A FAMOUS vERMoNTER.
Henry Mills Alden for Half Century Edi-
tor of Harper's.

Henry Mills Alden, who died in New
York at the age of 50 years after having
been editor OF Harper's Magazine since
1869. was born in Mount Tabor in 1886.
He received his education at school in
Hoosick Falls, ~ Y, and at Williams
college from which college he was grad
uated in 1857. He also was graduated
from Andover theological seminary three
years later, but never entered the min
istry. AT Williams he was a fellow stu
dent Of James A. Garfield, Horace NJ.
Scudder, George Washington GLADDEN.
and John ]. ingalls,.
Mr. Alden first became associated with
the Harpers in 1868, when he collabo-
rated with Alfred H. Guernsey on "The
pictorial history Of the rebellion Short
ly after this Fletcher Harper asked Mr..
Alden to take the office management of
the weekly. Mr.. Harper was the real
conductor of that periodical and Mr.,
Alden's duties were principally to select
stories and to write articles to accom-
pany the illustrations,
In 1859 Mr.. Alden undertook the edi-
torial management of Harper's Maya
zine. which position he had held ever
since. Mr.. Alden was an atfable man
to meet, very much absorbed in his work
and exceedingly loyal to his devotion to
the house of Harper & Bros. He believed
it was an editors function to edit rather
than to write, although he occasionally
had editorial utterances in the magazine,
and he revived the department entitled,
"'The editors study" which he person
ally conducted.
Mr.. Alden enjoyed some fame as an
author. In 1890, Sod in His World" was
published anonymously. Its success was
phenomenal, and had one very uncom-
mon feature. The fine spirits recognized
its distinction, hailing it as book that
would appeal to the select few; neverthe-
less the average reader was somehow
attracted by it, bought it for himself
and recommended il to his friends. Low.
ell and Stedman. among the poets, Blsh-
ops Phillips Brooks and L. D. Hunting
ton. among the divines, declared that
il was "inspired," or spiritual or won
derful," or filed with the great things
in which ones soul finds more and more
delight !" nevertheless 5000 or 10000 cop
les were sOIu ana III Lne newspapers VI
that year ii was spoken of as the most
successful work of religious thought Of
the season. "a Study OF Death" which
was Mr.. Alden's next book, was not pub
lished until five years later.
MIR. Alden was twice married the first
time in 1861 to Miss Susan F. Foster,
OF North Andover, and the second time to
Miss Ada Foster Murray of Norfolk, Va,
in 1900.

THINKS HIMSELF MILLIONAIRE.
Escaped Lunatic, Well Armed, Makes
Things Exciting Round Belvidere.

Morrisville, Oct. John Coats, a man
who escaped from an insane asylum in a
far western state, has made his way to
this section, having sister living in
Johnson, has caused the officers about
here some wild times and is still at
large
Monday night he was frightening the
people of Belvidere and officers went
there and located him in a room at the
j. o. Thomas boarding house, He was
asked TO come down, but replied by
sending bullet through the door over
the officers heads and with the state
ment that he would hurt them if not let
alone until morning, when he would see
them. As he was armed with repeat
ing rife, heavy revolver and plenty Of
ammunition, 1t was thought best to wait
until morning rather than start an ar
gament, but during a wind and rain
storm about a. m. the next day he
escaped through the window of the room,
dropped silently to the ground and dis
appeared. Officers are still searching for
him.
His sister notified them to look out
for themselves as he. is reputed TO be a
dead shot, from long practice in the min
ing regions of the west and would sure
ly shoot to kill if brought into close
place.
His mania seems harmless enough, as
he imagines he is millionaire and is
giving out checks to any he thinks needs
them in sums OF S25 TO $500

it to any woman who suffers as did,"
Mrs. ELIZABETH MAY, RID. No. !,
Columbia, Pa.
The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is so successful in over
coming woman's ills is because it con-
tains the tonic, strengthening properties
of good old fashioned roots and herbs,
which act on the female organism.
Women from all parts of the country
are continually testifying to its strength
ening, curative influence, and the letters
which we are constantly publishing from
women in every section of this country
prove beyond question the merit OF this
famous root and herb medicine.

A Cali for $4,000 Census Enumerators.

