Young was then told to get up but replied that he bad been stabbed and showed a large knife wound in the abdomen and that he died while being carried toa doctor.Another report says that after the

governor and the men whom he invited to represent Vermont at the recent White House conference on the preservation of national resourses, it was the unanimous sentiments that the next legislature should be asked to made a generous appropriation for the development of a state forestry department along the lines indicated, it being the general feeling that an expert state forester should be employed to devote his entire time to investigating Vermont's resourses and conditions, making experiments in reforestation, directing educational work, and giving personal advice to forest land owners; that a beginning should also be made in acquiring state forest lands under the management by such a state forester.It was thought that $10,000 annually was as small a sum as would suffice.In order to insure oareful deliberation as to the details it was voted to instrgot Prof.L.R.R.Jones, as president of the Vermont Forestry Association, to name a com- mites of four to act with him à a

suddenly and unaccountably became in funds, fitted himself with new clothes, and started for Iowa, via Portland.An application has been made for the requisition of Perham from Iowa.: Vermonters who are prone to grumble over the size of their taxes have reason for satisfaction that they are not called upon to pay such a sizeable state tax as the property owners in Massachusetts will be called upon to pay the present year.Indeed, were Vermont confronted by a financial discrepancy between income and expenses, equal to the deficit in Massachusetts, we should hear a tremendous cry against luxurious habits, jol- lowed by a demand for curtailment, no matter how the curtailment were to be secured.The budget in Massachusetts, as made up by the commit- the on ways and means, shows that the expense over-balance the income from all sources by $5,500,090, leaving that amount to be raised by direct taxation.That the discrepancy ie not larger is due it is said, to extraordinary vigilance on the part of the ways and means committee and Acting Governor Draper.The Barton Monitor says: Answering The Bernington Banner of Wednesday, May 27, it may be truthfully stated that there are many men in Vermont, who have connection in one way and another with the railroads, and at the same time are enthusiastic for the nomination of Prouty to the governorship.But in every instance these men have allowed their minde to expand beyond corporate intereste and ambitions.They are men who hope for a continuation of progress in Vermont, a continuation of an administration that was not fettered, bound and gagged in any way, or by anybody\u2014an administration that stood for the whole people and not for any particular class.In an administration with Prouty as the executive, they see advancement and to advance with them swells their pride in the state of their birth and the state they love.That's why broad-minded men with corporate interests advocate the election of Prouty, and The Banner is to be complimented for having ing given such an accurate list of men who are supporting Candidate Prouty.Prouty\u2019s Political Advertising Policy.Mr.Prouty\u2019s advertising policy ie apparently shocking some good old newspaper souls.Why should he not advertise his political ideas and purposes?The voters then know just what his establishment has to offer, and when they go there to trade and call for some of this advertised merchandise, the cry of \u201ctemporarily out of stock, but this is juet as good,\u201d won't go.Such advertising is all right, and we think that Mr.Proaty, to continue the figure, will have the Some of the press, it seems, have incorporated this paid advertising in editorial columns without anything to show ite advertising character.In this connection it

