NOBCEMEN.
Those Who Are Ambitious to he Use.
full Rather Than Rich.

A young man of ability and great
promise recently refused to enter a
vocation which would yield him a large
income, lest the temptation to become
rich might eat up his desire to help his
fellow men. He feared that the frantic
struggle for wealth and self being
waged by the majority Of men with
whom his position would force him to
associate would insensibly draw him
felt that his ideals would become tar
nished, that his aspirations would be
starved IN such an atmosphere, and so
he chose a vocation which would en-
able him to render the greatest service
to humanity.
1t is a refreshing thing in a material
age to see people who are ambitious
to be useful rather than rich, who are
more eager to help others than to make
money. These are natures noblemen;
these are the characters which enrich
life and which have pushed civiliZa.
ton up from the savage to the Florence
Nightingales and the Lincolns.
One Of the most promising things
about our civilization today is that
side by side with the greed for gold, is
the ever growing passion of humanity
for good. The number Of people who
prefer to be useful to their fellow mer
rather than to make money Is con
stantly increasing. This passion fol
good is the salt Of humanity; it is what
makes us believe in the future Of the
race.-Success.

lowing there may be discovered "a
much truth as humor:
THE artistic temperament Is Il Il; =
ease that atliictS amateurs. 1t Is IL Dis
ease which arises from r'Nn not hl"..' :
sufficient power of expression TO utter
and get rid of the element of art in
their being. 1t is healthful to every gan
man to utter the art within him; il is
essential to every sane man to get rid
Of the art within him at all costs.
Artists of a large and wholesome vital
ity get rid of their art easily, but in
artists Of less force the thing becomes
a pressure and produces a definite pain,
which is called the artistic tempera-
ment. Thus very great artists are able
to be ordinary men-men like Shake
speare or Browning. There are many
real tragedies of the artistic tempera-
ment, tragedies Of vanity or violence or
fear, but the great tragedy of the ar
tistic temperament is that it cannot
produce any art.

THE BRIDES OF VENICE,
An Ancient Custom That Once Had .
Rude Interruption.

An Ancient Custom That Once Had .
Rude Interruption.
In the year 9O2, according to old GUS
tom, all the brides for the year at
Venice assembled on st. Mary's eve ut
the cathedral, taking with them their
dowries in small chests. There they
awaited their b~ridegrooms, who fol-
lowed them, and after mass they were
married and received the bishops
blessing.
In this year the sea rovers Of Triest
burst in upon the expectant maidens,
who were all dressed in white, with
hair loosely flowing and interviewer
with threads of gold, carried them of
to their barks and hoisted sail.
The doge Of Venice summoned his
men to arms, pursued the rOvers, over
took them in a creek still known as
the Port of the Damsels and brought
the brides back in triumph.
In memory Of this event a solemn
procession Of twelve young women
took place yearly, and the Marian
games were observed with great splen-
dor until the year 1879, when they
were discontinued in a time Of dis
astrous war.-London Standard.

Laurence Hutton, the author, once
stopped at the Touraine hotel in Bos-
ton on his way from Bar Harbor to
New York, and, being short Of funds
after his summer outing, the hotel
clerk required Identification before as

Mr.. Hutton looked around the lobby
and noticed Joe Jefferson, to whom he
confded his predicament. MI. Jeffer-
son went to the desk and, slapping Mr..
Hutton on the back, remarked to the
clerk, ~ don't know who Laurence
claims to be, but he's the boy" He
was given the pick Of the house.

VILLAGE MEETING.
A Large Vste Cast.

The annual village meeting was held
in the Town Hall Wednesday and was
one of the largest ever held in the history
Of the municipality. L. P. Slack, the
president of the village, called the meet
ing to order and the call was read by the
clerk, Clinton B. Weeks. The voting for
village officers proceeded until the box
was turned at 2 o'clock when 348 votes
had been cast.
The regular business of the meeting
was taken up at O'Clock when over 200
voters were present. In the absence Of
President Slack, Arthur F. Stone was
chosen president pro TEN, and the busi-
ness of the meeting was disposed of in
the next hour.
A motion to dispense with the Austria
lian ballot at the next village meeting
was lost, and on motion of Rev. DR.. 3D.
ward T. Fairbanks, it was voted to use
it.
The question Of adopting the specific
recommendations of the board oftrustees
also aroused some discussion. Inasmuch
as the annual expenses of the village re.
peatedly exceeded the appropriations,
motion was made to dismiss the article.
This motion was lost and the article was
adopted with the proviso, suggested by
Robert W. Simonds, that the village
treasurer be authorized to accept no
orders for payment after the amount
allowed for each appropriation had been
spent.
The article relating to raising money
for current expenses was disposed of by
the passage OF resolution, introduced
by Harry H. Carr, providing that this
article be taken up at an adjourned
meeting July 1, 1905. at 2 O'Clock.
Under article it was moved by P. F.
Hazen that the trustees be authorized to
pay sum not exceeding $3.50 Tor out
door band concerts next summer.
The proposal to give discount for
early paid taxes met with favor, and it
was voted to allow a discount of 4 per
cent on all village taxes paid before Octo.
Der, 1905.
Before the result of the vote for village
officers had been announced, H. N.
Turner presented a letter from the
Woman's Club suggesting the desira-
bility of a curiew law for the village.
Mr.. Turner and Supt. Dempsey spoke in
favor OF such action, and on the latter s
motion it was voted to be the sense OF
the meeting TO have the trustees call a
special meeting to consider the curfew
law.
John Mcdonald moved that the trus-
tees be paid $3.50 each annually for their
services. This motion failed to be
seconded and he then moved that the
trustees be paid So a day for actual SER
vices. He supported his motion with
one of his characteristic speeches, and it
was carried.
Before adjournment the chair announ-
ced the election of the following officers
for the ensuing year.
President, Arthur F. Stone.
Clerk, Clinton B. Weeks.
Treasurer, H. W. Blodgett.
Collector, George R. Crosby.

A Splendid Statement.

We are not surprised that the officers
of the National Life Insurance Co., OF
Montpelier are pleased with their annual
statement, summary of which appears
in our advertising columns. The sum-
mary shows an increase all along the
line and was secured by the faithful work
of host of loyal agents coupled with
conservative management of the funds
after they reached the home Office. The
National Life is an institution in which
any Vermonter may take just pride.
