Some Significant Figures.

When the campaign in favor of the ref
erendum liquor law was In progress Mr..
Clement claimed that tho license vote
for governor would be augmented on Feb
ruary 8, by the democratic strength as
well as by many votes cast for McCul-
Tough in September. and he confidently
predicted that the vote for tho new law
would be 1900.
AS matter of fact the yes vote was
only so,602 or over Il, 900 less than the 1900
confidently claimed by him in advance
and only about $500 more than the 1920
votes received by the license candidate In
September.
The total vote cast for governor was
as follows: Mccullough, 31,s64; Clement,
2s,oo1; McGettrick, 1884; Sherburne, 2,4es;
scattering s making the total vote in
the September election Go,935. The total
vote last Tuesday was CO, 2o5, or 9,730 less
than the gubernatorial vote.
An interesting feature of the result OF
Tuesdays contest is that in the foui
counties Of Caledonia. Lamoille, Orange
and Orleans not a single town was car.

in Vermont was represented.
When one studies the returns from the
different towns and counties with ref.

legislative action, one can appreciate how
thoroughly legislative elections may mis-
represent the sentiment of the people as &

Much That Every Woman
Desires TO Know
About Sanative AntiSep-
tic Cleansing
And About Curing Lucrative
Pains and Weaknesses.

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of Cuticura Soap, ONT
ment and Pills in the antiseptic cleans
ing of the mucous surfaces and Of
the blood and circulating fluids, thus
affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening discharges, alterations, in
Examinations, feelings, irritations, relax
atoms, displacements, pains and irregu-
larities peculiar to females. Hence the
Cuticura remedies have q wonderful
influence in restoring health, strength
and beauty to weary women, who
have been prematurely aged and in
valided by these distressing ailments,
as we'll as such sympathetic Affections as
anHmia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous
ness and debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relie,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Millions of the worlds best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, for preserving, purifying
and identifying the skin, for cleansing
the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff,
and the stopping Of falling hair, for
softening, whitening and soothing red,
rough and sore hands, in the form Of
baths for annoying irritations, intlam-
nations and Lucrative weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
we'll as for all the purposes Of the
toilet, bath and nursery.

Exit "Hypocrlsy."

The horror of Hypocrisy" exhibited by
the organs of high license in the recent
campaign, must have been noticed by all
observers. The battle having gone against
the thirty thousand "hypocritos' who
voted mo" on Tuesday, and the five or
six thousand voters who agreed with
them, but who did not get to the polls
and the forty thousand good "hypocriti-
cal" women who would nave been glad
to vote no. will of course subside and
repent, and show fruits meet for re-
pentance' ny confessing that there was
not a spark of candor or honesty in their
opposition to the open saloon; and that
what they were after all the time was
free rum under prohibition, in place of
severe restriction under high license. The
nti-"hypocrites' will of course set a
truth and candor. After the Sd of March
no man who has obtained a drink on
Sunday at licensed bar will ever pre-
varicate if called as a witness against
the bar owner. No lawyer hired to defend
a licensed saloon-keeper for selling to
minors or drunkarls--f Il prosecution for
such an oftense ever occurs--wil deny
that his client has broken the law, II
the sales of rum increase ten-fold in any
town the sellers and their organs Will
frankly admit or perhaps boast of the
fact. Everybody will candidly admit that
the saloon is the best friend of thrift
good order, education and religion. Hy-
pocrsy having been voted down, and
truth and candor voted in. in regard 10
the liquor traffic. we may expect tho
same to prevail in other matters till NO
liar in Vermont will ever pretend that ne
is speaking the truth. no thief deny that
he stole; gamblers and keepers OF houses

MY MOTHERS GOOD OLD TIMES.

" =.
on my head the frost is gath'ring with the
Inning of the years;
on my features are tho records of thous-
and hopes and fears;
In my cheCk-bo there is written that
which forty years ago
Would have made my being tingle with
II wild. cXultant glow;
But alas, within my spirit there's an
cver-present ache
Tor the old corn beef and cabbage that
my mother used to make.
! remember when ] wandered DER the
hills in boyish slee;
And the dinner horns loud echo brought
no boding thoughts to me;
! was young and WAS happy; and my
stomach noer went back
On n single proposition that my teeth
would dare attack,
Never thought of dyspepsia as I charged
the jelly cake
And tho Old corn beef and cabbage that
my mother used to make.
But the years have brought prosperity.
Tho servants in my halls
Keen their straining ears a-quiver for the
faintest of my calls;
| have eaten Of the latest; have drunk
the richest cup
Just to realize at last that these have
used my stomach up;
And I'd give my vast possessions to be
able to partake
OF the old corn beef and cabbage that my
mother used to make.
All the years I've sought the dollar, strug-
glei upword slow and sure.
With my pocket growing wealthy and
my stomach growing poor:
Every year | find my table more with
luXures replete:
Every year | find that fewer are the
things that | can eat!
TIL the pathway back To childhood often
times | ycarn to take
TO the old corn beef and cabbage that my
mother used to make.
And sometimes in blissful moments /
will fall asleep and dream
or the russell buckWheat steaming and the
sorghum syrups gleam--
Dream that once more | am living where
Welsh rarebits are unknown
And the noon hour unacquainted with the
sad dyspeptic moan;
Then | jccr at pepsin tablets and forget
my stomach ache
In the old corn beef and cabbage that my
mother used to make.

More Plumber Was pound.

work yesterday securing evidence against

day night stealing tobacco. Before tho
officers were through they had located a
quantity OF tobacco and various provisions
which had been stolen by the boys from
the warehouses of the Burlington Grocery
Co.. the Northern Provision company and
from freight cars.
The value of the goods is not estimated
but will amount to considerable. The ar
rest Of these boys, who are all under 81
years Of age Is another proof of the state
ment made by Chief Brownel in his an
