GRAFT IN VERMONT.
State Official Charged with Per-
sonal Use of Public funds.

Montpelier, Vt, Dec. Fin "A report
presented to both branches of the Leg
slature yesterday by committee APP
pointed by the last legislature to investi-
gate the accounts of State boards, Rail-
road Commissioner George T. Howard of
Craftsbury is alleged to have received
pay from the State for time and expen-
SEES to which he was not entitled, and re-
commentator is made by the committee
that an action be brought against, How
ard to recover the amount
The report was accepted by both
branches OF the Legislature
COMMISSION Is ABOLISHED.
Immediately following the presenta-
ton of the report of the House bill
abolishing the present railroad commits
sion, was introduced and passed.
Commissioner Howard resigned
during the Thanksgiving recess of the
Legislature and the term of Commits
sioner II. S. Brigham of Bennington ex-
pred Dec. l., and no reappointment was
made. The committee nothing
prejudicial to Commissioner Smith.
An exchange SUMMARIZED the report
of the committee AS follows:
We find that he Commissioner How
ard has charged the State for ffty-siX
days 1886, wherein his only services
were to start from home in the afternoon
and either stay one night at Hard
wick. Burlington, or some station be-
tween.
We further find that during that time
Commissioner Howard has charged the
State $3.50 for the use of his own team to
carry him to and from Hardwick.
We find that on sixty-eight occasions
he took receipts from his hired man, his
children and his brother-inlaw and filed
them under oath as vouchers for money
necessarily paid out, when, in fact,
nothing was paid.
He made at least one trip to Hanover,
N. H., from Burlington, stayed over Sum-
day with his son, charging the State with
two days time and his expenses, amount
ing to $745.
On June 20, 1905, he attended the Re-
publican State committee at Montpelier
and charged the State with one days
time and his expenses of $3.4o.
We further find that on one occasion
he visited Burlington with his family
and charged that expense with his own
to the State.
We therefore recommend that an ac-
ton be brought against the said Howard
to recover the same, together with such
further proceedings as the evidence war
rants.
The full report shows Howard to be
one of the boldest grafters yet shown up
and his prosecution for swindling and
perjury cannot well be deferred.

What We all Know.

The Burlington Free Press, speaking
of the refusal of Judge Weeks to con-
tinue in the office of cattle commissioner,
says: All residents who have knowledge
of the personal qualities and eminent
qualifications of Mr.. John f. Weeks Of
Middlebury, who Governor Proctor APP
pointed cattle commissioner following
the retirement of the old board from
office, will regret to hear that he has
announced his decision not to accept a
reappointment Mr. Weeks is a man
in whom the people would have the ut
most confidence, and the governor will
be fortunate, if he succeeds in finding
man who will fill the position with
equal efficiency.

the death of Ex-Gov. Hendee, says:

never elected governor, but he was ele-
waited from the acknowledgements
to the chief magistracy by the. death of
Gov. Peter L. Washburn in 1870, and
under the constitution. of course, be-
came as completely invested with the
official attributes of the governorship as
though he had been called to the office
by election in the first place.

The Old Stocking.
From the Times Union.

The roses of summer are faded.
Their petals are scattered and gone:
The green of the grass has departed.
And sere lie the meadow and lawn.
The red-breasted robbins are singing
Away i'm far southern cline.
And frosts of the winter are decking
The forests with silvery rime
But what tho the season be dreary.
And bleak be the winds as they roar?
There's cheer in the heart that keeps
kindly
Hang up the old stocking ouce more.
Ambition may mock in the distance.
The dreams of our youth fade away;
The goal of our striving grow hazy,
Like hill-tops at close of the day;
The chair at the hearthstone stands
empty.
The voice of a loved one be stilled;
The twilight just tinged with the dark
ness.
Drops down on the fields but half TILED.
Then. back to the days of our childhood
Throw open fond memory's door
There's cheer in the heart that keeps
kindly
Hang up the old stocking once more!
The rush of the age, like comet,
Lights up, with its dazzle and glare.
The blue of the sky where we're gaz-
ing.
The strength of our souls in the stare.
We strive, as it passes beyond us,
To stand short while in its glow;
That its tint of bright gold may enfod
us,i 80
And make us a part Of the show.
The gray of the morning comes quickly,
With envy and malice galore.
There's cheer in the heart that keeps
kindly
Hang up the old stocking once more!
The Creeds and the Dogmas and
Schisms,
That sit in the worlds market. place
To sell to the poor, >utf'ring sinner
The only, real, simon-pure Grace,
Grow hoarse. with their hawking and
vending:
The sound of their wrangling is still.
The winds of the morning are waiting
\ message Of Peace and Good Will,
The faith OF child is the simplest,
Like balm TO a cankering sore.
There's cheer in the heart that keeps
kindly
Hang up the old stocking once uIore,
Joseph a. Lawson.

