PRIVATE PENSIoNING OF PUBLIC
SERVANTS.


Doubtless it is a good enough policy
that the ex-presidents Of the United
States be pensioned and also that the
widows of ex-presidents be pensioned

again; but il would smack less of pri-
waite proprietorship of government if the
pension were TO be provided through the
government and from government funds,
rather than from private donations
Therefore, while not finding fault with
Andrew Carnegie's proposal that the ex-
presidents of the United States or the
widows of ex-presidents are deserving of
ar annual gift Of $4,000. one may jus

A number of state contemporaries are
beginning to "catch on" to the fact that

Boston, as Vermont has in Montpelier.

Ends Hunt for Rich Girl.

Often the hunt for a rich wife ends
when the man meets d woman that
uses Electric Bitters. Her strong
nerves tell in a bright brain and even
temper. Her peach-bloom complex
ion and ruby lips result from her
pure blood; her bright eyes from rest
full sleep; her elastic step from firm
free muscles, all telling of the health
and strength Electric Bitters give a
woman, and the freedom from indi-
gestion, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells they promote. Everywhere they
are woman's favorite remedy If weak
or ailing try them. soc at F. w
