had such courage and de-
votion to principle that they have
in Vermont. and would always fight
for the right as against the wrong,
for principle rather than for self,
the democratic organization would
be even more powerful and effective
than it now s.-Exchange.

CATS RUINED HIS BUSINESS

In the late sixties and early
seventies there lived an old French
man in Virginia City, named Canaan,
who followed the occupation of
buying, hauling and selling cord
wood. He insisted on cording the
wood he bought, and also cording
it when sold. He corded it hauled
it and recorded it and sold it for
the same price he paid for it, and
made money. After he retired
from business, he 'exp,ained about
as follows:

Hand-PaInted slippers.

Here is good news for the artistic
girl. Let her get out her paint tubes
and set to work on painting kid Slip
pers to match her summer frocks. A
white kid slipper of the latest vogue
Is adorned with painted forget-me-
nots. Naturally small blossoms are
the best to select for reproduction, but
some Of the larger flowers might be
conventionalized and worked up into
good slipper subjects.
Very artistic, too, are the slippers
OF brocade outlined with dull gold or
silver threads. The cloth-of-steel slip
pers are equally pretty and may be
worn with gown of almost any color.
Black velvet pumps are one of the
novelties of the summer for wear with
lingerie gowns By the way, the new
pumps have ankle straps which make
them much more comfortable than the
old models, which kept slipping of.
Laced sandals will be used for dress
shoes. They are fascinating and have
q tendency to decrease the size Of the
foot because the toes are short.

amiable purpose of soaring Frank on.
He found Harding away at the end
farthest from the cabin, busy getting
posts for the fence. Matthews was en-
tirely unknown personally to Harding,
but after saying How do?" he calmly
told the astonished Frank that he
would have to skip, as he (Matthews)
wanted the place himself, and had
meant to take it up before Frank had
ever struck the country at all. OF
course, that was no argument, but 1t
suffced for Matthews. Harding, when
he had recovered sufficiently from his
surprise at this cool intimation, in
formed his visitor that he had taken
the place up quite legitimately and
meant to hold it. Tuck heard him
out in silence. Then he told Harding,
with many picturesque oaths, that he
would give him nine days to clear out,
and If he was not out by that time
he would put him past taking an In
terest in anything earthly. Then he
rode off.
On the ninth day the young rancher
was sitting eating his dinner, when
he heard hoof-beats outside the door,
which was standing open on account
Of the heat Next moment a revolver
shot rang out, and Matthews voice
shouted: We'll, you son of coyote,
SO you won't get, won't you, chr"
Harding canted his shotgun up and
fred from the hip, without raising II
to his shoulder Immediately he had
pulled the trigger he stepped back be
hind the door. The shot was followed
by a thud and sound OF gallopina
hoofs.
Looking through the space between
the wall and the door, Harding saw
his enemy lying stretched on tbs
ground-stone dead.
Harding was acquitted and had M
further trouble. He is now HVinl
peacefully on the ranch with his wifi
aud children.

AssaiIant Who Boldly Tries to Get

Helena.-In the '90s / was drifting
about Montana, working at whatever
happened to come along, Just staying
in one place and at one occupation so
long as my erring fancy dictated.
In this way I wandered from Idaho,
though the Yellowstone National park,
into Wyoming, and from there across
the line to Montana with a trail herd
of cattle to the Milk river country.
After that went into the Little Rocky
mountains, where / took up small
ranch for cattle raising on Duck creek.
Here 1t SO happened became the
nearest neighbor and chum of the
principal actor IN the following following Incl
dent.
The Little Rockies" Is small
clump of hills situated In the eastern
end of Choteau county, Montana, ly-
ing like a green island in the center
of vast plain. At the southern end
of the range begin the Bad Lands Of
the Missouri, region Of broken-up
ridges entirely unfit for cultivation,
The Little Rockies contained small
scattering population of miners and q
few small ranchers. Mixed with
these were few tough cases whose
private addresses were badly wanted
by sundry county sheriffs. Into this
particular part had drifted Frank
Harding, a thorough westerner,
raised" on the prairies. He had man.
aged to save little from cowpunch-
ing, herding and teaming, and he took
up ranch a few miles from me,
which had been deserted by its for
mer owner. He settled down to real
hard work, getting his property fenced
and improved.
A few miles distant, on Moose
creek, lived family of four brothers
named Matthews.
One Of the brothers who was called
'Tuck" had lost an arm in pistol
fight and not being able to work was
trying to sustain his reputation of be-
ing bad man"
One day soon after Harding ar
rived Tuck rode over to Deer creek
where Harding's ranch was, for the

Wishing to depict tragic episode
with something OF its real horror, 1t
arranged for the photographing Of .
scene which was to end with the
crashing of horse and vehicle over q
precipice, and to this end 1t was quite
prepared to sacrifice an ancient We
hicle and an equally ancient horse.
A suitable precipice was found at
Greix, IN Brittany, and everything was
got ready for the picture, but the pop
ulace, hearing Of what was going on.
and feeling Disguised at the cruelty
which was involved to the animal,
bounded the cinematograph operators
from their quiet resort.
The operators. however, simply
moved on few miles, this time to
Ploemeur, and at this spot the horse
and vehicle were made to dash over
a precipice, photographs of the spec
tacle being taken. The horse was Of
course killed and the vehicle smashed
70 pieces.
When it was all over the police ap
peared and served summonses on
those concerned.
For a long time the summonses could
not be heard, the operators having
gone to Africa to find another sensa-
tional picture. Finally, however, the
case came on before the Lorient police
court, and the Judge, whose comments
were more caustic than the punish
ment, inflicted the maximum fine pro-
vided by the Grammont law, which,
however, was only a matter Of three
dollars.
The cinematograph company was
declared responsible for the COSTS
while the photographer who actually
took the photographs was acquitted.
