One Gain, ANYWAY.

Unlawful liquor selling in Putney
must be rather Improbable. Tween
ty.three hundred dollars In fine for
three men to pay must knock quite
hole in the profits. These men are
deserving of no sympathy, however,
as they chose to take the risk, and
were not ignorant OF the liquor Law"
Londonderry Sitter
The contemporary has presented
the general sentiment of the state sue
cinctly and we'll And it illustrates
what change for the better eight
years of the local option liquor law
have wrought In former days, the
prohibitory law was dead letter and
most communities winked at the Illicit
selling of liquor when it was done by
so-called trustworthy men so long as
they used some discretion in conduct
ing their contraband business. So
when one of these violators of the law
was occasionally prosecuted for out
ward show land inward revenue),
there was a very well defined popular
feeling that the officers should not be
too hard on him, should not turn
prosecution into persecution and all
that kind of thing. Why? Because
the greater part of the best citizens
we're. in q moral sense, at least, parti-
ceps criminis. They were and long
had been conniving at this Illicit sale
and protecting this Illicit seller And
it was rather against true sporting
blood OF manly love Of fair play, call 1t
what you will, to ask mai to break
the law for your convenience and in
dulgence, and then give him over to
the police.
Today? Well, do you hear of pub
lie sentiment inclining to be lenient
toward lawbreakers under local option
that is, of course, as a general thing?
To be sure, there are men and there
are communities that rather tend to
be hyprocritical under this law as they
were under the old law, and that vote
mo" with SNUG pretense of hly-white
morality and still wink at some safe
man or men as they quietly come to
the relief of thirsty souls on occasion
equally safe. But, taking the state by
and large, does not The Sitter express
the sentiment of pretty much all the
communities in regard to Illicit sell
ing? Do we hear of anybody trying
to arouse much sympathy for the
prosecuted law violator today? Not
much.
Discuss the liquor problem as we
may. argue for this or that law as
the most practical agency for practi-
cal temperance reform, we must adj
NIT that under local option we have
made at least one gain over prohibi-
tfon-we are more honest in the en-
forcement of the statute, more honest

The Vermont colleges are rising to
a level with their sister institutions
in the athletics. The Norwich univer-
sity baseball team this year has play
ed some highly creditable games in its
trips away from home and only last
week Vermont shut out Dartmouth by
a score of 10 to 0. AT the New Eng
land Intercollegiate athletic meet
ing at Springfield Saturday the indivi.
dual star was Gutterson, a Vermont
university man who scored ~ points
for his college and established a new
record in one event, the low hurdle
race. The Middlebury college team
this year, now that 1t no longer has
the assistance of Ray Fisher, the star
pitcher of two years ago, is not TAX
ing such a spectacular part on the dfa-
mond but its record has been good
one thus far The writer well remem-
bers the days when Vermont universe
ty students were satisfied If their
team put a single runner across the
plate in a baseball game with Dart
mouth, when the New Hampshire
boys rolled up scores OF SO to 0 on
the campus in the rear of the "old
mill" at football and when the track
athletes sent to the big meets never
made place in the semi-fnals. Abil-
ity to hold their own in the field of
athletics has raised the Vermont col
leges to 2 higher estimation in the
minds of the young men of the state
who intend to take higher courses Of
education after leaving the public
schools and the result has been an in
creased number of students and con
sequent general prosperity.

for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done

ever produced such convincing proof
of merit.
John Grennan, III Putnam Street,
Bennington VT, says: Il suffered for
a long time from pains in my back,
caused by disordered kidneys. used
many remedies, but continued to grow
worse. Finally Doans Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention and
procured supply. In short time
was benefited so greatly by them that
! continued their use and by the time
| had taken the contents of two boxes
was free from kidney trouble"

incident OF this trait.
While fighting at Magersfontein a

distance Of the trench wherein the
Beers we're concealed. They then
sprang out, calling Hands upV'

preached them, scratched bis head In
perplexity and said to his friends,

consultation they allowed the high
landers to return to their column.
When the young Beers arrived at
the Boer lager, laden with the cap
tured rifles, their general asked them
why they did not bring their prisoners
The youths looked at each other. and
one Of them sheepishly replied:

It was not the lads. however, who
always made the mistakes. One old
BOer, on viewing for the first time a
