VIOLATED CHRISTMAS TREE LAW
P. w. Perkins, New York State Man, Fonnd
Guilty in County Court

In Washington County Court Wednes-
dav, April 9, the case of State against
P. w. Perkins of Taunersville, N. Y, for
selling Christmas trees without license
was taken up. The jury took the case
Thursday morning and after short DELHI
Grafton returned verdict of guilty. Mr..
Perkins was fined $500 and costs and
will take the case to Supreme Court,
where the ruling will be of vital import
ance to the State as if judgment is sus-
tanned the State may recover 25 cents
each for the thou sands of trees Mr.. Per-
kins is alleged to have shipped from
Washington and Lamoille counties in vio-
lation of the law. This was the first
case under the law and attracted much
attention.
The State introduced evidence to show
that Perkins sold evergreen trees last
winter, cut from farms in Waterbury and
Duxbury. Town Clerk and Treasurer
e. w. Huntley of Duxbury testified he
had issued no license to Mr.. Perkins and
that Mr.. Perkins had made no applca-
ton for a license. He also said he had
recorded no deed of properties enumerat-
ed to Mr. Perkins.
Town Clerk j. K. Fullerton of Water
bury testified that he had recorded no
deed of the properties named to Mr.. Per-
kns. G. W. Morse. town treasurer of
Waterbury, testified he had received no
application and issued no license to en-
gage in business as dealer in evergreen
trees.
William Hays, Charles Huntley and
other farm owners were placed on the
| stand to testify regarding their transac-
lions with Mr.. Perkins, none testifying
to sale of their property to Mr. Perkins,
except conditionally and the conditions
unfuifilled.
Act ITO of the Acts of 1910 provides
that "a person, firm or corporation that
buys or sells in any year more than 20
evergreen trees of less than seven inches
In diameter at The butt as cut, not grown
upon his own lind, shall be deemed a
dealer in every cen trees"
Inc dealer Is required to notify the
town treasurer of his intention to engage
In the business and pay license fee of
70 cents for each tree so cut, and must
also have a dealers license costing so
cents.
Each separate sale or transaction con-
stitutes a separate offense, punishable
with fine of not more than $500. The
listers are assigned the duty of counting
the trees cut and collecting the license
Zee.
States Attorney J. Ward Carver prose-
cuted the case, States Attorney NJ. P.
Maurice of Lamoille county being pres
emit with him. r. A. Hoar of Barre rep
resented Mr.. Perkins.
The defense was allowed a large num-
Der of exceptions during the presentation
OF the States evidence, being allowed an
exception on each separate question as
to the filing of deeds of property.
The defense put in no evidence. The
arguments for the defense were that the
land belonged to Mr.. Perkins VIXEN the
deeds were passed and not when the con
ditions of the deeds were finally consum-
mated. 1t was also argued that the fact
that the deed was not recorded did not
affect the ownership of the land as be-
tween the parties to the deed.

ONE IDEA OF PHILANTHROPY
Carmen sylvia Says If She Had a
Million She Would Build VAST
Cathedral.

What curious ideas some people
have on the subject of philanthropy.
Carmen Sylvia, queen of Roumania' is
tho latest to answer that ancient
question What would you do II you
were millionaire" She would build
vast cathedral with chapels IN u
for every religion, and she would also
bu,ld an art school. AS 1t is only
very small minority OF people VINO
over 20 to church or chapel, and those
that do 20 are usually OF the more
comfortable classes. 1t is to be feared
that Carmen Sylva's million would not

Most people have asked themselves
what they would do If they were mil
I,onaires. but the wiser among them
have contented themselves with say
ing what they would not do. A reso
lution to give nothing to any religious
or charitable organizations, with 9
very few exceptions, is a fairly SAFE

are incompatible with organization

FEMALE MAKES THE TROUBLE
Certainly in tho Case Of the Mosquito
They Are "More Deadly Than
the Male"

The attention of many Of our citl-
zens who hitherto have taken little IN
terest in chronological investigation
has been attracted to what they De-
lieve Is new variety Of mosquito, a
mosquito which in the course of eVolu-
ton has lost it's bark, but not Its bite;
that comes upon one unaWares, WIFI
out a musical accompaniment. What-
ever NAV be said against the insect 1t
should be set down to its credit that
It takes it's nourishment without mu-
sic. declining to give that additional
smart to ones misery. This active,
but diminutive specimen of the genus
Culex. now at the close of summer Is
begipning a work that will continue
until the first sharp frost. AS matter
of fact these mosquitoes that have had
no difficulty in pushing their way
through the smallest meshed wire
screens are all females, and for that
reason we hear no song. The males
are larger, perhaps cannot make their
way through the screens, and remain
outside, where they sing solos or join
in numbers and give hallelujah Choir
uses, and encourage the suffragette
sisters at their work inside. The sis
tiers have an Unsuitable thirst for blood,
while the mouth Of the male mosquito
Is not equipped for biting and he does
not come into our houses. While the
sisters are inside drinking blood the
more temperate fathers Of the family
era outside sipping rainwater.

story room. Eager for the first morn

at the half-dozen cottages across the

their window-eyes. They showed only
as hits of Misunderstanding, or CLEAN

through the boughs. She thought ev-
