: OF WINDSOR DEAD
The End Came Suddenly at the

tative-elect in the general assembly of

o'clock, and were in the lobby await
ing supper when Mr.. Cole was taken
i'll. 1t was at once seen that his con-
dition was serious and while he was
being assisted to- his room a doctor
was called. Mr. Cole retained con-
sciousness, and was able tostalk with
those around him, although enunicia'
ton was difficult. The physicians i'm
mediately diagnosed his case as

moval to the hospital. He sank rap
idly until the end came just before

STRIPPING STATION
Will Rear Pike at West Milton on
Lamoilie River

Burlington, Dec. 5-A spot on the
Lamoille liver in West Milton near
the iron bridge has been selected as
the stripping station where Vermont
and Massa chusetts will unite their
efforts 60 increase the number of
pike in the two states. Several in
expensive buildings will be erected
for those engaged in the business to
live in and an artificial fish pond
will be made to hold the fish until
they are ready for stripping.
One of the items of the agreement
entered into between the states is that
Massachusetts, will send smelt eggs
to Vermont. These will be planted
in the ponds and lakes where game
fish such as bass and pike are found
The mission of the smelt will be to
furnish food for the other fish so that
the latter will not eat their own tribe.

war and on the threshold of victory
it's men and women feel the greatest
inspiration in helping the disabled
man, but when the tumult and the
shouting cease-as Brother Kipling
puts it-and the war is completely
over and the country has settled down
to its normal work again, the country
may not forget but the individual
has his own cares and worries, joys
and interest.
The country may, by pension or by
insurance, give a small need of sup
port to the mutilated man but it can
also give him the only thing you and
/ care a real hang for-the chance to
do our share in the work of the
world When | can't do some useful
work ] want to quit. If ever have
my arms and legs cut off l want some
body to make me a set of steel teeth
and teach me to bite scallops in the
edges Of oak table tops. want to be
doing something useful.
Every rian and woman has this
same feeling and he never knows how
deep it is, and how necessary work
is to happy life, until he can't work.
To give the handicapped man a
chance to do work is to give him the
only opportunity for real happiness.
Then he can look up at the sky every
night and say, II too, am doing my
work in your world, o Godv That
strikes me as being a lot better than
looking up at the sky at eventide and
saying, II could not do useful thing
today, o Lord! but on the first of
next month I'll get $19.64 pension
money"
Don't try to think this thing out
abstractly. Think of yourself and
what you would like best if you lost
all of one arm and half of another
You would like to be taught how to
be independent by your own labor
/ You know you would.
( The greatest thing in the world to-
day, when this gigantic war has NUT
Hated its thousands upon thousands
I is to speed the good work of recon
structing these men. Reconstruction
does not mean merely building a new
arm that can work; it means recon
structing a life that has been wrench
ed from its old foundation and left
shattered, and constructing in it:
place new life of helpfulness, in
dependence and solid self-respect.

CRISIS IN SPAIN
People Restive and the Budget Shows
Deficit of $578, ,0O0, 900 sa

Paris, Dec. 5-A great political
crisis seems to be threatening Spain,
which it is doubtful if even the popu-
larity of King Alfonso can overcome.
The Government is largely in the
hands of reactionaries and clericals.
The middle and working classes, who
are not represented, accuse the Gov
ernment of inefficiency. The budget
officially shows a deficit of $578,000,-
900. There has been long continued
epidemic of strikes, and general
strike is said now to be threatened
in the important Asturia coal basin.
There is also discomfort in the
army, and finally Catalonia, includ-
ing the four provinces of Barcelona,
Corona, Lerida and Taragone, is
formally demanding autonomy. The
Catalohian program provides for
a sovereignty in all interior affairs
with parliament consisting of two
chambers, one elected by direct uni
versal suffrage, and the other by
municipal councils, with Spain exer-
cising authority in all matters of in
ternatonal relations, such as GUS
toms duties, diplomatic and consular
representation and social legislation.
The Catalonian delegates have
been received by the Madrid Govern
ment, but the latter is trying to de-
fer a decision. 1t is feared that if
Catalonia is given autonomy, then
Viscaya, Navarro, Guipuzcoa and
Alaba and other provinces viii also
demand the conversion of Spain into
o federal nation.
