Here Is an, example worth reading: Charles Allalr. now retired living In Vernon. Lower end of this state says: When I went to Geo. E. Greene's drug store and asked him If he knew of any thing to cure backache he handed me out a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. I positively asserted I was nearly dead with pain through my kidneys and loins. I was subject to attacks for years, some of them so bad that I was If not con fined to bed nt least to the house for days at a time. Latterly the aching was almost continual and. there was added to It trouble with the kidney secretions, un doubted proof that my kidneys were In a very disturbed condition, despite the fact that I doctored and used more than ono medicine. Now I cannot positively say that Doan's Kidney Pills have radi cally cured me, but of this I am certain the treatment has brought Infinite bene fit and If recurrences take place I know wnat to use to check them."

VERMONT'S GRAND ARMY Ald the 8tory of How the State Took the Initiative In Civil War. Ex-Gov. Frederick Holbrook's Introduc tion to tho special Grand Army number of tho Vermonter. AH hall I Veteran Vermont soldiers of tho Grand Army of the Republic! You havo a warm place In tho heart of tho writer of this Introduction, nnd he Is al ways glad to meet you with hearty hand shakings and cordial greetings. As you pass along down tho western slope, of life, towards Its setting, may you be blest with kind friends nnd the comforts of life to attend youl The words of the poet, which tho writer has heretofore quoted to you, he cannot forbear quoting again to you, they nro so applicable to you nnd your services during our lato civil war for the preservation of tho Union: "O beautiful! my country! ours onco morel What words divine of lover or of poet Could tell our love nnd make theo know It, Among the nations bright beyond com pare? What wero our lives without theo? What nil our lives to save thee? Wo reck not what we gave thee: Wo will not dnro to doubt thee; But nsk whatever else, and we will darot" Tho Vermont soldlrfs wero disting uished for sturdy courage, endurance and steadiness under fire, nnd were not ex celled in these qualities by those of any state. They proved themselves worthy descendants of tho "Green Mountain Boys" of old, that the race has not de generated, but Is now, as of old, to be depended upon In any and all emergen cies. Then, too, what respectable and useful citizens these veterans have been slnco the return of peace, filling ns many of them have, and still do. Important po sitions of public trust and usefulness! At the outbreak of the war of secession tho young men of Vermont wero ready at once to volunteer their services as soldiers to their country, and rushed to fill the ranks called for as fast as the succeslve calls were made by the government au thorities, i The Vermont regiments from time to time, as called for, were filled by vol unteers. And when the last call came, for three hundred thousand militia, or drafted men, the Vermont quota of five regiments under that call was quickly filled by volunteers Instead of drafted men, which was tho only Instnnce. In nny state. In which the quota was thus nlled. The patriotism of the people of Vermont was such that the time had not como for a draft, and the state author ities requested leave from the authorities at Washington to fill Vermont's quota under that call with volunteers In lieu of drafted men, which request was granted. Tho people of Vermont were much In earnest for the preservation of the Union against the scourges of the rebellion, and never faltered in the slightest In their patriotic efforts, nnd her young men were ever ready to engage In the conflict of arms nnd go forward as volunteers under each call from the government. At the opening of the session of the general nssembly of Vermont, In Octo ber, 1SG1, the governor offered to it the suggestion that one-half the expenses of war bo paid "as we go," by direct tax ation; the other half to be raised by tho Issuance nnd sale of state bonds, pay able at convenient times In the future. The suggestion met the npprovnl of tho legislature, and an act wns at once passed embodying tho proposition. Bonds for one nnd one-half millions were issued nnd nt once negotiated nt n handsome premium, one-half the expenses of the war being liquidated as they accrued. The result followed that nt the close of the war the wr debt of Vermont wns less In proportion to population and men nnd moans furnished, than that of any other stnte, and Vermont's war debt was the first state war debt paid off In full by nny stnte: