"THE LOST CHORD"
Sullivan Wrote the Music at His Dy-
ing Brothers Bedside.

Sullivan Wrote the Music at His Dy-
ing Brothers Bedside.
Perhaps the most successful song of
modern times is THE Lost Chord. y
whose sale in Great Britain has ex-
ceeded 100000 copies. The story of
its composition, as told by Mr.. Willeby
in his Masters of English Music" IL
Illustrates that in art. as in statesman
ship, success came to those
Who knew the seasons when to take
Occasion by the hand.
For nearly three weeks Arthur Sey-
mour Sullivan had watched by the bed
side of a dying brother One night
when the end was not far off and his
brother was sleeping he CHANGED to
come across some verse Of Adelaide
Procter's which five years before he
had tried in vain to set to music.
In the silence Of that night watch he
read them over again, and almost in
stantly their musical expression was
conceived. A stray sheet of music pa
per was at hand, and he began to write
The music grew. and he worked on.
delighted TO be helped while away the
hours of watching. AS he progressed
he felt sure the music was what he
had sought for and failed to find on
the occasion Of his first attempt to set
the words. In short time It was
complete and not long after in the
publishers hands.

A Book and a War.

Copyright questions are grave enough
nowadays. but they no longer threaten
to end in war. as in the case Of ST. Co
lumba. the Irishman who settled in
Iona, converted north Britain and is
commemorated on June .. He had a
passion for fine manuscripts and copies
OF them and among others copied a
certain Latin psalter belonging to an
Irish abbot, whereupon King Diarpaid
condemned Columbia at Tara, ruling
that ito every book belongs its copy,
as to every cow its calf" Columbia
appealed against the verdict in the
practical form OF melting his kinsmen
to revolt, and they defeated Diarmaid
In the battle of the Psalter. The book
is claimed to be the one which In a
silver cover was carried into battle by
the O'Donnells during more than a
thousand years. -,s--.- q

FRENCH KID SKINS.
Why the Young Animals Are Not Per.
mitted to Eat Grass.

The raising OF kids for their skins is
an important industry among the
French mOuntaineers. SOftness, deli.
cacy of texture and freedom from
blemish are principal factors in the
value Of kid skins, and to secure these
essentials great pains are taken.
As soon as the young animal begins
10 eat grass the value of its skin de-
elines, for with grass diet the kids
skin Immediately becomes coarser and
harder in texture, and its chief merit
thus vanishes. 1t is, therefore. kept
closely penned, not only to keep it
from eating grass, but also to protect
its valuable skin against accidental in
jurles that might impair its market
ability
When the kids have attained a GER
tain age at which the skins are in the
best condition for the use of the glover
they are killed and the hides are sold
to dealers.
The superior quality of these kid
skins, due somewhat to climatic con
ditions is what has given France the
supremacy in the manufacture of the
finest grades of real kid gloves, a SUI
premacy that will doubtless long be
maintained, nasmuch as foreign man
ufacturers must rest content with sec
ond rate kins.-Harper's Weekly.

POST CARDS
Worth Blowing About

Permit us to blow our horn. The
welcome sound thereof will be music
in the ears of those who have been
waiting for the new arrivals among
our series of 100 local views.
To those who are not acquainted
with these cards, to which we have
been adding new subjects, from time
to time, we wish to explain that they
are works of art, hand colored pho
tographs, worth framing; and while
pictures of this class cannot ordin-
arily be sold for less than five or
ten cents each, our price OF practi-
cally cents (25c per doZen) is made
possible only because of the i'm
mense number we purchase of them
at one time.
On the back of each card is dis
cription of the subject, which adds
very materially to the value thereof,
and as they are largely of historic
interest every Benningtonian should
possess a set of them, if he would
post himself on our early history.
We have just received about twenty
new subjects, that are especially in
teresting, which, when sent to your
friends will not find their way to the
wastebasket, but will be kept for
their beauty.
These cards are for sale at our
stores, at Braman & Co.'S and Har-
woods and Gokay's drug stores.
Remember that If you are looking
for the cheaper cards we have the
largest and best assortment of local,
comic, birthday and motto cards in
town at &c and 10c per dozen.

Cats as Food In China.

One often sums up the value Of cheap
fur by describing 1t as having been Oh
tanned from the domestic cat. but in
China garments Of catskin rank as high
and are as precious as garments of sa-
bic in this country. In the Flowery
Land cats flesh is also much eaten
and is especially recommended as q
cure for consumption and all lung dis
eases. 1t is vastly superior to cod liver
OIL and therefore cats are considered
extremely valuable possessions. Black
cats provide the best meat, and in a
great many parts Of China this food is
so highly esteemed that cats are reared
for sale like fowls Or sheep.

A Strange Ca Sc.

Ada May Faulkner, 2S years old, men,
Der of prominent family of Whit
ingham, was arrested by Deputy United
States Marshal E. S. Whitaker of Rut-
land early last fall, charged with send
ing improper and threatening matter
through the mails. The case came be-
fore the grand jury. The evidence
against Miss Faulkner seemed so strong
that plea of guilty was entered on one
of the IL counts in the indictment and
fine of 5000 was paid.
Miss Faulkner insisted that she wrote
no such letters but the handwriting of
the exhibits, which were numerous, led
her attorney to believe that the case
against her was conclusive. Miss Faux
ner admitted mailing the letters, or
many of them, to numerous people in
her town, but she claimed that she did
so under threat received from am I'M
known person, that she would be at
tackled II she did not post letters that
would be found from time to time in
her buggy as she drove daily from her
farm home to the post office.
The letters, the authorship of which
Miss Faulkner did not know, became SO
frequent that she appealed to the post
master for protection, explaining to him
the circumstances. He called into the
case a post office inspector who took
possession of the letters, and who
forthwith charged Miss Faulkner with
the crime of abusing the mails.
Irving Ware, Wilmington farmer
with family, was found hanging May {
| in mis- barn Recently new occupant OF
| the farm has taken possession, and last

a companion unnamed, having possession

repttiously into the wagon or the young
