ST. JOHNsBURY IN DANVILLE.

EDITOR CALEDONIAN.-Man years
since, so many that it is perfectly
safe to speak of it, St. JOhnsbury
wOed and won the court house from
Danville. Later she seized the jail.
If she could capture DanvIlle's sum-
mer breezes, her pure water, her fog
less atmosphere and her magnificent
views, she would be rich indeed. AS
she cannot she sends her children
every summer day to enjoy these
luxuries. Seate at the excellent
table of the Elm House few days
since, where | saw represented the
North, the South, the East and the
West, | counted eight people from
St. Johnsburv in the well filled diu-
ing room. At a little distance l
found the Home among the Hills"
and learned that under it's pleasant
roof were representatives of the
Queens dominion, Of the Keystone
and Buckeye states, and at a
desk l caught sight of one OF St.
Johnsbury's best known, best be-
loved clergymen, working away at
his sermon, doubt not.
At "Thurber's" St. Johnsbury is
quite at home. Through the broad
streets of Danville roll the carriages
of St. Johnsbury, and ever and anon,
manned bY a St. TOhnSburY bOy. 90
what Maud Banks characterizes
as those denominations miscalled
safeties." 1t was long before we de-
scendants of the Puritans learned that
recreation was a duty as well as
privilege. Now that we seem to have
thoroughly learned the lesson, let us
rejoice and be glad. Let the hills be
joyful together" and there be "glori-
Gus beauty on the head of the fat
valley" NJ

4 Word About Cash

Surrender Values. I have lately paid
one cash value policy dated in
November, one policy dated in May
and three dated in July and August. Any
year or any month that you need the
cash more than the insurance, you can
get it. Other companies possibly give
it in ten years, or five years, but if you
don't call for it inside of 80 days you
must ait FIVE years or even longer before
YOU can receive it. Which would you
prefer? In addition, always remember
that the values much larger in the
company that I represent than in any
other company that only gives values in
five or ten years. This is straight. I am

We Can Tell YOu.

We can tell you the reason why so few
of the men who take the Houston Cure
ever go back to drink and why it is that
they NEVER have any desire for the
drink, after we have treated them. The
reason is that the Houston Cure is the
best cure in the world.
Some others, as you very well know
are sure sometimes and sometimes they
are not SO sure. The best is none too
good, and the best is the Houston.
The Houston Cure treats successfully
the liquor, opium and tobacco habits or
diseases, for we dislike to call them sim
ply habits, for that don't tell the whole
story. The men and women who are
slaves to these things do not take them
because they want to do So but because
they can't help it.

Tho county commissioners reject tho
proposition 10 abolish tolls on the pub
lie highways, and there is strong ar.
gument against the move on tho ground
that taxation should not DO increased at
this time. Yet tho time will come, and
it should come soon, when tho high
waysshall be free to all who choose to use
them.
The city is not less interested in this
matter than the country; for though no
residents OF tho city ever used tho roads
the city as buyer and a seller will BIO
benefited by freeing traffic with the
country from tho cost and annoyance OF
tolls.
The net amount realized last wear
from tolls, little over $1,000. would not
be great burden ii raised by general
taxation, and yet it falls heavily on
those who must pay this sum and the
added cost of collection, which is 10 per
cent OF the gross receipts.
Four cents added to the levy would
make up for the loss of tolls, not q
great matter in ordinary times and
when there is something substantial to
be had for it.
