,
Hyde Park, the home of
Senator Page, carries the
honorable distinction of hav-
ing the largest bank in the
world for a village of its
size.
"Slch an exceptional thing
is distinctive and it is worthy
of mention. To us it has
not been known until now
that such distinction has
come to Vermont.
"Of course it did not come
to this State and neighbor-
hood without reason, In
fact it came through hard
work, good management,
careful and honest dealing.
In brief, it attai ned that dis

Thanks to the News for
the very pleasant compli-
ments extended to Lamoille
county. We think the report
that the News says it has
recently heard that Clyde
Park, ithe home of Senator
Page, carries the honorable
distinction of having the
largest bank in the world for
a village of its Size" is un-
questionably correct.
If anybody is curious
enough to take the time to
investigate the matter and
finds that it isn't true, we
will make our humble apollo
gies.
What strikes us in the
above statement Of the News
as being particularly peril
nent and happy is that it has
diagnosed so correctly what
we think are the true reasons
why Hyde Park enjoys this
unique distinction.
AS rule, things don't
come in this world unless
there lis a reason for thei1
coming. The farmer swhc

the one who is .everlastingly
vigilant to see that his cows

The best lawyer is usually
the one who has been tn,
most diligent, painstakini
and persistent in studying
the underlying principles o
law.
The News is unquestion
ably right when it says tina
the growth of the Hyde Par
Bank came through har
work, good management an

SEEMED PLEADING FOR LIFE
Dogs Last Hours Indefinitely Post
pGned When He obeyed Advice to
Say He Prayers.

A little dog. unlicensed. had been
found in the streets and taken to the
pound. He WIS an affectionate animal.
and greatly endeared himself to all
about the place. They called him
Chum. and he joyfully responded
whenever his name was spoken As
the days passed, other poor, homeless
dogs were put to death. Finally came
Chum's last day Of grace, and no one
had come to claim him.
The next morning dawned, and the
man who was to kill Chum called him
into the yard Chum danced and
wagged his tail, no doubt thinking
something good was in store for him.
The man then said, We'll, Chummy.
your time has come. You'd better say
your prayers"
Immediately the little forepaws
were crossed. the little head bowed.
and Chum said his prayers As the
little body was still in this attitude OF
reverence a step was heard. The at.
tendant looked up and saw the super
intendent standing there. There were
tears in the eyes of each.
Chum is still living; but instead Of
being nobody's dog he is now every
body's. Sunday Magazine of the Chi

on His Beat, Also OF His Base.

The editor of the Lake Charles
American Press takes the late
criticism of the Grant parish po-
lice jury by the grand jury as a
text on which to condemn the
police jury system, and presents
his hobby of commission form OF
government instead of police ju-
rors. He gets out of his beat to
make his criticisms, and is off
his base" in his conclusions as to
the 'incompetency" of our police
jury. The police juries of Grant
parish will all compare favorably
in ability and integrity and sue
cessful administration with the
police juries of any of the parish
es, and the American is not at
all justified in its derogatory con-
clusions.

Work on Roads Should be Continuous.
For the past two months the
contractors who had the up-keep
of the model roads in charge
have been laid off by the police
jury. At the time work was
suspended the roads were in
splendid condition, owing to the
small amount of rain falling dur
ing the winter, but since that
time we have had some unusual
ly big rainfalls, and as a conse-
quence the roads have been
greatly washed and damaged,
and in some places are reported
to be in bad condition. 1t is a
mistake to discontinue the up
keep of our model roads for even
a short time. We hope the pc
lice jury will put their force tt
work on the model roads at once,
and require that it be continued
without intermission.

Old Measurements Of Time.

Sand glasses for measuring time
were made as soon as the art OF
blowing glass had been perfected by
the people Of Byzantium. These
glasses were used for all sorts OF
purposes, for cooking and for making
speeches, but their most important
use was at sea In order that ones
position at sea might be figured. 1t
was important In those early days to
know the vessels speed. The earliest
method was to throw over q heavy
piece Of wood of shape that resisted
being dragged through the sea, and
with a string tied to 1t. The string
had knots in 1t and the block Of wood
was called a log. The knots were 90
arranged that when one of them ran
through ones fingers in half minute
measured by sand glass 1t indicated
that the vessel was going at the speed
Of one nautical mile in an hour.

G. G. Lincecum Released.

At the preliminary trial of G..
G.. Lincecum, held in Alexandria
on Saturday, March %, arrested
on suspicion of being implicated
in the killing of Breckinrige
Starks on March IA, the accused
was discharged from custody.
The only evidence produced by
the State was the fact that the
bloodhounds used on the day af-
ter the tragedy struck a trail and
went to or near the home of the
accused.
Mr.. T. C. Lincecum, a brother
of G. G. Lincecum, writes US
from Selma, that our statement
two weeks ago that the dogs
trailed to the houses of r. G..
and G. G. Lincecum was not cor
rect. He says the dogs did not
trail nearer those houses than
within a half mile, on the day
the posse was searching for a
clue as to the party or parties
who killed starks.

HAD RIGHT BREAKFAST IDEA
In Days When overeatins Was Com
mon, EneIishman's Menu Was
Worthy Of Praise.

Queen Elisabeth, it is said, ate sew
cral kinds of salt fish. and sometimes
beef and mutton for breakfast, and
then topped IN with asgood deal of wine
and ale. i,f course. she lived in the
days before tea and coffee and choco-
late were used in England-hence the
alcoholic beverage for breakfast. Most
of Elizabeth's subjects ate as grossly
at breakfast as she did. and it is our
habit to believe that there were no
old-time advocates Of the light break
fast which most of US have come to &C
cept as the normal one today.
But at the time of Elizabeth there
lived one DIR. Tobias Venner who was
an ardent advocate Of the light break
fast. In fact. good old Doctor yenner
advocated no breakfast at all for those
whose work In life was not especially
active. To those whose work was
active Doctor venner was somewhat
ienient and advised little breakfast
Says he:
IF any man desire a.light, norishing
and comfortable breakfast. know
none better than couple Of poached
eggs, seasoned with little sauce and
a few corns of pepper, eating there
with a little bread and butter, and
drinking after a good draught Of claret
wine"
Substitute coffee for claret wine and
you have breakfast which q physi-
clan of the day might recommend to a
man who has been overeating.
