marvellous.
The jolly pair. James Toney and
Antoinette Norman, will present an

Husbands and wives, and those
contemplating matrimony, would do
vel to attend a performance of
:" he Thief" now being. presented
atHhe Auditorium theater, with Her
bert Kelley and Effie Shannon in
the title roles.
1t was love for her husband, and
her effort to retain her love, that
the wife stole hundreds of dollars
from their friend. 1t was the same
love that was the cause of the hus-
band forgiving his wife, and it was
also love that caused the young son
to take the blame on himself for the
theft the woman had committed
and who was willing to take the
consequences and to be exiled to
Brazil for two years. The scenes
are laid in France.
Miss Effie Shannon, as the wife,
does some splendid acting. as does
Herbert Kelley as the husband. The
first act was nearly all taken up by
Leonard Ide, as the son, and Arthur
Lawrence, as M. Gondoin, the de-
tective. "The Thief" will be re-
peated this afternoon and tonight.

dances intermingled. will be the Of.
fering of Harry Fentelle and Viola

Forest Fires in Vermont.

The above is the title of No. 2 of the
Forest Service publications by Austin F.
Halves. state forester. The booklet gives
in detail the forest fires that have occurr-
ed in Vermont, the amount of damage
and the cost to the state of controlling
them. During the past four years there
have been reported IA fires in 90 towns
which burned over 1913 acres. caused
an estimated damage of $35, 682. so and
the reported cost of extinguishing was
81, 2O9.13. The report points out that
the estimated damage is ridiculously
small in many cases.
The State forester recommends that
the law be amended to allow fire ward
ems So a day for all time spent in the
service; that the state forester be given
authority to divide towns where there is
unusual danger from forest fires into two
or more districts and appoint warden
for each district; that selectmen be COM
PEELED to report to the state forester be-
fore spending over 500; that the state
forester be authorized to maintain tele
phones in the houses of permanent war
dens and paying the expenses of the war
dens at meetings called to discuss fire
problems; that the state forester be given
power to compel lumbermen to 1op the
branches of all soft wood trees cut where
deemed necessary; that the establishment
of fire watch stations be authorized and
when ever private parties are willing to
maintain such a station the state forester
be authorized to furnish it telephone con-
nections and maintain a Waterman there
during such periods as he deems advis-
able.
All these recommendations contain
some merit but should be carefully scru-
tinized before any state official is given
the power to incur so much expense in
behalf of the state. The necessity of es-
tablishing watch stations with a watch
man under state pay would be open to
some question. There are very few if
any sections of Vermont where a forest
fire could assume any dangerous head
way without being detected by the resi-
dents near their vicinity. IF some way
could be devised to induce the people to
report fires to the proper authorities as
soon as discovered it would be quite an
effective system of watching. Without
discussing the recommendations further

we leave them for reading and consider
alton by the general public.
Mead and Fleetwood.

DR.. Mead's artless evasion of the ques-
ton whether or not he would make pub
lie his campaign expenses has proven a
most serious puncture in his inflated
boom. Not paper in Vermont dares to
really defend it and many which have
been inclined to support the doctor now
say they cannot do so. His answer
stripped gifts useless verbiage is simply
that he is spending money for political
purposes in a way he dare not make pub
lie. The people do not believe it will add
to the credit of Vermont to become a
pocket borough for rich men to buy as
their whims may dictate and are not sat
isfed with DIR. Mead's answer. His
campaign is tumbling because his bust
ness ability cannot overcome the dishon-
or connected with his campaign methods.
On the other hand F. 6. Fleetwood,
who announced that he should conduct
no money campaign, has stood firm for
his declared principles even when his
competitors claimed to be understanding
him. No matter what his opponents
have thought of him in the past they
must acknowledge he is the only declar-
ed candidate for governor now before
the people who has had the strength to
resist temptation to buy public Office.
This demonstration on his part is one of
the most satisfactory evidences of
strength of character yet made in this
campaign and is winning friends for him
every day.

has been placed near the entrance and a

Mrs. c. B. Beck has loaned the Museum
few Colonial articles. One is a slit
purse made of silk and cut steel beads, OF
a style much in vogue 100 years ago. A
steel knife and fork with horn handles
are interesting. The fork has but two
tines and was used for holding the food
only. The knife has very broad blade
and was used for cutting the food and
conveying it to the mouth. The two
tined fork was later succeeded by the
three tined and afterwards by the silver
fork with four tines and eating with the
knife went out of fashion. Mrs. Beck has
also loaned an especially pretty lustre
pitcher.
Two Canadian bank tokens have been
