Handy Hints.

When cutting bread and dry articles
lay them on clean newspaper, and
the crumbs and litter can be disposed
of without any trouble.
After broiling steak or chops, place
the broiler over the fire and let the
fat burn off, then wipe with a piece
of paper that should be kept within
reach and you will not have a black,
greasy article to soil sink and dish
cloth.
Use baking soda for polishing tin
ware. 1t is cheap, clearly and does
not wear off the tin.
A very pretty finish for pillow cases
is to insert a row of rick-rack braid
between the hem and the body of the
case. This is very durable also.
A correspondent sends in the fol-
lowing cure for hiccoughs: Take a
sniff of pepper, or snuff, and when
you sneeze the "mccough' will have
left. -Ruralist.

Sterling" Stamp for Eggs

Beloit, Wis, July l6.-Beloit as
the center of the egg-shipping indus
try in this section is seen in the plan
which Henry Half of Morgan Farm
is outlining. Half proposes to make
contracts with all the farmers here
abouts to buy all the eggs their hens
lay and ship to wholesale houses.
By the method under consideration
the exact age of every egg will be
known, for the eggs will be stamped
when gathered. In case a wholesaler
receives some eggs which are ripe
he can send them back to Haff, who,
by means of the stamp, will be able
to tell who is responsible.
Half will sell to wholesalers only.

Dignified Senators Battle Over
Negro.

Washington, D. c., July 13.-Twt
important insurgent speeches agains
the Canadian reciprocity bill were
made to-day when Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin, and Bristow of Kansas,
introduced their amendments to that
measure and spoke in favor of them
and against the specific features of
the pending bill.
Senator Bristow renewed his fight
against the present sugar tariff and
urged the repeal to the Clutch stand
ard on imported sugar, which, he
declared, operates entirely in the
interest of the American Sugar Re-
filming Company.
The debates were preceded by the
Endorsement of the plea of Senator
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi,
for the retention on the Senate pay
roll Of Jim JONES'" negro body
guard of jefferson Davis.
In supporting Senator Williams,
the Senator overthrow it's own COM
lnittee on patronage, which had
recommended the removal of Jones
from the payroll.
Bitter words We're exchanged be-
tween Senator Williams and Senator
Hepburn of Idaho, over Mr.. Hey
burns characterization of the Con-
federacy as an Infamous cause"
Mr.. Williams retorting that he was
unprepared to hear that expression
from civilized man,"
Hoping to reach a vote on the reci-
procity bill next week, which Chair
man Penrose of the Senate Finance
Committee regards as next to GER
tainty," leaders Of both sides of the
Senate chamberare figuring seriously
on the subsequent program.
Most of them counted on getting
away after perfunctory votes on the
Democratic free list and wooden bills,
but it has become evident that other
legislation will be pressed for con-
sideration.
The friends of the Arizona-New
Mexico Statehood and reappontment
bills especially will demand votes, as
will advocates of the campaign pub
licity bill.

Wickersham Let Alaskan Thieves
Go Free, Charged.

Washington, D. c., July 14.-After
secret consideration of charges made
by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska,
that Attorney General Wickersham
deliberately permitted the statute of
limitations to run against agents of
the Alaska Syndicate, who defrauded
the Government through perjury to
the extent of $4,000, the House Com
mittee on Judiciary has determined to
leport favorably a resolution of in
quiry offered by Delegate Wicker
sham.
The resolution would call upon the
Attorney General to furnish the House
with all documents, affidavits and
testimony in his possession, relating
to an affidavit submitted to him more
than year ago, and sworn to by H.
j. Douglas, who was auditor of the
Alaska Syndicate in 1908;
The Attorney General when seen
tonight declined to discuss the action
of the committee. His friends init
mated that the charges were old and
that certain phase of them still was
under investigation. They declined
to indicate just what this phase was.
Delegate Wickersham startled the
committee when in executive session
he produced a copy of an affidavit re-
lating to an alleged criminal act,
committed by Captain D. H. Jarvis of
the Alaskan Syndicate, formerly
prominent in the Government revenue
cutter services, who committed sui
eide in Seattle on July % This was
the day following the introduction of
the Wickersham resolution, calling for
production of the papers in the case
by John H. Bullock, of the John j.
Sesnor Coal Company of Nome.
Through connvancc of these men,
it was charged that the Government
was defrauded on coal contracts and
that evidence to that effect was per-
mitted to remain Enacted upon in the
Attorney Generals office for more
than a year, until the statute of limita--
tons expired last May

Fires Quenched, OntariO's Toll
Total Totals 400.