number of jhe Satardsy Evening Post.The writer goes on to describe a class of dwellings which are quite common in our Eastern Townships.He takes the ground that in many cases a mistake was made when the site for the farm house was chosen.Many of the best and often most imposing of these old houses having been built in a sheltering hollow of a hill, water must run in, around and through their cellars after a heavy rain storm, and if they were screened by a belt of woodland, this meant that they were liable to be damp a certain portion of the year.Some times these houses were built in an unsanitary place in order to be near some well or spring and convenient for the stock.The result of all this, according to this writer, is that the cellar of the old-fashioned house and of the average farm is an an exception.The object of the article in question is to urge the owners of such houses to make them more sanitary by better ventilation, and as far as possible, letting the sunshine in.There is little doubt that we do not appreciate the value of ventilation and sunshine.Distinguished authorities have often said that the one and only group of conditions under which disease germs can live and retain their malignacy antil they can be transferred to another human victim, is that offered by many old-fashioned houses, vix., darkness, dampness and absence of fresh air.According to this physician nine-tenths of our disease germs are not transferred directly from one person to another but lurk in the corners of rooms until they can spring upon the victim.Showing the value of sunshine he says that a large percentage of the germs of our deadliest diseases will die in from bhaif an hour to two hours in well lighted, well ventilated rooms, and many of them perish quickly in direct sunlight and in the open air.The \u2018\u2018yellow peril\u201d has no terrors for Sir Robert Hart.The Chinese, he said in an interview at Genoa, on Saturday, on his way home from Cbina, were likely to become formidable competitors, with the rest of the world in industrial and trading matters, but were not at all likely to cause any special trouble.Military development they considered not progressive but retrogressive.But at the same time they would be able to hold their own against all comers.The Old New England Farmer\u2019s Opinion of the Hyde Park Savings Bank.The managers of several savings banks have criticised very severely the Lamoille County (Vt.) Savings Bank because of its liberal use of the advertising columns of The New England Farmer and of the leading newspapers of Vermont.Nevertheless, the results achieved by this same course of action give the Lamoille County Bank the last laugh which is the proverbial best laugh.These are: Nearly a quarter of a million dollars gained in deposits in the last six months.Here isa convincing argument in favor of advertising.Hon.Carroll 8.Page, president of this prosperous and respected institution, believes in the liberal use of printer\u2019s ink and has employed it judiciously and successfully in the promotion of his own great business in hides, as our readers well know; building up a trade which has made the little Vermont village of Hyde |! Park world famous as a center for calf skins.The application of this business principle to the bank, seems to.be working equally well.The public has faith in Mr.Page and his business methods, approves his banking policy of home investments and nearby securities which inspire a feeling of safety and confidence wholly lacking in western investments.The Hyde Park Bank has been run for 19 years without losing a dollar and with this record it is not strange that the people of Vermont are putting their savings into it.Probably no man in New England, and we might safely include a much wider territory, has demonstrated so perfectly to the world and so agreeably to the people of his own state, the value of advertising as has Gov.Page.In using it to build up his own business and the financial interests over which he is chief executive, he has benefited immeasurably the obscure country community in which he is sit- vated, makihg it an important business and financial center for farmers for miles and miles around.This is what advertising will do when employed by a man of sound judgment and broad vision.Instead of critising such & policy other bank officials might well follow Governor Page's example; as other business men might learn a profitable Jesson from bis calfskin successes.\u2018This Bask pays 4 per cont.laterest, compounded somi-asauelly Shoe Polish Don't be deceived by imitations.It means long life to your shoës to be sure of Sin I BEC CENTRAL Que TIME TABLE.In Effect Oct.7th, 1907.LEAVING SHERBROOKE.BosToN & NEW YORK ExPREsS\u2014Leave Sher.brooke 7.80 a.mw.(daily except Sunday,) arrive Levis 1 p.m., arrive Quebec 1.1 Ba Pullman car Springfleld to Quebec and 1- man car Boston to Sherbrooke connecting Frith Pullman car from Springfleld for Que- Note\u2014Pullman car leaving Springfield on Saturday does not run beyond Newport on Sunday morning.PAssENGER\u2014Leave Sherbrooke 4.00 p.m.(daily except Sunday), arrive Levis 9.2 p.m., arrive Quebec 9.80 p.m.ACCOMMODATION\u2014Leave Sherbrooke 9.90 p.m.(daily except Sunday), arrive Levis 7.15 am., arrive Quebec 7.80 a.m.Also connecting trains on the Megantio Division.ARRIVING BHERBROOKE.BOSTON & NEW YORK EXxPRESS\u2014Leave Quebec 2.30 p.m.(daily except Sunday), leave Levis 8.00 p.m., arrive Sherbrooke 8.40 p.m.Pullman car Quebec to Springfield connecting at Sherbrooke with Pullman car for Boson.Note\u2014Pullmau carleaving Quebec on Satur day connects at Springfield with parlor car arriving New York 2.15 p.m., instead of at 10.85 a.m., as on other days.PASSENGER\u2014Leave Quebec 7.90 a.m., (dafly except Sunday), leave Levis 8.00 a.m., arrive Sherbrooke 1.10 p.m.ACCOMMODATION\u2014 Leave Quebec 6.80 p.m., (daily except Saturday), leave Levis 7.00 p.m., arrive Sherbrooke 9.10 a.m.Also connecting trains on the Megantic Division.For time tables, tickets and all information apply to any of the Company's Agents.J.H.WALSH, E.0.GRUNDY, General Manager.Gen.Pass'r Agt.LUMBER 1 am prepared to supply kiln-dried Basswood, Ash and other Sheathing, common Boards, etc., at my mill.W.S.\" COMSTOCK, Mack\u2019s Mills.LIBERATION.This certifles that I have this day relinquished my son, Gerald H.Huckins, the remainder of his minority and that I shall pay no more of his debts, nor claim any more of his earnings after this date.Fitch Bay, May 11th, 1908.FOR SERVICE.Castlemains M.C.(Imp.)