The director of the census Hon. Samuel
L. Rogers, announces that $4,000 enumer-
ators will be needed to take the next
census, and a month or more in rural
districts Rates Of pay will vary, depend
ing upon the locality and character of
the district to be canvsssed. The aver
age pay per enumeration at the census
of 1910 was about so. AT this coming
census it viii probably be not less than
500.
Active, intelligent, and reliable men
and women, not less than IS years Of
age, are needed for this task" said Di-
rector Rogers, and, in sense, this is
call for volunteers. The Importance
of complete and reliable census, espe-
cially in these critical times when more
than ever before perhaps we need com
plete data regarding population, condi-
tions, tendencies, and resources, can
hardly be over emphasized. The reorgan-
ization Of the social and economic strue-
ture and the readjustment of interna-
tional relations necessitated by the war
must be based on accurate knowledge II
we are to act wisely and deal Justly with
all classes and all interests. Ii is hoped,
therefore, that public spirited energetic
people throughout the country will vol
unteer to act as census enumerators
even though they may not care for the
positions so far as the pay is concerned,
| should be sorry to think, and ! do not
believe, that all our patriotism was used
up by the war and none left over for
public service in times Of peace"
G. Herbert Pape, supervisor of the cen
sus for the second district of Vermont,
which includes the counties of Caledo-
MIA, Essex, Orange, Orleans, Washington,
Windham and Windsor, states that he
will need about 100 enumerators for this
district. Applications or requests for APP
plication forms should be sent to him on
or before Oct, Is. His address is Barre,
VT. As q test of their fitness for the
work, applicants will be required to fill
out sample schedule and will be duly
notified of the time and place for this
test. SO far as practicable the place Sc
lected will be one which is easily accessi-
Bile.

death from tuberculosis. The committee
must agree to keep this information
strictly confidential
"The results of the surveys shall be
presented to the district board of direc-
tors and the board shall decide in what
town the district health nurse shall
work

the names listed on the survey Her
work shall be done in cooperation with
the doctors and under the immediate
supervision of the local committee and
the district health officer.
"The nurse shall next arrange with the
local doctors for opening health station
where medical examination and advice
shall be given. The nurse shall report
each case and help the patients to carry
out the treatment prescribed at the
health station. In this way, the whole
district will eventually be covered.
"The district health nurse shall also
visit and help those who have been dis.
charged from tuberculosis hospitals, the
Vermont sanatorium and the prevento.
rum.
Soldiers discharged on account of tn.
berculosis. Two hundred and forty-fve
soldiers have been discharged from the
army on account of tuberculosis. The
association has endeavored to get in
touch with all of these cases. The dis
trict health nurse will call upon them
and urge them to be examined if any
suspicious symptoms develop.
This systematic work will be the
means of saving many lives and control
ling the spread OF the disease to others
it also will show just how great a need
there is in each district for a tuberculosis
hospital or ward"

NUMBER OUT OF
WORK is LARGE
Many J0bIess Applicants Turned
Away ut Employment Bureau
Because Of Small Demand.

More Iaborers, skilled and IN
skilled, are applying for jobs at the
Illinois free employment bureau
than can be accommodated with
work according to f. ". Rinck,
superintendent
Demand for work falls far below
the supply Mr. Rinck stated, this
being true especially regarding
skilled workmen. A slight increase
has been noted in the number of
common laborers requested during
the last few days, but few calls
have been received for tradesmen.
A large number of soldiers make
application for work at the en-
ployment Office each day. The ma
fority OF these men are strangers
to this vicinity but express a de-
sire to locate here. Many are Of
necessity turned away without
Jobs, however. Quite a number Of
men who left the arsenal for army
service now find themselves with
gut a position due to the slacken-
ing in war work.
In order that as many as pos
sible Of these soldiers be given po-
sitions, Mr.. RinCk desires that any
employer who might require lab
orers and who prefers TO hire re-
turning soldiers should notify him
at tho employment Office and the
men will be sent as requested.
Although several local concerns
have begun building construction
OF a minor character and accord
ingly have requested more common
Iaborers, the demand, according to
Mr.. Rinck, is not sufficient to
nearly approach the influx OF job
less applicants each day.

Mr.. Reynolds writes:
Dear Sir: You are Of course
thoroughly familiar with the organ
izatiOn Of the council of defense
system throughout the country. In
der the council of national defense
in Washington, consisting Of the
secretaries of war, navy, interior,
agriculture, commerce and labor,
and with Groesvenor B. Clarkson
as director, there has been built up
under the governors of the As
states a complete defense system
now consisting in addition to the
state organization of 1000 coun-
ties, 10000 women's divisions, and
some 1914 900 community and mu-
nicipal units. This great field ma
chinery has represented the people
of the United States in Washing
ton and has carried through to the
smallest community the problems
and measures of the national gov
eminent during the war.
In Washington the council of ma

1t had not originally been the in

Gil Of defense system beyond the
date of the signing of the armis-

handling problems in which the
cooperation of the people through