and this. too. notwithstanding that Vermont paid her soldiers seven dollars per month. In nddltton to their monthly pay by the general government. So stanch nnd porseverlngly patriotic were Vermonters nnd so determined to conquer the rebellion that the stnte seht a very large per cent, of Its population to the front, nnd no more sturdy nnd rellnblo soldiers were sent from other states. Each regiment. Independent company or other formation of armed soldiers was com posed mostly of volunteers. Vermont sent seventeen regiments of Infantry, ten hundred nnd forty men each, a regiment of twelve hundred men ns heavy artillery, n regiment of cavalry of about twelve hundred men, three com panies of sharp shooters, three batteries of light artillery, and a largo number of recruits to fill vncancles In the older reg iments. One of the crowning nets of Vermont was tho establishment of military hos pitals within the state for the treatment and cure of sick and wounded soldiers. Arrangements wero made with the au thorities at Washington by which nt first was the providing of n capacious military hospital at Brattleboro. The government barrack buildings on the camp grounds, of which there were many, were romoyed to n snoiiereti position on the grounds, nrranged In hollow square, lathed and plastered walls, nice floors laid, provided each with chimney, a bountiful supply of pure spring wnter brought to them, this at state expense; but subsequently It wns rcimuuneu to me state by the govern ment, nfter Its medical Inspectors had reported that the jiercentniro of cures nt this hospital wns greater than nt that of any United States hospital In enmn or otner stations nt or near the front. Tho experiment was so satisfying that the government willingly established nnother hospltnl nt Montpeller. with like good re suits. The secretary of war provided tho stnte military ngent for the seeking out and transporting or sick soldiers wherever round in camp or other hosnitals with an order to surgeons In charge thereof to de liver such sick Vermont soldiers to said stnte ngent, to transport back to their state ror hospital treatment there. The plan worked so well that soldiers legnn to como in squads or about one hundred patients, In cars fitted ud for their com. fortnble transit. The change soon proved so beneficent to tho transported soldiers, that the first summer there were from ten to fifteen hundred patients treated; most of whom lelng restored In n few months returned to their places at the front. Other states, learning tho results of tho experiment, nought to have their sick and wounded soldiers sent to tho soldiers' hospital nt Brattleboro; as soon as tho authorities learned of tho benefits attending transfer to northern and more bracing climate, purer water, and general comforts, and so government hospital tents had to be provided for Mm of patients above what the many hos pltal buildings could accommodate; and thus from ten to fifteen hundred patients wero treated tho first, year. Later reports from government medical Inspectors, vis iting the hospital, reported n lnnrsr nor centage of recoveries at this experimental inuvisiun man occurred nt any govern ment or camp hospital nt tlm nt of war. Other northern states soon followed v ermont In providing hosnltnl at home for their sick and wounded sol diers. Tims waa Inaugurated In Vermont n measure In the healing art, which ex tensively followed In otlmr norMm states, was the means of saving the lives of very many brave and valuable men who might havo perished If left to pine In camp and other hospitals In the more malarious climates at the front where our armies operated. Gun shot wounds with tendency to enncrrenA nni nmntA bowel maladies yielded quickly to treat ment In wholesome northern nlr nnd sur roundings. Poor sick and wounded men, and often suffering In consequence of de pression of spirits were taken from their beds or lounges, and put In cots In the cars fitted for the transportation of such patients, they grew better on the way at the change and the near prospect of meeting home, friends and of Bight of their native green hills. Mention should bo mndo of tho patriotic and generous response of the Indies of Vermont, In nnawcr to a public notice addressed to them that contributions of fittings for tho soldiers' hospital would bo gladly re ceived; to which they responded with most bountiful donations of bods, bed ding, small tables and all sorts of llttlo comforts and luxuries for tho sick room, until nnother communication was ad dressed to them stating that tho hospital wnrds were amply supplied to running over with