the main road from Pixies Falls to Bond
Vile. This was the first state road work
in this section.
Townshend reported a section i'm
proved on the main road near the New
fame line, a section rebuilt on the. stage
road to Grafton. also a section near
West Townshend which included the
blasting away of a high ledge and rails
ing the roadbed above high water from
West river at this point
Vernon reported the completion of a
section on the trunk line road begun last
year. This work included deep cuts and
deep fills to get proper width and grade,
and the hauling of gravel long distance
for surfacing.
Wardsboro did a fine job of grading
and surfacing on the two streets in
Wardsboro village, and In installing a
good pipe system of drainage for the
same.
Westminster reported work on the
main road leading to Saxtons River, i'm
provement on the road leading to West
moreland, improvement in the village OF
Westminster West and a long section
improved on the main road leading to
Putney All grades were reduced to six
per cent on this job, requiring deep cuts
and fills to get sufficient width. The
town built a cement arch bridge on this
section to help straighten a severe curve
blasting was required to widen the road.
Nottingham reported a heavy job done
on the road leading to Readsboro. This
was a continuation of 1910 work on this
same road These two years work have
made a wonderful change for the better
on this road. A steel tube bridge was
installed near Jacksonville.
Wilmington did a creditable piece of
work on the stage road to Brattleboro
beginning at the town line and running
west a long section. Much ledge and I'M
derdrainage was encountered in this
work Three cement bridges also were
built by the town.
Windham reported a good grading and
drainage job on the main road to Graf
ton near the four corners also a long
section was built on the Chester road
reaching to Andover line. This was an
expensive job, but well worth the out
lay.
These improvements, covering some 10
miles of selected road in Windham
county have cost in round numbers, in
Guiding six cement bridges built by the
towns, $4,000. Beside this sum the towns
have expended $4,000 in special work
Forty-five different improvement jobs in
the county indicate the policy of select
ing at random upon the selected roads
such sections as seem most urgent for
immediate improvement.
Much of the future work on improve
ments through the county will be eX
tensions of former state road work. and
this policy of building continuous links
will produce in the near future long
stretches of good road and will raise
very materially the general average con-
dtion of all the roads.
The surplus created by the larger state
appropriations this year makes it pos
sble to undertake special improvements
that heretofore could not be considered
for want of funds. Some of the special
jobs will be highly appreciated.
AS the good work progresses more in
trest is manifested by the communi-
ties, which augurs we'll for a generous
support in the future.
Respectfully,

The Rlcheson Confession.

1t is well that Rev. c. V. II. Richeson
has confessed. 1t is not easy to see in
to anothers mind, and 1t might be I'M
Just to say that the confession was eN-
torted by the complete collapse of the de-
Tense even before the trial could be
reached. There is a general feeling of
relief that the case is not to be presented
at great length, and in all its dreadful
detail in the form of testimony and
lawyers arguments and appeals; and
in so far as he has contributed to such
an outcome the murderer is entitled to
public gratitude. Aside from that, pub
lice feeling probably is expressed ade-
quately in the homely old phrase, May
God have mercy on his SOUL
The district attorney of Suffolk
county is entitled to the thanks of the
people he serves for resolutely refusing
to accept a plea of murder in the second
degree in return for the confession The
crime was peculiarly atrocious. There
never was a more heartless one. There
never was one more clearly deserving the
extreme punishment provided by law.
Having been sentenced to death, Rev.
C. V. T. Richeson will appeal to the gov
ernor for clemency. The governor and
council will have some difficulty in grant
ing It, If Mr.. Richeson should escape
execution, how could this commonwealth
ever again put an offender to death?
barbarism and should be abolished: but
here is the wretched Phelps within arms
length of the electric chair. 1t would
be a travesty on justice to put him to
death, if the clerical assassin, who had
all the advantages of the best schools
and the moral influence of the finest New
England atmosphere to restrain his vic
ious propensties, We're to escape exc
cution.
The Richeson case has been most
shocking, and no doubt the fact that the
murderer was a clergyman has done
much to stir public interest and deepen
the horror surrounding all its phases 1t
is not to be supposed, however, that the
clerical profession needs the slightest
vindication because the exceptional wolf
in sleeps clothing has once more made
an appearance and ravaged the inno-
cents almost within the very limits of
the sanctuary of religion. Yet every
clergyman and every well-wisher of all
religious faiths will mourn because such
a blow should have been struck at the
church and its moral influence by one
who has taken ministerial vows

ANSWER TO HORSE PROBLEM.
Miss Grace M. Payne Of West Wards
boro Second, c. A. Smith Third.

