was graduated and made acquaintance
with Verdi. poor and lonely as himself for
whom he wrote the librettos of five operas.
He afterward went to Spain as director Of

Sir Henry IrVing's Hint.

During Sir Henry Irving's performance of
1.-THE Merchant of Venice at the Theater
Royal, Belfast, last week, much annoyance
was caused to frequenters of the stalls and
circle by ladies who did not remove their
hats, with the result that the management
at last decided to give the fair ones a gentle
hint. Prior to the commencement Of the
first act curtain was displayed on which
was painted in large letters the following:
Madam, will you kindly take of your hat,
as am sitting Immediately behind you and
cannot see the stage!' The hint was suf-

REFORM THE TOWN AGENCIES.

The awful tragedy at Hardwick
brings the question of the town liq-
uor agency home to every voter.
If reports are true the poor victim
would be alive to-day mad it not been
for agency whiskey that awakened
the demon in the man and led him on
to murder.
agency. 1t lies with the voters if it
shall be done. 1t is none too early to
start the discussion. In less than
three months the voters will assem-
ble In town meetings all over the
state and in most towns that have
the agency this is the question to be
considered above all others.
Is the agency in your town run as
it should be and as the law intends it
should be conducted?
If not the time is near at hand
when it is within the power of the
voters to say how it shall be run or to
abolish it.
The plain intent of the law is that
liquor shall be sold only for medici-
nal and mechanical purposes.
Is it in your town?
1t is equally the plain intent of the
law that only strictly pure liquors
shall be sold.
Are they in your town9
The law says that they shall be sold
at cost or as near cost as can be
readily ascertained.
Hew much is your town making
out of its saloon?
Who is purchasing the liquors for
your town? Have you an honest, in
corruptible man? Statesmen for liq-
uor houses tell that there are very
few towns where the purchasing
agent does not get a good rate off.
That the average rebate is about 81
per gallon. Does your town get it or
the purchasing agent? MorrisvilIe
Messenger.
The questions raised by the Messen
ger should be considered by the voters
of every town where an agency is
maintained. The prohibitory law has
been left to enforce itself, and failing
to do this, has been the subject of a
great amount of adverse criticism.
Every agency in the state is selling
three times the liquor which should be
sold for legitimate purposes. The
people eau stop the sale of this liquor
under the present law better than
under any measure which has been
proposed. tits only necessary TO en-
force the law.

Undeve1Oped Possibilities.

Speaking about abandoned farms,
we consider one practically so, when
a farm sufficiently able, if worked
properly, to winter tn irty head of
cattle, has only fifteen head. Yer
mont has too many twelve COW farms,
more than there is any need of. Dur
ing the past five years the farms have
increased in value simply because
they have been worked more-thus
making the income more. When one
says that the agricultural interests of
the state are being forced out by
other industries-it can be taken with
a grain of salt. When the farmers
are commanding good prices-it
makes things fiourish.-NeaUs and

Eleven-year- old Johnnie Living

Dec. 18th by being run over by one
car of a train on the Montpelier and

the train to steal a short ride and in
getting off fell in front OF one car,
which passed over his chest. crushing
the vital organs. He was one of the
