Bank TreaSurer'S Commission Re-
V0ked.

Although the bank officials have made
no statement, it is said that the Marble
Savings Bank of Rutland has revoked
the commission of treasurer held by
John J. Murphy, who disappeared from
Rutland the last Friday in November.
1t is said that the board of trustees of
the bank took the action at a special
meeting November %. 1t is probable
that the work will be carried on for the
present by Assistant Treasurer Lathrop
H. Baldwin, but the bank officials have
said nothing as to present plans. No
denial was forthcoming that Mr.. Muir
phys commission had been revoked,
says The Rutland Herald.
The last trace of Mr.. Murphy was

mobile that Mr.. Murphy left at Man
chester the night he went away has

Hunter Kills Pine Marten.

Nicholas Lyons. of the Lyons district,
Bennington, secured an excellent pine
marten while hunting for deer in Glas-
tenbury. He came upon a deer in a
clearing and shot at the animal, soaring
the marten which took to a tree. He
shot at the little animal with his deer
rifle and the bullet hit the marten with
out penetrating the flesh, striking its
head and stunning it so that it fell to
the ground. He thought it dead anG
started for camp with the unconscious
animal. Later it showed signs of life,
but was soon killed.
Marten peIts in this vicinity are not
as valuable as those procured further
north. A Canadian marten pelt is
worth in the vicinity Of S25 but as the
trapper comes further south the skins
grow lighter in color until they become
what is called tan martens" With a

Lyons secured, was about half way be-

And talked of the better land,
Where dwells immortal bands?
Blue-eyed sister.
Who chased the butterflies,
Where Nature blooms and dies:
And chased the bitter cries,
From Klndred's fondest ties?
Wee little brother.
Who planted seeds of Love
To upward grow and move:
Toward happy realms above
And Canaan's fairest grove?
My old school teacher.
Who taughtme thus by stealth,
And happy joyous health:
That | might gain by wealth,
A living Life or Death?
Grim old Nature.
And who shall lastly stand,
With foot on sea and land:
To read His great command;
And judge me from His stand?
The eternal God.
And who shall give that balm,
My every fear to calm,
And take me on His arm
To sing the Heavenly psalm?

VERMONT EXCHANGES.
Why This 'DeBlOre"

Almost every paper in the state
is deporjug as something fearful,
the slaughter" of so many deer
the present season, the number hay
ing already reached the four thou
sand mark, end the returns are not
yet all in. The question is, if it is
the wish Of the voters not to have the
deer killed, why 40 they not stop it.
The men make the laws and then
dep!ore the effect If the deer are
SO numerous that they become a
menace to the orchards and crops
of the farmers, why is it accounted
slaughter" to shoot them during a
period Of fifteen lays once a year /?
No one calls it slaughter" to catch
trout, they are beautiful in the
water and surely harmless. We do
not call it slaughter to kill lambs,
and calves or chickens or any of the
domestic animals used for food, so
why should the word slaughter"
always be used when referring to
the killing Of deer? 1t really can
be no worse to kill one animal than
another for food, if it is killed hu-
namely. This is not a plea for the
killing of deer, but it is a question
upon which the editor would like in
formation 49, Mortified News.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER II, 1916.

The most unreasonable argument
we have seen advanced by a few of
the prOhihitionists is the advocating
of the old town agency system and
setting forth by numerous testimon-
iaIs that alcohol is of no benefit in
the sick room. The first system
has been thoroughly tested and
found wanting, and too many sick
rooms have seen the benefit of alco-
hOl in different forms to call such
testimonials anything less than the
vapary emauatjoos Of pref Idiced

We travel on with patient tread
Unto that Goal, whose mystic gate
Will swing ajar wnen we are dead,

Where lies that bourne to which we 90?
Where is that Goal? We fain would

Hastes ever on through this brief life.
With hurried pace they speed along,q

They pass away and step inside.
