SOMETHING TO ADMIRE
There is something about the beautiful writing papers Made in Berkshire' by
EATON, CRANE & PIKE

that both attracts and interests the person examining them. The beautiful textures and finishes of the papers themselves and the neat, artistic way in which they are put up are features that appeal strongly to the lover of the beautiful.
 The Eaton, Crane X Pike writ ing papers are the best that America produces, and America produces the best. If you are not using these papers you owe it to yourself and your friends to adopt them.

MONEY FOR VERMONT ROADS.

The close Of the coming summer should
see the roads OF Vermont in far better
shape than they were year ago at that
time, for large majority Of the towns
Of the state have taken advantage Of the
state aid plan. The state read commits
sioner announced at Darlington yesterday
that up to the present he has heard from
200 Of the 246 towns Of the state which
have appropriated the necessary amount
from their own treasures in order to
get their spportienmeat Of the state
fund. 1t will be better to expend this
money in building section of really good
road rather than in spreading out cheap
substitute, and we trust that the state
commissioner and his cennty supervisors
win see that this policy is pursued in
all the towns where state aid is called
for. II the money is to be spent in
repairing roads, it will be as good as
wasted SO far as the purpose back Of the
states appropriation is concerned. What
the state intends il to make permanent
roads, not to patch old ones. let the
local commissioners bear this in mind
also.

Secretary T. NJ. Hays OF the Vermont

from Washington, is enthusiastic over
re prospect for the success OF this cele-
bration provided the people Of this city
make the necessary preparations for the
entertainment and accommodations Of

The distinguished visitors from Wash,

President Sherman. Speaker Cannon and

premier, and other prominent personagcs.

these handsome mementoes of the occa-

WOULD BE 4 COOP CHANGE.

If it Should come to the point in
Vermont where the legislature could not
elect its own members to state Offices
and the governor could not appoint from
that body TO any Of the appointive Offices,
there would be an end to the practice
of seeking election to the legislature as
stepping stone to personal aggTandize-
ment. Then we should have fewer of
those men who spend their time in the
legislature jockeying for prominence for
what there is in 1t for them. There is
no doubt that in consequence we should
be enabled to get better and more expe.
ditious service from our Lawmakers.
As a matter Of fact, there are in each
assembly a certain number of men who
strive to acquire such prominence as
will put them In line for appointment or
election to lucrative and desirable Offices
which are at the disposal Of the executive
or the assembly itself. Be it said to the
credit of the assembly and to the wisdom
o. the governor, however, that rarely do
these men succeed in their ambition.
Nevertheless, they spend valuable time
and put the legislature back days, per-
haps weeks, because Of their spread-eagle-
ism. If it ceuld be arranged constita.

Bright Boy.


Our Willie is the dearest boy,
We look on him with pride and Joy,
He's not a mollycoddle.
He's full Of life and harmless fun,
But still, when all is said and done,
He's not far from model
Yet somehow he Is never so
With people whom he does not know
Hes really bright as he can be-.
As anyone can plainly see.
Few are as smart as Willie;
And vet, TO our ehagrin, we've found
That when there's company around
He does seem rather silly.
In fact, he shows slight evidence
OF having any ordinary sense.
Some people think he's rude and mean,
And misehievous. They've never seen
His sweetness and politenass.
They have not the parental eye
And that's no doubt the reason why
They can't conceive his brightness.
And that, no doubt, is why they scofT.
