Representative Bartholdt OF

Why, an actor could make
more effective love to that bottle
than to most women, because he
would know just where it's at.
And as for any feeling of emotion

a leading woman for a year and a
half to whom I never spoke.
"And 1 never look into the eyes
Of the woman 1 play with"
Thereupon this emotional actor
leaned forward out of his smoke
clouds. He put on the rapt, soul
full gaze that entrances the audi
ence when he turns it on his stage
affinity. From across the table
1t rested just where it made me
wonder If my hat was on crooked.
All this talk of stage lowering
had gradually grown out of
Hackett's stories of the past.
He had talked of his early sue
cess in the Prisoner of Zenda, +"
and of his remarkable Juvenile
leads that made him a star at 25,
and the lion of New York and
London drawing rooms. He said
that the actor had only to make
two appeals, one to the ear and
one to the eye. And somehow
the drift of the conversation kiss

Still further down the road the
prohibitionists have erected q

have come cause to be detected.
They are letting out cry Of

heard all over the District of CO.

And the blue-ribboners are
continuing to do business. They
have mapped out plan for the
sixty-first congress that is any
thing but encouraging to the sa-
loon interests. The campaign in
cludes the introducing of bill
providing that an amendment to
the constitution prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of liquor in
the United States, be proposed to
the legislatures of the 46 states.
Should three-fourths of the
state legislatures ratify the pro-
posed amendment, the United
States would become nationally
dry.
If congress refuses to pass this
bill, the national prohibition COM
mittee will try to have three
fourths of the state legislatures
petition congress to adopt the
amendment. Then congress would
be forced to do so.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Ex-
press companies are in danger of
being driven out of the liquor
business in "dry" territory. 1t
may not be generally known they
are in the saloon business, but
they are, and are making money
hand over fist.
The game is this: Distillers
ship original packages in small
quantities across the state line in
to prohibition states addressed to
John Browns, "Wm. Jones' !"
and other fake names, sending
the packages G. o. d. All the man
With a thirst has to do is to go in
the express office and ask for a
package addressed to John
Brown" He gets it, and pays the
charges. This shipment is lawful,
because it is interstate.
: But the house of representatives
has just passed an amendment to
the penal code bill which prohibits
this sort of thing. If the senate
does its part--if 1t does-"dry"
will really be "dry."
? The amendment as 1t passed the
house prohibits:
! The shipment of any interstate
package of intoxicating liquors to
be collected for on delivery.

intoned, "I'll show you," Jas. X.
Hackett, lion of romantic drama,
quickly caught my hand, bent low
and gave an example of the i'm
pressive Hacket caress right then
and there.
He showed.
In an instant all the much
talked-of stage soul kisses, includ-
ing the flaming poppy delirium
brand of Cleopatra's orient, took
on about the same effusiveness
and soul-stirring depth that an
old stage sofa without the lovers
inspires.
Not that the pressure Of Hack
ett's lips lack vehemence.
Nor that the pressure approved
elements of lingeringness and
clingingness lacking. But 1t was
over the actors own thumb that
the kiss fingered and chung.
"See, as my lips near lady's
hand / slip my thumb on top of
it," he explained.
"That saves her glove or pow
dered hand from the red blotch
that the rouge on my lips would
make. And it's the same with the
lips or the face.
I'm all my career 1 have never
kissed a woman on the STAGE"
Hackett settled back from the
lunch table spread in the dining
room of his private car with the
enjoyment of a boy who takes to
pieces the clock works he has
been tediously putting together.
The fine eyes that look such
unutterable Coverings and roman

lowed the puffs of his cigar with
an amused twinkle. The firm jaw

Three coNVlcTS Make
BREAK FOR Liberty

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
VANCOUVER, B. c., March 26.
"A special from New Westmin-
ster says:
Three convicts made a desper-
ate attempt to break away from
the penitentiary yesterday after
noon. Guard Imlah was on duty
in the ground with II prisoners
when he noticed that three of
them were edging towards the
fence. He spoke to them, but
finding them inclined to be mu-
tinous, ordered them into the
building. AS he could not leave
the other convicts, he covered the
three men with his gun until
they reached the door, when sud
denly they wheeled around and
ran toward certain spot in the
wooden wall and endeavored to
wrench off some of the boards.
Imlah thereupon fired three shots.
The men were captured by the
relief guards and Immediately
placed in solitary confinement.

reach $4,000.
/ Another phase that should not be
overlooked is the increase in the ex-
penses incident to litigation which is
caused by the doubling of witness fees.
No person is likely to dispute the as
sertion that justice should be as cheap
as possible. At the present time it is
very expensive. A rich man naturally
has an advantage over his poor op-
ponent. He can employ ADLER talent
and can carry his case to the higher
courts, proceeding which severely
taxes the resources of the man of lin
tied means. 1t is said that not long
ago wealthy man desired to purchase
part of an estate adjoining his prop
erty. His neighbor, who was a poor
man, refused OF sell. The rich man
thereupon caused a search of the rec

