Ernest Seton-Thompson Coming.

Many books have been written on nat
ural history, bat none have brought the
reader into closer touch with the ways
of animals than wild Animals | Have
Known" Though published over two
years ago this book is still great seller
and has nearly passed the 100000 mark.
In fact the demand for it is greater than
when first published. The writer is the
naturalist of Manitoba and st. Johnsbury
people will have the great pleasure of see,
ing and hearing him next month for he
is booked for Feb. Is in the Star course.
He will give an illustrated lecture and
tell the young and old all about the ami.
mails he has studied so faithfully in all
parts Of the United States and Canada
There is no lecturer today in so great de
mand as Mr.. Thompson and his articles
in the magazines the past year show that
be has lost none Of his power as a writer
Those who have heard him lecture say il
is treat of lifetime to hear first hanc
the stories of the woods and plains anc
to see on the screen the animals so famil
lar to all readers of his charming books

Hero Tales of the Soldier and Sailor.

"Hero Tales of the American Soldier
and Sailor" is the full title of book
which is being sold by the Vermont Sub
scription Book Co., whose office is in the
Citizens Bank building. 1t is written
by the heroes themselves and their COM
rades, and in its SO pages there is much
to inspire the reader with patriotism. 1t
gives the unwritten history OF American
chivalry from the earliest times down
through the war with Spain. Since the
revolutionary war the United States has
been engaged in II different conflicts.
History is not so impressively taught
by narrative as by pictures" For this
reason the publishers OF this volume have
illustrated and presented in graphic
detail stories the most thrilling and
valorous deeds of the brave men who
carried the stars and stripes to victory
on land and sea. 1t is a book which will
interest young and old and deserves a
wide sale as the events it describes are of
interest to every American.

Sextette Club and Gerald Lambert.

The concert by the Bostonia Sextette
Club, assisted by Gerald Lambert, boy
soprano, Mrs. Hennigar, reader, and
Miss Ellsbree soprano, was one of the
best concerts of the class that has visited
St. Johnsbury for long time. The
work of the Sextette Club of which c.
L. Stats, the famous clarinetist is direc-
tor was of very high order. The solos
bv Mr.. Stats and Walter E. Loud,
violinist, were among the most enjoy
able features Of the evening. Mrs. Henni-
gar gave her readings in very accep-
table manner, and Miss Ellsbree rendered
a soprano solo, with clarinet obigato,
responding to an encore. Master Gerald
Lambert, the boy soprano, who came IN
place of Earl Quick, is a wonderful
singer. He has voice of rare sweetness
and range. His enunciation is remark
able and his quiet unassuming manner
won the hearts Of the audience at once.
He was down for two numbers and res
ponded TO an encore each time. His rem
dering OF the Holy City" and indeed OF
each OF his numb bers, was truly wonder
full, and those present will not soon for
get the sweet.voiced boy who added SO
much to the enjoyment OF the evening.

Way below Zero Weather.

The coldest day OF the winter, and per-
haps the coldest for several years, was
last Sunday. Before the sun rose the
mercury ranged from $50 to 400 below
zero in various parts OF the town, and as
the skv was clouded all day it was a
severely cold day. The following Mon
day was very different and within Sc
hours the mercury was 80 above zero,
representing a change in temperature ol
over rs degrees. On Tuesday morning
the mercury was again below zero and
real winter weather once more. Such a
variation in temperature from Sunday to
Monday is very rare.

ing the entire plant of Russell and Nc
Kelvey were burned Sunday morning
The fire was discovered by the watch
man in the lower part of the mill be-
tween and O'Clock. The alarm was
given Immediately but the flames spread
with such rapidity that little could be
done toward saving the property. The
origin of the fire is in doubt. In the mil
was about $1,000 worth OF flooring. The
loss is covered by insurance, The firm is
continuing its logging business, and it is
expected the plant will be rebuilt at once

will by the quality of their high class
music.

