ONE BIG FOOL
But He Doesn't Live in Barton
Nor Read the Monitor.

A man in Go nnecticut gave doc
tor, specialist in catarrh, $50 to
cure him of this common yet most
obnoxious disease.
The specialist gave him bottle of
me dicine and told him when and how
to use it.
The fool took the medicine home.
took one dose, put it on shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions.
Three months later with the medi
cine still on the shelf he told friend
that the specialist was a fake; that
he had paid him $50 and still had ca
tarrh as bad as ever.
This story is told for purpose.
HYOMEI pronounce ID High o-me)
won't cure catarrh If you don't
breathe it; it will cure catarrh If you
breathe it regularly.
Furthermore, you don't need to
give a catarrh specialist $50 to cure

How They Work the Legislature Game
in Illinois.


In his we'll written and exceedingly
interesting article "'The Lorimer
Scandal" in the September Ameri-
can Magazine c. S. Raymond gives
the following account of how the Illi-
nois legislature usually did business
"a session of the legislature might
be worth $500 or 500, 900. 1t depended
on the man. Brains came higher than
votes. The latter frequently, if not
always acted blindly. They learned
to trust and wait. After the session a
dividend would be declared. Good
boys were rewarded. The evidence
brought out regarding the forty-sixth
general assembly of Illinois shows that
5000 was the dividend on general leg
islation declared for the smaller votes
on the democratic side of the house
of representatives. Important dem
ocratic votes got more; Important
democratic brains still more and un
doubtedly the republican dividend
was larger.
Contributors to the Jackpot cal
be identified by the use of little i'm
agination. They include nearly ever,
! big association of interests and near
ly every large corporation au thorize
| to do business in the state. MANY
corporations regard the legislativ,
toll as regular biennial expense.

From Chester we went to Winder-
mere. Here were the ruins of Kendall
Castle, the Halves bridge, Bowners
Bay and the fine Riggs hotel. The
station is not on the lake but is about
mile and half away. From Winder-
mere, we took high coaches into which
we climbed by ladders. One coach
would hold sixteen or more of US.
This was fine ride, for the scenery
was lovely. The fields or rather
grounds were full of rhododendron in
full bloom. The blossoms were white
and pink from the lightest, most deli
cate pink all the way to deep red,
then violet hues. 1t was wonderful
sight. The laburnum trees were also
delightful with their blossoms hang
ing in long yellow tassels, with their
own sweet perfume. Our coaches
took US TO Ambleside. There we staid
over night at the Salutation hotel.
1t is very ancient, the walls are stone
and we were glad of bit of fire in
above stood a quaint old clock. The
younger ones of our party went out
either sightseeing or shopping and
left a few of US elderly ladies to rest
and write When dinner was served
that evening we were full of merri
ment at finding no teaspoons on the
table. At each plate were knives,
forks and a tablespoon. We had GUS
tard for dessert that day. The custard
cups were quite small. and wouldn't
you have smiled out loud to see US
eating out of such tiny cups with a
tablespoon. In the morning, when
coffee was served, we had coffee
spoons. They served dry toasts in
little frames, each slice standing UP in
it's own compartment. | must not
fail to tell you that we went to he'd
with candles. The lower part of the
hotel was lighted in a modern way!
Although two occupied a room each
had her own candle.
From Ambleside, coaches took us
to Gras mere and Keswick. On these
rides we saw the house of Harrie
Mertineau and that of DR.. Arnold of
Rugby fame, Rydal where Words
worth died-Dove cottage where
Wordsworth brought his bride and
lived nine years. In Grasmere was
the old burial ground where he was
buried, and we also saw the high rock,
reached by a flight of steps in the
solid rock, where Wordsworth sat to
compose some of his poems. It is
no wonder he loved and sang of
nature.
Across the Rydal river there are step
ping stones. They are very uneven,
some higher than those next them anC
some narrow, while others were wide
enough and fat One OF the young
ladies stopped when she got over mic
stream where the water was quite deeI
and called for help. She could not take
! another step, and no encouragement
could induce her to move till one Of
the guides went back for her. In the
: Keswick hotel the walls were covered
with dishes in blue ware, picturinG
: English scenery. This is arranged
!, round the pictures, and the parlo
! walls are we'll covered with it. Up
: stairs it is the same. We lunched al
KesWick and dried our outer garment
for we had had hard shower. From
Keswick we took the train for Glas
) gov to attend the convention of tn

2 at Oberammergau were the strategi

Rev. M. w. Farman of Westfeld,
the blind preacher, is a candidate for
the chaplaincy of the Vermont senate.
He is favored by so many ciergymen
of different denominations, supported
by so many Of the leading men of
affairs in the state, his past record in
that capacity has been so satisfactory
and the position filled with such pleas
ing dignity that it is not probable that
any other candidate will enter the
field. Considering MIR. Farman's
ability, and his incapacity for the reg
ular labors of a pastor, the recognition
of Mr. Farman's succession in the ca
pacity Of chaplain of Vermont's upper
branch of legislature is indeed fitting,
and we might add deserving by Mr..
Farman, who is a conspicuous example
of a self-made Vermontar under more
than an ordinary handicap.

