Guy Kidder has on display at the
parlors Of the Dugas barber shop, in
9 glass jar, a dead mosquito, which
Niciously attacked him Saturday night.
Guy thought that he heard q SOUND
similar to a certain keynote on a: piano,
scientists claim that the buzzing of
mosquito is very similar to this)
and therefore looked about the room to
md the origin of it, when he spied a
big mosquito circling over his head.
Mot for moment did he think that
this was the mosquito g signal of a.
tack and he reached out his hand as ii
to entreat it to come to him. His hama
had barely been extended when the
vicious beast settled on the top Of it
and slipped from it so much of the
purple fluid he lost nearly all vitality
and was unable to kill it. He finally
succeeded in removing it from his hand
and encased it in a glass jar, where it
was left to it's fate.
This was not the end of the affair,
however, for the sting effected by the
mosquito caused the hand to swell to q
great size, and on Monday morning,
when asked by one who had seen the
battle how his hand was, Kidder show
ed him an abcess about the size Of a
hen g egg.

GROUNDH0G DAY

Monday was grounding day. Ac-
cording to the old tradition if the sub
shines on that day so that the ground
hog can see his own shadow he will re-
tire to his winter dwelling for another
six weeks, during all of which time
the cold weather will continue. Should
he come out and 4ail to see his shadow,
it is said that he remains outs, and
then the spring weather is sure to
start within few days.
Local people who observed the sky
on that day state that throughout the
entire day it was cloudy and that snow
fell. This would mean that the spring
will start within the next few days or
a week.
People who were at Brainerd that
day state that the grounding was
greeted with cloudy weather and snow,
but st. Cloud on the other hand was q
city Of sunshine, and the grounding at
that place was frightened back to his
winter quarters for another six weeks.
The residents of St. Cloud claim that
they do not need a grounding to bring
spring weather, however, as their
granite city is always a city Of sun
shine and pleasant weather. -:

TERMS
PROUTY FOR SENATOR.

Naturally the Monitor is pleasedsa at
the Prouty senatorial movement as 1t
is developing. This paper was, we
believe, the first to advocate Mr..
Prouty for this position. The Monitor
did it believing that he was the one
man qualified above all others for the
position and from the start talked
Prouty on a non-partisan basis. When
he refused to enter a campaign and
become a candidate for the position
the Monitor still contended that he
should serve the people in the capacity
of senator should they desire it. He
has finally consented to do SO.
In the course of a letter to Mr..
Turnbull, president of the first Prouty
club, dated only February &c. Mr..
Prouty says:
Deeply as I appreciate the sentiment
of my friends in Vermont, | feel that
I cannot be, directly or Indirectly, a
candidate. It is inconceivable to me
that any man can be elected to that
place who is not prepared to make a
fight for himself. You think other
wise. Should you be right. then l
repeat here what [ said to you at
Burlington such an election would not
only be an unparalleled honor which |
should deeply appreciate. but would be
in the nature Of a command from my
fellOW-V ermOnterS which | should feel
bound to obey.
This is plain and clear. He is in no
fight for the place but entirely at the
services of the people if they want
him. Could any position be more
upright, straightforward? Mr.. Prouty
really measures so far above party
lines that except for a few ''peevied'
Progressives, a bunch Of "sink OF
swim" Republicans and handful OF
'Whether-or-no" Democrats, the rank
and file of the voters of Vermont are
for Mr.. Prouty.
The Monitor commend5 C. A. Prouty
for senator to every voter in the state
of Vermont who stands on his own
bottom, knows the right man for the
right place when he sees him and
Irrespective of party. creed Or "pre
vious condition of seryitude," wants {;
servant of the people to represen
him in the halls of Congress.

Al o her WesternVermonterH Heard from

Mr.. Editor
Am mailing you enclosed sheet,
which. however. gives but faint idea
of magnitude Of project, or beauty Of
location. 1t is intensely interesting to
watch building and growth of project
of this kind, as we'll as building and
growth of the city of San Diego as
whole.
We appreciate and look for Monitor,
as an old friend, also. we realize your
country paper. Please bear in mind,
intense interest old residents of Yer
mont, away from their native state,
have in the old. common subject of
weather conditions, also, in their
season, crop conditions. We don't
know whether snow is one or four feet
deep or whether conditions are
normal. or winter unusually severe.
We have Vermont society here of
sixty members, of which Mrs. Esty
and myself are charter members.
Quite a delegation of Derby people
reside in our part of city, which makes
it more homelike. We are getting an
abundance of rain, which will ensure
bountiful crops. G.. J. Ufford's letter
as printed in recent issue of Monitor,
only voices sentiment of every loyal
Vermonter, who resides outside of
state We regret passing away Of so
many of our old friends, and acquaint-
ances. and realize changes are con-
stantly taking place.
Sincerely yours,
