She was eight years old and had
been reading fairy tales until she
could think of nothing else. One
day recently she astonished her
mother by quietly saying, Mamma,

"What in the world do you want
to go to England for?'

kitchen girl in the kings kitchen"
''GraciousW exclaimed the moth

"Well, perhaps if I became a
kitchen girl some prince will see
me and marry me and make me a
princess, and then when the king
dies I'll be a queen"

The Two Senators Are At
ter Taft.

Cleveland, Dec. 22.-Senators
Foraker and Dick have joined
forces to knock out the Taft boom
in Ohio for the presidential nomi-
nation. At conferences held here
today with Senator Foraker the
Dick men planned with him how
best to prevent the Republican
State convention from indorsing
the war secretary as Ohio's choice.
Although Mr., Foraker would
not discuss the political situation,
it was learned that a plan of cam
palgn has been mapped out, which,
if successful, may lead to Ohio's
"big four" to the national con-
vention being relegated to support
Foraker's candidacy.
The forces of the senators will
center their attention at present
on the various county delegations
to the State convention, which
probably will meet in February.
In each county an effort will be
made to have the delegates attend
the convention unpledged.
The fight has been started here,
in Cuyahoga county, where the
Taft men have figured on sending
a delegation unanimously in favor
of the war secretary's candidacy.
By obtaining unpledged delega-
tions to the State convention the
Foraker men feel that they can so
split up the various county dele
gates that majority of them can
be swung into line in favor of For
aker. The senator's friends pro-
fess the belief that if this can be
done few choice selection from
"Fire Alarm Joe's" repertoire of
oratory will hoist all the recalcit-
rant delegates into the Foraker
band wagon.

''Jennie Gold Mine'' and were
made to feel at home by G.. A.
Short and A. S. Martin. To meet
and know these men is to love
them, and to say they have n good
property here would hardly express
it. The mine is most thoroughly
equipped, having II i0.horse power

drills for drift and slope work,
with cage and cars and ventilating
fans. A blacksmith shop and a
complete assay office are part
of the equipment The shaft is
175 feet deep vertically and when
the ledge is cut on this level there
are $50 feet of stopping ground to
the surface. Here the ledge is
from four to ten feet wide and car
ries the richest ore found in the
mine, the state assayer making a
report of samples found here OF
$4,000 per ton, and on the ll5
foot level the lodges vary from five
to 10 feet, and from samples found
there myself, looks good to me. A
four stamp Nissen mill is now in
operation day and night, with
eight more being installed, making
twelve in all, with an output of one
hundred tons daily, will surely
bring big dividends to the stock
holders.
This stock has been selling at
par for some time with no more

Boston capitalists are preparing
to install plant (adjacent to the
Jennie property of 40 acres with
8 distinct ledges) on their claims
of 110 acres at cost of quarter
million dollars, basing their faith
on the Jennie property and some
assay work on their claims, it be-
ing in line with the Jennie prop
erty.

A noted woman suffrage leader
was talking in Philadelphia about
divorce. "Ill temper is at the root
of divorce" she said. ''Men and
women are not so vicious as some
people think. Impatience causes
more divorces than immortality.

called one day on a certain married
woman. At dinner time my hostess

Feminine Attire.

The toilet of woman never, even In

the understanding of man. He may ad'

A Canoe Eulosy.

There Is superstition that canoes
are untrustworthy. But superstition
is merely the distortion of faith by Is
norance. The canoe is only the most
girllshly feminine of all ships that
float on the waters. She demands the
constant assurance of understanding.
Humor her preference in the little
matters and you may depend upon
her In all things of import. Step ex-
aetly over the keel not an inch TO right
or left; distribute the weight eannily,
SO that she may neither bury her bows
nor stand upon her stern; forbear 10
bump her too brutally upon rocks or

Judge Ide and the Taft Boom.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald is responsible for the
report that Hon. Henry c. Idle is going
to deliver Vermont's votes in the ma
tional convention to Secretary Taft and
the publication of this story has aroused
considerable criticism by the Vermont
press. AS the Burlington Free Press
well says, Vermont is one of the few
states in which the people insist on do
ing their own swinging" 1t is not at
all characteristic of Judge Ide to deliver
delegations to any candidate. We be-
lieve Secretary Taft stands well with the
Vermont republicans, but so does Gov.
Hughes, and above them all, towering
like giant among the Lilliputians, is
President Roosevelt.

What One Town Does.

