Lectures Windham County.
(Benninoton Banner.l


The experience of Bennington coun
ty fish and game warden in Windham
county Sunday proves to some degree
what the fishermen of the rest OF
the state have long had reason to
believe, that the fish and game laws
are more generally violated in Windhan
than in any other county in the state
The Banner has Joined with other pa
pers of the state for several years III
trying to "jolly' the men of Windhan
county into taking up and settling this
issue themselves, but they have SO
far failed to do it. They do no.
seem to realize that it would be the
best thing possible for themselves and
for their sport. In Bennington county
it has for several years been growing
more and more popular to live mp to the
law and we have found it profitable to
do so from the standpoint of the sport.
We have our violators and fish hogs
still with us, but they are decreasing
| in number and growing more and more
| disliked. Windham county has q
wealth of beautiful streams and ponds
and many miles of the magnificent
Connecticut. Properly conserved there
/ is water enough III Windham county tC
furnish first class fishing to every resi-
dent and visitor. The reckless. thought
| less and selfish fisherman declares that
years ago when there were no fish laws
the fishing was better than it is today
/ The argument is faulty. Years ago tho
soil raised bigger crops than it will to
day without special treatment. The fer
/ tiIitv of the soil has been reduced 10y
constant cropping and needs to be re
:, inforced by adding crop elements ans
intensive cultivation. When this i
done the crops are larger and bette
than ever 1t is precisely the same witt
the fishing. The streams have beer
depleted by careless and reckless fish
ling. Some of them have been RUNE,
by sewage and sawdust and by tn
introduction of undesirable varieties o
fish. We need to treat our streams an,
Iponds somewhat as we need to treat on
| soil. Restock them with desirahl
members of the fish family. protec
i. them from the SHINING methods of tn
fish hogs, take fish only in season an,
lonlv fish permitted by the legal restric
tions imposed-perhaps sometimes mis-
takcnly but in an honest effort to in
prove the fishing. One thing more need
. ed is to treat the land owners as neigl
= bors and friends. Keep out of thei
crops don damage their property pa
them if they render service don t leav
gates open, and ask permission when i
: doubt If Windham county will folio,
oil this plan we believe it win receive
new revelation of the gospel of In
gentle art of fishing.

Cooking is a powerful moral agent,
capable OF influencing mems opinions
and feelings to a great extent. Some
may think that in speaking of cook
ing, as moral agent, l am greatly ex-
aggerating it's power. and they may
regard it as an idle folly if I go still
further and say that cookery is not
only a powerful moral agent in regard
TO individuals, but may be of great
service in regenerating a nation be-
lieve that cooking schools for the
wives and daughters Of workingmen N
this country, will do more to abolish
drinking habits than any number IF
teetotal associations.-Sir T. Lauder

BOLTS HIT TWICE, TWO KILLED
Tree Near Washington Struck Second
Time Soon After First

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The old
theory that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place was shattered
when a tree in front of the admins
tration building of the Seventh Day
Adventists in Tacoma Park, Md, not
far from the Washington city line,
was struck twice within half an hour
yesterday. The second bolt killed a
man and a boy and seriously injured
a third person, all of whom were in
specting the damage done by the first
one.
The injured arc: Augustine J. S.
Bourdeau, Al years old, until recently
business manager of the periodical de
partment of the Review and Herald
Publication company, the organ of the
Seventh Day Adventists, and Edwin
Andrews, II years old, son of Charles
N. Andrews.
Marguerite Bourdeau, years old,
daughter of Augustine j. S. Bourdeau,
received part of the heavy voltage
that killed her father and is in a seri-
Gus condition, but will recover.
When the fatal flash came the storm
apparently had subsidized.

President Wilson s problem has been
made more than ever difficult by the
Orduna incident, assuming that the ac-
count of the submarine attack is true.
The Cunard liner was bound away
from England, was unarmed and car
ried no contraband. If she sought to
evade capture after having been or
dered to submit to search, the attack
from the German submarine was justi-
fed But if there was no preliminary
warning before the firing of a torpedo
at the boat, there is no excuse. 1t
was only by few feet that a tragedy
similar to that of the Lusitania es
capped a record in Germany 5 already

A novel proposition before the New
calls for the legislative session to be
held the first week in every month of
the year; and it is not half so crazy an
idea as at first appears. Three weeks
with the people and one week carrying
out their wishes would improve the
records of a good many legislators. The
plan would not be feasible in a small
state like Vermont on account of the
expense, but it would be likely to pro,
duce good results in states like New
York and Massachusetts, which DO not
hesitate at immense expenditures and
which are in q political turmoil all the
time.

