quak medicines. For some time past
an unusually large number of married
men have died of mysterious vast
ing disease, but hitherto there had
been no suspicion of poisoning.
A short time ago, however, when
Herr Josef Levai died his relatives
communicated with the police and de-
manded an autopsy. Distinct traces of
poison were revealed by the post NOR
TEN, and following further investiga-
tons Frau Levai, young woman, and
Frau Gerzan were arerstel.
The authorities ordered the exhuma-
ton of several bodies of men whose
deaths had been shrouded in mystery,
and in eight cases traces of the same
poison a preparation with copper as
its base-have been found. A search
in Frau Gerzan's house resulted in the
discovery of quantity of poison, but
the woman denies the charge and says
she used the poison for spraying vines

A MEAN MERCHANT.

b. There's a mean merchant in a town
out in the sixth district, and the local
newspaper tells us about him: "Dur-
ing the good times when everybody
had money this merchant quietly went
to work to collect a list of the pa.
irons of the mail order houses. He
used several methods to secure them
and succeeded in getting a pretty com
plete list, which he filed away for flu
ture reference. Now the crops are all
burned up out there, money scarce
and many people are needing credit
When a man steps into the store of
this man and asks for credit he hunts
up his list, and if the mans name is
there he tells him to go and ask for
credit where he spent his cash. The
revenge is tough, but really, can you
blame him much jackson News.

A WORD TO DEPOSITORS
in SAVINGS BANKS

There are many matters connected
with human sff airs that are beyond
human knowledge.
We know they exist, but why, ON
Impotence only understands.
But when it comes to cold-blooded,
everyday BUSINESS effairs like bank
ing, we find that given conditions GER
tainly produce their logical results.
Here is concrete illustration:
On the LIST day of July, 1907. the
Hyde Park Savings Bank bad depos-
its aggregating SS44, 1884. Four
years later, TO wit, on the LIST day of
July, 1911, those deposits had in
creased to S2.01S, 3O6.77 139 per cent,
or 81, ia, 14s. 43 gain in four years.
The first utters nee given to a state
ment Of this kind is, cit cannot be
! tue :"
The second is, "The growth is phe-
nomenal."
And then we say, at is simply
wonderful-how can it be?"
Figures do not lie and the cold facts
in the matter are that in the little vii
lage of Hyde Park with it's popula-
ton of only 423, there is a Savings
Bank which the people of Vermont
hold in such high esteem that for
four years the deposits therein have
exceeded the Withdrawals by between
5000 and $1,000 for every working day
in the four years. To be exact about
it, 1895 per working day.
What is the explanation?
Simply that the people of Vermont
have watched the growth of the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
i Company with unusual interest be-
cause of its management and it's
nethods of investments.
They have rot faile d to observe that
id its entire existence of more than.
twenty two years, the funds of the
bank have heen invested with such
excellent judgment and with such
painstaking care that the bank has a
re cord, probably unparalleled, of
never having lost dollar by poor
note.
The man or boy having money TO
deposit has simply said to himself,
1.-The very safest, the very strongest,
and the most conservative Savings
Bank management is none too good
for me, and if the four per cent inter-
est paid by the Hyde Park bark is
the highest rate of interest paid by
any Vermont bank, and if it is per-
fectly safe to send money by mail
ard the records show that not dol
kar CT deposits sent by mail to this
hank YVES ever lost,-why shouldn't
/ place my funds for investment ard
safe Peeping in the Byde Park
bark?n
The question is natural one End
the an swer follows as naturally as the
1iebtjtciIt ws The DAY.
Really there is rothirg mysterious
about this abnormal ara IheECme L a
growth.

Vermont Accused of Encouraging 1
Great inaustry.

An official statement issued by
Acting Director Faulkner Of the CEN
sus bureau, and based on tabular
summaries prepared under the direc-
tion of Dr. DeGrand Powers, chief
statistician for agriculture in the
same bureau contains depressing in
formation relative to the number of
sheep raised in Vermont and her sis
ter states in 1910. as compared with
the figures for 1900.
Vermont shows startling decrease
in the number of ol-producing sheep
in the past ten years, falling off from
1872. 167 in 1900 to "a, $50 in 1910, a
decrease of over So per cent.
1t is only too evident that the de-
crease in the number Of sheep raised
in this state is continuing at rapid
pace and but a comparatively few
years will see the industry wiped out.
says the Springfield Reporter. Since
writing the above editorial an account
has been received at this office of a
recent killing of Is sheep by two
dogs. One dog was killed and the
other, though wounded, escaped, and
will probably live to enjoy his pleas
ant pastime. The sheep were the
property of U. D. Whitcomb.
| Nice for the farmer, wasn't it?
A real pleasant place for the farmer
to live, where the laws of the state
afford no protection to the profitable
industry of raising sheep. To be
sure Mr.. Whitcomb will be paid by
the town for the estimated value u
his dead sheep, mice for the town..
But who is going to estimate and pa!
Mr.. Whitcomb for the value of tn.
sheep for raising purposes.
This state might as we'll go thu
limit in their brainless management
of an all important problem, AM
recompense the owners of dogs TO
their loss, when dear little Fido i
killed by an outraged farmer.
AS purely business proposition tn
manner in which the state of Yer
mont dlscourages great industry Xix
sheep raising and encourages do
raising, is we believe, without a par
allel in the annals of history. w
have sought diligently for a fitting an
sufficiently sarcastic comparison an
fail utterly to fl I'd one.

Olive, feeling sure that she had hit
the mark, fled, trembling to the op-
posite side of the room.
Instead of crashing headlong from
the trellis in a paroxysm of agony as
Olive fully expected, the intruder
made reckless leap into the room.
Though dazed with fright Olive
managed to turn on the light. Then
she stood at bay, wild-eyed and pant

Dut the stranger only uttered a
deep groan, and sank into a chair,
covering his face with his hands, and
swaying back and forth, apparently
in an extremity of anguish.
Olives eyes dilated with horror as
she took her first good look at the
bowed figure.
"Kenton!" she whispered.

ooh, Kenton," walled Olive wildly.
Have l blinded you? Why did you
climb up here?"

mine, as you ought to know for your
SELF" Kenton Dudley replied, his
speech punctuated with dismal groans.
Il often run out here and spend a
night with them. l never thought of

but l supposed you had gone with
them. I had no latch key, and arous-

gasped Olive in an agonized tone. II
mistook you for burglar"
'Ill forgive you On one condition.
that you reconsider a certain deci-
sion," he said. 81 guess you know what
mean"
Olives eyes flashed.
"Oh, Kenton,' she faltered, her
voice growing fainter. Tive been sor-
ry about that ever since. Tll-fn be
eyes for you"
Kenton's hands came down from be-
:
Olive in a close embrace.
'Be the delight of my eyes instead,
he cried with laugh of triumph, and
not a trace of shame at deception in
his voice
| Olive tried to draw away from him
J "Kenton Dudley you were just max

She never can hit anything. But yol

Just then the chugging of motto
