Concerning Jaqs,

It is do~n in the ranks of the toll
or for daily bread that the awful
blight of the humdrum is most .-eenly
felt, and here the need of an inteili-
cent form Of jag Is most evident.
Dress is forbidden as a luxury be-
yond attainment. Alcoholic excess
is a curse whose hideous after results
are only too we'll known. Blessed Is
the man who shall find or devise a
new and harmless Jag that shall come
into the tired lives OF the masses like
burst Of sunshine on leaden day,
dispensing and haunting shadows OF
vice jags, and giving the necessary
relief from grinding monotony with
out any demoralizing after Effects

( Bait!#

A class in Sunday school was list
ening to lesson on patience. The
topic had been carefully explained, and
as an aid to understanding the teach
er had given each pupil card bearing
the picture of boy fishing. Even
pleasure, !" said she, requires the exer-
else of patience Look at the boy fish
ing! He must sit and wait and wait.
He must be patient" Having treated
the subject very fully, she began with
the simplest, most practical question:
"And now can any little boy tell me
what We need most wien we go fish
ing?" With one voice was the answer
shouted-"bait!"

cheerfuIness Counts.

The Cosmopolitan says the longevity
OF the medical man is materially less
than that of workers Of other profess
sions. Only those with a sound
physique, other things being equal,
can win in struggle for success. The
sick look with confidence to the well.
They demand the hearty dogmatism
that con es from the Overlooking Of
animal spirits. They enjoy the cheer
full optimism that comes from a good
digestion. They lean upon the doc
tor in their weakness and yield willing
obedience TO his kindly influence.
Much of the power possessed for good
may be outside of pills or potions, cor
rect theories or sound deductions

Cats to Xiv Prairie Doas.

The owners of an enormous sheep
ranch in Montana suffer SO much loss
tom the consumption by prairie dogs
of the tender shoots of grass, tia:
they have determined to import cats
enough to exterminate the dogs. The
hrst company of 100 cats is being re.
cruited at ST. Paul A facetious writer
in the New York Post shows anxiety
for the future of the cats, their work
being accomplished. He says il they
do kill the prairie dogs they will have
the choice, subsequently. of starva.

Hare as a Universal Provfder.

Hare as Universal ProvIder.
In the economy Of nature the hare
is the one creature that stands be-
tween most of the carnivorous animals
and starvation. In the northern woods
where snow lies on the g-nund fo-
more than half the year, and where
vegetation is of slow growth, the hare
serves as a machine for converting
birch twigs into muscular, lean meat,
and providing it in such quantitiea
that hawks, owls, wildcats, weasels
and foxes can live IN comparative
luxury. A pair of hares under favor.
able conditions produce 10000 indi.
yiduals in four years.

Better Try Again.

The people of Vermont will pass on a
question of great Importance on
February 3. perhaps the most importan
that has arisen during the past hal
century. The decision of that day may
stand for many years to come. Pro
hibiton has been Vermont's system of
regulating the liquor traffic for 80 years.
If it suffers defeat at the polls Feb
ruary 3 the result will be license and
local option as the settled policy of the
state. Don't let any voter delude him
self with the thought that we can try a
change and if we don't like it, we can
change back in two years.
In even so short period as two years
the saloon would become too strongly
entrenched to be easily routed. If the
majority vote on February 3 is Eyes, -
license and local option will become the
settled method of regulation.
On the other hand if the majority vote
is mo-" it will by no means assure the
continuance of prohibition. Thousands
of our best citizens who do not favor
prohibition cannot support the proposed
license law. If the state goes against
the new law they will do what they can
to secure broad gagged, sensible, eflic lent
liquor legislation in the next legislature.
Prohibition has its evils but many
believe that the new law has greater
evils. They believe that the combined
wisdom of the state ought to envOlve a
system of regulation better adapted to
the needs and conditions of Vermont
than that provided by the new law. a
law which provides for the legitimate
desires and needs of the people and yet
eliminates from the saloon the element
of personal and municipal gain and
greed is in accordance with the mo st
advanced thought on the subject of
temperance. If local option, which
means local license, is defeated the ne xt
legislature will frame new law which
will combine the best features of tn e
prohibitory and the dispensary systems,
with perhaps some of the best features
of the proposed license law. Will it not
be worth while to let the legislature try
again? 1t is possible that the present
legislature does not know all there is to
learn about liquor egislaton.-Bellows

railway company. This company built
the Casino and opera house half way
between Bennington and Glastonbury,
and also built the club house at the
terminus, which was formerly the old
sawmill of the Glastonbury company.
For three successive summers the
Bennington and Woodford electric rail-
way was in operation. Without at
tempting to trace its history from its
inception ia 1895 to its downfall IN the
flood of 1898, further than to note that
the project was primarily intended to
boom Camp Comfort as summer resort

do, because the manager at the outset
piled in many carloads of eXcursionists

came for quiet and rest and did not like
