A Progressive Savings
Institution

The Montpelier Argus in comment
ing on the fact that the assets of the
Hype Park Savings Bank have reached
the million dollar mark has the following
to say:
The assets Of the Lamoille County Saw
ings Bank and Trust Company the pro-
gressive institution fostered by ex-Gov.
Carroll S. Page, and a remarkable mon
ument to his ability and sagacity, have
passed the million-dollar mark This is
an especially noteworthy occurrence, when
the limitations OF population, etc, Of the
territory from which the bank draws its
patronage Is taken into considera ton, and
would only be possible with the most ju-
dicious management 1t is noteworthy
also that every cent OF the million dol
lars is invested in Vermont, ito foster
Vermont industries and develop Vermonr
enterprises" The institution and its as
tute president are certainly entitled to
congratulations on its success and pros
perity
This Bank pays 4 per cent compound

more.

Areand Lamps.

What did Argand do for the lamp?
Examine an ordinarylamp in which coal oil
Is burned. The chimney protects the
flame from sudden gusts OF wind and also
creates draft OF air, Just as the fire
chimney creates a draft. Argands lamp
was the first TO have a chimney. Look
below the chimney and you will see open
passages through which air may pass up
ward and find its way TO the wick Notice
further that as this draft Of air passes
upward IL Is so directed that when the
hmE Is burning an extra quantity Of air
plays directly upon the wick. Before Ar
gand, the wick received no supply OF air
Now notice-and this is very Important
that the wick of our modern lamp is fiat
or circular, but thin. The air in abund-
ance plays upon both sides OF the thin
wick, and burns II without making smoke
Smoke is simply half-burned particles
(sooD of burning substance. The par
ticles pass off half burned because enough
air has not been supplied. Now Argand
by making the wick thin and by causing
plenty OF air to push into the flame
caused all the wick to be burned and
thereby caused IT to burn with a white
flame.
After the invention Of Argand, the art
OF lamp-making improved by leaps and
by bounds. More progress was made in
20 years after 1888 than had been made
I 20 centuries before New burners were
invented, new and better oils were used,
and better wicks made. But all the new
kinds OF lamps were patterned after the
ATgand. The lamp you use at home may
not be a real Argand, but 1t is doubtless
made according TO the principles Of the
lamp invented by the Swiss physician in
17SS.-[St Nicholas.

Harry N. Holland, teamster, Of 21 Canal

ranged condition of my Kidneys. II 1
caught cold or brought too much strain
on the muscles of the back the pains
across my kidneys would be very severe
The trouble became so bad that 1 could
not sleep but turned and twisted the
whole night long. Learning about Doan's
Kidney Pills l went to f. II. Holden's
drug store for them. Three boxes of this
remedy ended all the trouble in my back,
and since then, no matter how hard
work, have only once or twice noticed
slight pain in my back, and that soon
passed away"

Against it's savage breast,
Warmed by the last dull, ragged red
Wind blown along the west.

About its gaunt old head,
Reared where the winds of heaven go
Their way unsupported.
One night felt its heart beat

That trembled far below?
Was 1t the wolf that wandered
Unanswered. desolate,
Out Of despair Of loneliness
Gliding a silent mate?

Montgomery in
Youthful Bloom

BY John Shadwick Davis.
They roll in town on smooth steel rail,
The grand old city on boom,
In wide expanse of hill and dale,
MONTGOMERY in youthful plume.
The city is spreading Est and West,
And through the fine old river bend
There1l be a crowd in that progress
About nineteen hundred and ten.
Architects. busy late and soon,
The trowel sings its seel-Nke song,
Bells and whistles are all in tune.
The hammer rings the whole day
long.
They drink from pure artesian stream
That may be found on every hill.
In bright sunshine like an angels
The nectar flow of natures still.
The buildings there are climbing high,
The rural cabin failing fast.
The great steel frames are UP III the
The wild geese winking as they
ozone's too pure for stegomya and
Up where wild geese soar in the
cloud
On steel elevators man won't sigh.
Where space for scrapers are al
lo#o
Architects bind with great steel bolts
And masonry, heavy and strong,
Which robs the cyclone of his hold
Where, man may live healthy and
long.
The bright sunshine. the hill and dale
or that fair land and wealth is
known,
Where health and plenty seldom fail

DID THE RIGHT THING.

we nave noticed that a few and a
very few, of our contemporaries have
criticised Whitelaw Reid for what they
call i'll manners in his repIv or ranar-
zee TO Alfred Austin. AS most of our
readers probably know, Mr.. Reid. our
ambassador to England, gave a dinner
In London some evenings ago at which
aired Austin, poet-laureate of Eng
land, was present In the course o..
MS response to toast. Austin remark
ed: How unfortunate that America
which has produced so many million
aires, has not brought forth a poet
In recent years." To this Mr.. Reid
lea consoles herself with the thought
that even England has poetless per-
iods. Such a period has supervened
since Tennyson died"
This was the gist of the remarks. as
reported. We are told that the guests
gasped at Austin's words, and that
they gasped some more at Reds reply.
The truth is that they should have
cheered the latter, heartily. That Mr..
Reid was not entirely exact in his
statement is true. Tennyson has been
dead fifteen years, and since then
Swinburne and Kipling. to mkntion no
others, have written much poetry, so
that 1t was not exactly fair to speak
of England as poetless since Tenny-
sons death, but the repartee of Reid
was none the less deserved.
Some of our contemporaries have
censured Mr.. Reid for what they call
his i'll manners, but If he deserves GEN.
sure what did Austin deserve? The
entertainment was given by Mr. Reid
and Austin was one of the invited
guests. His accusation was not only
unjust and untrue. but was a direct
insult to his host 1t makes little diff
ference whether he had been drinking
too much or whether his remarks pro-
coded from his overestimate of his
own Importance or whatever may have
actuated him, his caddishness was
prominently apparent, and Reid gave
him what he deserved.
The bad manners of Austin Is rem
dered more prominent when we re-
member that he himself. is not a poet
to hurt. He was chosen poet laureate
for political purposes. because at the
! time of Tennyson's DEATH both Swim
burne and Kipling were Objectionable
for reasons not necessary to mention,
SO Austin was given the place. If Mr..
Reid had said that the position of
laureate had been poetless since Ten
nyson's death he would have hit 1t
almost right. but as It was his rebuke
to the British swellhead was deserved
and the guests should have applauded
| him heartily. -.

A NICE QUESTION.

Our friend of The Fairhope Courier
is a little afraid he has made break
in the use of the Kings English and
thus explains:
Here's one on The Courier. We an
nounced last week the moving into the
Black cottage of Mr.. Orrie Stapleton
and family" Comes now Mr. Staple,
alleges that he has been much embar-
assed by Fairhope ladies coming
around to call upon his wife The
Courier therefore makes correction by
explaining that Mr. Stapleton is who'll
ly unattached to any females saves his
mother and sister. The error was in
excusable but we plead in extenuation
would be that gentleman of the years
and attractions of Mr.. Stapleton, would
have at least one wife.
We have no doubt that this will
bring on more talk on the part of some
OF the wise newspaper men who think
they know about all that can be gath
cred together on any subject and we
and laundering sound" from some of
them and nobody any the wiser for it,
Strictly speaking. a family consists