where the coo) nights invite refreshing sleep and where tired nature arouses itself anew.She lover of social gayety finds new fleld for enjoyment and perhaps triumph, while he who takes delight in quiet scenes, in fields and woods, finds ample scope in the abundance of wild and natural beauty in which the surrounding country abounds.This section is rich in all the wealth of glamour which history gives.For over two hundred years the valley south of lake St.Peter was the pathway of war, along which the ad- pventurous host of the Abenakis and Iroquois warriors\u2014the French, English and New Englanders\u2014alterately strode in battle array, and where in 1665 a fortress was established by De Tracy, and on account of ite incomparably pleasant surroundings, it was selected as the summer residence of the famous Governors of Canada under the old regime.These historical connections have brought thousands of people from far and near to view the spot where the outbreak of the long; dians and British soldiers began.The | remnante of the once famous Abena- kis Indians, for wbom the Abenakis Springe and Hotel are named, reside nearby in a little colony, supporting their own churches and schools.For centuries the Abenakis Mineral Water has been known to the Indians as the \u2018Waters of Life\u2019\u2019 because of its marvelous curative properties, and the Springs referred to as the \u2018Fountain of perpetual youth.\u201d The analysis of the water shows it to contain about 1051.41 grains of saline solide per imperial gallon.It is a specific for the care of rheumatism, gout, dyspepsia, kidney and liver troubles.Abenakis Springs Mineral Water, in competition with the waters of the world, received a Silver medal at the | Leuisiana Purchase World\u2019s Fair, St.Louis, Mo., 1904, being the highest award to a Canadian Mineral Water.It also received a Diploma at the Canadian Central Exhibition, Ottawa, Ont., 1905 and at the Provincial Exposition, New Westmiu- ster, B.C., 1906, these being also the highest awards.This section of the country is dotted with thatched-roofed houses and barns, old-fashioned bake ovens and \u2018well-sweeps, which gives it the appearance of a foreign land.A visit to Abenakis Springs is equal to a trip abroad.Here and there you will see a hand loom in operation, turning out linen just as it was made centuries ago.Theinhabitants of this section of the Province have ever been noted for heelthfulness, thrift, good morals, and that noticeable politeness so characteristic of the French people.The praise of this beautiful paradise, on which Nature has so bountifully bestowed her gifts, has been sounded throughout the land, and it ie not strange that her beauty has become more and more recognized and appreciated.\u201cIt fairy-land be half so fair, \u2018Who could but wish to linger there Through all the summer days?Who would not wish to stray Among these scenes so bright and fair, Where every pain and every care Take wings and fly away?\u201d FOR SALE The Coaticook Woollen Mill Co., are offering their entire plant, together with an established business, for sale.The mill will ran and business will be conducted Lill sold.The teams are on the road this season as usual.Custom work done as usual.Coaticook Woollen Mill Co.Coaticook, May 28, 1908.FASHIONABLE SHOES FOSTER BLOCK A.A.LAMOREY DERBY LINE, VT.FOR WOMEN OF TASTE Exposition, | Place was infested by rats that had !is not enough verdure on the island to THE RAT PLAGUE A French Scientist Says They are a Peril to the Human Race.(Paris letter in Now York Times] Rats as a menace before which humanity may disappear is a theme developed with disquieting precision by Dr.A.Calmette, a French scientist, in the current number of the \u2018Revue du Mois.\u2019 Dr.Calmette predicts that mankind will have to engage in a general warfare on rats before many more Years elapse it the world is to contiue tobe habitable.He points out that different couutries have different breeds of rate which are no great menace in themselves, which, in fact, are often useful.The peril comes from the migratory rat, otherwise known as the sewer rat, which has been evolved by civilization and which follows the march of man into every clime.Rats of other breeds have been known ever since man began to keep records of the things around him.The migratory or sewer rat is modern.The first mention of him was made only in 1620, when he was a native of Persia and East India.He did not invade Europe until the eighteenth century.At that time he was driven out of his old haunts by the widespread famine in those regions and of which he was largely the cause.Old chronicles report that millions of the vermin crossed the Volga in 1727.They made their appearance in Pruesia in 1750, and were first seen at Paris three years later.The newcomers were not welcomed.Within a week, sixteen thousand were slain.This made no apparent difference in the ranks of the invaders.- Pholo by Lyonds.Torouto.- W.A.FRASER ; Canada\u2019s Author, Artist and Engineer, Knowing the life of William A.Fraser, the books he has written seem in\u201c evitable.Each is the harvesting of certain distinct years of his living; renewed, revivified and transformed by his individuality.The nervous intensity of the writing, the incisive, forceful phrases, the keen observation, the humor, the originality, the sympathy with nature in all its phases, the artistic genius in catching instantly the essentials of a scene or an episode are characteristic of Fraser the man, as well as of Fraser the author.His books are himself; he writes because he loves to write, because he cannot help writing.Born in Nova Scotia in 1859 of Scotch parentage, his early school days were spent in Boston and later in New York.His unusual artistic ability early became manifest, and it seemed that he wns destined for à sculptor\u2019s life;

