ECHOES FROM THE VERM ONT PRESS

Instead of worrying about the
young republicans OF Vermont, who
can be trusted to look out for their
own welfare, the Montpelier Argus
will do better 10 champion the inter
ests OF the young democrats OF Yer
mont. The Argus ought not to hav"
forgotten thus quick the revolt OF the
young democrats against 1.-THE pow
ers" OF the Vermont democracy, or
the fact that the democratic rebellion
resulted in the discontinue OF the
Younger clements. Does the Argus
wear its vacant stare" when these
young democrats are mentioned or
does it still persist that they had no
right to rebel ana should have been
turned down as they were? Finally,
does the Argus still stand TOR the
"old FOUNDERS in the Vermont democ-
racy ?"- Burlington Free Press.

tv has selected St. Juhnsbury as the

FASHIONS EDICT.

Patrons OF the theatre will rejoice
to hear that big hats are to be tabood
by fashionable women and that the
enormous headgcar, so long berated
and eX,Crated by men will give place
to either no hat at all or a very
small bonnet, fiat on the top, and
composed OF as IlttIe matt rial as can
be used. Women have been accus
toned tor years TO hear complaints
OF their shortcomings or long and
broad hlgh.gOlngs in this respect,
and the wonder is that any woman
will 50 outrage the feelings of those
who sit behind her as to smut off heir
view OF the stage. 1t is rather a del.
lCate thing ter a man to ask a lady
in he seat IN front OF him to be kinC
enough to remove her hat, but it ha,
been done by an occasional brave one
sometimes with success aud some
times without. In one case the lad,
declined to accced to the reasonable
request, whertupon the txasperatet
man quietly assumed his hat. A
soon as this was perceived by tn
gallery, loud cries Of take off tina

THE SETTLEMENT or THE WEST.

There are excellent reasons tor
thinking that the carly settlement OF
the West by sturdy natives OF the
Alleghanies, from Pennsylvania to
the Carolinas, first gave it special
character. A fiery Amerlcdnlsm, an
intense Puritanism. held this frontier
society firmly to the task of subdulng
a wilderness to the needs and pur-
poses OF later populations. Andrew
Jackson, who at the age Of thirteen
sought service in the American Rev
olution and served with the army to
theend of the war, found employment
tor his indomitable energies in this
preparatory work. His early man
hood appears to have been passed in
practice Of law and fighting Indians.
He marched at the head OF volun-
teer army and defeated the Greeks;
and in a final victory March 27,
1914, broke the power OF the Indian
race in the Southwest. He was an
all round man, needed in his time.
He was in turn representative, SEN
ator, Judge OF the Supreme Court,
general OF militia, commander, and
victor over a foreign army at New
Orleans and finally senator, and
president OF the United States. His
career will be outlined at the hands
OF master, Mr.. John Flske, next
Tuesday evening, Nov. II, at 8
O'Clock.

hat" arose. The lady with thelarge
hat and guilty conscience began to
feel embarrassed, and finally as the
uproar did not cease, she removed
the offending head gear and peace
reigned once more, for the man took
off his hat at the same time.
1t is pity that any one is obliged
to resort TO a ruse Of this sort in or
der to get the worth OF time and
money at the theatre, and it is to be
hoped that fashions dictate will be
obeved in this case-as to birds
wings, hat is another story.

THE ARENA.

The latest magazine to make cut
in its subscription price is The Arena,
which now drops from So 90 to $500
year, thus placing itself within
reach of thousands Of people who
would like to take it. The Arena isa
periodical thoroughly abreast of the
times, and all the burning questions
of the day receive considerations its
pages. 1t contains strong thoughts
for the thoughtful, and notwithstand-
ing the low price at which it is now
offered, the publishers promise that
it will be brighter han ever. A glance
over the names of contributors tor

is true. The Arena will doubtless be
far more widely circulated, now that
the price is placed at such a low
figure.

GREAT SCOTT!
O'CLOCK.

