One Touch of Nature

DOWN the street came a wagon, loaded
- with meat and drawn by a well-rounded,
well-fed little mare. Her steps became slower
and slower, and finally, in the middle of the
car tracks she stopped.
Cit APP" said the driver, git ap, Jenny"
But Jenny only turned appealing eyes
toward the man on the seat.
Behind him came the shouts and oaths of
other drivers.
big dirty man ''Is she all tired out2''
At the sound of his voice the little horse
sighed a sigh of tired appreciation.
Never mind" he went on soothingly, as
he scrambled down off the seat and took her
by the bride. 'We'll go right out to the side
here and rest bit, and he led her away from
the crowd and stood patting her we-curried
sides, while she rubbed her nose against his
face.
The other drivers moved on; then turned
and looked. Some of them smiled; others
replaced the whips which had been taken from
their sockets to hurry their own horses after
the delay.

The Most Expensive Wine

W/lNE at two million dollars bottle lust
w think of it And vet such wine exists.
In an ancient cellar under the Hotel de Vile
in Bremen IS the famous r0S5Uein which nearly
three centuries ago was deposited there.
There were a dozen immense cases, upon
each OF which was put the name of one of the
Apostles. 1t is peculiar that the case bearing
the name of Judas was the most highly esteem

At the rate of two million dollars bottle,
the wine would be worth about two hundred

A Stone Barometer

TN Northern Finland, so a native paper in
forms US, is a large stone which serves
the inhabitants as an infallible barometer.
At the approach of rain, this stone turns
black or blackish gray, while in fine weather
it is of a light color and covered with white
spots Probably it is a fossil mixed with clay,
and containing rock salt, inter, or ammonia
which according to greater or less degree of
dampness in the atmosphere, attracts it or
otherwise. In the latter case the stone appears
white from the salt appearing in spots at the
surface.

THE TEACHER
EXPLAINED
Was Charged With Ridiculing
Catholic Church
AND SHE DENIES CHARGE
Grace Clark Of Montpelier High School
Is Heard and Also the Rev. w. ].
O'Sullivan--A Two Hour
Discussion.

Montpelier, Feb. s4.--AIiss Grace
Clark, teacher in the Montpelier high
school, was before the board of school
commissioners last evening because of
o charge made by the Rev. w. J. 0'Sul-
Ivan, pastor Of ST. Augustine's Roman
Catholic church, that II had come to
his notice she had made references which
were derogatory to the Catholic church
and which would hold Catholics up to
ridicnle. The meeting was public but
there were few present except those di
rcctlv interested.
The direct charges made by Father
0Sullivan were that this teacher had
alluded 20 imdillgences as being sold by
the Catholic church as a release from
crimes committed; that extreme JUNCTION,
sacred rite Of the Catholic church, was
laughingly referred 10 as "send OFF, I;
that in teaching history this teacher
had said Catholic soldiers we're afraid
to die In battle lest their bodies should
be buried In lInconsecrated ground, and
1T they were SO buried they would not
90 10 heaven; that she had called the
Spanish inquisition an institution of the
Catholic church; that the richer man
is the more sins he can net pardoned,
because priests can be bought today as
well as they could in other days, all of
which Father Sullivan branded as false.
He said Catholic bows in Miss Clark's
room had demonstrated against such
teaching, but she had insisted her state
ments were true.
Then Miss Clark was called upon.
Miss Clark answered these charges one
by one, defending what she had taught
by the text book, Vests History" that
had been placed in her hands. She de-
clared that in teaching history She had
averted anything personal and had treat
Ell the church and state as indiyidu-
ais.
Three Of the boys who had felt hurt
BY the statements Of Miss Clark in
class were called and questioned. and
they corroborated the statements Of
Father O'Sullivan. The mdtter was dis
cussed IN j friendly way for two hours
Father 0'sullivan suggested that in
teaching medieval history both sides
should be taught, and he declared that
the text book 10 which reference has
ben made Is unfair and misleading.
The hoard gave Father o'Sullivan as
snTanee that any attempt to discriminate
against Catholics in the public schools
would not be tolerated and he on his
part expressed his Willingness to so in
form his congregation. He had made
the statement Of the charges to his con
gregation last Sunday.

MASS MEETING OF WORKERS.
Has Been Called for This Evening at
Rutland.

Rutland, Feb. 24-A mass meeting Of
all the stone cutters, marble workers
and granite cutters in this part of the
state has been called for this evening
in Woodmens hall. Thousands Of men
are employed in these three lines Of in
dustry, which constitute the back bone
OF the states prosperity and strong
under current Of strike or strike mani.
festo is in the air.
The movement for higher wages and
complete consolidation has been going on
secretly for some time. One Of the state
organizers has been here for weeks and
has been frequently engaged in whipping
the men into line.
The workmen will ask for a shorter
worlSday, and increased wages per hour.
It IS said that the Vermont Marble com.
pany, dominated by the Proctor inter-
ests, Is the object Of the efforts OF or.
ganized labor and it is said thas the
leaders figure that Fletcher D. Proctor,
who is running for governor, might more
readily be induced TO accede to the re-
guests at this time, with tho date Of
election drawing nearer, than to oppose
the men in their desire for an increased
wage scale.
