DEATH OF PROMINENT PRIEST.
Rev. A. ]. Barron of Bennington Had
Been Long in Ill Health.

Bennington, Nov. 24.--The Rev. A. j
Barron, permanent rector of the Church
of ST. Francis de Sales, died Sunday
morning. He had been in poor health
for more than year but his final i'll
ness dated from November Z. Father
Barron was native of South Burlington
and was born September II, 1858. He
obtained the rudiments of his education
in the public and parochial schools OF
Burlington, and later studied under the
Fathers of st. Sulpice in Montreal. He
was ordained in Burlington August 81
1884, and was first assigned to st. Peters
church, Vergennes, but his first perma
nent parish was the Church of Our Lady
of the Rosary, Richmond, where during
a pastorate of eight years he brought
about extensive improvements in the
church property.
In June, 1902, the Rev. Father Bar
ron was sent by Bishop DeGoesbriand
to Bennington to take the parish of st.
Francis de Sales where a vacancy ex-
isted because Of the promotion of the
late Rev John Michaud to be coadjutor.
Here in Bennington Father Barron took
up the latter's work in completing a
church which was consecrated early in
his pastorate. In addition TO completing
the church, he purchased site and built
st. Francis de Sales academy on North
street, structure that could not be du-
plicated to-day for less than $4,000.
The Rev. Father BaEon's silver jubi-
lee, the 25th anniversary of his ordi-
nation, was observed by the parish in
1909. The exercises extended over three
days and were attended by more than
100 priests. On the death of Bishop
Michaud, Father Barron was one OF the
three priests from among whom it was
believed a successor would be chosen.
The funeral will be held Wednesday
morning at ten o'clock at the Church of
St. Francis de Sales and the mass will
be sung by the Rt. Rev. Joseph j. Rice.

William Conley of Bridge
water Thought to Have
Been Pounded to Death
TWO ARRESTS MADE
PENDING INQUIRY
There Is Alleged to Have
Been a Drunken
Row

Woodstock, Nov. 24--George Duran
and Doa w. Phanenf were taken into
custody late yesterday afternoon and
are held in county, Jail on suspicion of
completely in the death of William Con-
lev of Bridgewater, whose bruised body
was found lying in driveway near Du-
rams house, about four and a half miles
from here on the road to Bridgewater.
The tragedy is thought to have been
the result Of drunken row, though
Duran diselaims all knowledge of any
trouble.
Duran operates a cider mill near his
home and many customers dropped in
yesterday as on other days, but he says
sweet cider is the only beverage used as
far as he knows.
Phaneuf is boarder at his house
and had left to go to Myron Reeds, by
whom he is employed as a farmland, to
get a check for labor. Coming back he
discovered Conley's body lying beside
the driveway, face down, as if asleep.
Conley was taken into Duran's house
and attempts made to revive him, as
Duran says they thought perhaps he
was still living. Three officers and ply
sicians were summoned and Conley's
body was brought to the undertaking
rooms here.
Deputy Sheriff J. H. 0ber made the
arrests, returning to Jail here with the
prisoners about I o'clock. The story
Of the tragedy as learned by the Off
GERS eontradicts Duran's tale, and the
latter, they say, was somewhat intoxi-
Gated when arrested. Evidence points
to a fight among the men at Duran's
house, in which Duran and Phaneuf got
the best of Conley and Russell. The
latter, who bears marks of fracas, Is
held as witness. Duran has a wife
and several children. Conley. it is un-
derstood, was journeymar weaver.

ing that Of girl attending the Fairfield

Bellona, Queen Elizabeth, Prince AL

negro whose child he christened was
called Whisky Emmanuel. Another
black man brought his child and when
the minister asked the name replied,
"Seriatim ad Valorem." Another gave
a puzzling answer, which sounded like
"Ax. parson," and when requested to
explain said: "Well. parson, my mind

The Ants Sewing Bee.

A party Of German naturalistS re-
Gently returned from Ceylon have re-
ported the existence of a species Of ant
that has been observed in the act Of
sewing two leaves together for the
purpose of forming a nest. This re-
port confirms the observations of the
English naturalist Ridley, made in
1890, says the New York Tribune.
They saw Il row of the insects pull
ing the edges of leaves together; then
others trimming and fitting the edges,
and finally the completion of the work
by still other ants, which fastened the
edges with silky thread yielded by
larvae of the same species the work
erS carried in their mandibles. 1t is
said that the sewing ants pass the
thread giving larvae like shuttles
through holes in the edges Of the
leaves.

MILKWEED AS FOOD.
Common Wild Variety Makes Most
Delicious Vegetable.