their bounties. Lasting thanks wero their duo for their great kindness, The governors of the loyal states had many anxieties, taxing labors and re sponsibilities during tho war. Often without laws, regulations, general orders, or precedents to guldo them, they hnd to decide on Important actions or measures to tho best of their Judgment, nnd that not Infrequently on the spur of tho mo ment. They were generally men of sixty or more years of nge; and the strain on their vitality was such that many of them survived but a few years after the war closed. Leaving tho writer out of tho count, they were staunch, resolute men, of decided executive nblllty In the guld anco nnd furtherance of public affairs. You, veterans, and your comrades of the Grand Army, havo the lasting satis faction of having contributed what you could to tho saving of our glorious Union, and the free "government of the people, by the people, and for the people," Its bounds extending from ocean to ocean, and from tho lakes nnd other northern boundaries to the gulf of Mexico, dotted with tho homes of substantial comfort of Its liberty-loving people. Its net-works of railways for transportation nnd the rapid transit of the people, with wealth more equally distributed than elsewhere In tho world, Its multitudinous discoveries In tho sciences, nnd Inventions In tho nrts and Industries, and, to crown all, a pop ulation distinguished for Intelligence nnd patriotism above that, In tho aggregate, of nny other country on earth, nnd a peo ple "who know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain them." What growth and prosperity has our country experienced since Us birth ns a nation! Surely the kind Provldonce of God has presided over Its destinies! Shakspere tells us that "There's a Divinity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them how we will!" and that over-ruling Providence has ever been over us, even "From seeming evil still educing good." so that when we attempt to recount His benefits wo find language Inadequate for It, nnd with the poet conclude: 'Come then, cxpressslve silence, muse Ills prnlrte."

WONDERFUL CURE Covered from Head to Foot with Humours Forty Boils on Head at One Time Doctors and Drug Bills $100 Baby Grew Worse. CURED BY CUTICURA FOR FIVE DOLLARS Mra. George H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis., is a grateful mother. "When six months old." she says, my little girl weighed a pound and a half less than at birth. When one month old a scab formed on her face, spreading until It completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up, and it became so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete cure, and now my child is as large, strong, and healthy as any child of her age. The doctor's and drug bills were over one hundred dollars, and my baby grew worse all the time. Then we spent less than five dollars for Cut! cura and Cured her."

Where tho horizon stooped to touch tho frozen surfneo of tho river, a dark and wavering blot appeared, grow largo and larger, resolved Into n filo of panting dogs drawing a sledge, whoso solitary occupant lurched and swnyed at every turn. The fur-clad body of tho man bent from tho hips until his drooping hend almost touched his knees; his gloved hands gripped the edges of tho sledgoj a long gash, fringed with little blood-red Icicles, began nn Inch nliove his ear and ended at his templo; Ills volco roso nnd fell In hoarse, spasmodic accents ns ho urged tho dogs: "Mush! Mush on!" The dogs crouched closer to tho treacherous Icei their heads stretched further forward; tho sprays of slush nnd soggy, melting snow sprang higher from tho runners of tho sledge. "Haw, Dan! Haw!" The shaggy loader of the dogs obeyed, drawing a llttlo nearer tho distant shore to tho left. "Clee, Dan! Geo!" Tho leader wavered. To turn to the right wns to approach the open water, where the honeycombed Ice, rotted nnd broken by tho spring thaw, tossed and twisted In great chafing slabs upon tho swelling current. The dog glanced over his shoulder at tho. man, whined softly, and disobediently kopt hid course, straight for the nearest land, the promontory Jut ting Into the river n good half mile ahead. "Oee! gee! Como gee, Dan!" The hindmost dogs swerved to the right, but the leader, twisting about, snarled fiercely, threatened them, cowed them Into following him straight onward. A crackling roar echoed along tho river; the Ice ahead splintered nnd yawned, and the dark water gurgled up. With a sharp turn to the left tho yellow leader flanked the fissure, then swerved obliquely back to the right nnd pointed his