PART V. The Proofs. The proofs usually show all the lines, wrinkles and skin blemishes much plainer than they appear to the eye, and these have to be softened and removed in the finishing. This brightens up the expression and generally makes the person look younger. Stray hairs that show in the proof may be removed also objectionable wrinkles in the dress.

To prevent mistakes all proofs returned should be marked-on the back with the number desired. Two or more proofs are shown, but an extra charge is made if more than one is ordered from.

She was met by a stranger who put a revolver in her face and fired, felling her to the floor, followed by another shot which passed over her. Recovering herself she rushed from the house screaming for help which brought Mr. Barstowe, who upon discovering her condition, called a physician who discovered that the ball had entered the face near the cheek bone passing around under her ear outside the jugular vein and lodging under the scalp behind the ear, from which place it was readily removed the following morning. Mrs. Barstowe will recover unless blood poisoning sets in.

Search was immediately made for the assassin suspicion resting on Will Lathe, a disreputable person, who had been hanging about the round house all day Friday, but was not to be found after the shooting.

STONE CO. AS SEEN IN THE SANCTUM. It is a matter of regret that more of our townspeople are not attending the entertainments in the Y. M. C.

A. course. In point of excellence and quality the course has never been excelled, yet the patronage is less than it has been for many years past. Of course it is useless to keep up the standard of excellence if the people are not going to patronize the course. If the attendance keeps falling off" each year it is only a question of time when the course which now has a national reputation will have to be given up.

This is a free country and if our people prefer the comic opera to lectures by the greatest orators in the country and concerts by great artists, then the Y. M. C. A. course will have to give way to an entirely different class of entertainments.

We hope, however, that the patronage of our course will warrant its continuance for a long time. The Rutland Herald suggests that the newspapers in the country that are over 100 years old form a Newspaper Century Club. Among the New England papers besides the Herald that have reached this age are the Northampton, Gazette, the Hartford Courant, the Salem Gazette and the Greenfield, Gazette. There are only 13 papers eligible to membership in this unique club which we trust will become one of the most useful organizations in the craft. Owing to lack of room at the Home for Destitute Children at Burlington many cannot be properly accommodated, and an appeal is being made to the friends and people for money, so that two additional buildings may be erected costing $40,000.

As long as rum and its allies are allowed to rampage our land, just so long will the children of its victims sufler unkss cared for by kind hearts and willing hands. We sincerely hope this institution will receive the aid desired. Herbert L. Bridgman of the Brooklyn Standard-Union recently lectured in Brooklyn on his experiences as a member of the Peary auxiliary expedition.

Johnsbury. In the death of Robert Louis Stevenson another of the noted writers of this generation passes away. Mr. Stevenson had been living for the past few years in Samoa and a very pleasant friendship had sprung up between bim and Chief Justice Ide. Our readers will also recall that it was Mr.
