The Ladies' Ministries

Because of the Christmas rush last
week the following item was overlo oked:-
The Ladies' Minstrel show, given for
the benefit of Coral Chapter, o. E. s.,
under the able direction of Mrs. lila Niles
Jackson, was complete success, playing
to full houses Thursday and Friday even
ings. Dec. Is and 16. Much credit is due
the cast for their fine makeup, their
negro dialect and in the way in which
their rag-time melodies were rendered.
The ladies of the Eastern Star are to be
congratulated on the success Of the event,
which adds good sum to their excheq-
uer. 1t also again proves that for firstclass
local entertainments Morrisville is well
supplied with talent that has few equals.
After the show music was furnished
for dancing by G. A. Gile, cornetist;
w. M. Paul, violinist and Mrs. Ida
Churchill, pianist.

Leapino Treason.

King William III. of England was
passionately fond of the chase and
made it point never to be outdone in
any leap, however perilous. A Mr.
Cherry, who was devoted to the exiled
family. took advantage of this to plan
the most pardonable design which was
ever formed against kings life. He
regularly Joined the royal hounds, put
himself foremost and took the most
desperate leaps in the hope that Will
liam might break his neck in following
him. One day, however. he accom-
plished one so imminently dangerous
that the king when he came to the
spot shook his head and drew back.
1t is said that Mr.. Cherry at length
broke his own neck and thereby re-
lieved the king from further hazard.

the following prescription: Take

blood, of each half an one; linseed
oyle, twenty-five one; oyle of roses,
bolearminick, of each an ono. Bet
them together in a mortar till 1t be

was the weapon with which a man
had been stricken. This he anointed
with the ointment, pressed to the
wound and was well again.

The News and Citizen states that new

There is considerable truth in the point
made that the farmers daughters who in
the main take up the normal school
studies cannot afford to go to the larger
communities for their education. With the
present low wages paid to Vermont
teachers the state is bound to make the

COLLECT PINE SEED.
This is Seed Year In Vermont and VIII
Not Come AGAIN for Several Years.


The increased interest in forestry in
Vermont and all other parts of the coun-
try has created an active demand for seed
Of the common white pine. This natures
an abundant crop of seed only once in
three or four years, and when a seed
year comes the crop must be harvested
or one must wait another period of years
This year, 1910 Is a seed year in YER
mont. Requests are coming to the for
estry department of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Burlington from par
ties, both within the state and outside
who wish to purchase pine seed. The
seeds of the pine are inclosed between the
scales in the green cones. AS these cones
dry and turn brown the seeds fall out. To
secure the seed the green cones must be
gathered before they open. Usually they
begin to open about September 10 or 20.
So any collections of the present crop
must be made at once. These green cones
may now be seen clinging to the tips of
the branches at or near the top of the
older trees. 1t is easy to collect them
where such trees are being cut down.
More usually they are gotten by climb
ing the trees and with a garden rake
pulling off the cones or breaking off the
young twigs bearing the cones. These
young cones may then be gathered into
baskets or sacks and spread in a layer
not over three inches deep on a clean dry
barn floor or similar place under cover
to dry, stirring occasionally If need be to
insure more rapid drying. If there is a
stove in the room the process is much
fastened. As the scales open many of
the seeds rattle out. and a little failing
brings out the rest. Each seed has a
wing. When this is rubbed off and the
seeds screened and winnowed each seed
is about the size of a large kernel Of
wheat. Each bushel of cones will yield
about a pound or somewhat less of such
clean seed. The market price of seed
this year has not been announced, but 1t
is sure to be high enough to pay well for
collecting.
The state nursery, which is situated at
the experiment station, will need some
seed for its use and distribution each
year. Owners of waste land which could
profitably be reforested ought If practi-
cable to collect seed for growing their
own Seeding trees and as before stated
requests have been received from those
outside OF the state, who wish to purchase
Vermont seeds. Any one who can collect
seed, therefore, and wishes to dispose of
it, or who wishes further advice in the
matter should at once address the Yer
mont State Forest Nursery, Experiment
Station, Burlington, VT.

