boro has had more marriages performed

1t begins to look as though Vermont
would not be visited next season by one
of the big circuses, for thus far no
word has been heard from them by the
transportation men and when they do
come, negotiations are usually entered
into by this time One reason which
is said to influence the shows entering
Vermont is the large sum which is
charged by the state for permitting them
to exhibit. The license here is no larg-
err than in many other states but there
are more opportunities in most Others
to show inside the state boundaries.

REMBRANDT AN EASY MARK.
The Great Painter Was . Victim Of
Reckless Speculation.

nSSN'SsS opoCosaSs0Os
German art students who have been
investigating the reason why Rem.
brandt died hopelessly bankrupt have
discovered that he was an incorrigible
SPECTATOR. 1t had hitherto been pop
ularly supposed that he was compelled
to rsmain poor because of his extrava-
giant love OF jewels.
Unfortunate speculations turn out
to have been the cause Of his financial
ruin. Documents have been disinter-
red showing that he officially informed
the municipality Of Amsterdam that
he had suffered heavy losses In bust
ness transactions as well as through
damages and losses on the high seas.
1t was at a time. $4,000. when all
Europe was engaged In feverish mon
ey making in connection with Hol-
lands metcoric commercial prosperity
Speculation took place on a reckless
scale. Immense fortunes were sunk
in shipping. banking and colonial en-
terprises.
Rembrandt, whose highly artistic
nature was sadly devoid Of even ele-
mentary business sense. fell an easy
victim to the scheming spectators Of
that era Of frenzied finance. and he
lost his entire fortune. Many Of his
pictures were seized for debt by the
legal authorities before the canvases
were half finished. Bankruptcy final

ORIGIN of Iron Duke.

The Ireh Duke, of course. was Wei
ington. but he came by the nickname
In roundabout way. He was never
50 called until long after Waterloo. An
iron steamship. a novelty at the time
was built In the Mersey and named the
Duke Of Wellington, and so the vessel
came to be known as the Iron Duke.
the transition being easy ane obvious
1t was the dukes union Of resolution
and physical energy which made the
popular name for the Mersey built
steamship to fit him like perfect cap.
Such. at least, is the explanation of his

DAD TO PAY
THE BILLS

Declaring that her husband and
herself were supported by her
father until the latter became
weary of it, Mrs. Vera Miller
asked for a divorce today in Judge
Chapman's court. She says she
had to borrow money repeatedly
from her father to pay grocery
and meat bills.
Her husband, ]. d. Miller, who
Is contesting the case, declares he
had to give up job in the auto
mobile business because she was
prejudiced against it. Each of
them is seeking the custody of a
baby daughter, Grace.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Miller are
young and strikingly handsome.
They were married in December,
1911. Mrs. Miller left her hus-
band several months ago to live
