Sir Charles Napier fiercely opposed the
Introduction Of steam power into the
royal navy and one day exclaimed in
the house of commons:
"Mr. Speaker, when we enter her

chances of war we go prepared to be
hacked in pieces by cutlasses, to be
ridd1ed with Bullets or to be blown to

The last words he brought out with

could not face.

Village Politics.

The man who tries to keep up with
"the ring" in local politics will have to
get up early and stay up late. AS an
nounced in last weeks paper, just before
the time expired for making any change
or addition to. the official ballot, Frank
N. Carr resigned as trustee and Fred S.
Hartman was substituted in his place.
Mr.. Carr was the unanimous choice of
the caucus and Mr.. Hartman ought to
make good trustee, but it was not at
all characteristic of Mr.. Carr to wait
until the eleventh hour to resign. He was
the unanimous choice of large caucus
and was named because he is universally
recognized as one of the best trustees this
village has ever had-a hard worker,
man of good judgment, and one who
has unsel6shly worked for the best inter
ests of the village in all the five years that
he has been trustee. If he didn't want
the office he had plenty of time to say so
in the three days that elapsed after the
caucus. By allowing himself to be tool
of "the ring" he has disappointed his
friends of which he has a very large num-

Great Pledge Signing Campaign.

1t has been good many years since
special statewide pledge signing cam
paign has been carried on, but such a
campaign has been launched by the State
Anti-Saloon League. Superintendent
Morrow of Burlington, accompanied bv
the famous Neal Dow Quartette of Bos-
ton, have been touring the state and
great success has attended their efforts.
Their first series of meetings were held in
Rutland and Bennington counties in
October and the second covering the
state more fully, closed Friday evening,
Dec. 16, at Windsor. Meetings were held
in 15 license towns and nine no-license
towns. In the two campaigns 35 meet
ings were held, attended by 1865 people
and total abstinence pledge cards were
signed aggregating 2,628. Some con-
spicuous cases Of young men were num-
bered among the pledge signers, who con-
fessed to having been drinking with the
boys" but who expressed their determin-
alton to drink no more. The influence
cannot be measured of such campaign
where nearly 700 people were brought
face to face with the decision as to their
attitude toward the use of Intoxicating
liquor for drinking purposes. The infu-
ence cannot be measured even by the
number signing the pledge, for many
young man face to face with the decision
made it in favor of total abstinence
though he didn't sign thecard. Abraham
Lincoln signed the pledge in his early
manhood and made many temperance
addresses advocating pledge signing, and
this department of the league work is
characterized as the Lincoln Legion.

A Strong Committee.

Gov. Bell has appointed N. 6. Williams
of Bellows Falls, Col, Herbert F. Brig
ham of Bakersfield and Charles A. H.
Stafford OF Morrisville as special COM
mittee to investigate the State Insane
Asylum at Waterbury, in accordance
with joint resolution adopted by the
Vermont legislature. The committee
met at Montpelier yesterday in consul
tation with Gov. Bell and Attorney
General Fits and discussed the proposed
investigation. 1t is likely that they will
also investigate the penal institutions
and finish the work which the special
legislative committee began. The COM
nittee is strong one and will do it's
work thoroughly and impartially. Mr..
Williams is at the head of the Vermont
Farm Machine Company, Col. Brigham
is a prominent democratic lawyer, and
Mr.. Stafford is a Morrisville business
man who was one of the leaders in the
legislature of 1902

That Legislative Report.

The investigation was rapid transit
affair.
Then, the special INVESTIGATING COM
mittee was sent out to find something.
They stayed few hours in several places
and skinned through things. It's re-
port had just about the significance of a
ar-window inspection of railroad. The
examiner can feel bumps and get glimpses
OF bad ballasting, but that is all. The
same is true of the report of the special
investigating committee. About all the
committee did was to file an informa-
ton. We take it to be the demand of
the public that the trial shall follow. 1t
will take the most efficient expert six
months to examine the state department
accounts properly, but when it comes it
will be the best six months Vermont has
had in years. Rutland Herald.
Well, yes, it was rather rapid that's a
fact, and just bit on the rubber stamp
order, too.

