happened when he attempted to humor
her. He owned. and frequently wore
an opal stickpin. The opal is consid-
cred an "unlucky" stone. At any rate,
whenever anything annoying, distress

was blamed.
"At last" the husband declared, "a

that the opal was to blame.

The advice being rendered TO the yot-
ers ofEermont to go to the polls next
Tuesday is good, and it should be ac-
companied by the further advice to vote
according to ones honest convictions,
rather than because Of what someone
else may tell you. A little independent
voting following independent thinking
will not do any harm to the state Of
Vermont, provided it is based on honest
beliefs. The advice applies to local,
county and state elections.

The remarks Of the great Egiost OF
Europe at konigsberg, on the trust inn
posed upon his esteemed grandfather
and himself, having aroused public feel
ing in Germany, a sort Of official ex-
PLANTATION has been made. Thus the
speech was not 4 governmental act, but
an expression of personal opinion. II
hreathed the spirit Of true piety devo-
ton to duty, and So on. As a thorough
" godly man the kaiser, or rather the
Kaiser in his capacity as king of Prussia,
would not be swayed by the huctuating
opinions Of the day And 50 on.
An this Is a complete admission Of the
truth OF the case Of the critics. Under
the Won Buelow understanding, the
kaiser was not to talk without consult
ing with his minister In other words,
as the head Of the empire could not be
held responsible il was necessary TO
find somebody who could he. This would
be a constitutional condition Of affairs.
Germany has tired Of irresponsible
cgoism in. the sovereign, The majority
Of the people don't want to have an
individual set himself Up as above the
parliament, above the courts, above the
law, the sole custodian Of the moral
ideas OF whole people. That sort Of
picturesque mediaeyalism Is a thing OF
the past which could not be tolerated
by any nation with some respect for
its liberties-New York Evening Sun.

BARREls voTING sTRENGTH.

The decrease in the voting list in
Barre for the fall election over that Of
two years ago finds its cause partially
N the labor trouble Of six months ago
when many voters left the city and have
not even yet returned. while another
reason is to be found in the apathy over
the result Of the contest, except for
some interest in the local representative
election. There has not been a single
election in recent years which has had
s. little excitement and attendant inter
est as the one which IL now drawing to
close. Therefore, taking that with
the fact that many voters left Barre
last winter. the loss in the checklist at
the present time over the last biennial
election year is readily accounted for.
That the city is picking up somewhat,
however, is indicated BY the consider.
able gain over the checklist Of the
spring election.

Opera House Tonight.
The production Of Just Out Of Col.

AIDE. the famous author Of the college
Widow" will be given at the opera
house this evening. The play is filed
with people who are met every day
waiting for the elevator IN any Of the
big Office buildings, and Mr.. AIDE en-
dows almost al Of them with the biting
wit which in real life oniy appertains
to three OF four IN every such group.
The result Is riot Of brilliant lines
which are funny and are something
more; they are characteristics Of the peos
pie who speak them and of the wild
scramble and rush Of American life.
Every auditor who goes to business
recognizes his or her offices mates and
street ear aeqnaintanecs across the foot-
lights. That being so It is inevitable
that the string Of episodes should be
received with shouts OF laughter.
The piece centres about one Of those
smooth and easy young Americans who
has the nerve to play poker or the
ticker with his last dollar IN his lat
est work SIR. AIDE brings out the hu-
morous side Of the adventures Of 4 young
college graduate who must make bis
own living. handicapped with lady
love and a lack Of funds He persuades
the father Of the Young lady to lend
him 5000 70 invest The father is a
dealer in pickles, The college boy starts
IN to manufacture pickles on his own
