So Much to Show!

This is a fairly persuasive jolly that
the st. Louis Globe Democrat is giving
us:
"All the forty-five states, except
three, have arranged to take a distinc-
tive part in the Worlds fair, and all
the territories will be represented. The
only states that have deferred action are
Vermont, New Hampshire and Della
ware, and all these, two of which were
original colonies, have so much to show
at a great exhibition, historically and
industrially, and all comprise so
many enterprising people, that their
may be counted on"
Oh, of course-just SOL

The Rutland News makes bad rent
in the web of its license policy when 1t
points encouragingly to the fact that
the city constable will have fewer I'M
paid taxes to- collect this year than
usual. How that can be, with most of
the money up there going into the sa-
looms and most of the men into the
gutter, it is hard to understand

some of the abandonment to impulse

so solicitous respecting the pernicious
influence of the publications of anar-

With victims, states attorneys,

surprising that crime is increasing

good story is going the rounds of
the papers which might serve as a
warning in some Vermont circles, al
| though the incident happened away
out west. A practical joker who had
received a request from a southern Ii
quor house for addresses to which cir
culars and other advertising matter
might be sent, filled the blanks with
names of people known as total alb
stainers. Some time afterward the
practical joker was amazed to receive
from the liquor house draft for s14
and a letter explaining that this sum
represented commission due him for
business transacted with the people
whose names he had sent them. We
may thus see that the ways of the
practical joker are not always past
finding out and that those of hypocrisy
very seldom are.

Bishop Potter is the latest to cry out
against the passing of the old fashioned
large family. He claims that the best
men and women of the republic have
come from large families and attrib-
utes their strong and noble character
to their association with many brothers
and sisters in early home life, the self
denial and doing for each other, as well
as the responsible feeling for those
nearest and dearest to them, in order
to make the best men and women of
them. An only child, he thinks, has a
most unfortunate lot, reared in an at
of selfishness. This subject,
so much discussed of late, has many
phases and this view of Bishop Pot
ters is only one. But it is undoubted-
ly true that a large family is a strong
of unselfshness.
