An AGED Postmaster

Bondvile, village in the town of
Winhall, county of Bennington, state of
Vermont, does not stand out in bold re-
lief on the map, but it would be marked
No. among 65,15s postoffices in the
United States, if the officers were rated
from the seniority rankings of the post
masters.
Chester Benson Williams, who has
the remarkable distinction of being the
oldest postmaster in the United States,
and probably the Oldest official of the
government in years of continuous serv-
ice, is not an extremely old man, as
years are ordinarily counted, but he had
the advantage in gaining his record by
receiving his commission as postmaster
but little more than two weeks after he
attained his minority, and his service
from that time has been un broken.
His commission bears the date Deem
Der 10, 1851, and is signed by Nathan K.
Hall, who was postmaster genera in the
cabinet of President Willard Fillmore.
1t will thus be seen that Mr.. Williams
has completed SO years in the service of
Uncle Sam and is well started on his 59th
year.

Saw his Picture in Scotia d :.

Sidney j. Sumner, steward of the
steamer Vermont of the Lake Champlain
Transportation Co., made trip to Scot
land after navigation closed last fall.
When in Edinboro he wrote letter to
M anager Daniel A. Loomis recounting
along some of his experiences, one Incl
dent of which will be of general interest.
MIR. Sumner attended a public lecture
one evening in the celebrated Scottish
city, given by a professor who had been
touring in the United States. The title
of the lecture was: Under Western
SHES" The lecturer described many of
the interesting places he had visited in
this country, illustrating his remarks
with stereopticon pictures. Mr.. Sumner
was greatly interested in the lecturers
accounts of his travels in the great west
and the inspiring views that were thrown
on the big canvass in front of him.
He had difficulty however in smother
ing the regular Vermont yell when he
saw in front of him picture of good old
Lake Champlain with the well known
steamer Vermont looking almost as big
as life. On the deck he plainly recog-
nized Captain E. X. Rockwell, Purser
Joseph Mooney. himself, (Sumner) and
Mrs. Sumner, who serves with with as
stewardness.
Sumner recognized the picture as one
taken some time ago by Miss Esbury,
now of Plattsburg, who formerly was
employed on the boat. How it got into
the hands of the lecturer he was at a loss
to explain as it was taken for private
purposes. 1T certainly did look good to
me-" wrote Sumner in his account of the
incident which Illustrates again how
small the big world really is.

A BIT Of ADVICE
First-DOn't Delay. Second
Don't Experim

If you suffer from backache; head
aches Or dizzy spells; if you rest poorly
and are anguid in the morning; if the
kidney secretions are irregular and I'M
natural in appearance, do not delay.
The kidneys are calling for help.
Slight symptoms of kidney trouble are
but fore runners of more serious com
plants. They should be given attention
before it is too late.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney
trouble. They are recommended by
thousands. Can Middlebury residents
desire more convincing proof than the
statement of a Mddlebury citizen who
SAYS that the cure Doan's Kidney Pills
effected years ago has proven perman-
ent?
Mrs Frank Trudo, 43 Washington
Street, Mlddlebury, w., says: The pub
lie statement | gave in praise of Doan's
Kidney Pills some years ago still holds
good. They gave me lasting relief from
kidney trouble and l therefore have no
hesitation in allowing the continued pub

Missing Baker Found in New
York,

Joseph Walzaak. Who has conducted
a bakery in West Rutland for the last
three years and who disappeared several
weeks ago, has been found il a hos
pital in New York city, with his mind
unbalanced. Walzaak came to West
Rutland about three years ago and, in
company with Thomas Pensick, opened
bakery. Walzaak later bought out the
interest of Pensick, and continued the
business alone.
For several months he has acted
stra NICELY at times and it is thought that
over work is responsible for his mental
condition. He had a large trade and
sold nearly 400 loaves of bread a day.
doing all the baking himself, the work of
at least two men.
At the time of his disappearance he
had at the railroad station half car of
-four and this has been placed in the
store room at the bakery and the build
ing locked up. 1t is not known at pres
ent what disposition will be made of the
property.

Horses in Water Saved by Quick
Wit.

Charles H. Baraw, who is cutting ice
in a pond in Chelsea, had a narrow
escape from losing one of his teams last
week. The team was nearly loaded
with ice cakes when the horses in some
manner caught the reins and began to
bac k Before they could be stopped
they had backed the load over the edge
of the ice and into the water which was
about II Get deep at this point. The
load took the horses right along with it
and they were completely in the icy wa
ter.
The gang of help stood and shouted
for about a minute, then rushed to the
assistance of the drowning animals
Their heads were pulled out of the wa
ter, rope was placed around their necks
choking them so they could not breathe,
when they floated to the surface and
were pulled ashore on the ice. The
horses were hustled to the livery stable,
given a dose of hot tonic, rubbed dry
and covered with blankets.
They came out all right the next morn
ing and went to work as usual, but it
was a close call and 1t is said their rescue
was due to the promptness of Fred Shar-
key, one of the men working on the
pond, who held their heads above the
water and placed the rope around their
necks to stop their breathing, making il
possible to pull them out.
