Fall Festival for Burlington.

Following the pace set by Western
and Southern cities of late years, the
business menlof Burlington propose to
give a Fall Festival, the date of which
will be announced in few days. 1t is
the desire on the part of the promo
ters to make the Festival an industrial
event as well as one of amusement.
1t may be said at this time that the
date will not be later than the first
week in September, when it will be
possible to secure many of the greater
attractions which will take part in
the big Hamilton, Can. Festival, which
occurs the middle of August.
Mr.. @. A. Barber, one of Burling-
toms leading merchants, has the af-
fair in charge and is organizing a
company of the leading business men
to further the event. 1t is planned to
cover a wide territory and to bring to
Burlington as many people as possible
for the purpose of getting them &C
quainted with the leading and the
largest city in Vermont. 1t is thought
to be an excellent plan to make the
visitors during the week of the Festi-
val familiar with the educational, bus
mess, industrial features of the city,
and every facility possible will be
brought to bear in order to carry out
this plan. Amusements of nearly
every description will be provided for
entertainment of the visitors and the
week promises to be gala one.
Arrangements are being made with
all the railroads in the State and the
steamboat lines on Lake Champlain
for low rates throughout the week
and for special excursions on certain
days OF the week. Gov. Mccullough
is to be invited to open the Festival
and the dignitaries of both state and
city are to be asked to be present.
Each day of the week will be given to
particular feature and there will be
no day on which the visitor will not
find himself amply repaid for his visit
to the Queen City.

In a communication to the Barton
MONITOR, Miss Laura Moore, of Bar
net, one of the earnest, devoted
women who are trying to bring the
Vermont legislature to the point of
granting woman suffrage, undertakes
to justify the circulation of petitions
TO the law makers on the ground that
"the men who are in the legislature
alone have the power to grant-or
refuse-their request, and are the
persons to be influenced" 1t seems
to the Messenger that she misses the
point of the recent argument. The
contention is that until the majority
of the women themselves manifest a
desire for the franchise, these petit
tons to the legislature ostensibly in
the behalf of women are in reality
praying for something that the
women do not want. When the ma
joritY of women actually do want the
right to vote, they will get it without
resort to many petitions.-S. Adams
Messenger.

A mother in an adjacent prohibition
town writes the NetUs TO inquire:
"Why is it that the farmers boys in
such great numbers go to the saloons
now, whereas year ago such con-
duct was great rarity?" The answer
Is easy. 1t is because the bars are
attractive and easy of access and the
sale and drinking of liquor has the
appreciation of the people of Yer
mont. That this good woman's town
dlsapproved the sale of liquor is of no
avail. That action won't help her or
her neighbors to keep their boys
away from the bars. AS the North
field NelUs we'll puts it: sit is true as
stated by license advocates that "a
town may vote for prohibition if it
does not like license but it does not
follow that this action will do away
with some of the Objectionable fea-
lures of the license system. Water
bury is a living example of this fact.
That town has always been strongly
prohibition and under the old law it
was probably freer from illegal sell
ing than any town of its size in the
state. Cases of intoxication we're
rare and its standard of morality was
particularly high. 1t gave large
majority against license both at the
referendum vote and at the town
meeting in March. Two license
towns, Montpelier and Stowe, are
easily accessible and since selling be-
gan in those places the cases of in.
toxication in Waterbury have beer
numerous. 1t is evident that the
bibulously inclined go to the license
towns and bring home a load which
makes trouble for their home towr
and incidentally refutes the precious
theory that a town can escape tn,
ills of the liquor traffic by voting fol
prohibition when IL Is accessible Il
license towns. "-Rutldnd Net0s.

Mount Pisgah.

Above . lakes bright glistening tints
There shows o mountains crest so bold,
Where red mems feet once left their prints
And there the widest tales were told.
Brave old mountain, towering high,
Showing dark shadows weird but grand,
When summer clouds go sailing by
Like phantom boats with warrior bands.
Gold winter blasts with sullen roar
Drive hard against its rugged side,
But, like the waves that dash the shore,
Its powers lost, its viii defed.
I oft have watched this mount so grand:
Seen its dark crest all white with snow,
Frost tinted trees on every hand,
With fields all green down just below.
On pictures fair you then may gaze
When autumn sun sets clear and bright,
And there send back its golden rays
OF matchIess beauty on this height.
Then through the moonbesms of the night
There shows this mountains outlines clear
And like q brave old warrior knight
1t stands and braves the north wind drear

Devoe Lead and Zinc makes every stroke
Of the brush count. Mixed paint wastes

We can't dwell on every reason for using
Devoe Lead and Zinc. There are too many.
X. X. Bowman, Girard, Pa, writes:
Mr.. Burt Young bought one gallon of Devoe
Lead and Zine in halves to paint rooms on
