Oak and Mistlstoo.

A reviewer in the Outlook rebukes
an American writer for wondering
whether there is any natural con-
nection" between the oak and the
mistletoe, seeing how constantly
they are associated. ON Great
Britain" says the reviewer, 'thO
oak is one of the trees on which the
mistletoe VIGOROUSLY does not
grow" And it is true that the Eng
lish child learns in an early lesson
of the honor in which the Druids
held mistletoe that by rare chance
did grow on an oak. But the re-
viewed book, being American, is
amply justified. The hills that sur
round the Lick observatory In Cali
fornia and that bear its domes on
their highest summit are entirely
covered with oaks, and it ia not too
much to say that every oak carries
q bunch or punches of mistletoe.-

that she herSelf-although in con-

sTATE OF VERMONT Whereas I'm

STATE OF VERMONT, Whereas, Emma
Windsor County. ss. Macy of Wind
sor, VT, has duly fled her petition to the
County Court, setting forth her legal mar
riage to Edward Macy of Hartford, in the
State of Vermont, that she hath resided tor
eight years in the county of Windsor. in the
State of Vermont, that she hath kept the
marriage covenant, but that the said Ed
ward hath violated the same, for that he
hath treated the petitioner with intolerable
severity, and for that he hath wilfully de-
serted the petitioner; wherefore the petit
toner prays for a bill of divorce from the
said Edward Macy, and that she may have
the care and custody of her minor child,
and that she have leave to resume her maid
en- name.
And whereas it appears that said Edward
is without this state, so that the summons
of said Court may not be served upon him,
It is Thereupon Ordered that the said Ed
ward Macy be notified and required to APP
pear in and before said Court and make
answer, if any he have. and abide tho order

Tuesday of December, A. d. 1906, upon the
first day of said term, by publishing the
substance of said petition, together with
this order, for three successive weeks, in

lisbed at Woodstock, in said County, the
last publication to be at least six weeks
prior to said term of Court. which shall be
deemed sufficient notice to said Edward

Curb the ChaufTeurs.

The speed mania is responsible
for much of the prejudice against
automobiles that finds expression
here and there throughout Vermont.
A certain chauffeur with areputation
for recklessness is said to have boast
ed that he made run to Woodstock
from White River Junction, fourteen
miles, in twenty-one minutes. 1t is
possible that he made this record,
but his claim should be officially in
vestigated and if he wishes to pro-
duce proof that he exceeded the speed
limit by thirty miles he could make
out pretty strong case against him
self.
If the state of Vermont would en-
force the speed regulations there
would be little need of further legis-
lation against automobiles and the
various drastic measures aimed at
the extinction of motor vehicles now
threatening the general assembly
would have scant consideration. As
it is, reckless driving seems to have
the especial sanction of the law and
state, county and town officials, with
never an arrest or fine for any offend
ers. Hence the hostility against the
high power machines, and it will
continue as long as their drivers are
immune from punishment.

Payment of Toll for Crossing Con-
necticut River a Burden.
The commissioners appointed to
represent Vermont in considering
the matter of freeing the. toll bridges
over the Connecticut river between
this state and New Hampshire, Gil
bert A. Davis OF Windsor, George
O. Ford OF Kirby, and James B.
Seaver OF Washington, say in their
report just issued:
''From our limited observation and
rT0m the EeSt information we have
been able to gather, we are convinced
that these border towns have been
unjustly burdened, public business
handicapped, and the passage of cit
liens from one state to another has
been prevented by the exaction of
tolls, and the bridge corporations
have held valuable franchises. We
believe that turnpikes and toll bridges
must all go, and be relegated to his
tory.
The commissioners recommend
that the state the state shall reimburse
the towns to the extent of one-halt
their respective expenditures in max
ing such bridges free. This should
not include the expenses of maintain
ing such bridges since the same have
been made tree.