Extensive improvements.

In order to better accommodate the
unusually large class of pupils who have
entered this fall, the Troy Business Col
lege has doubled the size of its typewrit-
ing department, installed new furniture
and added new machines to its previous
splendid equipment, giving it now one of
the best appointed typewriting depart
ments in the State.
The large recitation room has also been
fitted with new opera chairs, having
tablet arms for the better accommodation
of pupils during recitation.
These improvements, together with
Others made during the past summer
render the equipment of this school sec
ond to none, and will tend to improve
the already high grade of work for
which it is noted.

MARGERY'S CHRISTMAS
BY DAVID NJ. KINNEAR.

Margery's dear little golden head.
Nestled at Mammals knee.
Bed time at hand, the prayers to be
said,
Tomorrow the Christmas would he.
BERTHE, her brother, DER flowing with
fun
Stood at her side all alive:
Margey's third birthday wa, just begun
And BERTHE was Just turning five.
Mamma, will Santa Taus tum here
tonight 2"
"Yes, little darling for sure
but my little girl must close her eyes
tight
"And pray to dear Jesus, so pure"
'Aw wight. here dose and the dear
little head
Bent over and thus she began.
Dear Desus, doan to hab sumpin to
sed,
"Pese issen, tause Ma says 90 tan.
Dear Desus, Ise been a berry dood dirl
"And Bert's been berry doOd boy.
"Pese sen me a dolly. wild big ong curl.

An oh, such dood dirl I'll be,
n nltt llbd IOuN, VIII DlE OllS SlluS
IAN Bert go a widin wild me.
Then up jumped the dear little golden
head
And little hands battered with JOY;
While down knelt her brother and softly
said:
Dear Jesus please list to your boy;
Send Margery her pony and me book
"A sled and some tools and knife,
"Bless Mamma and Papa and make the
rich look
"On poor folks and brighten their
life"
Then, after the kisses, they climbed into
bed.
And mother soon soothed them to rest
While both parents pondered what BERTHE
had said
And Margery's funny request.
The poor and the pony was more than
they thought,
But the telephone came into play,
And in an hours time everything had
been wrought
In Bertie's and Margery's way.
Next morning, at day break, four feet
battered out
And there by the mantel they found
All things they had asked and with a
glad shout
Said Santa Claus sure had been round
At breakfast catter was heard on the
street,
The pony drove up to the door,
And twenty poor families blessed God
for meat,
These rich had remembered the poor.
So Margery's Christmas brought her
joy,
So BERTHE for Christian deeds prayed;
This dear little, thoughtful, five-year old
boy
This golden haired, bright little maid;
May many dear Berties and Margeries
wake
Each Christmas to joys that are dear,
And the time the more sweet and more
beautiful make
This most precious day of the year.

Diet for Young Children.

"A child should not be nursed beyond
the twelfth month, unless there is some
unusually good reason for so doing, as in
these days of high-pressure living it is
doubtful if it is good for the mother or
child" says Mariana Wheeler, in the
latest of her admirable papers in Har-
pers Bazaar. Few women are able to
prolong successfully the nursing period
beyond the eight month, and usually
they must give it up even month or
two earlier. | would advise every nurs-
ing mother to start the very first month,
or even the first week, giving her baby
one bottle feeding day, in view of the
fact that the weaving period is sure to
come sooner or later. often from some
unforeseen happening instead of in the
ordinary course of events. 1t is well to
accustom the stomach at an early age to
two kinds of food; then if it becomes
necessary to force the weaving suddenly
it is not such a difficult undertaking
Sudden changes from one food to another
are not desirable for an infant, especially
for very young one with his delicat,
and undeveloped organs of digestion.
