There Is an old saying to toe ei.

he doesn't know what may happen.
Perhaps Mr. Guy Hilton had never

Hilton found himself stone broke.
When a man is stone broke he hasn't

man.

Woman and Suffrage.

A woman to vote at school elections
in Vermont must have her name on
the grand list and she must be re-
sident of the town. lf she and her
husband hold their property jointly,
that puts her name on the grand list
and sheis eligible to membership
on the school board and she becomes
a voter for members of such boards,
provided she is resident of the
town where she holds the property.
There are many women's names
on the grand list in Woodstock !;
some of them are non-residents but
larger numbers are resident They
are all interested in the welfare of
our schools and that interest should
manifest itself by going to town
meeting and declaring it by their
votes.
Our schools need our help and CO.

ARROWS OF THE ABoRs.
Usually Tipped With One of the Most
Deadly Poisons known.

Deadly Poisons known.
The fact that the Abor trlbesmen,
against whom the government, of In
dia has sent a punitive expedition to
punish them for the recent massacre
Of Noel Williamson, are chiefly armed
with bows and arrows, has led people
to imagine that the natives will In
fiict but little damage on the soldiers.
AS a matter of fact, however, the
arrows used by the Abors are often
more dreaded than bullets, for they
are usually dipped in a poison which
is probably the most deadly in the
world. This poison is known as Gu
rare and is SO virulent that savages
have been known to smear 1t on their
nails and to kill an enemy merely by
scratching him.
Three years ago young doctor was
convicted at Vienna for supplying Gu
rare to a married woman, who touch
ed a little raw place on her husbands
body with it and he died. In effect
he had been struck by a poisoned ar
row. Curare Is an artificial COM
pound, the secret of which Is most
jealously guarded by the priests and
medicine men of savage tribes, and
travellers have told fascinating tales
of how old women of the tribes assist
the priests to make the stuff and re-
gard It as an honor to test its strength
upon themselves.
Curiously enough, the domestic fowl
and the Argos pheasant are the only
creatures said to be immune from the
effects of this deadly poison. London

OUR NEW JUDICIAL SYSTEM.
The Change Made by the Passing Of tho
Circuit Courts,

The Change Made by the Passing Of tho
Circuit Courts.
The United States circuit court, after
long and honorable history as part of
the judicial system established by the
judiciary act signed by President
Washington Sept. "a, 1850, passed out
of existence at the stroke Of midnight
Dec. 81, after lasting 122 years three
months AKA seven days. This change
in the judiciary system is in accord
ance with an act signed by President
Taft March last whereby the func-
lions of that court are merged In the
district court and the circuit. court OF
appeals, thereby simplifying the judi
cial system and to that extent expedit-
ing legal federal processes.
The confusion arising from the over
tapping of district courts and the cir
risdiction, was at times not a little
puzzling even to lawyers, and It has
now been definitely cleared up by maxi
ing the district courts courts of first
instance except In the few certain and
specified matters in which the supreme
court itself is of first instance.
The change is one that will probably
be welcomed by the judges of both
courts and certainly by the legal pro-
fession in general. In effect 1t is not
so much an abolition of the circuit
courts except in name as an amalga-
nation of them with the district courts.
The view that the new act which be-
came effective at the beginning OF the
new year deprived the circuit judges OF
all functions until an enabling act
has been passed by congress is not TAX
en- seriously by the judges themselves,
but any doubt on the subject that may
exist will be promptly cured by addi-
tional Legislation making the status of
the judges of the abolished court clear.