no stomach dosing in using Hyomei, no more than there is when you go to the mountains or the sea-shore to get relief fram lung troubles.When using the Hyomel treatment, the air you breathe is like that on the mountains high above sea level, where the pine woods fill the air with aromatic healing that gives health and strength to those euffering from diseases of the respiratory organs.Breathed through the neat pocket in- baler that comes with every outfit, the healtmg balsams of Hyomei reach the most remote air cells of the throat, nose and lungs, destroying all catarrhal germs and giving quick relief and cure.Hyomei has performed almost miraculous cures of catarrb, often restoring health in chronic cases that had given up all hope of recovery.Its best action is at the start of the disease, when the breath is becoming offensive and when discharges from the nose, droppings in the throat and frequent sneezing of spasmodic coughing begin to make life a burden.At the first symptoms of catarrhal trouble, use Hyomel and see how quickly you get relief and care.We positively guarantee Hyomel, for should you buy a complete outfit, price $1.00, and be dissatisfied results your money will be refunded.Hyomei is sold by druglists everywhere.Write for literature.R.T, Booth Co., Fort Erle, Ont.a A A - BR, fe î 2 fin dy A dee do Eh ; Ce Yrs repr raie yn The Stanstead Journal.PUBLISHED

Stanstead College were con- | cluded Friday night.The students in! the commercial and musical departments left last week, but the Academy and Model school pupils are; waiting on the government examinations this week.THE ALUMNI LUNCHEON.The gathering of the old \u201cGrads\u201d of | Stanstead College at the banquet, Friday afternoon, was in every respect a marked success.There was a little in excess of one hundred seated at the four tables that were laid by the Derby Line Hotel people in Odd Fellow\u2019s Hall, as the hotel dining room was too small to accommodate so large a company.The hall was very tastefully decorated with flags of the two neighboring countries and flowers.Carnations were used on the tables.Mr.D.W.Davis acted as toastmaster in the absence of Rev.A.Lee Holmes, who was denied the pleasure and uplift of the occasion by illness.Mr.Davis proved a very pleasing and apposite substitute for Mr.Holmes.He was very felicitous and happy in his introductory remarks, and his in- ate calmness and dignity of manber, while it allowed of more or less banter and fun, it held the speakers and banqueters to sufficient serious thought to make the occasion one of profit.MENU