Is the republican state committee
quite sure of its ground when it tries
to whip reluctant republicans into
voting for DR.. Mead by threatening
towns that show falling off in the
vote for governor with a loss of rep
resentation in all party conventions
two years hence? Is the committee
certain that the appOrtionment for
1912 will be based on the gubernator-
ial vote of 1910? Has this been the
rule of the past? Rather, has not the
apportionment for presidential years
been on the gubernatorial vote of the
preceding presidential year, not the
preceding off year? How was it in 1904
and 1903? Was not the basis in 1908
the gubernatorial vote of 1904, in
stead Of 1906? And that for 1904, was
1t not the gubernatorial vote of 1900,
not 1902? Someone with short mem
ory-we will not say with intent to
deceive voters-must have put out the
threat that towns would have to pay
the penalty in a reduced number of
convention delegates if there should
be any scratching of Mead this year.
There is nothing to it. The appor-
tionment two years hence will be on
the Prouty vote of 1908, and republi.
cans need not hesitate to take such
action this year as they please regard.

roads between Montpelier and Burling-

to ten inches deep. Despite this, he

newspaper man for wanting to get

better reason than a newspaper man

The speakership contest seems to
have narrowed itself down to a choice
between Howe Of Bennington and
Austin of st Adams. Of course the
newspaper boys would like to see
Howe made speaker, knowing as we
do that he is capable, informed on
legislative matters, and qualified in all
ways for the position. He was also a
memJer Of the last house, and this
recent experience should be an asset
to quick organization and eXpedient
work. We all know, too, that the
house under the leadership of Warren

good hands if he wins over Howe.

DR.. VIM. E. Barker Makes a
Remarkable Statement af-
ter Travelling from the At
lantic to the Pacific.

AS he secured some of the most notable
indorse ments to his theory, he does not
hesitate IN saying that he will positively
guarantee bi0OdiDe to cure stone in the
bladder or any kidney or bladder trouble,
no matter how long you have oeen suffer
ing. n nety seven per cent of the entire
LopulAti0n OF the Bnlted States etiilct
ed with kidney or bladder trouble. In
the last seven years bloo0ine has cured 96
per cent OF the cases tnat have been treated
with 1t.
Hundreds OF cases OF hemorrhage of the
bladder have been cured after treatment in
some OF the leading hospitals has failed to
! even relieve the patient. We are therefore
confident that our theory of treating these
cases with bloodine is the only possible
! manner IN which such large peTGeDtal G
OF cases can be cured, that we do not hesl-
tate to guarantee the eficiency OF biOodine.
Mr.. Hanson, the business manager OF
the Postal Telegraph and Cable CO., OF
/ Bidde fOrO, Maine, had q stone in the Dad
| DER removed with six and one half bottles
OF bloodine, after being told by all Of the
leading p1y eielRns in his vicinity that the
only way il could possibly be removed was
! by an operation. We stand ready to fur
nigh positive proof OF the above statement
! to anyone doubling the truth of the same.
More than five nailiion bottles OF blood
inc were sold in America last year. Can
there be any greater evidence OF merit than
this unparalleled sale of q scientific prod
uct. No other product has ever met with
such astounding sales in so short period,

Shall Women Vote?

Laying aside the subject of cam
paign issues for a SPELL let us drop
back to the idea of whether woman
shall vote or not. The latest idea
upon this subject which we have
heard expressed is that one of the
women has begun to look at the sub
ject from scientific point of view
claiming that there was once time
when there was no sex, when all be-
ings Of humanity acted and thought
alike in all things. AS the world
continues to evolve, however. the
status Of sex began to be more pro-
nounced. AS the intelligence of the
world progressed it became noticeable
that woman, by nature, shrank from
active participation with the outside
world ard sought to develop a sphere
of her own. To try TO destroy this
sphere and put woman into political
responsibility would result, says this
scientific writer, in bringing about
the primal condition of society-na
existence OF sex at all. This is quite
an argument. There are some, how
ever, who are dead set to run the
world at home and everywhere else.
To these we can only say that the
country is free and if there is nothing
interesting at home we can't blame
them for looking outside. Windsor

New Era in Vermont Farming.

High prices for all sorts of crops
and meat products as we'll as horses
and other live stock ought to make
this a great period for the average
Vermont farmer. Now if our law
makers would only legislate in, some
way to encourage capital to come into
the state and stay, the combined effect
would be a tremendous advance for
our agricultural interests.
Commissioner Of Agriculture 0. l..
Martin has noted in a statement sub
mitted to the state republican COM
mittee some Of the things he has been
able to accomplish since he assumed
the duties of his position He shows
that he issued in the spring of 1909 a
pamphlet containing list OF no less
than 700 available farms in Vermont
and it is encouraging to note that re-
sponses were received from every
state in the union and even from Mex
leo, with the result that a good num-
Der of farms have been sold to people
from outside the state.
Commissioner Martin has also held
a number of schools for farmers in
different parts of the state as we'll as
in connection with the State Agri-
cultural college, with special refer
ence to the need of progressive til
lers of the soil. The attendance has
been gratifying to the commissioner
and the interest evinced has also
been encouraging. The work has
been supplemented by the distribution
of quarterly bulletin containing sea.
sonable information for farmers.
1t is to be hoped the farmers Of
Vermont may more and more profit by
the object lessons constantly afforded
( them, and adopt those methods which
have been demonstrated to be thor.
oughly up-to-date as we'll as profit
able. 1t is too bad for so many farm
ers Of. Vermont to be Flooding along il
the way their fathers plodded decades
ago, when it has been shown conclu
sively that right methods can make
farming a more profitable calling OF
the average than any other.
Splendid progress has been made il
this direction during the past two
years. but it is to be hoped that som
way will be devised whereby ever
town in the state may have an objec
lesson in thoroughly up to date an
profitable farming with a small acre
age.-Burlington Free Press.
