Republicans should Vote as a Matte
of Business.
From the West Randolph Herald

From the West Randolph Herald.
This is an off year in politics but, in view
of the attitude of the Democratic party
in Congress toward everything in which
Vermont is vitality interested, it ought not
to be an ''off year" but big ION year"
With free wool, with reduced tariff on
every article Vermont farmers raise, there
ought to be no question how the people
will vote. 1t is a matter of business.
Every vote for the Democratic state ticket
this fall is an endorsement of the attempt
of the Democratic party in Congress to
legislate against the interests of Vermont
and in favor of the South.
1t will be so regarded by every Demo-
cratic paper and statesman. No matter
what your politics have been, the interests
of this state have been defended by the
Republican minority in Congress. If you
appreciate this, vote the Republican state
ticket.

Third, he is content with small profits, that he

steady trade. Fourth. he sells for cash and you
don't have to pay others bad debts Now, think

VERY MUCH INDEED.
[From the BnrIington Free Press.

The esteemed Philadelphia Press says
that of the 20 war governors "only Andrew
=. Curtin of Pennsylvania and William
Sprague of Rhode Island survive" If
our Quaker City contemporary could have
seen Vermont's veteran war governor
(ex-Gov. Holbrook) at the annual encamp-
ment of the National Guard at Brattleboro
last week and heard him speak, it would
have concluded that he was very much
alive.

Like Her Elders.

Edith, who is eight years old, was
invited to a children's party. Her
blonde hair is perfectly straight, but
was becomingly arranged, and she
started off evidently well pleased with
her personal appearance. On her re-
turn her mother asked. Did you have
a nice time. Edith?'
There was moments hesitation, and
then the little girl responded, Yes, I
had a good time. but should have had
a better one if it hadn't been for my
hair"
"Why, Edith, what was wrong with
your hair?''
"Weu, it don't curl. and all the other
girls hair was kinky. I sha'n't go to
another party without my hair can be
fixed in kinks"
The next week, when another invita-
ton came for the little girl, her hair
was cllrled and tluffed out in the most
approved style. Then her mother led
her up to mirror and said: ''There,
Edith, what do you think of it"'

Use of the Cros. in signatures.

The ancient use Of cross instead OF
a signature was universal alike by
those who could and by those who
could not write. It was a symbol of an
oath from it's earliest associations. On
this account Charles Knight, in his
notes on THE Pictorial Shakespeare"
explains the expression, God save the
mark Henry lV.) as form of ejacu-
lation approaching to the form of an
oath. Kelly, in his Comments on
Scotch Proverbs" observes that the
Scots, when they used to compare per-
son to person, used the expression,
'Save the mark" Another explana-
ton is that in archery, when an archer
shot well, 1t was the custom to cry out,
"God save the mark" that is. prevent
anyone coming after to hit the same
mark and thereby displace the arrow.
Ironically, 1t was said to a novice,
whose arrow struck nowhere. Brook
