CHASTITY OBJECT LESSON

A gruesome incident happened re-
Gently at Auburn, a township near
Seattle, in the course of a local op-
ton election. Both factions were
making a hard fight and the prohi-
bitionists appeared to be In the lead
until late in the afternoon. Then the
tide began to turn. In a frantic eff
fort, the anti-saloon leaders appeal
ed to the deputy coroner, an ardent
Prohibitionist, for aid. He hurried
to his establishment, where the bodies
of the two men who had died from
alcoholism lay. BOlstering the corpses
in an upright position in their
windows. Above the heads of each
a sign read: He died Of drink" AS
voters hurried by, the a~nti-saloon men
directed their attention to the exhi-
bition. There was no dissertation
of the dead" said the orone THE
men were without friends and their
bodies might as we'll have been put to
some good use.

MUST WIFE GO TO SCHOOL,

The Zurich municipal authorities
will shortly be called upon to decide
a curious case. An Italian schoolgirl,
aged 10 years, whose parents reside
at Zurich. returned from a short
visit to Italy, and, stating she was
married, refused to return to school.
In this canton children are obliged to
school until the age of 10.
On making inquiries the Zurich author
tiles found that the little Italian girl
had been legally married in her own
country to a respectable young work
ing man Of her own class, who in
tends to come to Switzerland when he
has saved some money and make his
girl wife a home. Can a married
woman" be compelled to attend
school? is the question that the au-
thOrities will have to settle.

WATCH STOPS WHEN MAN DIES

a strange coincidence is reported In
connection with the death of Mr..
George Platten, who died at Bishops
Stortford, Eng, recently at the age
of "A. He was head gamekeeper
for many years to the late Mar
Quis of Salisbury, and at big
shooting parties he used to load for
the distinguished guests, which often
included the late King Edward, when
prince of Wales. In early life he was
presented with a handsome watch by
a royal guest, which he set much store
by never letting 1t go out of his pos.
sion, and taking it to bed with him
at night. On the day of his death
it was found beneath his pillow, and
was found to have stopped at the
exact moment the old man died.

WHAT THE NET BROUGHT UF,

A strange catch was made the other
week by the Scotch trawler Locust,
while at work on the fishing grounds
about 16 miles east of the May
Island. In the net was the body of a
young man who had been compare
lively only a short time drowned, as
the body was quite fresh in appear
ance when taken or board the traw-
Ter. 1t was evidently that of a young
~seafaring man, as it vas fully clothed
In oilskins aud sOu'-wester, who had
most likely fallen, or been washed

the Forth. The crew of the Locust
was not a little upset at the unusual
and somewhat eerie incident, and i'm
mediately made for Granton, where
the body was landed.

LITERARY NOTE.
Special Vermont Number Of the journal
of American History.


Of American History.
The splendid special Vermont number
of the Journal of American History,
Americas great journal of patriotism,
will be even larger and finer than It's
publishers dared hope. The work has
grown with the days and the magazine
will contain the best description of Yer
mont which has appeared in recent
years, while the Illustrations, besides
views of pageants and of attractive YER
mont scenery, include full page por-
traits of the governor, lieutenant gov
ernor both United States senator's both
members of Congress and other promi-
nent men. All these men have given
messages for Vermonters designated to
furnish inspiration and arouse the
patriotism of every native of the state,
whether at home or abroad.
A number of valuable historical arti-
oles, hitherto unpublished, are included
in the table of contents. Walter II.
Crockett of Montpelier, secretary and
historian of the Sons of the American
Revolution, contributes one upon the
men to whom the thirty thousand dollars
was paid which induced New York to
withdraw her claim to lands In the state.
Horace W. Bailey of Rutland has con-
tributed a series describing every pa
geant and celebration in the state in 1911.
Burton II. Allbee, associate editor of the
magazine, himself Vermonter and
student of her history, has prepared an
accurate account of each one of the 81
towns which celebrate their anniversary
this year, and of the eight which cele-
brate next year. These brief histories
are drawn in most instances from origin
al records.
The number is so good that Gov. Mead
has headed a popular subscription to pay
for a wider circulation than would other
wise be possible. Many other prominent
Vermonters have contributed literally
toward this patriotic enterprise.
The Journal of American History the
one great magazine of patriotic inspira-
ton in this country, opens its sixth year
with this special Vermont issue. 1t will
be a double number, beautifully illus
trated, each part containing about 100
pages. The Vermont division inaugu-
rates the new commonwealth series,
unique in conception and beautiful in ex-
ecution. experimenting the magnificent
work the home press is constantly doing
in exploiting Vermont's numerous advan-
tages, this issue will supply the most at
tractive advertising any state has ever
had,
