the offense. He pleaded guilty and
States Attorney James B. Campbell re-
cited the story of his career in this vi

Johnsbury from Chicago about two
months ago and obtained employment at
the scale shops where he stayed but a

thinking that Mr.. Wood had recommend.

farms, but he did not give satisfaction
and several articles were missing when
he left. Following this the Vail school
would have nothing more to do with him.

In court he refused to give his record
or say anything at all about himself and

said he had nothing to say. Judge Slack
in sentencing him said that he was very

Grandmother Was the Druggist.

In the early days of our country,
grandmother was the druggist, and her
drugs consisted mostly of roots and herbs
gathered from the fields and forests.
There was peppermint for Indigestion,
mullen for coughs, skullcap for nervous
ness, thoroughwort for colds, NORWOOD
for bruises and sprains, and so on. They
were successful remedies, too. 1t was from
a combination of such roots and herbs
that Mrs. Lydia F. Pinkham of Lynn,
Mass, more than forty years ago, orig
mated her now famous Vegetable Com
pound; and during all these long years
no other remedy has ever been discovered
to restore health to ailing women SO sue

Do stones Grow?

To speak very correctly. only organic
things grow, though inorganic things,
money for instance, may increase in
size or quantity. Stones do not grow,
they happen. In some way or another
they have been Clipped Off from rocks,
or hardened from clay or similar nod
ules. Sometimes they have been rubbed
smooth. or partly so, by friction. But
although they may be added to in some
rare instances by coatings of hardened
mud, they certainly do not and cannot
grow" as do living things. by any
power within them.