Nt'TTI III s-IIt-I'I Z NIIVII. J
If actions speak louder than words,
how are we to regard the submarine at
tack on the steamer Orduna, bound for
the United States with 227 passengers
and no munitions of war aboard? This
attack was delivered without warning
and at the peril of the lives of all the
human beings aboard the ship, of which
q were citizens of the United States.
Must we assume that this was intended
to be another "accident,'' to be apol-
ogized for If it succeeded, but to be
repeated at the next opportunity that
presented itself?

Learr to Write Well.

First legibility. second sightliness should be the endeavor in handwriting and let the character" and the ''indi- viduality" take care of themselves. If you wish to devise q signature hard to forge that is another thing. but ones everyday handwriting should be plain and as good looking as one can make 1t. The art of writing d neat. legible. well punctuated. correctly ex- pressed and spelled letter should be- long to every high school graduate. much more to every college graduate. and the thanks of the community are due to those who are testing and try ing to improve our methods of educa- ton; but they must remember that the letter style is properly more loose and conversational than any other and therefore should not be criticised in just the same way.-kate Upson Clark in Leslie's.

THANKING MAIL MATTER.
At One Time Soldiers In This Country
 Enjoyed the Privilege.


 The postoffice was first established for the principal and in some countries for the exclusive purpose of carrying official correspondence by mail. Later in France, Great Britain and the United States because of the great ex- pansion and commercialization of the postal system the free carriage of mail matter came to be regarded as privl- lege and this privilege was claimed by persons in official position.
 In England the house of commons claimed the privilege as early as 1860. It was abolished in Great Britain. however, by the passage of Rowland's cheap postage measure in 1S39 In the United States the first appearance of the franking privilege is traceable to the action of the Continental congress assuming control of the postoffice in January. 1776. It is interesting to learn that it was then granted to all private soldiers actually in service for all letters they might write or that might be written to them.
 In the early years of the United States government the privilege was granted widely. but it soon became necessary to restrict it. An act of March 3, 1S45, limited the privilege to the president. the vice president. meln- bers and delegates in congress, the third assistant postmaster general and all postmasters. Other offices were di- rected to keep quarterly accounts of postage.

Mystery of a Bridegroom.

The mysterious disappearance of a bridegroom at wedding is recalled by T. r. Thiselton Dyer in his Strange Pages From Family Papers. The wedding took place in Lincoln shire about the year 175O "In this in stance the wedding party adjourned after the marriage ceremony to the bridegroom's residence and dispersed. some to ramble in the garden and others to rest in the house till the dinner hour. But the bridegroom was suddenly summoned away by a do nestle who said that a stranger wish ed to speak with him. and hencefor- ward he was never seen again. All kinds of inquiries were made. but to no purpose. and terrible as the dismay was of the poor bride at this ineX plicable disappearance of the bride groom. no trace could be found of him."

 At last we are set down ill the midst of Damascus, city that can claim life without break from it's founding back ill the dim dawn of the worlds history. When Abram crossed the des- ert from Haran 4OOO years ago this city was standing Genesis xiv, 15, and XIV, 9. She dates back to the time of the Pharaohs in Egypt In fact. she was old when Greece and Rome were striplings in years. Rome may be termed the Eternal City, but Damas- GUS is twice as old, and though her streets have run red with blood ot battle and rapine many times. she has not been overthrown.
 Babylon is an heap in the desert. and Tyre ruin on the shore," but Damascus remains.
 Was there ever such a place to see the nations of the earth parading to- gether? Here in the market place are motley crowds of Persians. Moors. Af- ghans. Indians. Egyptians. Sudanese Jews, Bedouins. Druses, Turks. Euro peans. The streets-so crooked, so mar row, so dirty. so full of life, with that strange spell of the desert upon them! The residences as seen from the street are ugly and disappointing enough yet like old barns and tumbledown mills at home are fascinating and pic turesque.-Christian Herald.

THE ART OF SELLING.
Real SaIesmanship Is a Light That
 Can't Be Obscured.

The boss wants lockers, because be knows the locker of today is the buyer of tomorrow and he wants to make the lockers feel that his store is "the best place to trade" which is only an other way of saying that it is the best place to do ones looking. lie also knows that the locker of today can sometimes be converted into a buyer before the day is over. All he requires to accomplish what he desires is sales manship among his salespeople.
 Does he get it? Not from all of them. If he did there would be less need for commissions to inquire labo- riously into the relation between shop girls wages and shopgirls' chastity. for real salesmanship will get the money wherever it is practiced and by whomsoever it is practiced. Real sales manship is one light that can't be hid den under bushel. It's light that can't be obscured. It's light that will shine above department heads and foorwalkers and reach clear up to "the old man" in his private office. if you keep it burning long enough.
 What is salesmanship? No one quite knows. But if you will take care of the lockers, if you will make all the lockers pleasantly remember what you showed them and how you showed it to them when they were merely look ing. you will have mastered one very | important branch of retail salesman ship.-ColIier's Weekly.
