Carefulness in Driving
barre Times1

The following from The Greenfield,
(Mass.), Gazette can be applied with good
results here in Vermont, where the auto
| mobile is becoming more and more COM
mon on the country roads: with the auto
mobile growing factor along the coun.
try roads, the drivers of carriages must
expect for their own protection to exercise
greater watchfulness. The time has gone
by when one could jog along the country
road half asleep, with eyes everywhere
but on the road, the reins loosely falling
down the horse's side, and the sleepy
beast taking bis own path. On frequent
ly travelled roads there is no knowing at
what moment motor car may appear
around turn of the road, and the driv-
er of the carriage must accept the result
of his own carelessness if he be caught in
the middle or on the wrong sidr of the
road. The carelessness of many motor
lists is deplorable and often arrogant, but
drivers of horses are careless too. This
habit of inattentive driving caused mauy
accidents before the automobile was
dreamed of, and it is just as we'll if the
horse owner now realizes that the public
highway is no place for idle dreaming.
Driving is active work, requiring constant
watchfulness."
The point was illustrated by a Barre
automObilist recently by an incident in
which the slight damage done might
have been averted had anything like ordi-
nary care in driving been exercised. The
automobile approached a team which was
driven by An elderly man, and the driver
did not even draw up the reins as the car
came nearer. The auto was stopped dead
in the road fifty feet away when it became
evident to the automobilist that the horse
was little nervous; but the horse feeling
no restraint whatever, started to turn
around and ended by getting tangled in
barbed wire fence doing slight, damage
to the vehicle. The driver of the team
admitted that his equine never before had
been frightened by automobiles. 1t is
probable that had he pulled the reins taut
this time the horse would have been guild
ed past the motor car without trouble.
A little more attention to the horse and
to the approaching automobile will help
matters good deal for the driver.

Extending Mt. Mansfield Road
(Montpelier Journal)

The suggestion that the Mount Mans
field electric railroad shall be extended
from Stowe to Morrisville is being dis
cussed with more earnestness than evel
before and the Journal hopes that the
discussion will result in some definite
action.
A glance at the map will show that in
order to reach this city by rail from Nor
risville, Hyde Park, johnson, and that
vicinity. it is necessary to take very
roundabout course, making the expense
in time and money much greater than by
the proposed route. The construction of
such a line would attract large number
of passengers, giving a much better train
service for a large number OF towns.
Persons desiring to go to Boston, for i'll
stance, could take the electrics forWater-
] bury and make their connections much
more easily than by the present method.
| 1t would bring Lamoille county into
much closer touch with the outside
world and would be an important factor
in developing the summer tourist bust
| ness.
The Bennington Banner, discussing
this topic says:
eff the experience developed out of
Bennington furnishes any basis for a con-
cluSion, the Mount Mansfield Electric
Railway company will find, once that it
extends it's line into Morrisville, that the
through traffic between Waterbury on
the Central Vermont and the other pro-
posed terminus on the Boston and Maine
will come to be larger factor in the
future success of the property. At pres
ent the Mount Mansfield road merely
connects the town of Stowe with the out
side world and the traffic is all local.
The two electric lines running into
Bennington, the Bennington and North
Adams and the Bennington and Hoosac
Valley, both form connecting links be.
tween the terminal of steam Operated
roads and for this reason are largely used
by persons who are passing this way on
extended journeys. This through traffic
is tbound to increase every year as the
convenience and lower rates afforded by
the trolley lines become more generally
known, but even at the present time it is
fairly safe to state that the revenue
gathered from this source is the balance
that keeps the roads in operation"
The Mount Mansfield road has ex-
perienced hard Shedding at different
periods in its career and the reason for it |
is undoubtedly the fact that because of |
its location it has no through traffic, es.
pecially during the winter months when
the operating expenses are heavier"
"A through trolley line from Water
bury to Morrisville would be extensively
used by the travelling public in central
Vermont for the reason that it would cut
down the mileage in many instances. At
present to reach many points in Lamoille
county and the country north, persons (
living IN the vicinity of Montpelier must
either 60 around by the way of Essex
Junction or st. Johnsbury, necessitating '
several changes and travel over three a
different branches of steam roads. The II
strange feature of the situation is that

