Cclluloid Articles,

Nevertheless he adds this long list OF
"don'ts:" Don't place hot curling

don't drop a match on the celluIoid

Tried in the Fire.

The words of wisdom which Mrs
Hail from time to time let fall for
the enlightenment of her children
were always treasured and often re-
peated. You don't want to get the
wrong notion about what makes a
room homelike to a man." she said
to her Oldest daughter, who was soon
to be married.
Somebody once gave me a story
10 read, when your father and I
were just engaged, that told how a
young woman that married an old
bachelor Kept leaving a glove or a
little piece of sewing or a handker-
cnief on his desk, SO that when he
came home at night and saw 1t there
ne had sudden glow at his heart.

forever gone.
Il thought it was lovely idea. and
1 tried it. I'd leave my crochetipy
on your fathers writing-table, or
drop my gloves carelessly on his par
ticular bookshelf, and all such
things. He always brought them to
me, and he never said anything; but
he wasn't a great talker, and felt
sure his heart was glowing just like
the mans in the story.
II thought so for as much as three
months. Then one day he came
bringing home that great brass-bound
box that stands on top of my old bu-
reau-you know the one I mean?
Well, he came bringing that, and he
collected glove from his shelf, and
handkerchief from in among his
pipes. and my crochet pattern from
the writing-table, and he brought
them all to me.
Now here's cox he said, that

your little extras in,'-he said II
pleasantly, but real firm.-'and you

THE PURE IN HEART.

In the vale of the CORVALLIS
Lettuce lies asleep.
And the tides forever moving
All about her creep.
And the five sea-rivers flowing
Day and night, keep coming. going,
But they rouse not little Lettice
From her sleep.
Through the marshes of CORVALLIS,
Through the rusty red,
Slips the sea his shining fingers
All about her led.
And the zigzag birds are strinSinz
Up above the bleak CORVALLIS.
And the sad brown grasses singing
Round her head.
Little Lettuce was my sister,
And we used to play
On the hills and by the beaches,
In the salt sea-spray.
Lettuce loved the squirrels chirring
And the crumpled leaves a-stirring
In the vale of the CORVALLIS
All the day.

The Employers Liability Bill.

We do not understand all the pro.
visions OF this pro posed employer
liability bin now before tho leglsla-
ture but there are some things In II, II
rightly reported, that should be care
fully considered before II becomes n
law.
As we read Il, the proposed law pro-
yIdes that where two or more men are
sorking together for one employer
and one OF them Is Injured through the
carelessness or mistakes OF fellow
workman, the employer becomes liable
and may be compelled 10 pay damages
anywhere from nominal sum up 10
Ave thousand dollars.
The theory advanced 10 support OF
this Is that an employer Is responsible
for the acts OF those he employs and
should therefore be held liable In case
Of accident. But Is this view an eqult-
aole oneY

ploylng an incompetent man In q re-
sponsible pace and thereby exposing
the mans fellow employees 10 unreces-
sary hazard, then the employer Is
plainly Mt fault and may reasonably
be- held responsible. II however the
accident comes from the mistake or
error OF judgment Of a workman known
to be careful and alwayshitherto found
competent and trustworthy, Is II right
or equitable TO put the burden OF
blame wholly on the employer?

own carelessness or Ignorance and
partially through the carelessness OF a
fellow workman, the injured man or
his heirs II he Is killed, may recover

cover that part for which the victim
was not himself entirely at blame.
We do not believe that Vermont Is
ready for such radical legislation or
that 1t Is desirable TO saddle the en-
ployers OF the state with such grave
and far reaching responsibility.