And now somebody is trying to
prove that Sir Walter Scott did not
write the Waverley novels, but that
his brothers wife, Mrs, Thomas
Scott, was the author, assisted by
her husband, or vice versa, the books
being revised by the baronet Sew
eral old letters are published in sup
port of the theory, but it is pity
people could not find some better
way to employ their time than to
ruthlessly disturb ideas so deeply
rooted IN our minds that pulling them
up is painful. The "Wizard of the
North" has warm spot in the heart
of every man and woman who, at
the &c OF from fifteen to twenty,
roamed through the realms of ro-
nance under his delightful guidance.

The sudden death of Eugene Field
from heart failure at Chicago, will

his sweet ahd tunetul poetry. While
not in the highest rank OF poets, he
held place in many hearts, p,cially
with his poems on child-llie, He has
been personally known to many peo-
pie, and both those who knew him
so, and those who knew him only
through his verse will be sorry to

The Sargent tablets in the Boston
public library appear to have broken
the whole ten commandments, or
rather the commandments are all
tull OF mistakes AS executed by Mr.
Sargent. The text has been subjected
TO a special examination and the re-
port states that it is full OF inaccu-
racies, with elhpses objectionable,
due to gross ignorance and neglect
to obtain a correct text. This is
very hard on the cultured CITY, but
all may yet be well. 1t is possible to

Impressed by the Cars Looks

To demonstrate the cars apprecia-
ton of kindness the following incident
was related by a man who heard it
from Hallam Tennyson in London some
time ago.
While on one of his visits to Copen-
hagen the car and the king of Dem
mark went hunting and became sepa-
rated from the rest of the hunting party.
They turned their horses homeward
and on the way stopped at a peasants
hut, where the king asked the peasant
woman for drink for himself and his
companion. The woman looked at the
big man and, smiling pleasantly, said
to the king, whom, of course, she did
not know: HE looks so good and kind
he shall have a glass of the best we
have"
The ear did not understand a word
and when on their return the king
laughingly told him of the good inn
preston he had made on the woman
the car said seriously, almost mourn
fully: what would | not give to see
such kindness among my people. IN.

Smokers C'ramp.

Writer'S cramp is sufficiently we'll
known but it is only in countries in
which the use of the cigarette displaces
all other forms OF enjoying the weed"
that smokers cramp is heard of.
This affection is common enough in
Spain, Notwithstanding that the Span
lard is so expert that he can roll Gig
arctic with a single movement of the
hand. 1t is now finding its way into
France, where the government tobacco
is hot in pipe but tolerabe to the taste
when inclosed in rice paper.
1t appears, however, that the COM
plant did not make its advent here I'M
til the state assented to the sale of Gig
arettes made by hand.
The persons who are now suffering
from this painful form of cramp are the
wOrkgirls who get their living by roll
ing cigarettes. In this connection it
may be noted that the Society for the
Prevention of the Abuse of Tobacco
has. parodying the familiar "cherchez
la femme" now adopted for its war-cry
"Cherchez lie tabac," basing its attack
upon the allegations that Caserio and
all other assassins were victims to the
cigarette, which they smoked on the
eve of committing great crimes.-L01-

THERE is something criminally selfish
il the attempt made by Jerry Simpson to
make political capital out of the dire dis
tress of the poor laborers in Brooklyn
who have taken unwlse counsel and have
gone out on strike at time so mop
perfume as midwihter. Jerry in an adj
dress 10 the strikers urged them IN future
TO vote the populiat ticket as one OF the
planks in the platform of that party is
government ownership of railways. Then
Mauchltt, the socialist candidate for gov
ernor of New York last fall, had his in
nings and wanted the laborers to vote
the socialist ticket because that party
went to the extent of demanding govern
ment ownership of all industries of pub
lie character.
No doubt the speakers were applauded
for giving just the advice through follow
Jog which these poor men are in their
present straits. 1t never occurred to
them to inquire how many of their num-
Der are now called to government posi-

employees and officials than there are
