caught the largest trout taken from

Bert Shipley and VIM. Tiller, drove
over to Mcpherson creek Saturday

hole all of the balance of the day.
Toward evening he got a bite and
after a struggle lasting several
minutes but seeming like a week he
tired out and landed his trout, which
measured 81 inches and weighed three
pounds. 1t was photographed by K.
F. Orion and on Sunday furnished
the piece de resistance for family
dinner for eight people.

also paid loving tribute to bis worth.
To recount the record or write more
of these noble traits would be but q
repetition of that which has already
been truly said. Only good things are

should close before the accomplish

VANDALISM MUST CEASE
IN THE GLENN PARK
ThoughtIess Persons Have Created Much
Dissatisfaction by Mutilating The
Natural Scenery.

The beautiful park adjacent to the
confluence of the Wisconsin and
Mississippi rivers, in the town of
Wyalusing. this county, mainly owned
by Elk Sheriff Robert Glenn, and the
purchase of which for a state park is
now under consideration by the state,
is most delighted and slightly place,
offering some of the most magnificent
views to he obtained anywhere along
the Mississippi. Hundreds go there
every year to admire the beautiful
scenery and enjoy a picnic dinner in
the woods on the bluffs.
Such persons have always been made
welcome by Mr.. Glenn. There is
another class. with more muscle than
sense, who never can resist showing
off and committing some depreda-
tions at such times and places, and
they have so conducted themselves as
to make necessary the posting of a
warning, which has also been sent
to The Herald for publication.
Everybody should take an interest
in jealousy protecting the natural
beauties of the park and render all the
assistance they can to that end. Fol
lowing is Mr.. Glenn's warning:
Glenn Park Reservation, Wyalns-
ing, Wis.,. May 18th, 1910. Owing to
the number of people that are taking
their outings on these premises it is
necessary to observe the following /:
The defacing of property by cutting
or peeling the bark from trees, loosen
ing of rocks and throwing or rolling
them over cliffs or down hills; the
discharging OF fire arms; painting
on the rocks or placing and putting up
of any signs, opening of fences and
lnolesting stock, driving across fields
or meadows is forbidden. Parties
wishing to/enter the park with teams
must come by the road leading past
the residence. Those coming to en-
JOY the scenic and other interesting
features are welcome. The few whose
only enjoyment is indefacing or mutt
lating, thus destroying the pleaures of
others, must find their entertainment
elsewhere. ROBT. GLENN,
Proprietor

Picnic.

Last Saturday morning at about
half past FIVE, the boys of the ninth
grade started for Potosi. Everyone
was in the best of spirits and energy
was so abundant that some of the boys
walked good part of the distance.
1t began to rain on the way but the
journey was continued and dinner was
eaten in house boat, at about eleven,
in the midst Of heavy rain.
The weather cleared at about noon
and the afternoon was spent in boat
ing. running, fishing and other lively
sports so that by five o'clock every
one was ready to start for home. The
drive home took six hours it rained
nearly all the way but in spite Of
this it would be difficult to find a
merrier crowd. Those present were:
John Watkins Otto Berndt. Will
Mccoy, Henry Belscamper. Ned Ellis,
Burnell Oates, Burdette Weber, Clay
Halferty, Evans Stone, Floyd Bells
camper, Edward Harcleroad. Allen
Hyde. Lloyd Garner, and Mr.. Livlngs-
ton.

young feet. That he 'builded better
than he knew" was evidenced by the
sympathy and sorrow that found ex-
preston in many proffers of help, in
many acts of kindness during his i'll
ness, and in the large concourse of
friends that paid the last tribute Of
respect TO his memory, and manifested
so deep a sympathy for the sorrowing
relatives The little wife-bride of
less than two years-was kept brave
through all the trying months of ILL
ness by the courage and the hope of
her husband. So kind and gentle he
had always been. so helpful and so
pleasant in all his ways.
Their pretty home was an abode of
perfect contentment and joy until the
shadow of parting crept in. They
hoped until there was no hope. And
even unto the end the young husband
and wife impaired courage each to the
other.
why fear the path of grief to tread.
Why, Father, shrink from thy decree,
If thus my erring soul be led
A safer, shorter way to Thee"
Now in the pretty home-nest, so
happily builded SO early desolated,
the darkest days have come as they
come to all who listen in vain for
foot steps that now walk the earth no
more, and whose heart break with the
yearding for
THE touch of vanished hand
And the sound of voice that is still,
Can we wonder that her mind only
dwells now in the dim vistas of the
memory of days that are dead Z But
she cannot mourn as those who will
not be comforted. That last night
when "Sammie'' would have none
but the faithful beloved wife and his
father to watch with him, she found
grace for the days Of her bereavement
in the blessed assurance that he felt
of reunion in fairer cline. Though
for him the sun went down in the
beauty and freshness of the morning,
His was a we'll spent life, and those
who knew him we'll are the better for
his living.
1--WE shall reach the summer land,
Some sweet day, bye and bye;
We shall press that golden strand,
Some sweet Gay, bye and bye;
o, the loved ones watching there,
BY the tree of life so fair,
Till we come their joys to share,
Some sweet day, bye and bye.
At the crystal rivers brink,
Some sweet day, bye and bye;
We shall find the missing link.
Some sweet day. bye and bye;
Then the star that fading here.
Left our hearts and homes so drear,
We shall see more bright and clear,
Some sweet day, bye and bye.
o, these parting scenes shall end.
Some sweet day. bye bye;
We shall gather friend with friend,
Some sweet day, bye and bye;
There before our Fathers throne.
When the miStS and flowers have flown.
We shall know as we are known,
Some sweet day, bye and bye.