The ..Magic Mirror, of Japan.

The magic mirror of Japan is a
disk of bronze, usually from six to
eight inches in diameter. It is silvered
on the front, which is a little convex,
and there is a raised pattern on the
back, which is rather concave. The
polished pattern is generally a land
scape, flowers, animals or Chinese
characters. It is not visible in the
front of the mirror, but when strong
sunlight is reflected from the front Of
the mirror to a wall or screen the pat
tern Of the back is visible on the
screen in bright lines on a black
ground. Professor W. e. Ayrton, f.
r. S., with Professor John Perry, r.
r. S., was the first to give the true
scientific explanation of this magical
effect. 1t seems that the design on
the back alters the convexity Of the
front, making it f1at-in fact, along
the lines of the pattern. Consequently
the light reflected from the front is
not dispersed at these points Of the
design, and they appear brighter on the
screen.-London Globe.

An Advertising Thought.

The merchant whose business needs a
stimulant, whose sales are unsatisfact DRY
or could be increased, should give re-
newed energy to his newspaper adver-
Using. Any advertising in newspaper
is of positive benefit to store, if it is
nothing more than running standing,
unchanged advertisement. But the de-
gree of benefit derived from adver Using
depends directly upon the attractiveness
of the announcements, and what they
contain in the shape of bargains or other
information about goods. The oftener
an ad is changed and the more timely it
is the more money it will earn for the
store.-fRutland News.

Lines To A Baby Girl.

Oh, she has such way with her
I stay with her
And play with her.
Her cheeks are round and dim pied and
Her eyes are Heavens blue.
My life is spent quite half with her,
/ laugh with her
And chaff with Ter,
Till she looks up with laughing eyes,
And all she says is "GOoi'
Sometimes I try to walk with her,
/ talk with her
And rock with her;
She knows someway my love for her
Is tender and is true,
And so sit and speak with her
And seek with her
The cheek of her
To brush with little kisses and
Quite all she says is COOL
She toddles in to share with me
My chair with me;
Her air with me
Is that of queen imperious
Ny heart her subject true.
Upon he floor she lies with me
And tries with me
To rise with me
When romping time is over, and
She looks up and says "Goo!"
oh. she is such part of me,
The heart of me,
And art of me
Could not express my love for her,
So tender andsso true;
She is the treasure blessed of me,
Hearts guest of me,
The best of me,
This little baby girl of me
Who looks up and says "Goo!"

Is 1T Your Daughter e

Fathers and Mothers: II you have
young daughter this picture-which is no
fancy One-ls for you. It is long after
curfew. The "nashers" lean on sidewalk
ratings and wait at street corners. There
they come down the street arm in arm
two young girls with fresh, rosy faces.
Abundant braids OF hair fall down their
backs. Natty little gowns come to the
shoe-tops. They are schoolgirls and in
their early teens.
There is no chaperon and no escort.
The girls are out alone and the hour is
rather late. A couple of smart young men
-"kno wing" young men-folIow the
girls. Young men and young women are
strangers to one another, and yet there
is Some sort OF free masonry between
them. The glances of the young men are
bold. The eyes of the girls are not timid
as they turn them backward with the
hint of smile. Flippant words are ex-
changed.
But what can one do? If their
natural guardians are not there to pro-
tect, what right have you to interfere?
Here and there may be found brave
stay and warn, and take the risk, but
such Good Samaritans are few. And so
young g1rls-lnfant women with fine
passions and powers of womanhood-
thinking to tread the primrose path of
dalliance, go down to ruin.
Whose fault is it? Is it the fault of the
girls? Who sent them out into the night
or permitted them to- go unprotected?
Who failed or neglected to warn them of
temptation? Who supposed when they
had dressed their girl as we'll as the
neighbours girls their duty was done?
There is only one answer to these quest
ions-Father and Mother.-[ The SYRIA