Toronto, Ontario, July 13.-Forest
fires which RACED three Ontario towns,
wiped out sixteen mines and cost the
lives of probably 400 persons, have
been extinguished, or are under con-
troll.
No further extensive damage or
loss of life is expected.
The towns of Cochrane, South Por-
cupine and Pottsville have been OBJ
liberated. The fire swept clean the
townships OF Langmuir, Eldorado,
Shaw, Deloro, Ogden, Macarthur and
Cripple Creek district.
The known dead total 1872, the ma
jority of whom lost their lives at
South Porcupine There are believed
to have been many other fatalities,
and estimates based on unverified re-
ports run as high as 400.
A relief train left North Bay this
afternoon for Porcupine with supplies.
Plenty of funds have been subscribed
in this city for immediate help.
Refugees from the burned area say
it covers 10000 square miles COM
prising a district that housed 10000
people. From every quarter have
fugitives who have escaped the flames
many of them badly burned in their
efforts to save valuables in their
fight
It is evident it will be some days,
and perhaps weeks, before any ac-
curate idea of the total number of
dead is available.
Many of the terror-stricken fled
into the interior of the woodlands.
They have not been heard from since.
Others, who possibly survive the
the storm of fire, are believed to have
died from exhaustion. The supplies
going forward cannot possibly be
gotten to the sufferers across the
charred acres.
Some survivors are coming in with |
their clothing torn and their limbs
cut from their mad rush through the |
woods.

To Start Parole Court.

Jefferson City, No., July 17.-Gov.
ernor Hadley has decided to establish
new semijudicial branch of the
State Government which will be
known as the Court of Paroles. Be.
ginning the first Monday in August,
the court will hold regular sessions
at the Penitentiary.
State Pardon Attorney Judge Den
ton will preside and the cases will be
arranged somewhat in the docket
fashion of circuit courts. The cases
will be set on each call and it is pre-
sumed they can be disposed of at the
rate of five week.
The Court of Paroles will not be so
much court of appeals as court of
review in the cases of those who
were not convicted of the more SER
ious crimes and are serving their
first sentences. Habitual criminals
and murderers will not find them
selves within the jurisdiction of the
court unless new evidence has devel-
oped since their conviction.
The Governor gives Judge Denton
credit for many of the suggestions
which have resulted in the establish
ment of this court, which, in many
respects will fill the place of boards
pardon provided in other states.
There are so many applications for
parole that a systematic plan of con-
sidering cases became imperative.

THANKSGIVING.

Born under dark skies and amid pros
poets anything but pleasing Thanksgiving
Day lives in all weathers, the evidence OF
things that are secure, As legacy from
the Purtans it is OF far more value than
their doctrine OF theology 1t inspires the
shirt OF gratitude by teaching Us to reflect
upon the things for which we owe thanks
helps us to realize that no matter how I'M
fortunate our lot may seem We are none
of us so utterly devoid Of hope that we
cannot sincerely participate in the festival
Next Thursday is the time when we are
called upon by precedent and by proclama'
ton to he thankful for such things as we
have. whether they seem many or few And
IL we devote even a small portion Of that
day to thoughtful consideration OF these
things we will be surprised to find how
many of them we possess.

Friends of Joseph \. DE Boer are max

himself is doing nothing to prevent the
office from seeking the man. lie outlined
his views on state issues at mass meet
ing in Montpelier last week Wednesday
and has signifed his willingness to speak
wherever there is popular demand Tor
him. Present indications point to an inter
esting campaign although there is little
reason for thinking that the president OF
the National Life Insurance company Will
be able to wrest the nomination from
Allen NJ. Fletcher. Comparing the position
of the two candidates, the Bennington

Both are in favor of primary election
law and both favor the publication oil cam,

Roth favor a continuation OF the ROAD

Both favor an organized attempt to de-

Vermont attractions and opportunities.
Both advocate the home investment OF
