a relative OF Attorney Fred Martin,
and also or Bob Burdette, the IA
nous Baptist preacher of California,
was a postal clerk III the postofiee
at Peroia, III. One of Burdette's
duties was to register letters and
valuable packages. Late one even
sag man came into the Office, just
before the hour OF closing. He ap-
preached Burdettes window and
threw down twelve packages and
asked to have them registered, Each
of the packages contained $500
Burdette registered the packages,

Burdette then put the packages in

cord and tied them ITO one big
bundle and they were all consigned
to various persons in the same city
A mail pouch was standing open on
the rack near Burdette, which was
TO go to this town. Burdette tossed
the letters into this pouch. closed

maa6ed that tracers be started. This
was at once done but there could be
nothing found out about them.
Burdette swore that the letters
had been put n the mail pouch by
him and that the mail sack had been

evident that Burdette was the last

pay the amount of money missing
but he refused to allow them to do
so. saying that as he was not guilty

that the postmaster discharge Bur

so and said that as far as. he was
concerned, Burdette would remain

convinced that Burdette was mo

suit against Burdette as evidence
was lacking to prove that he had
taken the money. The upshot of the
matter was that Burdette remained
in the service with the postmaster
for several years. Those were the
DAYS before civil service had made
itself felt n the political jobs, and
the postmaster remained until an

The highway appropriation bill will
soon occupy the attention of the legisla-
ture as it will be brought up from the
committee with a favorable report. The
measure calls for an appropriation of
5000, 900 annually. an increase of $50 900
over the annual appropriation for the
last biennial term. At the discussion on
the bill by the farmers club Tuesday
evening Mr.. Knight of Dummerston in

rather sharply and demanded to know II
the state did not think 1t wise to spend
more money on the o-called back

thought perhaps in the town of Dunn

town was not sufficient or that possibly
the reason for any complaint which may
exist lay with the road commissioners.

Montpelier, Dec 10.
When the lawmakers came back Mon
day to take up the work OF the tenth
week of the session there was much
business on both calendars, but II was
largely of a routine nature. without a
quorum the House passed the bill pro-
viding that druggists licenses shall not
be issued in towns voting no. That was
the only measure of Importance disposed
OF at that session. Tuesday was devoted
to temperance taxation, constitutional
amendments and the matter of increas-
Ing the governors salary. The lower
branch refused the state option bill a
third reading Tuesday morning. During
the debate on the bill Mr.. Taft of
Townshend made strong appeal for
another referendum on the liquor ques-
ton and said that he took part in the
contest In 1908. and would welcome the
chance to vote again on the subject.
When the vote was taken on the
fiat rate" bill, laying a tax of seven
tenths Of one per cent on intangibles, in
the House Tuesday, Mr.. Ryder Of Rock
ingham voted against the measure as he
was in favor OF the proposition to sub

when another bill, soon to be introduced
in the upper branch by Senator Barber
