Neither Bell nor Stanton have the
chance of wax doll in n ladie of hot
lead If it comes TO a stand-up fight
It's a solemn fact that in that dizzy
whirl Of delegates about the Van
Ness l didn't hear Bells name mem
toned once and all the impression
Stanton made was when he came into
the state committee room and said
"Haar-raar-ra? and the committee
said, Hello zed." and kept on figur-
ing! Is that the kind of a magnetic,
vote getting, progressive, man-im
candidate the republican
party wants. You know a whole lot
better.

The frogs have croaked and the sap
buckets are gathered in. The camp
fires are dead and the plugs are pulled
from the bleeding naples. Those who
said we needed more snow and those
who said we needed night frosts. those
who said hailstorms had done their
deadly work and those who hollered
for rain are all silent. And the re-
suit? One of the best sugar seasons
in the history of Vermont. Sweet
thought, suggestive of fiapjacks and
sugar on snow, and demonstrating one
salient fact, sugaring is never over
till the frogs begin to vocalize.
