Old Vermont.
Written for the TIMEs.l


Honor to Old Vermont! she stands
Where freedoms star has never set;
While others roam in distant lands,
Well cling to her Green Mountains yet.
We love her rocks, we love her rills,
We love her wales and lofty hills;
We love to think our native state
SO noble, good, lofty and great.
Honor to Old Vermont! long has her name
Been sounding afar from hill and vale;
Her noble sons for freedoms sake
Now sleep beneath the silent vale.
Honor to her sons whose blood
Flowed so freely on the southern cline;
Their memory in our hearts we'll cherish
ever,
Until the latest end of time.
Old Vermont her statesmen claim our
homage due,
The great, the noble, the just and true,
And honor to her sons scattered far and wide
In distant lands on every side.
Her noble sons that till the soil
From morn until night with busy toll;
Honor is due to the rich and poor
They all do share her bountiful store.
Old Vermont her daughters fair with rosy
cheek
No land can boast of more truthful hearts to
meet.
Yes, honor to Old Vermont! long may her
banner wave
Der the just, the true, the noble and the
brave. M. s. U.

The article in which the table is given
contains restricted dietary, which is ded-
icated to ''Mrs. Slim" In advising Mrs.
Slim as to how she may gain flesh, Mrs.
Hudders says that she should eat only what
agrees with her, eat slowly, chew the food
thoroughly, eat plenty of nourishiug, easily
digested food, but, she adds, do not over
eat.
The last is emphasized. Plenty of sleep,
plenty of cheerfulness and moderate exer-
else are recommended. No ice water or
cold drinks are to be taken at meals, but
plenty of water not iced between meals. A
cup of hot water after meals is said to aid
digestion.
Highly seasoned foods, pickles, pastry,
sailed and picked meats. acids and fried
foods are to be avoided. But few sweets
are to be taken, and none if the stomach
is easily deranged.

Cannot Accommodate Teams.

The entertainment committee of the Bap-
fist society desire to give notice to those
attending the Sunday school convention
that owing to the general lack of stable
room in the village and the heavy expenses
otherwise necessarily incurred, it will be
for them to provide accommoda-
ton for teams.

THE TIMES.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 90, 1897.
Bellows Falls Locals.

Fl. E. Bidwell is the owner of new
sail boat.
dohn w. Buemond moved the old Flint
house on South street to Buttertield court.
Joe Mitchell and Dusty Garron are the
BARRIERS with j. E. Byrne, who is now run
ming three chairs.
&c. Winnewisser has recently added
the Burlington Free Press to his list OF
daily papers.
Rev. E. Bosworth spoke in the Baptist
church Sunday evening, representing the
Grand Ligne Mission.
About 20 from the local lodge of railroad
fremen went to Rutland Sunday to attend
the fremen's convention in that city.
Rev. Ellsworth Fullerton in his sermon
Sunday afternoon quoted Rev. Mr.. Crafts
of the Reform committee as saying that one
representative group can always be trusted
to be interested and to vote right on any
question Of moral reform and the protec-
ton of the young and the weak.
Bradley G. Newell, the healer, who
passed Monday night in town, says he
shall spend most Of the summer at home.
He has large number of patients who
wish to visit him there, and besides he will
soon begin bottling the waters OF the
Sadawga Springs at Nottingham. Those
who think Bradley hasn't head for BUSH
ness are mistaken.
The chorus and orchestra which are to
assist in the music of the Sunday school
convention had their first rehearsal last
Monday evening, the former in the Baptist
church, the latter in Mr.. Barber's music
store. They will meet again, and this
time together. in the Baptist church next
Friday evening at 7.3O sharp. A cordial
invitation is given to all in the village who
sing to join this chorus and be present at
the rehearsal.
w. j. Peterson has purchased a new
sail boat and the first OF the week asked
his friends, G. L. Forbes and Harry Little,
to take a sail, kindness on the part OF
Mr.. Peterson which was fully appreciated.
1t CHANGED, however, that the wind was
blowing gale and before the three sailors
had gone far, the boat capsized and all had
a good ducking. Rescue parties were soon
on hand and the worst result Of the frolic
was the loss of SIG meerschaum pipe by
Mr.. Forbes.
By the way the names are coming in of
those expecting to attend the Sunday
school convention, the prospect is that the
entertainment committee will be taxed to
the utmost. The readiness of the other
churches Of the village to appoint soliciting
committees and who are thus manifesting
their willingness to share in the pleasure as
we'll as the burden of hospitality is much
appreciated by the Baptist society. II
there should be any in the village not
visited by these committees, who are will
ing to lend helping hand either in the
way of rooms for the night or board they
will do very great favor by notifying =
G.. Fairbank, chairman of the entertain
ment committee, accordingly.

For Fat and Thin Women.

A table of relative hight and weights
given by Mrs Eta Morse Hudders is
worth repeating. The weight of ordinary
clothing is included in the table.
The woman who reaches the minimum or
maximum weight for her hight is recon-
mended to look carefully after her diet,
not only that her figure may be what it
should be, but for the sake of her general
health. The table is:

"No Oats, No Marriage.

A story of legal lore is told of
Squire Robinson, the father of the
late General Robinson of Allegheny
City. The squire kept the ferry
across the river In the latter year Of
the last century and did all the
marrying for the loving couples far
and near. One day a couple pre-
Sented themselves before the judi
cial Charon, and the swain honestly
confessed that he had not the nee
essary wedding fee in cash, but that
he would deliver Squire Robinson
a bushel of oats the coming fall in
payment.
The good natured squire consent
ed and tied the nuptial knot, but as
the groom rode off, with the blush
ing bride behind him on a pillion,
the squire gave him the quaint
parting shot, mind, John, no oats,
no marriage."-Detroit Free Press

Many Hired Daily-Men Who Hire Them
and Why They Do It
A man who had een at one time
and another here and there in
town a sign like this, Good Work
Horses to Let" and had g vague
idea that the few work horses that
were let must be hired by men who
were not able to buy a horse, found
upon inquiry that his ideas on this
subject were very inadequate. 1t is
of course possible that work horse
might be hired by a man not able to
buy one, but it would quite as like
~ be hired by a man or a firm that
could afford to buy ], 1000 horses it it
were desirable to do SO. AS a mat.
ter of fact, work horses are hired by
q great variety of men.
There are stable owners who make
a business of letting work horses,
and work horses are sometimes let
by other large business concerns
employing many horses which
might not all be fully employed the
year round; so might be the case,
for example, with the horses of an
ice company OF a street sprinkling

Gautter, the Amateur Artist.

Like Thackeray, Victor Hugo and
some other famous writer's, Theophile
Gautier began life with the determin-
alton to become an artist. 1t was as an
art student that he wore his famous
red waistcOat and attended the thea
tiers in order to applaud Victor Hugo.
Later in life the main use that he
made of his requirements was in draw
ing fancy heads of his heroines, and he
possessed the ability TO portray varied
types of character no less with the
crayon than with the pen. Engravings
from several of his sketches were used
as frontispieces or vignettes on the
title-pages of his books. 1t is as a
painter in words that Gautier will long
est be remembered. In fact, he may
be said to have created that kind of
literary art. But it is probable that
he would never have been able TO pro-
duce the delightful word-paintings in
his "Emaux ct Camees," his "Fortu-
natus" and other stories, and his books
OF travel IL he had not practiced with
crayon and brush and learned the Ian
guage of the studios.-Art Amateur
