The best beef cattle on earth can be.
and IN sumo il stances are Low, raised
in this state. An industry that should
be cultivated in Vermont is raising of
cattle for beef. The conditions are all
most favorable. There should be
abatoirs in Rutland, Burlington, st
Albaus and at other priLcipal indus
trial points in Vermont that would
creditahly compare not in size,
certainly 10 quality of product with
any of the beef combines IN Kansas
City, Omaha or Chicago. We believe
we are not too sanguine when we pre-
dict that some dav Vermont capital
and enterprise will awaken to the fact
that this state is well adapted TO
livestock raising on an eXten Sive

street would have been shot dead on
detection fifty years ago. Every wo-
man has been annoyed by them, and
all men see the thing going on. In
deed, there are men who appear to do
~cthins Else than to try to attract the
attention of women in the streets with
2 sinister and uncomfortable purpose.
They could easily be spotted and
driven out of town. They do not be-
long in New York alone, but flourish
in every large city. Paris has the
disgrace Of producing the most fin
ished and most persistent of these
scoundrels: but We have thousands of
them in our own brave America.
They are not all youths by a long shot
Many OF them are in middle life, some
are elderly. Last summer l saw a
man Of middle age start his game. He
was a rather shabby specimen. frayed
at the trouser bottoms, run down at
heel and shiny in the elbows. But he
was on very good terms with himself
Walking in front of me was a good
looking girl, quite slim and unsophisti-
cated-looking. Her dress indicated that
she was from some small inland place.
where the modes of Paris do not go
direct, She was simplicity itself.
Everything about her invited protec-
ton. The man l have alluded to came
from the opposite direction. He took
measure of the girl with a glance. He

looking into her face. Then he drop
ped back again, looking at her as she
passed. He quickened his pace and
passed her again, having in the mean
time arranged his shabby attire by
pulling down his short cuffs and twist
ing his mustache. Now, he evidently
thought he was an all-conquering Don
Juan. He again passed the girl, who
paid not the slightest attention,
though he smiled, or, rather, leered.
into her face. Surely, he will give it
up, said to myself. Not he. He
tried again and again on the same
tack. By this time my interest had
changed into angry disgust. My arm
fairly ached to smash him over the
head with my walking stick. That,
however, would have been assault and
battery, and l should have had to
stand trial for a felony. So l con-
cluded to risk committing a misdemea-
nor. AS the scoundrel advanced again,
/ put out my stick and tipped his
straw hat from behind so that it fell
over his face and to the sidewalk.
Goodness, how quickly he collapsed.
He went all to pieces, and ran across
the street as though Old Nick were
after him. l fancy it was many weeks
before he resumed his MASKING pro
clivities. John Gilmer Speed in

BROOKLYN BRIDGE SAVAGE.
A Spectacle of Boorishness that is the
Worst in America.

Did any of you ever happen to be
at the New York end of the Brooklyn
bridge between f1ve-thirty and six
thirty in the evening? There can be
seen bad manners at the worst. The
men, most of them youths, who are to
do the great work of the next two
decades, push and elbow as players do
in a football game. They even climb
into the cars on the wrong side before
the arriving passengers have dis
embarked A woman has no possible
chance to get a seat, and she runs
great risk of having her skirts torn
from her to get in at all. This dis
graceful exhibition takes place every
day ali the year round, and to a great
extent the same people act the same
part every day. Now, when these
youths get home and are ready for the
social exercises Of the evening, can
we expect them, with their changed
coats and freshened linen to have
changed their natures, to have be-
come Chesterfelds by some magic
transformation? l think not. In
grazing countries it is well known
that a dog that once kills "a sheep
will always be a sheep-killer. In
Scotland the sheep-killing dog is him
self executed. 1t may not be quite SO
bad as this with the Brooklyn bridge
seat-stealer, for he may reform and
grow gentler' but there is really very
little hope for him. No public eXecu-
toner will take his life, but he him
self commits in his practice a kind of
voluntary hari kari, for he kills that
which is best in a man, the flower and
the fruit of his gentility. When a
man has become a boor and a ruffian,
what good is there in the material
success which enables him to have a
house to live in, horses to drive, and a
comfortable balance in a bank? He
may have power. He may have ser
wants to fetch and carry He may have
wife and children. Men will hate him
and women will fear him. 1t were
better that he had never been born.
This daily spectacle on the Brooklyn
bridge is pretty surely the worst in
American. John Gilmer Speed i'll
