its many disguises that is calling her

seldom been taught to look forward

produce below cost. The lot of the
farmers wife was one of almost un

little wonder that she hoped for some

saw unfolding in them her own girl

WILLIS FRENCH ALIVE.
Brattleboro Man Supposed to Be Dead
Greeted Old Friends Wednesday.

About six wears ago the friends Of
Willis French circulated story that ne
had been killed in an alteration with
an unknown man in Columbia, ;. {. The
authorities of that city were c0mmunl-
Gated with by Mr.. French 5 Brattleb0ro
friends and the reply was TO the effect
that a man had been killed under the
circumstances mentioned ana that II
was probable that Mr.. French was the
victim. The report, however, like a
story once circulated about the late
Mark Twain. was evidently grossly
exaggerated for Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. French walked up Main street. His
friends rubbed their ewes and took a
second look. Sure enough il was Willis
French and all of the little eulCgleS re-
peated about the Brattleboro man who
was supposed TO have given up hlS life
far from home and friends had been
said for naught. Mr.. French was ap,
preached by an Old-time friend and
as ked how il was that man could sud
denly appear six wears after the an
uouncement of his demise. Mr.. french
ntimated that there was no statute OF
limitations for dead men returning to
earth. He announced that he had not
been dead. however. at any time during
the six wears past. but had been follow
inc his trade of carpenter in various
parts of the country. He said that he
had heard some rumor about his death
in Columbia. but that IT was only a
rumor. He is visiting Brattleboro
friends for a few DAYS and explaining
that he ism t dead. Mr.. French went
south as carpenter for party OF
Vermont men engaged in promoting
hotel project number of wears ago and
il was shortly afterward that the story
of Mr.. French's death reached BrattIe.
