COULDN'T FIND HER HOME
Little Girl so Frightened She
Couldn't Tell Her Name.


Officer Richard Hurley, while driv-
ing on Gage street Friday afternoon
came upon a little girl about four
years OF age who had evidently stray
ed from home. The child was crying
md screaming and so frightened that
sha was unable to give any informa
ton concerning herself. The officer
ook her into his delivery wagon and
drove from Mill street to Beech
street. endeayoring while on the way
to calm the agitation OF the child so
hat she might recognize her home.
The little girl at last sufficiently re-
covered from her fright to say that
her name was Florence Williams and
he found that her parents we're Mr.
and Mrs H. l.. Williams who live
aear SCOTS machine shop on Gage
street.

Have you seen in the newspapers

The attention OF the temperance
members Of the House is respectfully
called TO Mr. Howes record on the
saloon question.

favors Open Sunday.

Thlrd-Open saloons are soon fol.
lowed by open Sunday and a general
desecration OF the Sabbath day, and
Mr.. Howe has reached that stage,
and his paper advocates Sunday base
ball. in spite Of the most earnest pro
test OF the churches OF his town.
Fourth-Mr. Howe promotes the
sale OF whlskey both IN his wet"
town and in all the dry towns Of
his county by carrying ads for 1t in
his paper.
Chiefly for the above reasons, al
though Bennington is strongly Repub-
lican, giving Governor Prouty ma
lority of 5S7 over the Democratic can
didate for governor In 1908, many Of
the best Republicans bolted Howe for
Representative, and he secured bare
majority OF II.
DO you think Mr. Howe Is likely to
appoint n real temperance commit
tee?
We take Il that Mr.. Howe is will
ing to stand on his record. But wheth-
er he is or not Il is our business to
give Il when we think II stands in
the way OF temperance progress.
Knowing his record the Legislators
will be able to decide for themselves
what to do.

Speaker Howe did as we prophes-

ter his own heart. every member OF
which was at least local optionlst
and some OF whom were believers In
the open saloon itself. To be To-
cal optionist Is no disgrace OF dis
honor but to be saloonist In our
estimation Is quite n different thing.
Strange as Il may seem, notwith-
standing prohibitlonlsts by the thous.

JUST TEN KINDS OF MONEY
Uncle Sam Officially Has This Num-
Der, but Not All of These Are
Legal Tender.

There are just 10 kinds of money in
circulation in the United States. that
is officially. These are: Gold coins.
standard silver dollars. subsidiary sill
yer, gold certificates, silver certificates.
treasury notes 1S9O), United States
notes (greenbacks). national bank
notes, nickel coins and bronze coins.
Some of the most imposing of this
paper currency is not legal tender
at all, while as to the minor coins they
are legal tender in such small amounts
as to startle the average layman. 1t
may be well to recall to this layman
that the term legal tender" owes its
significance to the fact that in pay
ment of debt or obligation of any kind
it can be forced upon the creditor "in
full of all demands" Looking upon
this formidable classification of United
States money as made by the treasury
department, it becomes more formid:
able when 1t is considered from the
highly technical point of view as
legal tender.
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes, of which
SUCH SuOILuOuS uuuUtTS ClICuidlo
everywhere, are not legal tender. If
you have plenty Of money, and if you
have forced Jones to sue you in order
to get judgment, Jones can turn down
every one of these bills rendered in
payment and force you to dig up
something better.
Should Jones do such a thing, you
might conceive the idea Of fixing him
by unloading a whole lot of silver
coins upon him. But you want to
know what you're doing there, too. for
he'll take only $40 worth of halves.
quarters and dimes. while as to nickels
and copper cents, only 25 cents value
is legal tender.
But as to the standard silver dollar,
there's no limit upon your shoveling
them out to Jones. This old dollar of
our dads" still is the real thing in all
business transactions unless some
clause in a contract has provided
otherwise. Jones may refuse the sill
yer certificate. but when you dig up
the metal dollar, they go unquestioned
at their face value. And 1000 of them
weigh 1892 pounds.