AT THE CHURCHES
Advent

The preaching service last Sunday
morning was preceded by solo, :" The
Holy City," by Miss Grace Prior.
The subject of the sermon was. "That
Beautiful City," text Rev. 21:1O-11.
Pastor Wales reviewed ancient cities
comparing their characteristics and splen-
dor to that of the new Jerusalem. In
the days of David and Solomon the tenn
pie was the chief glory of Jerusalem.
The Glory Of God was manifest in only
that one place, but in the New Jerusalem
it shall fill the whole earth. Babylon in
the days of NebuchadneZzar, contained
one of the wonders of the world, the
hanging gardens. But what are these
compared to the draperies of the celestial
city?
Ninevah was populous city, but there
shall be an innumerable company for
Gods ideal city. Ancient Athens shone
with buildings and statues of marble,
ivory and gold, but no one will ever look
upon the ruins of the Capitol City.
Thebes covered large territory; New
Jerusalem is described as being 375 miles
to a square. Memphis, existing 1900
years before Solomon, was called the
haven of the good; but sin and suffering
were there. Nothing unclean shall enter
our future home. The Pyramids seem
almost to have come to stay. One hun.
dred thousand men were employed 20
years to construct the Great Pyramid
but "we look for city which hath foun-
dations whose builder and maker is
God"
Where is "that beautiful city, coming
from? Down from God out of heaven,
prepared as bride adorned for her
husband. Surely it is worth living for.

Lamoille Grange Notes

The next regular meeting of Lamoille
Grange, will be held tomorrow afternoon.
The following original poem was read
by one of the sisters at a special meeting
held Monday evening. Oct 49,
One hundred cents, our Lecturer said
Should be assessed upon each head
OF all the women, young and old.
Before the wintry winds blow cold
All for the piano the Grange bought
My cares are many, my ways are few
To earn my money, as other lolks do;
So shut my eyes and pondered and thought
And this is the fruit of what got
All for the piano the Grange bought.
The Overseer of the Poor was pressed for time
And for my services offered dime,
To convey potatoes ripe and rare
One mile and half, to the County Fair
All for the piano the Grange bought.
For my fatherin-law, made shirt
With seam and gussett and band,
And band and gussett and seam
And over the buttons fell asleep
And sewed them on in dream
All for the piano the Grange bought
Two shillings he gave for this work of art,
And my,next exploit was with cart,
A load OF slab-wood l promised to draw
For the lecturers help.mate, Mr. T.. l.. Shaw
All for the piano the Grange bought.
The day was fine, when made my trip,
The horses were slow and needed whip,
But CLICKED and hauled like farmers daughter
And when the goal was reached received quarter
All for the piano the Grange bought.
now figured out my pianos due
And found they lacked just thirty-two
To cam the last of the money was quite rub
But struck an idea one day at the hub,
The cart and the horses having held together
started out in the autumn weather
To peddle out for Elmer Ryder.
My dollar is earned and hand it in
And think the work was no sin.
For the object in view we cast our lot
The bargain is made and the piano bought,
To have and to hold for all time
By the ladies of the Grange in 1909.

How Proper Clothes
Hide Bodily Defects

the skin Of the arms is red and coarse,
IL is an excellent plan to line all sleeves
with a creamy tint Of mousseline de
sole over an inner lining of fine white
net.
A big waist can be frequently reduced
by a skilful dressmaker who avoids
anything like a contrast at the waist,
or by skilful folds, and careful fitting
and boning reduce the appearances of a
waist several inches.
Too great prominence of the bust may
also be hidden by well-arranged bodices
made on a fitted lining. and arranged
so that the fullness is lost sight of.
Prominent hips may be reduced and
disguised by a well-cut corset and a
skirt cut and designed with the idea of
remedying the defect.
Round shoulders, which have not be-
come too pronounced. may be hidden by
a little careful arrangement and the
skilful draping of a fichu-like trim
ming. In short, there are few. If sny.
defects of the body that cannot be
COPIED with and improved by a really
capable dressmaker.
