A Vermont Campaign Fund.

Hats off to the gallant little band
of democrats in Vermont, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. They have taken
the lead in carrying out Woodrow
Wilson's idea Of making public
campaign contributions before the
election, and have issued challenge
to the republicans and bull moosers
which those parties might find EN-
barassing if the money which they
have spent in that state for speakers,
automobiles, free baudanas and other
campaign expenses had been distri-
buted through the state committees
The democratic state cpmmittee
has published its campaign contri-
buttons, reaching a total Of $l,9l1

so cents to $500 There is ouly ore
$500 contribution, coming from A

cracy are not known at this distance,
but who would seem to be stranger
to the frugal habits OF the state he
has aided so generously. There were
also two contributions Of $3.50 each,
one from Mr.. Howe, the democratic
candidate for governor That is the

MANIcuREs FOR ANIMALS
Departments to Care for Nails and
Bills Started at Zoo In
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa--So as to keep the
nails Of the animals from the lion to
the monkey and the bills of the birds
from the eagle to the canary in good
shape, well-equipped manicuring and
dental establishment is maintained at
the geological gardens. The depart
ment is under the supervision of Head
Keeper Manley, and 1t moves its
sphere of work from cage to cage in
mands. It is constantly at work.
The tools employed by the mani
curists In connection with their labor
among the creatures differ materially
from the dainty utensils used by the
blonde Venus Of the barber shop, and
consist of a hammer, q chisel, often a
hatchet and saw, and always large,
rugged file about IA inches long. A
sharp, strong pair of steel wire NIP
pers Is also used on the nails of the
larger cats. y
The manicuring establishment at the
gardens was organized by Supertn-
tendent Carson. Realizing that the
animals could not wear off their nails
on the boards of the cages asAquickly
as they could on the rocks of their ma
tive haunts, and that because of this
the claws frequently grew long, turned
and penetrated the soft part OF the
foot, Mr. Carson decided that In order
to alleviate the distress caused by In
growing nails these would have to be
clipped.

HIs Share OF Feast.

Hamilton, Ohio. New York's four
hundred have had their monkey din
ners. other swell sets have their inno-
vations along that line, but this town
bears the honor OF giving dog real

First Across Vermont.

Flying at an altitude of between
1000 and 5000 feet, Aviator George
Schmitt, Rutland boy, completed
the first cross country aeroplane
flight ever attempted in the state Of
Vermont and was cheered from all
over the city by thousands. The Yer
mont aviator only three years ago
constructed his own first glider.
Mr.. Schmitt, who is only 20 years
old, flew from the Addison County
Fair Grounds at Middlebury to Rut-
land, distance of about 35 miles
His actual flying time was about "a
minutes, but he stated that he prob
ably made the distance in less time
than this, as he circled the grounds
and also did spiral glide at a
height Of about 1000 feet over the
city.

near the fireplace. 1t is in excellent
preservation and between the two bar
rels runs the inscription: Presented

Drury Lane, February z. 1885," and
the name of the maker is given as

old daughter Of w. B. Smith, who re-
sides on Crofton Prairie. ten miles

The child stepped out into the gar

ADVICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why
Because it wishes to encourage
the children to be frugal and to have
little bank account OF their own,
even though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Children who commence an
sccount on a penny, a nickel, or a
dime, often grow into capitalists
later on.
The way to become capitalist is
to commence now to save the
pennies.