HORSE THIEF IN eUILFoRD.
Clifford Durant Arrested In Rye, N.
", Exchanged Wagons with Herbert
Jacobs,

~ ENSndH9Su Wd9onS Wltn F1eTpeTt
Jacobs.
The horse thief, who made a sensa tional
trip through parts of Massachusetts, into
Vermont, through Connecticut and into
New York state recently was captured
Thursday of last week in Rye, N. Y. He
gave his name as G. w. Gates, but the
police learned that his real name was
Clifford Durant and that he escaped re-
Gently from the house of correction at
Rutland where he was serving a sentence
for forgery. Evidently Vermont had at
fractions for the man as he drove the
FIRST team which he stole, n livery team
In Winchendon Mass, back into this
state. He was headed toward Brattle-
boro, but he appeared to change his
mind when he reached Herbert Jacobss
farm in Guiford. He stopped there and
snapped his buggy for a light Concord
wagon, giving as his reason that he was
in the cattle business and needed team
that could carry a calf or two when nee
essary. According to the police officials
who arrested him the man exchanged
this team for another horse and buggy
before he left Vermont, receiving S15 as
boot. This team he appears to have
driven to Holyoke and sold outright. His
next move was to Springfield where he
hired a team from V. NJ. Frost's livery
and drove 1t to Thompsonville, where he
left It and hired another at a stable. He
drove his team through Connecticut and
had it with him when arrested. The
rightful owner of the buggy left at Mr.
Jacebss place appeared Saturday and
claimed his vehicle. 1t is probable that
when the Massachusetts state police I'M
ravel all the affairs of Durant that Mr.
Jacobss wagon will be located and re-
turned to him. The state police were at
Mr. Jacobs's place the last of the week
on the trail of the fugitive. Chief of
Police George Wilson was notified by the
police departments in Winchendon and
in Thompsonvile. Conn, to be on the
lookout for the thief here.

THE NEXT VERMONT SENATE.

Vermont is so strongly Republican that
as a rule the candidates whom the Repub-
licans nominate for the upper branch OF
the Legislature may safely be put down as
constituting the Senate in the following
October. Last year, for example, this
rule held good, the only exceptions being
in the case OF Senator Kennedy OF Chit
tenden county and Senator Wright of
Grand Isle county. Judging from all ac-
counts these two counties will elect Re-
publican senators this year, and it would
not be strange If the coming Senate, like
so many of its predecessors, was solidly
Republican, II this should prove to be
the case, then the following Republicans,
who have been nominated in their re-
spective counties, would form the next
Senate:

bank in Biddeford, Maine, were closed
Saturday. On Wednesday, while w b.

investigating the accounts of the institu-
ton Richard II. Ingersoll, the treasurer,
was taken suddenly i'll from the effects OF

that Ingersoll, who has held his position
30 years, made false entries 25 years ago
TO conceal poor investments i'm western
securities, and that he continued his
falsifcations through all these years
without detection, each year getting
deeper in the muddle Of false figures. The
bank officials are of the opinion that
lngersoll did not personally profit by the
manipulation Of the figures.

New Tariff As a Revenue Producer.

The Payne-Aldrich tariff was one year
old Aug 6. A statement made by the
treasury at Washington shows that for
the first full year under this new revenue
law the total receipts of the government
were as follows:

Internal revenue, ordinary .... 21' 100 l42. 10
Corporation tax ................ q, $50 934. IS
Miscellaneous ................. 81, 1852, 331. 60
Total S67S, $50 616,01
The total ordinary disbursements for
the same period were $65s, 1856 1902 max
ing the surplus of ordinary receipts over
ordinary expenditures under the first full
year of the new law 500, 2l4, 02S99. With
out the corporation tax the deficit for the
year would have been S7,OOOOOO.
The amount collected under the new
tariff law in its first year exceeds by $751;
900 900 the sum collected in any year in
the country's history except 1907, and the
record of that year was passed by $15,-