The vermonter's Opportunity

The advice given by Governor
Prouty of Vermont at the annual din
ner of the Brooklyn Society of Yer
monters deserves TO be needed by the
people of that commonwealth and the
other New England states as we'll
The governor declared it was the
duty of Vermonters to teach their
sons to remain at home and that
parents should qualify their children
to make use of the natural resources
of their native state, so that it would
be unnecessary for them to go TO the
large cities of the country to make
their living Especially is it the du'
ty of Vermonters. he said to instruct
boys in the art of farming since the
Green Mountain state must always
be mainly an agricultural state. In
refuting the statement that there is
no profit in farming, he referred to
one farmer who made $4,000 last
year by raising apples. The COVER
nor's remarks were ably supplement
ted by an address by President Tho
mas of Middlebury college who is do
ing much in the way to promote the
advancement of that commonwealth.
It is to be hoped that the younger
generation of Vermonters Will give
heed to the advice uttered by such
men. Too long has 1t been the Gus
tom Of Vermont youth to seek their
fortune beyond the confines of their
native state .and beyond the borders
of New England 1t is time that the
advantages that lie on its hillsides and
in It's beautiful valleys were better APP
precated. If the part which Yer
monters have sustained in building
up other states from Massachusetts, to
California, we're definitely known the
showing no doubt would be surpris-
ing. Every American city is the bet
ter for its admixture of Vermont
blood and Springfield among others,
is proud of its nourishing society Of

Beef in Bennington costs $3.50
more per hunderd than it did a week
ago This is the message of the beef

trust dare do it If it didn't feel sure
that it can control congress to the ex-
tent of saving itself from any serious
injury. Don't you think it is about
time some new blood is sent to CON
gress in place Of the allies of the
trust now disappearing the people
there? Don't lay it all to the trust
either Meat prices are high owing
to strictly natural causes The con
sumption Of meat has increased while
its production has decreased. This
alone would make meat high, but
when we have to pay this increased
natural cost and in addition the laws
of the land allow the beef trust to
make a profit Of hundred millions Of
dollars year. then We ought to begin
to sit up and take notice. The natur-
al increase we cant help, the addit.

SUNDAY BASE BALL

The Banner does not agree with
Rev. G. S. Mills in his opposition TO
Sunday base ball as expressed in his
letter yesterday.
We do not believe there is any
thing in the life, teachings or exam
pie of Christ which forbids a man TO
use Sunday afternoon in honest, out
door recreation after working hard
all the week as he is obliged to in
order to support his family.
1t is evident to anybody who has
looked the situation over that the
great majority of the people are in
favor of Sunday base ball and that
only a small minority opposes it.
Some of those who oppose it are
among our best people but are they
so much better than the rest of us
that their judgment should outweigh
that of the tremendously greater
number on the other side.
True there is sometimes betting
and disorderly conduct even at base
ball game, whether it is on Sunday
or any other day but because one
man does a wrong and foolish thing
should ninety-nine other men who do
no wrong be robbed of brief, heal
thy outing. Wouldn't the common
sense way be TO punish the one and
not the ninety-nine?
One thing more. Sunday base ball
in Bennington keeps a good many
boys and young men from patroniz-
ing Walloomsac and Hoosick dives on
Sundays. Even if an evil, we would
of the two choose the base ball in
stead of the dives,
Lastly, Bishop Hall and other stu
dents of the Christian religion have
shown us that the strict New Eng.
land Sabbath has been folsted on us
as a relic of Puritanism and that it
was not an original teaching or doc
trine of the Christian church Has
MT the public a right to accept their
view if the public chooses?

that old quackS often reach twelve
and are great layers, he said, THAT
settles it, III git rid Of mine and raise
Pekins"
We took a picture Of two Of his
quacks TO show the usual farm duck
which many farmers raise when they
might breed the big profit payers.
The two just weighed seven pounds
and this isn't much for adult ducks.
Let the farmers quit raising little
fishy favored puddle ducks and take
up the big Aylesbury or Pekin.
The Pekin is the better. as it grows
quicker, is the popular yellow, has a
finer grain and flavor and Dicks easier.
