scandal and disgrace, and it is admitted
that they need careful and energetic su-
pervision, but this bill will hardly be
favorably considered. In the first place,
it carries a salary of $4,000 per year, when
half the voters of any and every town
i'll the State would be glad of the Job
without any salary whatever, trusting to
luck to meet with their reward. No,
the bill will not pass, especially in that
form.
The bill appropriating a certain sum to
enable the State to make a respectable
showing at the grand Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo next year yet slum-
bers in committee, but it will emerge be-
fore long and in due time and become a
law. The legislators have proper eye
out for unnecessary appropriations, but
as every other State in the Union will
make a showing at the exposition, it
would look rather mean for Vermont to
keep out. Besides, much of the expense
will be received back from exhibitors.
The House is making grand record for
killing foolish bills. but there are many
more fattening for the slaughter. Among
them is about bushel on the subjects of
the schools taxation, selectmen, listers
and road commissioners, with which sub
jectS many members seem to have
mania for tinkering, Hardly one of the
lot will live. But the wOodchuck and
hedgehog bills are still with US and are
likely to be carried to success by wave
of popular approval. Meantime, | am
aiming at bill placing bounty of five
cents head on tree toads. They used to
disturb my sleep last summer out on the
farm. Adieu, fond heart,

Stores to Close Three Nights IN
the Week.

A step in the right direction has
been taken by the business raen of the
town by closing their stores on Tues
day, Thursday and Friday nights after
this week, instead of on Tuesday and
Friday nights as before. There are
many reasons for this move, but none
of any weight against it. In the first
place, there is not sufficient trade to
warrant keeping open so many eve
nings. 1T will not affect the volume
of trade as little that is not necessary
| is not bought. The town must give a
place to the social life. Should the
stores remain open all evenings, they
would make most entertainments I'M
profitable. In the different stores
there are about fifty people, represent
ing thirty-two families, many of them
the foremost ones in our social life.
There is no reason why they should be
made slaves to business. 1t is an es-
tabllshed fact that the stores are
closed Tuesdays and Fridays, and en-
tertainments conform to this rule. By
closing Thursdays, the forty-seven
men and women are given a chance to
attend the church services held in
both the churches on that evening.
This was one of the great reasons why
Thursday was the third night chosen
when this step was contemplated. The
people of the surrounding towns have
been talked with and they readily see
the reasonableness of the step. Mont
pelier, st. Johnsbury, Eaconia and
many other towns keep open only two
nights in the week. This has been
tried in many other places and found
satisfactory. Why shouldn't the
scheme of three nights a week prove
so here?
We the undersigned business firms in
the village of Bradford agree to close our
places of business Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings of each week at 6
O'Clock, commencing Immediately:

Republican money. And when I saw
a Republican congress appropriating
all that money to get rid of the gold
standard l knew that it could not be a
good thing. Why did we have it?
Then Mr.. Bryan took up the confer
ence of the money interests, which,
he stated, was held in London in De-
cember, 1897. This conference deci-
ded upon the future policy as TO money
matters in this and European nations.
They declare the gold standard was
all right. Is it right for these bankers
to control the policy of the United
States and in turn for that policy to
control this great nation? You ask
me when am going to stop talking on
the money question. I tell you shall
not stop until seventy million of peo-
pie secure the right TO attend to their
own business without asking the aid or
consent Of anyone to attend to it for
them. (Applause.) But this curren-
cy bill that started through the house
as gold standard measure was not
what they wanted in 1896. Under the
mask of bimetallism they tried to de-
ceive the people, and when the bill
passed congress it was gold standard
bill, and when it was before the house
all the little Republicans who looked
up to Hanna and said, "Give us this
day our daily opinion" made the
speeches. They did not talk about
national bimetallism, and said that they
were for the gold standard, and the
bill went to the senate. 1t was voted
for by every Republican in the house.
The finance committee of the senate
reported it back and they commenced
discussing it the other day. Then
suddenly the storm signal was raised
AMI the Republican committee repor-
ted an amendment declaring that this
was no obstacle to permanent set
tlement Of the matter.

peace When the old man finished,
Philip felt almost cheerful again. He
went out and helped his wife a few
minutes in some work about the kitch-
en-. And after supper he was just get
ting ready to 60 out to inquire after q
sick family near by when there was
knock at the door.
1t was a messenger boy with tele-
gram. Philip opened it almost me-
chanically and, carrying it to the light,
read:
Alfred died at 4 p. m. Can you come?
For second he did not realize the
news. Then as it rushed upon him he
staggered and would have follen If the
table had not been so close. A faint
ness and pain seized him. and for
minute he thought he was falling.
Then he pulled himself together and
called his wife, who was in the kitch-
en-. She came in at once, noticing the
peculiar tone Of his voice.
"Alfred is dead" He was saying
the words quietly as he held out the
telegram.
"Dead! And you left him getting
better! How DREADFUL!
"Do you think so? He Is at rest.

stilling the tunult of his hearts an,
guish for his wife's sake. This man.
his old college chum, was very dear to
him. The news was terrible to him.
Nevertheless he made his prepara.
tions to 60 back to his friends home.
1t Is what either would have done in
the event Of the others death. And so
he was gone from Milton until after
the funeral and did not return until
Saturday. In those three days Of alb
sence Milton was stirred by events
that grew out of the action Of the
church.

He looked out of the window again
and was silent Then he asked: "Are

far more heartbreaking to his wife
than flood of tears. She burst into

thrilled the people wonderfully. 1t
might have been his extreme sensitive
ness, his shrinking from anything like
cheap sensation.
But now he stepped back-it was not
far-and turning partly around. with

His voice suddenly ceased, he threw
his arms up, and rs he turned little
forward toward the congregation he
was seen to reel and stagger back
against the wall. For one intense. tre-
mendous second of time he stood there
with the whole church smitten into a
plying, Mortified, startled. motionless
crowd Of blanched. staring faces as his
tall, dark figure lowered up with out
stretched arms. almost covering the
very outlines Of the cross. and then he
sank down at its foot.
