It alisimmers down to a question as to
which Is the more profitable for state, to
be an industrial region, or a sportsman's
paradise. Vermont is not large enough In
area for both, St Adams Messenger
The question is easily enough answered.
There are few people indeed who would
say that as "sportsman's paradise Yer
mont would be more profitable than as an
industrial region Vermont with its
comparatively small wooded tracts could
scarcely serve as a game preserve, MOI
would the people care to see the industrial
regions transformed into their former
wildness inst for the purpose Of raising
game What industrial activity the
state now has is treasured highly aud
would not be exchanged for al the shekels
that the sportsman might pour IN. But
the wheels Of industry are far from Gov
ering the states area, and until the time
has arrived when the game shall have
been driven out by those same wheels Of
industry what Is the objection to getting
as much profit as possible out Of the linn
tied ssportsman's paradise?n Bnt let not
the advance Of industry be checked In the
least BY any catering to the sportsman, to
the detriment Of the other.

Shortly after the spanish-American
war, says the Worlds Work, among
the first American novelties sent TO
Spain were the nickel in the slot ma
chimes, the musical kind Unluckily tile
FIRST machines played American airs.
They were quickly demolished When
the next lot of machines were Imported
It was carefully advertised 10 advance
that these contriyances would play
Spanish airs only. This was taken as a
sort Of national compliment, and the
American slot machines jumped into
sudden favor, especially the gambling
varieties. as the Spaniards are very
fond Of all games Of chance. In a place
like Malaga there are now more than
forty such machines, each earning $3.50
daily on the average.
