Who Pays the Freight.

The work on the bar room of the
Montpelier House is progressing rapidly
and it is probable it will be ready for
business by Monday next. A 16-foot
Richmond bar. made of oak with a
mahogany top has been installed. There
are to be three large mirrors. one of
which has not yet arrived but is eX-
pected today Montpelier Daily Journal.
This bar and the bar room fixtures
will cost not less than $500 and the
license fee is $1,000, government license,
advt. etc. $50, more.
Who pays for all this:
The licensee is not putting this amount
of cold cash into this business unless he
is reasonably sure it will pay; that is pay
all it costs and profit besides.
Who will pay the bills:
The men who patronize the bar.
This is an object lesson that every man
who drinks should ponder we'll Can
you afford to be patron; Better drop
"a nickle or dime in the savings bank
every time you are tempted to patronize
the bar. The average drnker who
would do this for one year would
be surprised at the amount he had
on deposit. Try it,

The United States government has
taken measures to protect the horses
used on the rural delivery routes and
other government work, and has
adopted a new section in the pro-
visions for contracts requiring con-
tractors and drivers to keep the
horses they use in good condition.
The order will affect 100000 horses
used on government contracts in the
west and thousands of drivers. Cruel
treatment while in the service will
be considered cause for imposing a
fine on the contractor or requiring
the dismissal of the driver.-Boston

The Old "School Hearse.

One summers eve, with pensive tho't,
| wandered idly to and fro,
Needing not the way | went
Or where my footsteps led me to.
| watched the sunsets brilliant glow
And then, the softly waning light,
And little dreamed of danger near
On this most calm and peaceful night
But sudden comes the deafening roar
OF many waters rushing by
And am hurled into the flood
All in the twinkling of an eve,
sank, rose, shreked for help.
a farmer near by heard the sound,
He quickly to my rescue came
And landed me upon dry ground
Gazing in wonder and amaze
feebly gasped, "What's struck this town."
In accents mild he answered thus,
" It's Town Hill tears rolling down,
The mothers of this rustic vale
DO spend their hours IN frantic grief
They tear their hair, they wildly wall,
But falling tears bring no relief.
For every morning, through the street
The" School Hearse" trundles to and fro,
And gathers in its wicked NAV,
The Youngsters who to school must 90
While those poor females wiring their hands,
And madly watch the precious load
As it sallles forth md perils dire
And dangers lurking on the road.
And so they sob and moan and groan,
Like crazy lunatcs or worse,
And curses wild are daily hurled
Upon that awful old School Ilearse.'

THE LICENSE LAW.
Echoes from Along the Firing Line All
Over the state.
License in Montpelier.
From the Daily Journal

License in Montpelier.
From the Daily Journal
The journal is not disposed to unduly
criticise the workings of the new license
law at SO early a date, but believing that
its readers, whether they favor the
license system or are opposed to 1t,
want to know how it affects Mont
pelier, it is proposed to freely discuss
the matter in a general way from time
to time. 1t has been stated that the
largely increased number of arrests
since license went into effect is due to a
changed policy on the part of the police
department and not to an increase in
drunkenness. This apology must pro-
woke smile from even the most ardent
license advocate who has had his eyes
open for the past ten days. This is not
intended as a criticism of the police de-
partment, for if ever officers did their
duty the Montpelier policemen certainly
have during the time stated and great
credit is due to them for it. But resi-
dents on the less frequented streets of
the city know that if the police force
was increased fourfold it would be inn
possible to apprehend all the intoxicated
men that appear. Residents of Lower
State street last evening were treated to
the spectacle of a man so drunk that
navigation was utterly impossible. and
no arrest was made, and this is not an
uncommon occurrence. but the police
are not to blame for it in the least. Had
the case been reported the man in ques-
ton would certainly have stayed i'll Jail
over night. a suggestion of how the
law affects industry is gathered from
the statement of a local manufacturer
who said to a journal representative
that since the license went into effect
the absentees from his works had aver
aged more than twenty-five per cent. of
the total force each day, and the force
is not a small one, either This same
manufacturer has figured out that con-
siderable more than enough money to
buy a comfortable home was paid out
for liquor in this city during last week
alone.
There are other instances of this order
that might be mentioned but it is I'M
necessary.
As stated at the beginning the Journal
does not mention these things in the
spirit of criticism, but Montpelier people
are up against situation that deserves
study, and it is only right and fair that
they should know the facts.

West Ahead or Inc Eas.

All sorts of new plans for teach
ing agriculture are being tried in the
west. In Missouri an exhibition car
is hauled by the railroads. This car
carries samples of farm products for
exhibition. Speakers go along, and
the car can be turned into a small
hall for holding a meeting if de-
sired. In dairy section, stock food,
forage plants, dairy utensils and
even animals will be carried. In a
fruit-growing section tools and APP
pliances for cultivating, spraying,
etc. will be on hand. All this is I'M
