There Is an eternal masculine as

the young masculine animal OF the

Of character to be considered too good
develops early. This was shown the
other day by very little man named
Vincent, who is SO small that his
knowledge Of the use of words is as
yet very rudimentary. The little girl,
who 10 older, had returned from Sun
day school, and grandmamma had
asked her, on general principles, what
the lesson was about.
"Oh, about angels" replied the little
girl indefinitely, and then. seeing a pos
sible application, she turned to the
baby, adding, And you are little
angel. aren't you, vincent?"
Baby might have been expected to
be pleased at this compliment, affec-
uonately given. but not at ALL He
screwed up his small face. threw all
the force Of his small mind into the
putting together of the proper words,
and burst out:

MOUTH NO PLACE FOR COINS

Women are addicted to many per

but / cannot conceive of one that Is
more idiotic than the placing Of coins
in the mouth while the purse or money
bag is being opened. Most women do
this, especially In the street cars, and
are doubtless unmindful Of the fact
that they are thereby inviting danger

often watched women holding coins
between their lips, and have been
very strongly tempted to utter an ad-
monishing word Only to-day / saw
a beautiful girl give conductor a
dime. Sitting opposite to her was a
dirty-looking man, whose hands looked
as IL they hadn't been washed for a
week. He gave the conductor nickel
and the conductor handed 1t to the.
young women in change for her dime.
She placed 1t between her lips while
she opened her money bag. Why does
not some ingenious woman introduce
a small pocket or some device In the
feminine wardrobe that will take the
place Of the lips for holding coins?
Certainly she would be q benefactor

rRiaHTFvL DEGREE OF COLD.
Frost's Intensity Hard for DwelIers in
Temperate Chimes to Realize.

II is difficult for us to form any con-
ception of the degree Of cold repre-
scented by the 80 degrees Of frost re-
corded from certain parts Of Russia.
Sir Leopold McClintock tells how in
one Of his Arctic expeditions sailor
was foolish enough to do some outdoor
work at precisely this temperature.
His hands froze and when he rushed
into the cabin and plunged one OF
them into basin Of water so cold

1t is coming along toward the village
election, which will occur two weeks
after the town meeting March 3D.. The
Banner has not looked up the matter
exactly. but 1t understands that there
will be three vacancies in the Board Of
Trustees from expired terms, and it Is
also reported that one other member
of the board will resign making four
places to be filed.
Whoever has followed up the trustee
meetings in Bennington the past year
must have been struck by the frequen-
cy with which some members OF the
board have absented themselves. We
do not remember single meeting of
the board at which all the trustees
were present Now this is not the
way the village business ought to be
done. A man who is too busy with
his own affairs to attend the meetings
of the board, and do the other work as
signed to him should not attempt to
act as a village trustee. II he finds
himself in Office under these conditions
he should resign at once. and make
place for someone who can and will do
the work.
When Bennington is misgoverned by
the town or village local officials 1t is
not as a rule due to wilful wrong do
ing or graft. but to neglect Of the
officers chosen to perform their part
promptly and thoroughly.
AS the Banner has often urged.
politics ought not to figure in the vii.
lage or town affairs. but we should
make every effort to select honest and
competent men. who are enough inter
ested' in the public good to give the
public service their closest attention,
even II in doing SO they are sometimes
compelled to sacrifice their own pri-
vate interest.

LYDIA E. PlNKHAM

No other medicine for Woman's
ills in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such a
record of success for woman's dis
eases, OF such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia K. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
1t has relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. 1t dissolyes
and expels tumors in an early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostration,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to it; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
1t removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, "don't care "and
"want : to be left -alone feeling,
excitability, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness,
flatulency, melancholy or the" blues."
These are indications of Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
of the Kidneys of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

c. s. Page. the calfskin man and
banker, Of Hyde Park is a firm believ-

as to cause him to feel that his policy

calf skins that is second to none In the
world and annually has to increase
the size Of his plant to meet the de-
mands of the business.

Mr.. Page has also found time to

day one of the leading banking insti-
buttons of Vermont and has done much
to help Vermont industries.
