BENNINGTON, VT, JAN. 81, 1918

Editor Whitehill of the Water
bury Record is being feliciated by
some of the newspapers upon his
election as treasurer of the Water
bury Savings bank. Rather should
he be commisserated. No editor
should have his professional work
distracted by being compelled to
look after the safety of his accum-
ulations.-Rutland Evening News.
The success of the Waterbury Rec
ord, a first-class weekly paper in a
small and limited field, Is sufficient
evidence that the guiding genius of
the enterprise is something more
than an editor Editors In Vermont,
as elsewhere, seldom have occasion
to use savings banks, to say nothing
of frequenting the little rooms re-
served for the meetings of the trus-
tees. There are a few publishers"
in Vermont who have been known to
at times possess more assets than
liabilities and we are forced to
conclude that the rotund dissemina-

OF the Contestants.
An extraordinary duel. which at the
time created an immense sensation.

rived at not by swords or pistols but
by means Of deadly poison.

to say. had fallen out over u lady had
left the arrangement of details tn their
seconds. and until they faced each 9th

they were to settle their differences
One of the seconds was doctor. and
he had made up for the occasion four
black pellets, all identical in size ana
shape.
"In one of these" he said, Il have
placed u sufficient quantity OF prussic
acid to cause the almost instantaneous
death of any one who swallows it. We
will decide by the toss Of coin which
of you is to have first choice, and you
will alternately draw and swallow Il
pill until the poison shows its effects. >
Two of the pellets we're then taken
as the toss bad decided, but without
effect in either case.

MONSTER WHALES.
A Dozen Men Might Stand Upright In
the Blues Bio Mouth.


Specimens of the blue or sulphur
bottom whale weighing seventy-tve
tons and measuring eighty-seven feet
have been known. The mouth is sutfi-
ciently large to permit ten or twelve
men TO stand upright In it, but the
throat measures only about nine
Inches In diameter.
The 'fnback," closely related to the
blue whale. has been called the grey
hound of the sea-" for its long. slender
body is built on the lines Of racing
yacht. and the animal can equal the
speed of the fastest steamship.
The "humpback" is the most inter
esting Of our large whales. because Of
the fact that its habits are more easily
studied than are those OF other mem
bers OF the family.
But most extraordinary of all is the
square nosed sperm whale. Instead
Of having plates Of baleen. this whale
carries row OF twenty TO twenty-five
heavy teeth on each side of the lower
jaw. These fit into sockets In the roof

EaYptian Justice.

In ancient Egypt all court business
was carried on in writing In order that
the decision might not be Influenced by
oratory or personal appeal. The laws
lay before the judges upon table. and
the accuser declared in writing how he
had been injured. whereupon the de-
PENDANT stated in writing what be had
to say. Then came rejoinder from
each party TO the case, after which the
judges deliberated among themselves
until they had hit upon the proper le-
gal penalty for the party who had 10
the meantime been adjudged guilty.
This point being reached. the president
of the judges touched with an Image
of Thmei the Goddess OF Truth" the
manuscript OF the guilty pleader. and
the case was over.-New York Ameri-

WEDS HER DYING FIANCE.
Bride of Fever Hospital Patient First
Had to Be Vaccinated.

Lebanon, Pa, July 30.-The death Of
Wallace Van Sickle of Macon, Ga, in
a hospital here revealed the devotion
of a young woman member of a promi-
nent Lebanon family, Miss Miriam
Bowman, to whom Van Sickle became
engaged. Shortly after the announce
ment was made he was stricken with
typhoid fever.
The date of the wedding had been
fixed, but it was postponed In the hope
Of Van Sickle's speedy recovery. There
was no change in his condition, how
ever, so it was decided that the mar
riage ceremony should be performed in
the hospital. The hospital, owing to
smallpox in the institution, was under
quarantine, but the authorities per-
mitted the young woman and a clergy
man to enter the place after they had
submitted to vaccination. The ceremony
was performed and the bride remained
at the bedside of her husband until he
died.