One of the economic triumphs OF the
age is the utilization of waste material,
and the use Of weeds as food staples
is Il phase of this triumph.
The most interesting of these new
weed foods is milkweed, the COM
mon, wild variety, that grows in every
rocky pasture. in meadows and by
roadsidcs in abundance. Its large,
thick. smooth leaves are familiar to all,
and its deep, dull pink tuft Of flowers
AMI later it's seed pods, filled with del
icatc floss and fiat brown seeds. When
it is broken off a thick, white, milky
juice eXudes This is rich in nutrition.
This common and luxuriant weed Is
now being cultivated in gardens as a
valuable food staple and makes one Of
the most delicious of vegetables. 1T
tastes almost exactly like asparagus
and is cooked in much the same way
as spinach. 1t has been found to be
rich in natural salts and nutrition and
is easily cultiVated.-Mrs M. 2. Has

THE EXPIRED TICKET

hand to me out of the coach window,
looking at me with fearful eyes
1t wasn't Il week before | received
a note from the attorney of the road
over which I'd given the girl ticket
stating that he had Il case against me
for swindling and I must either shut
up my shop or he would send me TO
state prison. I went at once to the
attorneys office and asked to Know
what 1t meant He showed me the
ticket | had given the girl with a sick
mother and asked me if I'd sold 1t to
a deaf and dumb girl. / denied the
charge and admitted I'd given it to
girl who could talk as well as | could.
Then he told me how the ticket had
been used.
The girl had poked it at the conductor
when he came around. and be told her
it was no good. She began to talk to
him with her fingers, and. seeing her
condition, he had given her pencil
and paper. on which she wrote that
ticket scalper had sold the ticket to her
trying to get case to scare us scalp
,ars, and the conductor, backed by the
passengers, who were indignant at
such treatment Of a poor deaf and
dumb girl, passed her through but he
stipulated that she should give the
name of the scalper. which she did
willingly. expressing the hope that he
, would be punished soundIy.
Well, [ told my side Of the story.
and when the road sent to the address
the girl had given for confederation
of her side it found there was no
such street and number in existence.
The officers of the road believed that
the poor girl shrank from appearing
against me and had therefore thus
concealed her abode. But, not having
any evidence against me, they didn't
prosecute me, though | remained I'M
der cloud with them.
Not long ago in looking over a news
paper my eyes We're attracted to an
Dumb Racket" The item stated that
Mary Meyers had been arrested for
travelling on railroad trains on worth
less tickets and pretending to be deaf
and dumb. She represented that the
tickets were sold her by ticket scalp
ers. thus exciting the sympathy 'neces-
sary to get herself passed and often to
draw forth a contribution from the
passengers. l sent the clipping to the
officers of the railroad she had swim

MYSTERY OF A STONE KING.
One In Westminster Hall Is Puzzle to
Experts

One In Westminster Hall Is Puzzle to
Experts.
The lions of Westminster are legion,
some in the flesh and others i'll stone
or marble There has been an addi-
ton to the menagerie. around which
there is Il halo of mystery. 1t is q
gray stone statue of king which has
been taken out of the Architectural
museum and perched aloft. There is
a heavy crown on his head over long
flowing hair. the beard is rippled and
majestic. In his left hand he holds
the orb. but the scepter hand is gone.
The old king broods over the hall Of
kings.
The experts are puzzled over his his
tory He stood in Westminster hall
for many centuries side by side with
other stone kings, and all We're tidied
away by the government in 1856. Re-
Gently it occurred to Lord Beauchamp
TO try the effect of bringing them back.
Several of the beautiful Gothic win
dows are blind. forming inches suit
able for statues, and all the old forgot
ten kings may take their places in
them
This first one is Il beautiful person
age. No one knows what king lie is
or whether it is merely an ideal figure
of majesty but it is certain that he is
the work of some fine fourteenth cen
tury craftsman.
The battered king is the grandest
statue in the hall Below him lie in
ghOstly row the kings done with the
petty realism of the modern age; i'm

plows which he believes were pulling
80 per cent harder than they should.
We are told that about so per cent
OF the draft of a pillow is due to the
cutting of the furrow slice. The con-
dition of the cutting edge must then
be of the first Importance. Expert
plowmen recognize this. and in com
petitions file their shares to knife
edges.
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown SO per
cent heavier draft than a new share.
Again, engine plows of the same make
and size have under the same cOndi-
tons showed IS per cent difference in
draft in favor of the new freshly filed
shares over resharpened shares in Ordi-
nary condition. 1t will certainly pay
to keen the plowshares sharp and in
proper form.
The set and readjustment of pillow
mas almost as much to do with the
draft as condition of the share. A rid
ing plOw with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than Il
walking pillow or. plows of the same
widths. Yet how many do it? About
so per cent of the draft of walking
pillow is due to the friction of the plow
on the bottom and side of the furrow
In the riding pillow this friction is
eliminated by carrying the weight and
down and side pressure OF pillow bot
tom on wheels.
TO accomplish this the rear furrow
wheel is set out about an inch and a
quarter so the Landslide cannot touch the
side of the furrow This wheel is also
set down so the heel of Landslide is rails
ed 0ne-half to three-f ourthS inch off
bottom of furrow. When so set the
pillow bottom will sink into the ground
and hang there. When pillow bottoms
float in the frame none of the bot
tom and side pressure is removed, and
the draft of the bottoms is the same as
that OF walking plows, to which must
be added that due to weight of pillow
frame and frame and driver