teacher, to wilness such gratitude.Mr.J.Clarke Riley of Montreal, on the part of the alumi, in a few well chosen words, presented the Dr.and Mrs.Flauders a liberal purse of gold.Dr.Flanders, for himself and family, responded very tenderly and beautifully, reviewing in part his coming to take up the work, His allusion to the board of strong men that made up the personnel of the trustees at that time was of the deepest interest.His informal talk in appreciation of the hour was full of allusions to the fascinating, but trying years of labor that they have spent at Stanstead College, and his \u2018thank youall\u201d was the expression of a heart made tender by the friendships of years.\u2018The Alumni.\u201d \u2018Great souls by instinct to each other turn, Demand alliance and in friendship burn.\u201d Prot.Perry Dobson and Mr.Murray Brooks responded briefly to this toast.Mr.Dobson emphasized the importance to the College of the work the alumni could do in securing entrance students and also in aiding Mr.Bos- hart in his work of increasing the endowment, His remarks along this line were helpful to those who really love the College, and have its interests at heart.Mr.Brooks, through whose untiring efforts was largely due the gathering of the alumni at this meeting, referred to the obstacles he had been called upon to overcome in getting so many together, through the lack of records and organization, and he suggested the advisability of organizing an alumni association at this meeting, and his remarks led up to a vote for a meeting Saturday morning for the purpose of forming a permanent alumni association.The members present were unanimous in its endors- ment.The closing toast on the program, \u201cThe Ladies,\u201d was placed in efficient hands for the responses, that of Mr.Homer Vipond, of Montreal, and Mr.A.F.Bell of Westmount.Mr.Vipond was particularly happy in his brief bat spicy talk, concluding by implying through the medium of a very the

warrants us in concluding that the full amount will be secured in the time mentioned and poseibly earlier.His appeal to those at the banquet, for their hearty co- +» operation in this effort to place the College where it will be able-to go on with its work, without any financial handicap, was reasonable and fair, and I look for fruit of no mean proportions from this source.Mr.Bos- hart\u2019s allusion to the work done for the College by Dr.Bugbee, the Pierce and Holmes families and various otB- ers, was heartily applauded.Mr.Chauncy Adams of St.Johns- bury responded to the toast: \u201cDr.and Mrey Flanders\u201d \u201cWe do bring to thee \u2018ep and reverent love that greater With the years shall be.\u201d It was a pleasing, kindly, loving expression of appreciation of the Principal and bis wife.This young man\u2019s life story up to this effort of due commendation, is a very high compliment te the man and woman who were his teachers in his educational begin- ajags.It is the quality of the prod- \u201c of & factory that makes for success ifying success and a permanent organization of the alumni will insure its repetition on a larger scale in the years to follow, and its favorable in\u201c fluence upon the growth of the College cannot be measured.Those worthy of special mention in connection with the work of arranging for the meeting are: Mr.Murray G.Brooke, the decoration committee, Misses Nelson, Caswell and Stevens.The Orchestra contributed their services.The amount of the purse given Dr.Flanders was 8230.00.The guests of the Alumni were: Dr.and

voice, to the delight of all.Prof.A.H.Martin\u2019s report of the Eastern Townships College of Music was incomplete, in as much as the examinations held under the supervision of the Toronto College of Music were finished last Wednesday, and the report would not be returned for about two weeks.The prizes in this department were awarded as follows: For highest proficiency in piano, Alma F.Alger; greatest progress in piano, Eleanor Blair.Prize in vocal music, Ellen Cromwell.Prize for violin, Fred Turgeon.The department of elocution, under the supervision of Mrs.Sidney B.Tel- ford, gave the

to Gladys Rutherford.After a solo by Miss Hutchinson, Mr.Bell gave the Valedictory, The Tercentenary of the Founding of Quebec.Owing to the lack of space we are obliged to omit publishing this most excellent paper, but shall do so later, possibly in the next issue.THE RECEPTION.Doubtless there has never been ae large a gathering of our people at this important annual College function, as that of last Friday evening, and all seemed to enjoy the occasion more than ever.The retiring of the Dr.and Mrs.Flanders was one of the important reasons for the large attendance.It is an excellent thing for the community to come in contact with the life of the College.The Faculty did their part in a manner that reflected credit upon their work, for they are leaving the College and the majority of mankind become somewhat uninterested at such a time and under such circumstance.The Orchestra was a pleasing feature.Refreshments were served and it was near midnight before the last guest had departed.Everyone pronounced it in enjoyableaffair.SCHOOL REPORT.Report of Ruiter\u2019s Corner school ending June 12, 1808.The following grades are in order of standing.Grade V.Gladys Richardson,

