Obituary..

TAYLoR.-Mrs Betsey Clark Taylor died
September 1st at the nome of her son in
East Montpelier. Mrs. Taylor was born in
Berlin, December u, 1911, where she lived
until her marriage, November 90, 1889
Since that time she has spent most of her
life in Montpelier. She was the daughter
OF Dexter and Sarah May, and the last of a
family OF Ten children. A lifelong member
OF bethany church, she enjoyed its meet
lngs and was always found IN her place on
the Sabbath long after becoming feeble with
age. She had stroke of paralysis, March
Il, since which time she has been an intense
sufferer, but bore her sutferings with Chris
tlan forutude, looking anXiously forward to
the time when her savior would call her
home. Her husband was a constant watcher
by her bedside until death took him away
about four weeks ago, but her mind was 50
impaired that she never realized the loss she
then sustained. Mrs. Taylor was never
idle, and scarcely home she was wont IN
enter but has souvenir as the work of her
hands. She was kindly cared for in her
last sickness by her children, who will sadly
miss kind and loving mother. The loss of
both father and mother in so short a time
has left a void in the heart which time can
never efface.
Father, mother thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits God who has bereft us;
He will all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fed
Then in heaven with joy we'll meet thee
Where no farewell teal is shed.

SCOTCHY BOTTOMS

Look sharp among these Cot
tons. Don't trust to your eyes.
Use your fingers, or you are
sure to mistake these goods, at
10 cents yard, for all-wool, at
half dollar yard. The styles
are actually handsome, in per-
feet imitation of Scotch Chew.
OTIS. Stripes and Plaids. A
whole caseful Of these goods
has changed hands here in less
than week. Case number
two is now ready.

UNDER the authority of Surgeon General
Wyman of the United States marine hospi-
tai service, who has the supervision of the
work of providing safeguards against the
introduction of cholera into the United
States, Collector Benedict of Burlington
has appointed medical inspectors for the
railroad ports on the Vermont frontier as
follows: For st. Adams, DR.. j. N. Jenne;
for Richford, DR.. j. Ii. Hamilton; for New
port, DR.. G. f. Branch; for Island Pond,
Dr. Edward f. Norcross. The instructions
to the officers contemplate the inspection of
all immigrants arriving at the frontier from
Europe, and the disnfection of their cloth
ing and baggage by steaming, use of car
bolic acid or other effective methods for the
destruction of any germs of disease which
may be conveyed therein.

CIRCUMSTANCES bear out the prevailing
belief that Annie Feetner, wife of George
Feetner, at whose residence at Steubenville,
o., last week Wednesday night, a terrible
tragedy occurred is responsible for the
death of her husband, mother, George Skim
ner and herself. Mrs. Feetner, being sick
with typhoid fever and deranged, was
greatly excited by a quarrel between her
husband and Skinner. She, tits said, climbed
out Of bed, hunted up her husbands revolt
yer and, going down stairs where the men
were graphing together, began shooting.
Realizing the awfulness of her crime, she
then shot her mother and herself

spirit of self-helpfulness and projects
into politics church organizations, not
only to the hurt of the State, but of the
church itself. 1t gives life to bitterness,
enkindles and keeps alive unworthy
prejudices and colors politics with secta-
rian prejudices and feeling that must ter
inmate disastrously to free government
if unchecked.
There never was among free people
olitico-ecclesiastical controversy that
was not harmful to both contestants and
wherever such vexatious causes of dis
trust, jealousy and unchristian spirit exist
there is a partial paralysis of the patriotic
spirit and prostitution of the true Office
of freedom. Wherever such matters are
effectually removed from political affairs
there is the greatest repose, trust and
harmony and the broadest and truest
liberation.
We are not of those who believe that
these are the worst days or that the re-
public is on the verge of imminent dan
ger; that the march of progress is stayed
or that the forces Of free government
have been exhausted. Nevertheless,
neglect may bring on disaster, and po-
litical greed, corrupted by subtle and
selfish influences, menaces the preserva-
tive virtue of liberty. 1t is, therefore,
fI,o, - nd 1nxolfu fn
national principles to fortify against all
possible misunderstanding of our insti-
tutions, and the creeping in of any doc
trines that may give US harvest OF in
harmony and assault.
The American spirit cannot suffer
languor and be safe; constitutional guards
must be maintained and strengthened
against the introduction of legislation
that in any manner looks toward an ALI
ance between Church and State, or the
breaking down of the unsectarian char
acter of our system. Civil and religious
liberty are alike menaced when any pub
lie money is used for any seetarian pur-
pose.
UNCONVENTIONAL claims upon benevo-
lence may be, and most are, very strong,
but they are not claims of the character
which should be addressed to the State.
Schools and institutions of learning pro-
NOTED by individual contributions are, in
the main, worthy and to be approved, but
not one by any contortion of legislation
should become beneficiary of the State
or the Nation that is in any degree sec
tartan. All such aid is an assault upon
the public common school system, and
fraught with infinite harm to free and
unsectarian government. The Nation
gives to all creeds and beliefs the broadest
liberty, the most unrestrained freedom
known to the history of civilization; they
must not be permitted by neglect of con-
stitutional inhibition to begin an inva-
sion that if unchecked will destroy the
very system that makes liberation pos
sible

THE SHORT STORY.

The short story is feature Of modern
authors and publishers than any other
form of fiction. Is it because the age is
one of such rush and push that people
will not take time to read an elaborated
novel? Or is it evidence of a growing
taste for conciseness as superior literary
style2 In the atlantic Monthly Mr.. Bran
der Mathews makes the ''shortstory," as
he insists upon writing it, the subject of
an interesting review. 1t certainly is
true that whereas twenty years, nay, a
decade ago, the short story was only a
corner-filler or padding for a volume else
too lean, it is now distinctly filling a
direct and paying demand to almost the
exclusion of the long story. The serial
is falling into disfavor, and continued
stories in other publications than leading
magazines no longer pay. The new de-
mand has resulted in the birth of host
of publications containing only complete
stories, and generally large group of
them. Within year, says the Philadel-
phia Times, more than two dozen volumes
Of short stories have been issued and
have all found ready sale.
OF course adequate character sketching,
word-painting and analysis are sacri-
feed for dramatic action in the short
story; but on the other hand there is gain
in intensity, in vigor, in color, and in
rapidity. One could not think coolly of
John Halifax, or Mr.. Isaacs, or John In
glesant being shortened by so much as a
line. No literary work such as charac-
terizes those masterpieces could be
touched by brevity and not be ruined.
But writers of the first order, the most
accomplished romancists of the age, are
bending all their energies nowadays to
the production of the short story, because
it meets popular taste and for less labor
brings higher money returns.
