even the women could find no fault in

In\her impuIsiveness and her desire
TO entear herself to all her husband
friends, this bright young creature had
|nnwittingly made havoc of one mans
heart. Dick Richards. the sole other

No one was more conscious of his in
fatuation than the man himself. He
had tried to tear himself from the

beyond his power.
!. At first she had attributed it simply
to Dick Richards courtesy and good
mature; it was beginning to dawn upon
her, however, that it was more than
this, and her mind was much perturbed
in consequence.
Lawn tennis had been going on,
and all the guests except the devoted
Capt. Richards had taken their de-

them as the men and women whose

that sweaters, like yachting caps, are

the sweater is SO really useful that its

HOW THEY DO THINGS IN GER

Mir. Arthur f. Stone, editor of the St
Johrsbury Caledonian, who recently went
abroad, is sending his paper some in
teresting letters. His last letter contains
the following extract:
In the German empire the government
owns everything and the military are
everywhere. 1t owns the railroads, the
postofiices, the telegraph, telephone and.
| suppose, the express companies. As
these are all under one management the
service is excellent and the rates remark
ably low, The long distance telephone ex-
tends throughout the empire and it costs
only one mark (25 cents to talk three
minutes a distance of over 200 miles And
my cousin who did this and called up Tcr-
lin from Frankfurt said you could talk
in English just as cheap as in the Ger
man language. The parcel post system has
some advantageous features as for in
stance in Switzerland. In that Cou0try

many instances would unquestionahly lie
far better off than at present if they were
placed under the elcvating influences Of

their territory would vastly increase the
market for the products of our farms and
factories. and ensure them against the en-

This is a terrific showing of the coun-
trY's want of confidence in the party Of
Bryan. And it does not tell the whole
story, for 1t is not open to question that
Maj yland would vote against him should
he be again nominated Montana and
Idaho, even, following the example Of
Wyoming and South Dakota, might re-
turn TO the republican column ON the
other hand, should Washington, Wyoming,
and South Dakota give their votes TO }rN-
an, as they did in 1896, the detection Of
these States would be nearly offset by
Maryland; so that the table We give above

irre sponsble visionary that ever Invaded

In answer to every argument from eX-

mathematics the Bryan managers now

misunderstood the attitude of this paper
towards the liquor law of this state. The
FREE PRESS favored the adoption Of the
prohibitory law, when ii was as yet an
untried experiment in Vermont believing
that It would lessen intemporance, which,

time. had become very sore ana incrcas-