THE House and Senate seem a
good ways apart in their methods in
reaching a reduction of taxes, the first
reporting a bill making the reduction
$40, 100000 and the Senate $50, 900, 900.
The real vital issue between the two
measures-the House bill as passed
and the Senate bill as reported-is that
the Senate Finance Committee has re-
duced the sum now raised on malt
liquors by about "a, 900, 900 and retains
the tax on bank checks, yielding ST.
100000 balancing most of the diff
ference by reducing the tax on bank
capital about 81, ,5OO,O 900.
To reduce the tax on beer and make
it up in part by retaining the tax on
check stamps and to use the remainder
and the retention of the tax OH insur-
ance to balance a reduction of the tax
on bonds is unwise.
The bill of the House struck off the
tax on checks but that of the Senate
retains it, though it is the most obiec
tionable to the mass of the people thar
any other feature of the war tax. 1t il
to be hoped that it will be limited
when the conference committee of thu
two houses shall meet.

THE bill introduced by Senator
Alice last week against slot machine
gambling, is one that should claim the
attention of every member of the Leg
islature. 1t is wonderful the desire of
the mass of the people to get something
for nothing-a thing without paying
for it. Aud, it seems to be the young
or neer-do-wells who patronize these
;nstitutions-the class of people who
have to be protected by the State
against the rapacit y of vultures. The
''slot machine is a new-fangled device
of gambling. If the coin dropped in
hits the spring right, which is not
often, he will get what is in It, A five
cent coin may secure the boy fifty
cents. One lucky drop will outweigh
the ten who lose all. These machines,
we hear, are rented out on shares, the
owner going around once week. The
share Of man one week recently in
Clayton was $500 The owner get.
ting the same amount, would show
that having out a number the owner
could be a robber on high scale.

For ten years there has been no habit
so injurious to our boys as the cigar
cite or tobacco habit 1t is more prev
alent among the uncultured white and
colored youths who somehow think it
is "manly" and persist in it even
though they may feel most uncOmfOrt-
able. These persistent smokers are
mostly injured by the nicotine they in
hale in their systems, and grow up to
be puny men if they do not indeed die
in early life. The friends of such boys
feel thankful to the Legislature for
taking up the subject. The large vote
of IA to 3 in the Senate to prohibit the
sale of cigarettes in our State, makes
it hopeful that the bill will pass the
House and become a law. Several
years ago the Legislature enacted a
law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
to children under II years old, but it
has been a dead letter. For there will
always be found persons over II who
will for a consideration procure them
for the children. There are plenty of
persons who encour age children in
this vice simply because they are op-
posed to restrictive measures, and for
the same reason oppose most every
thing good because they are set that
way.
If the Legislature passes the law in
the form it now bears-the sale IN any
form-it will deserve and receive the
thanks of everyone who has seen it's
injurious effects to say nothing of the
offensive smoke.

WHAT is called Courtesy" is often
barrier in law aud and Legislative
matters by making the larger interests
serve the less. An exchange gives the
following illustration:
"On Monday, 21st ult., in the Senate
of the United States was the scene of
such courtesy as could not be exhibited
in any other place or country. When
Cushman X. Davis, the Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
latiOns died, the Governor of Mime
sofa, appointed as his successor,
Charles E. Towne, who had been nom
mated for vice-president by the Popu-
lists, although the Legislature filed
the vacancy by the election of Moses
E. Clapp, a Republican, within few
days. In fact Mr.. Towne was only
Senator for six days, and would not
have served so long but for the courtesy
spoken of Mr.. TOwne desired to
make, for political effect and cOmpaign
literature, a speech upon the Philip
pine question, and Mr.. Clapp waited
two or three days before presenting
himself to be sworn in. Consequently
on Monday, Mr.. Towne delivered him
self of his first and only speech, and
before he had time to seat himself, and
while he was receiving the congratu-
lations of the Senators, Mr.. Clapp was
sworn in and Mr.. Tawne became an er.
This is one of the peculiar conditions
arising from the American system of
government aud the manner of elect
ing Senators.