Under this caption the St. Adams Mes
senger discourses upon the recent letter
of Hon. Elisha May in these columns
which gave list of some of the promi-
nent people that have visited St. Johns
bury in the last 40 years. Editor Greene
says in the opening sentence of his edito-
rial
The reading public of Vermont is
pretty familiar with the idea that, gen.
orally speaking, St. Johnsbury has year
in and year out offered the highest aver
age of high class literary entertainments
to its people of any community in the
state.
And then after giving the list of nota-
bles that have spoken to our townspeo-
pie he draws the following lesson:
There is hint in this for somebody
somewhere in Vermont-pretty much
everywhere in Vermont outside of St.
Johnsbury. The social culture of st.
Johnsbury is unusual for small town in
a rural state, but it shows what can be
done under adverse circumstances by the
right kind of people employing the right
kind OF tactics. AS a general thing, it
may frankly and fairly be said that the
average of social culture in our other Yer
not mean that We s are SfEU t56ii geh Dor
er-settlement or mining camp crudity of
social life among us, but it does mean
that such rehnements asdo prevail are as
much matter of habit as from any
highly sensitized notions of intense civic
responsibility or unsatisfed desire for
higher and nobler standards OF COM
munal living, There are signs of awak-
ening interest here and there, to be sure.
Once in while one sees the manifesto
lions of progress that some devoted
faithful few are forcing against stubborn
apathy and popular indifference in some
community in this state so blessed by
Nature that it ought to thank God every
day fits existence just for it's opportun-
tiles But it is uphill work and it stands
in need OF recruits everywhere.
Nothing inures more to the upbuilding
OF the selt-respect of community than
the development of local social atmos-
phere of refinement and culture like that
prevailing at St. Johnsbury. And when
a community develops that kind of self
respect, all such good things as modern
streets and sewers and neat and we'll
kept public highways and up-to-date
public utilities and institutions all come
into line as mere matter of course. Be-
cause selt-respecting community will
not put up with anything short of all

EdmundS on a Third Term.

Hon. George F. Edmunds has been
interviewed by the Washington cores
pondent of the Brooklyn Eagle and be-
lieves that all the clamor of the politi-
tians will not force President Roosevelt
to take another terms The Vermont
man believes that the President realizes
the menace to the country involved in the
third term principle, and that it will be
impossible to compel him to run again.
"Do you think President Roosevelt is
in danger of having to succumb to the
third term clamor? p
II do not think he is" was the reply,
among the people with whom he is in
sympathy with respect to the best ways
OF governing the country. ! do not
think Mr.. Roosevelt can be persuaded
through any amount of what may be
called popular emotion to allow himself
to be candidate for and to take a third
election, for that is what it is, although
they may say he has only been elected as
President once. President Roosevelt is a
man of wide and patriotic views. How
ever much he might be demanded to
carry on the government for another
four years he would see what an
enormously bad precedent it would be.
By and by the man who might 90 up for
third term might take majority of
the voters of the country with him and
it would then require revolution to get
rid OF him, or else, like some of our
Southern republics, we would have to
take him as President for life, just as

Our Open Season for Deer.

In carefully prepared article in the
Boston Transcript on the deer laws of
New England the writer has this to say
about conditions in our own state:
Vermont knows a thing or two
about open deer seasons. About 1000
hunters went into the state two years
ago for the weeks sport. One train
north from Greenfield carried 81 gloating
Ninrods. Many of the visitors carried a
gallon apiece of hard stuff" The aid
not contribute materially coward the
simple life among the c-een Mountains.
Many parties were ordered Oft private
laaa ss 5t6eyed The number ure s, of deeS
taken was 1874. The illegal killing of
81 does, largely by non-res;dents, Was
one reason for the imposition OF license
fee on out of the state hunters AS a
result OF that tax, only about a dozen
deer were carried out of the state last
fall.

Diaz is in Mexico the supreme ruler. Dia2
is the absolute master of the situation in
Mexico and has been for years and years.
Now, my belief is that President Roose.
welt cannot be forced into setting a
precedent of going beyond two terms.
When General Grant as deservedly pop
ular and as beloved as he was, was put
forward by his misguided political
friends for third term he had so many
real friends that they would not let him
consent to be renominated for the very
reason that | have here suggested. If
Grant had been nominated | have not
the slightest doubt he would have been
badly defeated because the sensible and
thinking patriotic people of this country
do not wish under any circumstances
that can be reasonably expected to
happen to have a continuous run of
more than two presidential terms.
Therefore am sure that President
Roosevelt cannot be bullied into it,"
do you think any Republican candi-
date can be nominated as the legatee of
the Roosevelt policies p
"The general ideas that President
Roosevelt has advocated cannot be
legacy, becaused, speaking broadly, there
have been no inventions of principle by
him. The application of them has been
carried in some instances too far and the
has from time to time
felt compelled to modify its position, not
because the general principles were mis-
taken, but because they were applying
general principles in an incorrect and
probably in some cases an unconstitu-
tional way. So believe that the great
masses of the sensible people of this
country, the commercial men, the labor
ng men and all the others who have
become sufficiently educated in the
-heory of real liberty and real personal
lights will find themselves next year
a conservative liberty which
AN stand any wind from any direction.
They will be for the principle that the
eal purpose of peoples rights is that
very man shall have the right to be his
'wn master so long as he does not
interfere with similar rights of anybody

Ministerial salaries.

fact that of 124 minister's in the Yer

ceive less than $500 bel year; and it
adds: Statistics are noJat hand but it
is more than likely that tlsse starvation
wages are not confined tolhe Methodist

There is no doubt thatpur Vermont
clergytnen are underpaid, asolutely; but
we doubt II relatively therds much dis
parity between the incomeAof shepherd
and flock. Of the 1914 pstors in the
Vermont conference, for ehmple, only
few, very few, are stationA III STRONG

majority of the 124 are locded in mere

munities what is the averad income of
the occupants of the pews? matter
OF fact, it wouldprobably d found to
parallel that of the minister. Ind is this
not substantially equitable l around
everything considered?
