Hogs in the Country.
Henry Banker

A feature of interest in the
hog report by L. j. Schwabacher
& Company, of Chicago. These
authorities went to great trouble
to compile this report on the sit
uation which is fought with such
intense interest to the trade at
this time. They obtained re-
ports on the conditions from
nearly every county in eight hog
raising States concerning the per-
centage of hog population as COM
pared to year ago, the number
of hogs. condition of spring pigs
and time this pig crop would be
ready for market.
A study of the details of this
report shows that "a counties in

consin, rs per cent, and so on.
The report of prospects is for a
big pig crop and the condition of
spring pigs is very generally re-
ported as exceptionally good. In
some localities breeding animals
had been so generally disposed
of that the pig prospect is bad.

The Editor has His Troubles.

The editor of a local paper is
often unjustly censured for his
mistakes. The wonder is that
he does not make more of them.
On the average his paper
must deal with all kinds of sub
jects, give the names, date, etc.
One hour he may be engaged
in reporting a religious meeting
and the next drawing the pic
ture of a fight. He must con-
dense and fill with his items sew
eral columns whether events are
transporting to throw up material
for his use or not. Count the
local items in a paper and mag
inc how many steps they have

Weaving Of the Web.

1t is better to weave in the web
Of life bright and golden fill
ing" The words rang out with
such cheerful decision that the
teacher at the school for the
blind and l paused before the
open door. A young blind girl
was reciting to a group of COM
panions. They were all so
CHEEKY and optimistic, in spite of
Swallowed lives, that l could but
express my surprise.
Yes, answered the teacher,
you have there a practical illus
tration in the weaving of the
web;' the bright and golden fill
ing is certainly being threaded
in by my girls"
What sort of filling are you
and l weaving into the web?
Dark threads or bright? Many
of us grumble and fuss more
over trifies than others do over
buzzling knots. Each weave has
snarls to unravel, and the pat
terms are often intricate and I'M
certain, but courage, hope, and
persistence accomplish much, and
their possessor is not apt to be
of the kind that "blames heaven
for tangled ends"
The loom of life is going
steadily on, and each days work
adds threads to the web that will
be unrolled in eternity. See that
many of them are bright and
golden.

long walk and much effort to-
reach the facts. There is no end
to his work, when one paper
goes to press he turns his atten-

the rounds in search of news and
may not get a line. From some
he must get news without their
knowing it, drawing them into
conversation and obtaining what
he wants in sections. He may
labor for hours in chasing down

nothing in it. His local columns

Rewards Vermont Woman

Poultney-As a reward for the care
she layished on him in his infancy,
King George V has summoned to
her native land Mrs. Ann Roberts of
this town once his nurse. to spend her
last days in comfort. The King has
bought for her home in the village
of Bethesda, North Wales, and thither
she will soon go. Mrs. Roberts has
lived bert the past three years, COM
ing here to visit her brother, Thomas
Edmunds for 40 years resident OF
the town. Mrs. Roberts was born in
Bethesda and when a girl went to
London to seek service" She was 4
red-cheeked maiden who soon mar
ried young tradesman. They sci
up housekeeping a short distance from
Buckingham Palace and she attracted
the notice of Queen Alexandra's at
tendants and took her duties in the
palace the day following the birth Of
King George. Her own child, a few
weeks old, was given into the care OF
nurse and was taken i'll and died
although the young mother was KEEP
in ignorance until several days later

Bride Secured License.

rlington-Smoothing the pathway
for worthy young people who wish to
enter into the bonds of matrimony is
enc of the offices which Rt. Rev FIR.
Cloarec, pastor of st. Joseph's church
here, performs along with the other
duties of his position. That he does it
well is evident from the fact that one
happy bride-to-be secured marriage
license at the city clerks office
after Mgr. Cloarec had paved the way.
The license was granted to Joseph
r. Charter of Annunciation, P. O.,
whose age was given as % and his &C.
cupation as a railroad man, and Mary
Brittle Cecilia Boileau, also of Annun-
citation, and 20 years of age. City Clerk
Grandy said that he understood the
bridegroom-elect was unable to come
to the office for the license owing to
the nature of his duties with the rail
road company.
Miss Boileau, however, was equal
to the occasion and her graceful figure
and stylish manner created quite a
sensation in the City Clerks office
where she signed the necessary docu
ments with a flourish that appealed
immensely to the office force. Sht
left with the license securely in hel
possession.
AS forerunner to the granting o.
the license, Mgr. Cloarec made cal
,upon City Clerk Grandy for the pur
pose of assuring him that it would b'
perfectly proper to issue the license

Big Power Plant Planned.

Rutland-If a proposition promul-
gated by John B. Reynolds, formerly
OF this city, representing Boston cap
italists is carried out, Clarendon gorge
ona of the slightly spots in western
' ermont and popular place for pic
mic parties, which might be develop
ed as an attraction for hundreds of
tourists every season with proper man
agement, will be totally obliterated.
The plan is 20 build one or more
dams on Mill river in connection with
a power plant, which would set the
water back so that the gorge would
be entirely filled.
Just who is interested in the scheme
cannot be learned as every nego tia
ton SO far has been carried on with
the greatest secrecy, but it known that
surveyors have been at work at diff
ferent times during the summer along
the river and that at least three farm
owners in Clarendon, whose places
border on the stream, nave received
checks to bind options on their prop
erty.
Few people in Clarendon know any
thing about the details of the plans
more than that scheme is under
way to harness water power OF
which little use has heretofore ever
been made except 10 run John II. King
sley's grist mill at East Clarendon.
Very little water flows through the
bed of Mill river above the gorge in
the summer time but it is said that a
sufficient quantity could be stored in
the spring by putting one or more
dams in the gorge to furnish consid-
cradle power What use it is proposed
to make of the power cannot be de-
termined.

method were made at the laboratory
recently, resulting very satisfactorily.
The books are dropped into a solution

taken out of the solution the books
are placed before an electric fan and,
when, dry, are as good as new.
