THERE IS 10 ENTHUSIASM.

Unusual lack OF interest Is reported
from Vermont In the political campaign
now well under way there. Only about
500 people turned out at the opening rally
ID Rutland, and at one of the principal
towns where meeting was advertised to
organize a Republican club, no one APP
peared. "a merchant Ia thriving interior
village writes that he has heard no one
Mass, Republican.
Most Vermont Republicans win draw
their faces around into a smile, cock up
one eye and look wise, when they read
this little paragraph from the Massachu-
sets contemporary which generally has
ali unhappy faculty for getting Vermont
affairs woefuly confused. But overdrawn
as this paragraph really is. there is yet a
large measure Of truth in IL. There is no
enthusiasm here ia Vermont over the
coming election. either national or state;

enough to make one base ball rooter
ashamed Of himself TO be sure rallies
have been held ID various cities and
towns, Republican clubs have been organ

having their names placed on the roll Of
officers, flags have been run up per pro-
granme, and, lastly, speakers Of national
repute have come here and endeavored to
stir up at least show Of interest. The
result has been far from encouraging in

1t is expected that within few days a
building trades alliance consisting of the
carpenters, painters, masons and plumbers
unions will be organized in Rutland and
when formed the -four mentioned trades
will be better organized than at any other
time The advantage Of this new organ
ization will be that all business affecting
any Of the different branches or trades
will be transacted in mass convention in
stead of by delegates from the different
unions. Other reforms Will probably be
inaugurated and the alliance win be a
much more potent factor In labor circles
than the old trades and labor council.

all right at heart it would be well to
reserve judgment and give him a
chance, and he added that he
thought the lad would pull up

"True," reioined Mr.. Quay's
friend, 'but what would you call the

Philadelphia physician, was, even in
his college days, a hard worker and
a serious minded youth, says an ex-

While he was reading medicine at
the Jefferson college young Da Cos

He did not enjoy this ball very
much. He would rather have been
at home at work. He wandered
here and there among the gay
crowd, looking lonely and bored.
Perceiving his plight, his hostess
took him in hand. She compliment
ed him on his success as a student,

TO mingle now and then in the gay
cites that are natural to youth.

were forming in the ballroom,
