In his last poem, Kipling referred
to "the Goth and the Shameless Hun. - -
A week has passed, and no one can tell
why he sjamboked the poor Huns in
that fashion. They are not Germans
And they never harmed England. -
Springfield Republican.
Never mind. They rhymed with
"run' and the Germans didn't, and
Kipling was writing poetry and not
fact. Not even Alfred Austin could
make anybody but Hun rhyme with

most dread. "
Beside all this, If the people Of
Vermont are still, after fifty years
of prohibition, so addicted to drink
that they cannot pass a saloon without
getting load, it is high time thai
we tried some other method than pro
hibition to check the liquor habit.

Vermont, if the action of her legiis-
l,ture is a correct reflex, seems to be
of the opinion that with the advent OF
license and the open saloon. life is go
ing to be worth living. Folly OF this
sort ought to be self-evident.-St.
Johnsbury Caledonian.
Wrong again, neighbor. Vermont
does not feel anything of the sort. II
is wise man who takes his sensations
as they come, and does not try to an
ticipate them. Vermont-or rather, a
large portion of the voters-know that
life is not worth living under the pro-
libitory system with its attendant
evils. That's all.

The Middlebury Register says high
license is doomed beyond any question
in Vermont, and yet continues to de-
vote the principal part of its editorial
space to fighting it. Editor Bartlett

correspond with the time his summer
hotel guests arrived.

chapter as "the fin-de steele knight, "
careless of his weapons, and careful
only of his armor and the object on the

THE GREAT SECRET

the health of the delicate womanly organs

whenever the feminine functions are de-
ranged or disturbed the consequences are
felt by every nerve in the body. Severe
headache, backache, pain in the side, and
bearing down pains are borne with by so
many thousands of women that one who is
In sound health is rare exception. Most
