is sometimes slow, but is always sure
Nobody knows the origin of the disease,
which first appeared in New York in 1904

loss from the devastation is indicated by
the statement of the forestry department
that the annual value of the chestnut
products of this country, not counting
the nuts, has been about $20,0OO000.
In some years the farmers of Yer
non, Hinsdale, Chesterfield and other
towns near Brattleboro have received
large returns from the railroads in the
sale of ties cut from the chestnut growth.
The blight is reported to be general in
our local section. 1t will eventually
bring large loss to some land owners, par
ticularly in the little town of Vernon,
where there are more chestnut trees than
in all the other towns of Vermont.

A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW.

Some years ago one of the popular
illustrators drew for magazine pie
ture entitled "For He's a Jolly Good
Fellow 1t showed a clubroom; good
looking young men, whose faces were
flushed with wine, stood, with lifted
glasses, and sang their toast to one
who stood at the head of the table. He
was evidently greatly gratified. He
looked as if he thought it supremacy
worth while to have his masculine
friends, late in the evening, so demon
strative over his social qualities.
But there was another side to the
picture. 1t showed the home of the
|' good fellow, where his young wife
sat waiting for him. His house jacket
was laid over a chair. He had planned
to spend the evening at home, and
had not been strong enough to do it.
Meanwhile the young wife had wait
ed, watching the big clock count the
hours. Now it was past midnight. 1t
was not the first time that it had hap
pened, or the second; it would not be
the last by any means.
1t was not simply the disappoint-
ment, the loneliness that made the
young wife lay her head on the table
She wept because she knew that she
had married a wealSling. She saw that
it meant so much to him to be regard
ed as "jolly good fellow that he
gave up other things infinitely great
er. She had learned that his good-fel-
lowship had in it selfishness and weak
ness.
It is pleasant to be called good
fellow but it IS shameful thing if
we gain it through another's needless
suffering, or at the cost of our own
selfrespect and manhood.

PARDON ISSUED BY LINCOLN.
Valuable Historical Paper Found in
Files of District Court.

RUTLAND, May 19.-While check
ing up some papers in old eases Clerk
Fred S. Platt of the United States
district court of Vermont found in one
of the files in his office in this city a
well preserved copy of pardon issued
by Abraham Lincoln as president of
the United States and bearing Lin
coin S signature in his own handwrit-
ing as well as the original signature
of William II. Seward, then secretary
of state in the martyred president S
cabinet. The document is finely pre-
served, being entirely hand written,
and the signature of the officials are
as plain as though they had been made
yesterday.
The pardon was issued to Ebenezer
Bickford, who was indicted in the dis
trict court of Vermont in 1859 and
was sentenced to four years impris-
onment for pension frauds. The par
