Some joker, or jokers, created good
deal of excitement last Friday afternoon,
and caused one or more women to faint.
A "-ummy" was stuffed with hay, and
was taken to the root of the court house,
where it was allowed to fall over the
railing about the dome. 1t rolled down
to the guttering, where it hung The
thing looked very much like a man, and
nearly every one who saw it thought it
was a man. 1t was cruel joke, and
was hard on nervous people.
The Evening News of Wednesday said
one of the mental ornaments was
blown off the court house by the wind.
We haven't missed any of the county
officials, and, as the News doesn't state
which one was blown off, we are at a
loss to know which one it was. They
are all mental ornaments, of course.

Good Showing of Vermont Banks.

A recent issue of the Essex juno
tion Syndicate papers gave the list
ers' valuation of the stocks of the diff
ferent savings banks and trust COM
panies and the national banks of the
state. The list shows there are 10
institutions whose stock exceeds the
par value mark of 100. There are
80 institutions whose stock is listed
at par, while the remaining II in
the list range from 90 to "a, there be-
in only one below 90.
OF the sixty-one banks whose
stocks are quoted, the Lamoi1le
County Savings Bank and Trust Co..
of Hyde Park heads the list, it's val
uation being 100. There are only
two other savings banks and trust
companies in the state-the Mont
pelier and the Burlington, the form
er 135, the latter 125-that are listed
as high as 12O, thus placing the La
noble County Savings Bank ahead
VI lllIllS ClSC III lAlC STATE d lat
in which Lamoille county people
have reason to take just pride.
The president of the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co.
is ex-Gov. c. S. Page who has given
the business of the bank much atten-
ton and takes pride, rightly, too,
in the splendid showing it now
makes. 1t is one of Vermont's most
solid financial institutions.
The list, as published in the Es-
sex Junction papers, shows that a
good majority of the banks in the
state are upon a solid foundation
and stock is listed as being worth
its par value or more.

The sleepy newspapers in Berlin
are for the first time in their lives
carrying long cable dispatches from
the United States. OF course the
occasion for this is Prince Henry's
visit here, but the results of this de-
parture of the newspapers into a new
field will be far reaching. An i'm
mediate result is that as the Emper-
or rode by one of the offices this
week, he sa1uted the American flag
which one of the papers had put over
it's office door, and the crowd Cheered.
Such an occurrence would have been
unthinkable few months ago, when
the same papers were filled with ar
ticles bitterly resenting the Ameri-
American tariff; or four years ago
when these papers were violently
taking sides with Spain in our war
with that country. Some of the ed
itors are mourning over the extra
expense of these cable dispatches,
and declare that their papers will
have to forego dividends this year
because of them. They fervent1y
hope that nothing further will occur
in this country to make necessary
such unprecedented extravaganza.
But newspaper development does not
go backward and these editors will
find that Prince Henry's welcome
here has stirred up an interest in us
which hereafter will not be satisfied
with a newspaper which leaves the |
United States out of its dispatches.
How deep this interest is can be
seen from the fact that the North
German Gazette has cut out its usual
serial novel and put in its place ex-
tracts from an authorized translation
IF President Rooseve1t's ''Ranch
Life, and the Hunting Trail. J" If
III they know of the President is
gathered from this work they will
lave a very one-sided idea of his
and it may confirm their
lotion that big game can be hunted
few miles from Broadway, but 9TH
n editors will correct this notion
With their accounts of the President
IN the trail of the political spoils-
nan and the interest thus created
will be satisfied with a German thor
ughness quite Leyond our habit of
kimming the top of the news. Ger ;
nan papers may again become hos
lie to us-they probably will. But
lever again will this attitude of hos (;
ility be so easy as it has been, and {
t will not be so easily expressed, S
because light will have penetrated '
he vast storehouse of ignorance con- '
erning us, which has hitherto been |
rawn upon when the ambitious and ;
'reedy Yankees were to be de-
ounced. In this country two things V
will have been bettered. 1t will not I

motive for a greater navy is to be (

A Bride,s Clever Idea.

Out in a big apartment house on Co lumbia heights there dwells n young married woman who Is as naive as the bride in the comic weeklles. The house. keepers who live In the same house with her have been somewhat annoyed of late by mice. The young woman met one of them in the hall the other day, and the conversation naturally turned on their common pests.
 "The mice have been 80 bad lately" said the elder woman, "that l keep ev- erythlng locked up and all my eatable' in the boxes"
 The younger woman's eyes sparkled with eagerness.
 "Myr she said. "I wouldn't dare do that. wouldn't want 10 run such Q risk. leave crackers and cheese lyins about every night when I go to bed so that when the mice become hungry they'll find something 10 eat and not gnaw things. I'm always afraid they'll bite holes In my new tablecloths and my nice centerpleces If l don't leave the cheese right where they can find it easily. feel perfectly safe when !! know there's plenty for them to eat right where they can get at lt."
 There's nothing after all like having . clever Idea like that now and tben.- Washington Post.
