Better than ever is the Peoples Maya
zine for January-a special holiday num-
ber This publication, which consists of
1872 pages of a high class Of copyrighted
fiction, is making great strides with each
number Never before has a ten-cent, all
fiction periodical given to the public
stories by authors of such world wide
fame as those who figure largely in its
January table of contents. The Peoples
is one of the few remaining ten-cent,
all fiction magazines, and of that class
it is the best 1t comprises each month
a complete novel of unusual size, and 20
or more stories of exceedingly high class
fiction. The trashy story which finds its
way into so many of the so-called "all
ficuion" publications has no place in the
the pages of The Peoples. With the
work of such authors as e. F. Benson,
Eden Phillpotts, Albert Kinross, George
r. Sims, Ralph Graham Tabor Elmore Ell
lott Peake, and Chas. Carey forming
large part of its bulk, there can be no
doubt as to the quality of the fiction COM
posing the magazine.

Girls In Germany.

The German girl leaves school at about
10 years Of age, by which time she has
learned to sew. mend, and supposedly to
speak English and French She has not
learned higher mathematics. but she has
learned the small things that fit a girl
for a housewife or companion. and that,
in Germany, is a womans only sphere.
However much We American girls may
enjoy our college we dare not pity the
German girls, for they have something
which takes their place and OF which we
have no conception until we reside in

Congressman Gaines of Tennessee has
already introduced a bill at the present
session of Congress, providing for an in
crease in the pay Of members of Con-
gress from $4,000 year to $500. His bill
also provides an allowance for actual ex-
penses in travelling, instead Of the Ave
cents-a- mile rate now in force. Members

To Punish OFFICIALS for Neglect of Duty.
Rutland News

The bill introduced by Representative
Bailey of Essex, from the judiciary COM
mittee, to punish state officers for ne
gect of duty with maximum penalty of
Imprisonment for one year or a fine of
$1,000 seems to be none too drastic
This bill if it becomes a law, will pro-
vide a like penalty for any state, county,
town, village, fire district or school dis
trict officer, who likewise wilfully neglects
to perform the duties imposed upon him
by law. 1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that men here and there in the
state, in common with other states, accept
public position without any conception
of the responsibility it places upon them
or without any intent to rigidly live up
to the law. The measure seems to cover
just such cases.