outstretched muzzle, dripping the foam of toll, onco more toward the promontory. Another ronr, a crash, A rending and grinding of Ice, and a swirl of water swept past the racing dogs, softening Into clinging, impeding slush the drifts of snow that lay In the very shadow of the promontory, and as the leader, with a Joyous yelp, leaped to tho shelving bank, the Ice beneath reared tn great, glisten ing sheets, shivered Into a thousand fragments, and the waters whirled and surged about the sledge and hindmost dogs. Then yellow Dan of the Yukon proved the mettle of his race. Slowly, steadily. straining ngninst the harness until his sinews raised like ropes, ho drew his nearest fellow to a foothold; then the next, and another, until at last they drew tho sledge to solid ground, ,and dropped exhausted, with lolling tongues nnd quivering, heaving flanks, while the man babbled and scolded deliriously. "Mush, Dan! Mush on!" he quavered. Rising on his haunches, the yellow leader looked back nt the Impassable river, looked beyond him Into the white silence of the desolate hills, lifted his massive head and howled dismally. Sud denly his drooping ears shot forward, twitching and alert; they had caught tho faint echoes of answering howls, and his eyes had traced a thrend-llke line of smoke against the distant hills. Turning upon his followers. Dan of the Yukon shook nnd fought them out of their lethargy until they obeyed him onco more, nnd trotted weakly after him toward the far-away smoke. Tho trader drew his head and shoulders from the box ho was unpacking, and glanced nt .the man who nodded In the chair before the roaring. sheet-Iron stove. "Sleepy, Bob?" he called, with a smile. The man started, looked up nnd smiled uacx. "We was on th' trail nil night me nnd Dan, .ho, said, apologetically. At the sound of the name a great, yel low dog at the man's feet yawned lazily, lifted his head to tho man's knees nnd blinked nt him with lustrous eyes. The trader eyed him with an air of n con noisseur. "Fine dog," he observed. "The best that ever Rtretched harness.' the other answered, laying a broad hand on the massive head. "How old?" "About four, I reckon. Ho followed me, two years ago, from a drunkpn souruougn tiown tn 1 UKon wno wns try In' to beat him to death with a club, That was th" only scrap. Th' drunk lost most of nn ear before he give in. He'd have done me If he'd been sober." "N'cver see tho fellow since?" "No nnd don't never want to, neither.

"If the dog Isn't spoken for I'll buy him." said the trader, eagerly The man at Uie stove laughed softlv nnd pushed back his cap, revealing n scar mat ran irom ear to temple. "Ben," he said, slowly, "you've ban died a pile of money In your time, but an you ve Handled and seen and heard of wouldn't add up anything near what Dan's worth to me." I he trader gruhted and resumed his worK. "Does sound silly, don't It, Ben? But let me tell vou: Ijist spring, a hundred mile up river, all nlone, I shot myself nccldent'ly hero on th' head. Bullet glanced, but when th' fever set In I knew tli' only chance was to get back to n set tlement. I turned th' dogs downstream and give Dan th' word. That's th' last I knew till I woke up, a month later, In a Chinook camp among th' hills, n mile back from th' river, with Dan tryln' to wag his tall oft because I knew him again. How ho ever got me there, over that rotten Ice, nobody but Dan knows not oven th' Injuns that nursed me but he did It. Would you sell him. Ben, after that?" "I wouldn't!"' "No, sir! He's goln' home with mo and llvo on th' fat of th' land, where there's no sledges, nor hunger, nor freezln'." Tho trader continued silently at his work, and soon the man with tho scar closed his eyes, and his chin sank slowly to his chest. The door opened, nnd a tall man with little, deep-set eyes, guarded by high check bones, entered nnd slouched across the room, thrusting out his hands as he neared the stove. "Marnln', pardncr!" he growled at the trader, with a twisting duck of his head that revealed the stump of a manirled ear. "Mornln'. stranger." the turned, staring nt the tall man dubiously, "Purty cold, ain't It. pardner? Looks like we was coin' to have nnnti.o 1,11,. zard " The man with the mnnirlivl i,,i stopped short at sight of the man dozing In the chair, whipped the revolver from Ida belt, and fired Just as a great yellow body reared, snarling from the floor, to drop back, sprawling, with a wiinm 111 puin. Then another revolver rmniri .i,. ly; a Jlttlo spot .of red glowed suddenly above the mangled ear, and the tall man pitched forward on his face, quivered and lay still. "TSl WOrK.
