Friends and Relatives Vanished When
Denton's Riches Left Him.
Chicago-The body Of Stephen H.
Denton, Harvard graduate and vete-
ran of the Mexican and Civil wars,
lies in a west side undertaking estab-
Iishment and is threatened with dis
section.
Denton once possessed wealth and
was associated with his brother in
the dry goods business in Iowa.
Friends and relatives appear to have
vanished with his riches. He pos
sessed but $2.15, a pawn ticket for
his watch and some old clothes when
he was admitted to the Dunning in
Urinary early in January, and not a
person visited him or made inquiry
concerning the progress Of the dis
ease which carried him of last Satur-
day, and none has claimed the body.

A fine bit Of irony was recorded in the
Senate when Lieut.. Gov. Slack referred
the porcupine bounty bill, PASSED by the
House, to the Senate committee on in
sane. Perhaps Mr.. Slack had a longer
memory than most of the solons OF the
House. The state has already had an ex-
perience with bounty on hedgehogs. Such
a law was passed in 1902, the bill being
introduced by the representative from
Fayston. In the first year that the bounty
was in force 1t cost the state $4,000 and
the next year a much larger. sum. The
legislature of 1904 promptly repealed the
law, which was making serious inroads on
the state treasury,

In considering the possibility of the
appointment of r. w. Warner Of Yer
gennes to membership in the public SER
vice commission to succeed Eli Porter OF
Wilmington the legislative correspondence
Of the Burlington Free Press says: "Mr.
Warner is a druggist of that city and the
chairman of the state board of phar-
macy and is regarded as a successful
business man of liberal ideas, More than
that it is said that he was one of the
original Mead men in Addison county and
that early in the campaign he took of
his coat and put in lots of hard and sue
cessful work for the governor" Governor
Mead is not likely to use the public SER
vice commission in paying political debts
He cannot do better than to reappoint Mr.
Porter tried, true. experienced man who
has the confidence of everybody.

5o17 BUSHELS OF POTATOES.
Big Yield Of 20 Acres Of Land on the
9rattlebore Retreat Farm Under A. W.
RoePs Direction.


Persons who have marveled at the big
pumpkins, single specimens exceeding AGO
pounds in weight, which Austin w. Roel
raised when he was gardner at the Brat
tlebOro Retreat and exhibited in agri-
cultural hall at the Valley fair ought to
look at the immense yield of potatoes
which Mr.. Roel recently harvested as
manager of the Retreat farm. Probably
but few Brattleboro persons ever saw
anything like il. In the enormous bins at
the farm is stored the biggest harvest of
potatoes ever grown by one man In this
town, and it probably would be safe to
say that it is the largest ever grown by
one man in Vermont. 1t is doubtful If the
record has been exceeded in the great
potato districts in Maine The bins con-
tanned 5O17 bushels when Mr.. Roel COM
peted his harvest n few days ago.
These 5017 bushels represent the prod
uct of approximately 20 acres of land
More acres were planted to potatoes, in
years before Mr.. Roel assumed the man
agement of the farm, but the yield never
was as large before, and while the past
season was a good season for potatoes
| special pains were taken by Mr.. Roel to
! get the most he could out of the soil.
| The ground was fertlized well and the
vines were sprayed twice with PyroX and
| twice with the Bordeaux mixture to kill
| the insects. Four varieties were grown
principally, White Beauty, Mortgage
! LITTER Carmine and Sir Walter Raleigh,
! all good growers, and the run is un-
| usually even, there being comparatively
| few small specimens in the bins.
| While ii was necessary to hire some
help, a good proportion of the work was
| done by patients at the institution. Nc
| hand hoeing was done, a Prout hoe and
| shovel plow taking the place of hand
| work, and when the tubers were matured
about half OF them were dug with po-
| tato digger. Some parts of the field yield
| ed 400 bushels an acre, while on othel
| parts the yield was lighter, making the
average yield $50 bushels an acre. The
best potatoes will find their way to thu
tables at the Retreat, the requirement.
of which are very large in the course of {
year, but many of them will be fed Il
the hogs in the piggery, which is an in
of the Retreat farm.
Besides the potatoes Mr.. Roel has rails
ed 2l6O bushels of field corn, which h.
finished husking this week. For severa
years previous to this year no field cor
was grown on this farm for husking,
being cut for the silos. The silos hav
been filled this year as usual, the PIG
bushels OF ears being in addition to tn
silo corn.
A smaller item, although large in II
self, is the harvest of beets. The farr
has yielded this season 400 bushels {
beets. They win be fed to the cattle, {
which there is a fine large herd of regis
tered Holsteins.

Mr.. Elliot Of Hartford has introduced a
bill asking for $4,000 to aid the state
fair, $4,000 in 1911 and the same amount
in 1912. This is double the sum previously
provided. We imagine this bill will have
hard shedding The argument in favor of
the appropriation probably will be that the
fair possesses great educational value for
the farmers. There are several high grade
fairs in the state which are not bottled
babies, and which are doing highly cred
liable work without state aid, notably
Bratueboro, Rutland, Middlebury, St.
Johnsbury and Barton. Nearly as many
farmers attend each one of these fairs as
the exhibition at White River Junction.
If the state is 10 indulge in the fair
bounty business it would be only fair to
divide the money, but it would be bet
ter business policy to let each fair stand
on its merits, the state fair included By
the way, it would be advisable in the dis
cussion of Mr. Elliot's bill to ask for a
financial statement of the state fairs
which have received state aid.

BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, NOVEMBER A. 1910.
IN THE LEGISLATURE.

The Vermont Legislature of 1910 can
not be charged with undue haste. 1t has
been in session a month, has elected a
United states Senator and supreme court
and superior judges, has debated the por-
cupine bounty bill and the bill proposing
to change the name of otter creek to Of
ter river, has listened to the introduc-
ton Of a bill to change the name of Ar
rowhead mountain in Milton to Rattle
snake mountain and other measures of
similar importance, but it has done al
most nothing with the important legisla-
tion which is desired. 1t costs the state
$500 a day to run the legislat ture, SO that
delay is really an important matter. One
legislative correspondent figures that the
debate on the otter river bill cost the
state $4,000 before the measure was re-
jected by the House.

er. But this husband differed from type.
He was a gentleman to begin with, q
gentleman in the true sense of being de-
cent. self-respecting and true to the high
est traditions Of his race. Instead of be-
ing a spendthrift, he was a business man.
Instead of being a libertine he was the
fmplacable enemy of loose living. In
stead of being simply money-worshiper
he was deeply in love with his wife. 1t
took time for the young woman to realize
this fact and to establish her husband
upon the plane of both respect and af-
lection to which he was entitled. Mean
while her escape from disaster was a
narrow one. A panoramic view of the
aimless society life Of Paris Is given in
brilliant tones by the co-authors. who are
undoubtedly drawing from life. In the
swift rush the story reaches its climax
in duel for which there Is no recent
parallel in fiction for its incisive direct
ness OF description.
THE CONQUEST OF CONSUMPTION.
BY Woods Hutchinson, A. NJ, NJ. D..
author Of Studies in Human and
Comparative Pathology" etc. Bos-
ton: Houghton Mifffin Company.
DR.. Hutchinson's reputation as a writer
upon medical topics Is based upon a num-
Der of valuable works which have most
effectively presented scientific truths IN
popular terms to reach the largest posi-
BILE number of readers. In this volume
he conveys message of hope to the suf-
ferers from tuberculosis and of encour-
agement to those fighters in the ranks
against disease who are striving to les
sen the toll which humanity annually
pays to the great white plague. In spe-
cific terms he tells what consumption Is.
how 1t is caused, how it is propagated by
poor food, bad air and by insanitary con-
ditions. On the constructive side he tells
what can be done and what has been done
in the way of recovery of health by open
air sleeping by camping In healthful
places and by good food. The volume Is
illustrated with diagrams and half-tones
giving practical suggestions for the per-
sonal warfare against the disease.

The Dramatic Unities.

Brander Matthews in the Atlantic.
The clearest and most succinct declara-
ton Of the dramatic unities was made by
Boileau when he laid down the law that a
tragedy must show lone action in one day
and in one place" It must deal with only
single story. and this obligation Is the
unity of action. It must never change
the scene. massing all it's episodes in a
single spot. and this is the unity of place
And 1T must compact its successive situa-
tons into the space of twenty-four hours
into single day. and this Is the unity Of
time.
When tragedy presents a simple and
straightforward story without change Of
scenery. and without any longer lapse of
time than single revolution of the sun,
tI.en and then only are the three unitfes
preserved as Boileau understood them.

it. His conception is inherently plastic
but his execution shows the refinement
gree, holding fast to tradition. he still
exercises the prerogative of independent
conviction-that is. he works out his own
problems In his own way. All this ap-
plies to the pediment for the House wing.
which represents, it will be remembered,
the people of the nation-farmers. me-
chanics miners and the like. Mr.. Bart
lett has made no pretense Of conforming
his composition to that Of the pediment
Of the Senate wing. believing that to do
so would have been both unnecessary and
undesirable.
The Senate pediment was produced in
the early days of American sculpture:
why, therefore. impede progress by re-
quiring compliance with its mode of de-
sign? And especially when the two pedi-
ments are too widely separated to be seen
at once, save at very distant range? Mr.
Bartlett has therefore grouped his fig
ureS, not single plane. but has so
arranged them that they build up to the
center naturally There is no feeling of
crampedness in the acute corners-no sug-
gestion of having been squeezed In to fit.
The model upon which Mr.. Bartlett is
now working is not quite full size, but
from 1t the figures will be cut in marble
In his studio at Eckington-a great
brick building just off the car line, re-
sembling warehouse but for its well
kept grounds and flower beds-Mr. Bart
lett has cast of his Lafayette statue in
Paris and the unfinished model of his
Mcclellan" for Philadelphia, as well as
models of two Of the figures he is doing
for the public library in New York. One
Of se-Philosophy-has recently been
cast in plaster and tried upon the build
ing experimentally, as by and by the fig
ures for the pediment probably will be
here. The other model upon which he is
still working is "History-Philosophy
Comrade." Both are figures of DID,
III
tined to fill an attic corner. They are at
the same time strong and beautiful fig
ures-very simple. very sculpturesque and
yet without elaboration of detail. They
are to be seen at height, and they give
the impression of being well fitted for the
place they will occupy. Broad In treat
ment. they are beautifully modelled and
very expressive.