The Grange supplies just the op-

women a chance to develop talent,
to acquire the ability to speak in
public, and is a splendid, all round
training school. 1t tends to make the
farmer more progressive, bringing him
in touch with the best modern ideas,
and enabling that exchange of views
and experiences which is mutually |
helpful. A good live Grange in every |
town in Vermont would be valuable |

who know how to conduct homes and
must have them if the future of the
country is to be safe"
1t is generally admitted that educa
ton should be of nature to fit boys
and girls for their future careers.
Sooner or later the majority of the
girls will marry and the greater pro-
portion of them will need to know
how to cook and how to manage a
home Only few will be able 20
have all these thing/ done and every
one should know how they ought to
be done
Without any disparagement Of
woman's ability in other fields of en-
deavor, her greatest sphere of uss-
fulness is, and must continue to be,
the home. Every school girl is a pos
sible wife and as such should receive
training fitting her for her duties as
a housewife. In any event such
knowledge is as useful as the "ac-
L. "A
knowledge of the nutritive value of
foods, of healthful cookery, of econ
omical buying and preparation of
food supplies, and all that goes to
make a home comfortable and at
tractive is of practical benefit every
day in the year. Such knowledge
makes homes happier and as nat
ural consequence, divorces fewer.
OF course it is not possible i'm
mediately to provide every country
school in Vermont with an ideal
course in domestic science, but we
ought to do the best we can to pro-
vide such instruction and our teach
ers ought to take such a course in the
normal schools. The most import
ant and noble of all duties is that of
wife and mother and these duties
have been assumed with less knowl-
edge of the real requirements of the
position than that of any other pro-
fession in the world. AS a result of
such ignorance there has been a rec
ord of unhappiness, illness and
death that is truly appalling. If we
can better these conditions by proper
instruction in our public schools.
and it is certain that we can, we can
not afford to neglect these most i'm
portant of all branches of instruction.
Whatever makes for the safety and
happiness of the American home is a

HONEST PLATFORMS.
(Rutland Herald.)

The entirely frank and fearless
discussion of political platforms that
is animating the State press just now
is one of the best things for public
| honesty that could possibly happen
in Vermont. Unless a man is DELHI
erately deaf and blind, he ought to
be able to form very accurate idea
of what Vermont really thinks of the
recent party fiasco at Montpelier, not
with the first violent heat of indig-
nation, but in the calm, deadly after
thought that gets permanent re-
suits.
The Montpelier Journal, however,
finds its resolutely regular mind
somewhat disturbed by the extreme
ly plain-cut talk of the Herald. the
Brattleboro Reformer. the Hardwick
Gazette, the Poultney Journal, Enos-
bug Standard and others. 1t hastens
to print a saving clause:-
IF Republican legislators refuse
to be bound by party declarations the
platform amounts to nothing but
shame and reproach to the party that
refuses to keep it's pledges. This pa
per, however, believes thoroughly
in the adoption of platform that
means something and it believes in
living up to that platform after it is
adopted"
There is no eff" about it, neigh
Dor. They HAVE refused to be
bound by such declarations and all
platforms amount to nothing until
the State can have some assurance
of political honesty in the future.
How can it be given?
Herald readers will recall the fire.
quent publications of items like the
following in the editorial columns of
this paper
1T would be possible for the State
committee to follow it's customary
policy of designating a chairman of
the committee ON resolutions, who
shall prepare rough draft of the
platform, which shall be discussed
and voted on by the State committee.
Then this tentative platform might
be given out to the State press a few
weeks in advance of the convention
for general discussion. This may not
be considered feasible plan, but it
would give an opportunity to obtain
the sentiment of the public on the !
platform, and delegates would be in
a position to act intelligently in the
matter. In any event the platform
should be discussed, plank by plank,
If there is any objection, and this
discussion, as the Journal already
has suggested, should come before
nominations are made, while all the
delegates are present"

HOME MAKING AS A PROFESSION,

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian
points out one of the weak spots in
our system of education when il
says:
Thirty questions asked of class
of twenty-siX girls in a Massachus-
etts high school brought out the fol-
lowing interesting information:
Twelve of the twenty-six said they
could make bread, eighteen could
make cake and all could make candy.
Twenty-Five had built a kitchen fire,
twenty had cooked beefsteak and
twenty asserted that they had pre-
pared full meal. Only one knew why
new bread is not a healthful article
OF food, and twenty-four were unable
to tell what trap to a sink is. The
making OF starch was understood by
twenty of the class, and sixteen said
they could iron their collars and
cuffs. twenty girls could mend their
clothes-at least that's what they
claimed,-and seventeen had made
shirt waists. Seven of the seventeen
had made but one shirt waist. but
there was one girl in the class who
had made fifty. When it came to
trimming hats there were thirteen
girls who knew how, and thirteen
who didn't know and hadn't tried to
learn.
This information wotIld indicate
that these girls expected one of the
main vacations of their life will be
candy making. Less than half of
them are equipped to make bread anC.
about three-fourths of them could get
full meal. Possibly these girls came
from class that would warrant
them in neglecting preparation for
the practical duties of housekeeping
to the extent indicated, but a suspi-
cion is warranted that a greater per
cent of them will have to engage to
some extent in cooking, ironing and
mending when they are thrown on
their own resources, and especially if
they go into homes of their own
But 1t is evident they are either ignor-
ant OF this or else Indifferent to the
way they are to fulfil these duties. So
far as this is true so far are they neg

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP CANDIDATES.

Five candidates took the qualifying ex-
animation for the Rhodes scholarship in
Oxford University, held Tuesday at the
Billings Library. Three were from the
University of Vermont and two from
Middlebury College. Those from tho
University of Vermont were Elias Lyman,
Jr., and Donald McClelland of Burlington
and James Wilson of Bethel Those from
Middlebury were George Kidder of New
York and Boswortd, IL of Bristol. These
examinations papers will be forwarded to
Oxford for marking and later selection
of a candidate will be made by the COM
mittee of selection from some one of
those who pass the examination success
fully. President NJ, H. Buckham is
chairman of this committee. Other things
are taken into consideration, in the APP
pointment of candidate, aside from
scholarship. Among these are athletic
ability activity in college life and similar
points.
