The New Hampshire legislature, which
came to an end Saturday, made record
that should stand as a potent advertise
ment of the states progress. The house of
representatives fulfilled every pledge that
it's members made to the people of the
state, while the senate responded in all
but two cases, killing the federal income
tax ratification bill and that providing for
direct election of delegates to the national
convention The complicated question of
freight rates was settled in a way that pro-
tected the peoples interests and yet was
fair to the railroads. A public service
commission with ample authority was ere
ated, likewise a commission to equalize tax
valuations. Other wise laws provide for
publicity of campaign expenses, prevention

A novel contrivance for hiding liq'
uor was discovered in 81 .lohnsbury
pool room Saturday by officers who
raided the place. The proprietor
/ Joseph Legendre, was away and his
clerk was arrested. On the back Of 4
iost supporting long counter was
found small recess in which was
tucked a very small faucet attached to
an eight-inch rubber tube. When the
state attorney Intercepted the clerk
as to the use of the cOntriVance, the
reply cody came. cit is for gasoline.
1t was found that the post contained
small conduit which led to a tank.
The tank ran the whole length of the
counter and was ingeniously set in n
hollow timber, which gave the appear
ance of being solid. Underneath Il
cigar machine at one end of the counter
was found the place to replcnish the
tank. Several gallons of pure alcohol
were secreted there. This, reduced with
two parts aqua pura, made the drink
for which Legendre became locally
famous. The officers then repaired to
the storeroom in back, where by tap
ping on the wall the "Santa Claus
brick was discovered. Here were found
nearly 100 pints of whisky.
James Sinner escaped from the house
urday night by climbing over the roof
of the marble shed, and no clew as to
his whereabouts has been discovered.
Sinner was committed June Z, 1910,
from Montpelier for attempted burg
larry and has been regarded to a certain
extent as "trustv.' Sinner s employ
ment was in the bakery, of which he
had charge. 1t was his duty to report
to an officer at 7 O'Clock and this he
did Saturday evening, as usual, but
was allowed to return to the bakery.
About 5 O'Clock the night officers
missed him. and upon searching for him
found he had escaped.

AS 1t Should Be.

The trout fishing season opened Saturday
with results that Justify the new law. The
weather and the streams were entirely un
suitable for fishing, the number Of fisher
men out was much less than usual and the
catches were so small as to be hardly worth
mentioning. For the first time in years
we have gotten past an opening Of the
trout fishing season without the streams
being mobbed and skinned the first day.
The fishing will now open up gradually as
the weather and the streams permit. There
viii be no mad rush at one time and the
trout will be conserved and the pleasure
and benefit from the sport increased The
present law should have been enacted long
ago

For the Women to Think About

Bingham is good, and the two look well
when used together on different pillows
on the same couch There are, of course,
many designs, especially among the ex-
pensve gnghams, which would not be at
all effective for pillow covers, but the
checks, polka dots, simple stripes and plain
ginghams are always pretty sure to turn
out well. Some of these pillows are fin

they are quite as attractive without any

his daughter was gone. Losing his
patience Castell took with him the

started in search of the girl. He found
her,a friend, and Barker and another
lad. at the union station. In the semi
darkness Of the platform Castell took
crack with the whip at Barker, who
lodged, and ran and then told the Of
