RHAPSODY OF A YOUNG LAWYER.

Letter to Prof. A. 3. WiImarth.
Remington. Vt.


Dear Sir: We should like to set
your boys and girls at work on this
question in arithmetic and casuistry.
farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care and are fed
In these three ways: first hog. on a
certain proportion of milk and cooked
cornmeal; second hog. on the same
half water; third hog. on the same,
half water and sawdust. How long
will 1t take, how much will they weigh
how much will they cost, and what'll
the profit be on the three?
And similar question in pigmentry
That same farmer is going to paint
three barns same size; and he says
to three painters; "what'll you take
to paint that barn."
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says: I'll do it for
$50"
Second painter: 1915"
Third painter: "$974S."
Will they each get a barn to paint,
or one get two. or one all three, or
nobody any: and what'll they make on
the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes.
But there is a way to reckon; s. a
gallon. The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons to buy. There's a
way out of that.
Buy the least-gallons paint, Devoe.
No matter how much one buys; he re-
turns what's left; costs nothing.
Yours truly.

Both parties have now named their
candidates for town Offices, and 1t is
up to the voters to make their choice
and register that choice at the polls.
The Banner has always urged that
in town affairs, politics. ought not to
figure. 1t is question prominently
of common sense. A man Is no bet
ter town official because he is Repub-
lican or because he is Democrat any
more than because he is Baptist or
Presbyterian, and the voters should
bear in mind that when some of the
workers" approach them in a cam.
paign and appeal to them to vote &C.
cording to the political party to which
they belong, 1t is because they have no
really good argument to put forth in
behalf Of their candidate.
OF the candidates personally on the
two local tickets, the Banner and no
fair minded citizen have anything in
criticism to say. They are made up Of
good citizens. and especially those
named for the more important places
are men whom the public respect and
admire. but when 1t comes to voting
them into Office the question of public
service is one solely to be considered
and not personal liking. or even ma
tive ability.
1t can but be apparent to everybody
that the present board of selectmen,
composed of two Republicans and one
Democrat has been the best board the
town has had within the memory OF
the present generation, and 1t will be
a deliberate act of injury to them,
selves If the voters fail to reflect this
board. The Banner urges the voters
not to allow themselves to be led away
by any claptrap demagogy. or gentle
persuasion into voting against their
own interests and the interests of the
town.
II an employer of labor has several
good and competent men working for
him, does he turn them out and take
on somebody else just because group
of politicians and agitators who are
working for their own interests. and
have some axe to grind tell him to?
This is precisely the situation In
Bennington this year. Through the
prudence. economy and good judg
ment of the present board of select
men, the town debt has been reduced
over thirty thousand dollars, the town
affairs are in better shape than ever
before. there is a balance OF over sew
EN- thousand dollars In the treasury
and the town can create sinking
fund without increasing taxation ready
to retire the old railroad bonds when
they begin to come due in 1912. Is
there any reason why the leaders Of
couple local factions should get to
gether and try to displace those mer
whose services have been tried and
found true?
If the voters turn oft at the town
meeting there can be no question al
to the result, but the public should
bear in mind that little experience las
summer when a small bunch of voters
bent on paying of grudge. deliber
ately went up to Library hall ant
threw away fifteen hundred dollars o.
the towns money.
If the voters who are interested II
the welfare Of the town insist on stay
ing at home upon town meeting day
the same thing can happen again.

BOLD ROBBERY IN FRISCO
JeweIry Stores Losses viii Amount
to $4,000.

San Francisco, April 13.-Some
time during the night and in the best
patrolled district of the city thieves
entered the jewelry store of T. Lundy
at 744 Market street and robbed it of
diamonds and other jewelry amount
ing to $4,000.
Entrance was made by cutting a
hole through the partition that sepa-
rates the store from a candy shop.
This was done without disturbing the
lights burning in both stores. The
hole was made large enough to allow
the thieves to crawl through. Once
inside, they set to work on the main
undertaking.
Two three-eighths inch holes were
bored in the safe near the combina-
ton so that one of the handles could
be forced back. The second lever was
next forced and the doors opened with
nitro-glycerine. The vault was then
cleaned.
The robbery was discovered at $3.50
o'clock a. m. by Policeman Mcdonald
and Waterman in the neighborhood.
Two months ago an attempt was made
to enter this store by cutting through
from the same store beside it.
The crime was one of the boldest
in the history of police annals, for the
cracksmen, working under the eyes
of a special Waterman employed by
the merchants, accomplished the rob
berry without detection.
Save for a short handled sledge
hammer. a pair of blacksmith's tongs
which could have been of absolutely
no value to the thieves, and an oil
cloth cover, such as is usually worn
over a dress hat in stormy weather
the men left no clew as to their iden
tity. Every compartment in the safe
was gone over by the robbers, bu
they took nothing but jewels Of value
set and unset. No watches were stolen
the operators carefully avoiding any
article that might carry a mark o
Identification.