The Phoenix publishes herewith the
answer to the horse problem submitted
several weeks ago by the South Vernon
correspondent.
The problem was as follows: How
many square feet can horse feed over,
tied with a rope 100 feet long to the
corner of barn 25 feet square?" The
answer is 30,29467 square feet
1t was the intention to print the an
swer earlier, but as there was some
doubt as to the correctness of the figures
submitted as being the correct answer
The Phoenix sought the assistance of a
professional mathematician, whose fig
ures cannot be disputed and who dem
onstrated the fact that ut is easy If you
only know how"
Most of the problem can be worked out
by simple arithmetic, but in determining
the area of certain part of the terri
tory involved a knowledge of geometry
and trigonometry is advantageous, per-
haps positively essential
A large number of decimal places
would be required In giving the exact
answer, but they would amount to only
a fraction of square foot and the size
of the fraction in any PERSONS answer
depends upon the number of decimal
places used in the computation. Stated in
whole numbers 1t is 30, 294 square feet
From the following list of answers re-
ceived by The Phoenix it will be seen
that the one last submitted by Everett
e. Stockwell OF Springfield, Mass, for
merly of Vernon, is correct. Had
Charles A. Smith of Brattleboro allowed
his first answer to stand he would have
been second by fraction of a square
foot, but he changed it, consequently
Miss Grace NJ. Payne of West Wards
boro is second and Mr.. Smith third. Here

The Blind Men and the Elephant.

1t was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant,
(Though all of them were blind,
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side
At once began to bawl:
God bless me! But the Elephant
Is very like a wall!'
The Second, feeling of the tusk.
Cried: "Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me tbs mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear?"
The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands
Thus boldly up and spake:
81 see," quoth he, 1.-The Elephant
Is very like a snake."
The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
What most this wondrous beast is like
is might plain" quoth he
" tbs clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree"
The Fifth, who CHANGED to touch the ear
Said: Fen the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most.
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a FAM
The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope
Than seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
II see," quoth he, 1.-The Elephant
Is very like n roper
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong.
Though each was partly In the right
And all were in the wrong!

ALMOST LOST
HIS FOOT
Operations Did Not Seem
To Do Any Good.
After Years Of Agony Doctors
Advised Amputation.
A Great Triumph for a Great
Medicine.

ELKART, Ind.-I narrowly escaped
losing my foot, because of swelling
and sores on my ankle. They dis
charged a great quantity of matter
and some pieces of bone. We tried
everything to make the errptions heal,
and had two or three operations,
which did not seem to do any good.
After three years of agony the doctor
advised that the foot be amputated in
order to save my life. My family
would not consent to this, but began
to give me Hoods Sarsa parilla.
"To make a long story short, Hoods
Sarsaparilla effected a complete and
wonderful cure. The sores healed up,
the discharge ceased, the swelling
went down, and / could walk as well
as anybody. have had scarcely a
sick day since. The cure was perfect
and complete. 1t was a great triumph
for Hoods Sarsaparilla over impure
blood The germs certainly got the
worst of it from Hoods Sarsaparilla
in my case, and I believe it will cure
in all similar cases. so l warmly rec
ommend it." Henry Jenkins.
Thousands of intelligent and eco
nomical men and women have come
to know by experience the great value
of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and to regard
1t as common sense" to use this pro-
prietary medicine in many diseases
and ailments.
Hoods Sarsaparilla effects it's WON
derful cures, not simply because 1t
contains sarsaparilla, but because It
combines the utmost remedial values
of more than twenty different ingred-
tents, which are the very remedies
successful physicians prescribe for the
same diseases and ailments, but are
not all found In any other medicine.
There is no real substitute for Hood
Sarsaparlla. If urged to buy any
preparation said to be "just as good
you may be sure 1t is inferior. costs
less to make. and yields the dealer a
larger profit.