ADOPT POST INTEREST PLAN
viii Be Payable Once . Year, Say
Trustees Who Meet at the
Capital.

At a meeting In Washington of the
board of trustees of the postal saw
ings system the plan for the
computation Of interest on deposits,
which has been under consideration.
was adopted. Under the interpreta-
tion Of the act agreed on by the board
interest on deposits will be payable
only once a year. No interest on an
original deposit will be payable until
the first twelve months have elapsed.
1t was evidently the purpose Of the
net, 1t is thus construed. to encourage
depositors to leave their money on de-
posit for considerable period, thus
inducing the saving habit.
In order to simplify the accounting
in computing interest. the board
adopted a resolution providing that In
terest shall be allowed only from the
first day Of the month following date
OF deposit. For the convenience Of
depositors there will be on each Ger.
tificate Of deposit an interest table
that will show the amount Of interest
to which the holder Is entitled at any
given period.

HARD TO GET ARMY HORSES
Quartermasters Engaged In Purchase
Report Scarcity In All Parts
Of the Country.

Quartermasters engaged in the pur-
chase of horses for the United States
army again report to the war depart
ment a scarcity in all parts of the
country Of horses suitable for the
mounted service. This condition Is
believed to be the result Of the dis
continuance Of the breeding Of we'll
bred horses Of the type required for
military purposes. This important
question was taken up some time ago
by the war department and the depart
ment Of agriculture. and what Is now
believed to be an excellent and feas-
ible plan has been devised for the
breeding of suitable horses. Oficers
Of the army are confident that satis-
factory results will be secured from It,
and that in the course of few years
the scarcity of proper animals for the
cavalry. artillery, ETC.. will have been
met successfully. This is a subject
which has occupied the attention Of
the ministries Of war Of France. Eng
lang. Germany, Italy. Russia and
japan for some years past. Great
Britain appears to be setting the pace
for foreign nations In this important
particular. for she has now In sue
cessful working order several excel.
lent horse breeding establishments un.
der competent military veterinarians.

GAINS WASHINGTON PICTURE
Museum Gets Portrait Believed to
Have Been Ono Of Two Paint r.
ed by Stewart.

A lifesize painting Of George Wash
ington, which has adorned the recep-
tion room Of the Secretary Of the In
terror in Washington. has been turned
over to the national museum. The
picture is supposed to be one of two
painted by Stewart.
A former historian of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution, now
dead. identified the picture as a gen.
uine Stewart by the peculiar grade
OF canvas on which 1t was painted"
How the picture came to the Inte-
rior Department the ofYicials are un-
able to say. 1t was found in the model
room Of the patent once some years
ago in dilapidated condition, but
after much brushing and cleaning
was made presentable.
Some Of the ofIicials believe the pic
ture came with other relics taken
from the Lee mansion at Arlington

lieutenant general in the Prussian
army during the Seven Years waar.
He came to America on his own re-
sponsibility and spent his fortune In
making soldiers out OF the -coloalsts
Of New York. who had left the city for
New Jersey after the victories OF Lord
CORVALLIS had given possession of the
metropolis to the British. His man
ual Of instruction for the army was
adopted by congress in 1779. He in
troduced the strfctest discipline, a
change greatly needed by the army,
and which contributed to its ultimate
success. He served throughout the
war. and his conduct was marked by
the utmost valor. He frequently
shared his last dollar with the suf-
fering soldiers. as he often did his
clothing and camp equipments also.
At the close Of the war the state of
New Jersey gave him a farm. New
York state gave him 10000 acres Of
wild land in Oneida county, and the
government granted him an annuity
Of $4,000. He distributed his lands
among his aids, his servants and ten
ants.
A replica Of the Steuben monument
will be presented to the emperor Of
Germany in exchange for the mon.