DAYS.Several gentlemen met at Charles E.Bennet\u2019s office Monday evening for the purpose of talking over the base-ball situation in the Three Villages.There was a good attendance, the whole matter was quite fully disoussed and the result of the meeting was the organization of The International Athletic Association of the Three Villages.The following gentlemen were elected as officers for the ensuing year: Alfred J.Biesonnet, president; William B.Frost, Stanstead, vice-presi- dent; Herbert A.Culling, Derby Line, vice-president; T.Oscar Lanctot, Rock Island, vice-president; Chas.E.Bennett, secretary and treasurer.The object of this association is to secure an athletic fleld and improve it, i.e, make a good baseball diamond, lawn tennis g¢ourt, quoit court and grand stand that an interest in sports may be revived and fostered by the association.Ap attempt will also be made to start an interest in golf.The annual membership fee to the association is one dollar, and this money will be used to improve and keep up the Athletic fleld.At a meeting of the board of officers after the organization, it was decided to have æ baseball team this season and Charles L.Morrill was secured to organize and manage a team, and will do so at once, as there are several good opportunities forexchangegamesathand.To provide a fund for opening the season of baseball the association will give a benefit concert at the Haskell Opera House, Friday evening, June 26th.This entertainment will be wholly by local talent.The International Corset Band will give an open air concert on the Library Campus.There will be a male chorus of 16 voices, 4 1st tenors, 4 2nd tenors, 4 1st basses, and 4 2nd basses; Male quartette; Ladies quartette; Solo whistler; Reading by a local elocutionist; Violin solo; Banjo Club; and we learn that Dan Nells, called by entertainers the \u2018Little Corporal,\u201d will be in the vicinity and is willing to dance a clog for us in the interest of sports; Statuary poeing by E, H.Cosby; Cornet solo by Turcott; and there will be some vocal solo work by one of our sopranos and a tenor, and we expect to give the \u2018\u2018Fortune Makers\u201d a delightful little comic opera, and the entertainment will have the following orchestral support: Wright H.Hovey, violin; LeBaron, clarinet; Turcott, cornet; Theo Lanctot, flute and piccolo; Mrs.W.H.Hovey, piano.This is the associations method of securing funds for their ball team, instead of by subscription.In this they give value received, in other words, they will earn their baseball fund and this fairness should appeal to our citizens.In organizing this concert the management have selected only the sweet old home songs and ballads, for they want to make the association | entertainments popular, having them like home made things, wholesome, good and sweet.Now then, let us pull together for the success of this movement for high class sports.A NEW DEVELOPMENT.The readers of this paper will notice in the advertising columns that the Spalding lot at the end of Main Street has been subdivided into building lots and will be sold at auction.This is indeed a timely offering.The prosperity of the Three Villages and their growth as a manufacturing centre has brought a steadily increasing number of families into our community.But, the building of houses for this increased population has been entirely overlooked, until now there is not a house or even a room for rent in this locality.In fact our population is crowded into back yards and alleys in a manner similar to the tenement districts of our large cities.There is a good prospect that two new manufacturing plants will be started in Derby Line within & year employing between them, one hundred and fifty and two hundred hands.A steady growth is also to be expected in the manufacturing industries already established here, which means more employeés.The question is, where are they all to live.: This new subdivision certainly offers a much needed solution of the problem.This property is the most desirable land available in the the Three Villages for building lots.The property iteelf lies beaatifnlly for an attractive development, with a wide outlook in all directions.A fifty foot Avenue is being opened through the centre.The sidewalk already reaches to the north end and will be extended next year along the entire front.Water, sewer and electric light are already available.It is to be hoped that the people of the Three Villages will take advantage of this opportunity to relieve the crowded condition of what one might almost call our tenement district.The terms of purchase on these lots as advertised are 50 easy that there is no reason Why any man or woman in this community should not own a apy reason why that same man or woman should not build bis or her own home on one of theselots.There is plenty of idle capital here, which without doubt can be obtained by any honest person on favorable terms for the purpose of homebuilding.This property would also seem to be a first.class investment opportunity.There is certain to be an increasing demand for good building sites in this locality.The fact that these lots are to be sold at public auction without reserve gives the people of the Three Villages a chance to buy the propert at their own price, that is at whatevér they consider the lots worth to them.In this way the investor or home- builder will without doubt be able to purchase at a figure which will show a andsome profit if he cares to resell later on.For Over Sixty Years.Mrs.Winslow's Soothing Byrup has been used for over sixty years by millions of mothers for their children while teething, with per- tect suceess.It soothes the child,
