Traveller MoruIiEe. on Canine Grated
Up for shipment Across
the Continent.

Passing along a city street the other
day, said a town traveller, according 70
the New York Sun. Il saw, tied on at
the end Of a loaded express wagon stand
ing In front Of an express Office. a crate
containing a dog, a dog that was be-
ing shipped somewhere by express.
Curiosity prompted me to look at
the shipping tag on the crate. The dog
was going to a city on the Pacific coast,
a long journey, but I didn't doubt It
would get there safely.
The crate was big enough for It's
comfort, and It seemed to me that the
dog was one likely to stand the journey
well. TO make friends with all the ex-
pressmen and messengers It met on the
way, and to get the best possible treat
ment.
I'm no Judge OF dogs, and may be
away on on this one. but this didn't
seem to me TO be a valuable dog. II
was s%hort-haired. brindle in color. OF
medium size and rather lanky build,
and with a rather stubby head. But It
had an intelligent and friendly face.
which was Just now rather wistful.
CAS- l put my hand across the top Of
the crate to turn the tag so that could
read the address. the dog reached its
head over toward me inside. glad to
meet with somebody, even If the some
body was a stranger.
1T was, in fact, a gentle, kindly dog.
and whether a valuable dog or not, I'll
bet It is n beloved by whomever It
IS going to meet over on the other coast,
and I'll bet that It makes friends with
and gets the best Of treatment from
every mar who has the handling Of It
on the way across"

Viscount Goschen presided at the

reports the London Telegraph. In some

scription, though he was glad to know
that in others it was but IS. There

was to play so great a part in their work,
but they should remember that genenal-

educational, it often was highly stimu-

of the readers in the public Libraries
came home wearied from their work,
and in a frame Of mind in which It
might be difficult for them to apply
themselves to some of the more serious

kind, they would find them, as soon as
the plunge had been taken, as great, OF

The newspapers and men who are
saving that il is all very well in theory
to talk of changing the system OF town
representation in the general assembly
by placing it on the basis of population
but that It can never be brought about,
are NOT doing much to help bring it
about. should be- one.but-you-
can't-do-it" is a poor friend OF any
cause. Plenty of men used to say the
same thing about prohibition, but they
don't say it now. If we all hang To-
pether and make business OF 1T, we
can succeed in getting the time-lock
taken off the state constitution wheh
the next opportunity comes, and theh
little by little some very urgent re.
forms in the organic law OF Vermont
can be accomplished. But they VIII
never be brought about by doing as
the Middlebury Register does, concede
the battle to the opposite side before
it is fairly begun.
And so far as that goes, the Messeni,,
ger will venture to say that, If the roll
we're called to- day, some of the smaller
towns in the state would vote to change
the basis of representation, although
such change would cost them an IN
dependent vote in the general assem-
bly. When this great question actually
does come up for settlement, we can
reckon something upon the inherent
sense of fairness of the people at large.
While it is true that the selfish inter
est of the smaller communities would
naturally dictate no surrender OF pow,
er, still the Messenger is hopeful
enough to believe that our friends IN
those towns even now realize the in
Justice of the present basis and that
thew will be amenable to reasonable
PROPOSITIONS for its change when the
time comes.
At all events, the optimist will make
more progress toward better thlngs
than the pessimist, every time. ST.

vermonts Big Canning Prospects.

As showing the benefits Of manu-
featuring business in Vermont towns,
the record of the underwear factory
opened at Richmond in July, 1900, Il
a good example. During the two anc
half years of its business, the com
pany has paid out to employment $50,
0Oo and to business men in the village
more than 50. 600 1t has sold land and
village lots for more than $1,000, on
which have been erected more than
$50. 600 worth of buildings. Those Zig
ures mean a good deal to town the
size of Richmond or to the average town
in the state If the citizens OF almost
any town would take hold of the mat
ter and make persistent effort it would
be possible to secure some kind OF a
manufacturing business which would
add largely TO the material prosperity
of the town. IL 100 towns in the state
were to secure manufacturing indus
tries which were as successful as the
Richmond concern, it would mean
much for Vermont. And right here
the News will repeat what it has often
said before. There is big field In
this state for the canning industry
Vermont produces vegetables which
are excelled by no other state. 1T

Indeed a Hopeful Sign.

The action of the Vermont Spool and
Bobbin Co. at Essex Junction in rails
ing the wages Of their employees, en-
tirely without solicitation by the en-
ployes, will go long way toward max
ing the feeling between the employer
and the employed more kindly. When a
business, in the course of its prosper
ity, is willing to share their good for
tune, without the necessity of contin-
ual hammering on the part of the men
who give their labor toward that sue
cess, it is, indeed, a hopeful sign.
When such an era of good feeling is at
hand. when the corporation, company
or employer evinces disposition to
let the laboring men share the advan
tage of his prosperity, when the EN-
ployes themselves lose the feeling of
suspicion of the other class, labor diff
ficulties will have been solved The
action of the Essex Junction company
is precursor of that happy day, let us
hope. Barre Times.
