FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER %. 1910.

The people are nightly in hopes that
the incoming law-making body will oe
equal to the demands of the hour and
accomplish all we need until the next
legislature. Outlines the people are
disappointed in what their representa-
tives accomplish while at Montpelier I;
always some of the people are entirely
dissatisfied with results so far short OF
what they anticipated; there is so much
difference of opinion that friction causes
many wrecks of pet hobbies. We know
the senate will he strong in business
sagacity aud loyalty to principle; the
house will be no less SO, and with Its
many able and honest leaders there is
40 danger that tie following will bt
led astray.

There's O Large Pot Of Trouble Brew
ina For One Milliner.
Mfr. Standish was mad when he went
into the millinery establishment. ana
the longer he stayed the NADER he
got. Presently he walked over 10 a
stunning black creation that hung on
a peg near the window and said:
This is the hat l want to see you
about"
The proprietor came forward.
"What can | do for your" he asked.
you can fix this hat over the way
my wife asked you to-" said Standish
exclusively. "She wants the feather
put on the other side, that bow moved
to the front, and she wants the rim
to bulge little more over the tenn
pies"
Seeing a guilty flush creep over the
proprietor's face, Standish went on
with increased heat:
"She says you have refused to make
any alterations on the ground that
| stitch added to or subtracted from the
hat is bound to ruin 1t, but / tell you
that's all nonsense. My wife knows
how she wants her hat to look, and IL
she can't stand up for her rights I'll do
| 1t for her. She is coming around this
afternoon to try the hat on again. II
It isn't ready by that time there Will
be no end OF a row."
The proprietor twirled the black hat
on his forefinger and looked from 1t to
the head saleswoman lugubriously.

who ordered that hat did bring 1t back
yesterday to be remodeled. Perhaps II

The managers humility made Stand

That's the only way to deal witt
those fellows" he said when he lief
the shop. You've got to meet them OF
their own level. 1t takes man to d.
that. No wonder women get cheated
out OF their very eyeteeth. The!

Throughout the day Standish con
tinued to revel In self congratulations
and he actually went home half al
hour ahead OF time to see If his wife

thing Of beauty he had suggested.
"Well," said he jubilantly, was tn

"All right?' said Mrs. Standist
"They hadn't even touched 1t. How
could you expect it to be all right whe

Seaside BATHING.

1t is easy to understand why a strait
laced Briton or fastidious Partisan

mixed and democratically promiscu-
Gus way we have OF bathing at our
fit TIC adopt the bathing machine: our
free and Independent women go trip
ping to the surf regardless of cam
did scrutiny and the recording lenses
of a hundred kodaks. They wear an
invulnerable modesty that 1engthens
their attire and protects them in the
eyes of all American men.
Disguised Englishman," writing
in a western paper. objects that no
we'll woman would for an in
slant consider the likelihood of her
bathing alone in a creek with strange
man: then why, he asks. should she
disport herself in the surf among a
thousand strangers? The answer is
ready to hand. The Identity of the
woman is lost and her personal safe
ty and confidence assured when she is
merged in multitude. There are no
prurient. prying eyes, such as the alien
critic suspects, among the host of
bathers on the American beach. The
great bulk of them are there to wall
low or dive in the breaker, and no
thought OF immodesty is in their
minds. 1t is very seldom, indeed, that
a vulgar exhibition is attempted at
any of the popular resorts, and indie
eency Is practically unknown.-Phil-

dry, and man is complaining. which
reminds us that "as a rule a mans a
fool: and when it's hot he wants it
cool; and when it's cool he wants it
hot-aIways wanting what is mott"
This is very much like other Julys-
if it lacks water it doesn't lack heat.
AS one poet wrote of it. it is too hot
to sleep, too hot to lie, too hot to
laugh, too hot to cry, too hot to stand,
too hot TO sit too hot to sew, too hot
to knit. too hot to ride. too hot to
walk. too hot to read, too hot to talk
too hot to eat too hot to drink, too
hot to write. too hot to think, too hot
to scold too hot to lease, too hot to
cough. too hot to sneeze, too hot TO
play, too hot to sing, too hot, too hot
for anything!" This was not written
for July, 1910, but it fits 1T as nicely
as though designed by measure and
tailor-fnade. How all signs fail in
dry time July has been showing SIS:
and the hunter can hang his powder
bern on the new moon, which portends
a continuance of dry weather. 1t is
always pleasant to have bad signs fail.
1t took man untold ages to tell why
the sky is blue. 1t is not SO many
hundred years ago that the most in
telligent nations thought it was cell
ing in which the stars were set like
diamonds in a ring. There Is no evil
dence that other planets have a blue
sky like ours. The moon, which has no
atmosphere has black sky, science
teaches us And this overhead arch
is all in your eye-like the horizon.
The moisture in the earth's atmosphere
is the cause of our blue sky, but our
blue sky is less brilliant than some
skies and more brilliant than others.
1t changes to all shades OF blue ac-
cording to the quality of the atmo-
sphere. Van Dyke declares that "air-
blue is seen at its best in the gorges
of the Alps. and in the mountain dis
tances of Scotland" indefinable
blue the most delicate of all colors-
something not of surface depth. but of
transparency builded up of superim-
.posed strata of air many miles in

THE EAST WIND AS AN ASSET.

Boston, while it considers it's ca st
wind as a blessing and an asset, has
to admit that it has no control over
it, The east wind, like all other winds,
is "a grand old harper" and The Bull
letin will admit that the Bostonians
know how ito pull down their hat to
the wind"
The arrival of the east wind on
"Wednesday at 1.-The hub" prompts a
Boston paper to say that zone of the
attractive features of our Boston spe-
cialty. the east wind, which turned
the major part of yesterday from a
promised scorcher into a day of COM
fort and joy, is its delightful indie
pendence of the weather bureau; it's
yesterday. its crisp and saline defiance
ing to happen, puts it high in the list
of Boston's benefactorS.
I'VE are now ready to talk business
regions who need to be convinced of
summer resort
The Bulletin is aware that Boston's
east wind can give the hottest sum-
mer day the shakes, if not the malaria,
and make every citizen. feel as if he
would give $40 if his winter clothes
were on his back instead OF at home.
The east wind refrig erates Boston all
right in the most unexpected man
ner and that is why wooden clothing
is never packed away with camphor
balls by any family familiar with Bos-
toms sudden atmosphericaI changes.

THE STRUCTURAL WEAKNESS

The Dntimely death of Captain Rolls
at BournemOuth, England, this week.

This sad accident to Captain Rolls

MODERN SHIPS AND MODERN
PORTS


The rage for big ships is most ia
vOrable for the future of deep water
ports We have now ships larger than
the Great Eastern and about as swift
as the limited express trains of a
quarter of a century ago. In the way
Of constructing big ships the martial
and the commercial spirit of the ma
lions are walking hand in hand 1t
is not SO many decades ago that a
1.9O0ton ship was a leviathan, but
now We have the 2o,oOO-ton ship. The
Dreadnaughts and the Lusitanias and
Mauretanias will soon be out of the
first class of ocean 1eviathans. The
White Star company now has on the
ways two mammoth floating palaces
that viii by far surpass the great Gu
narders in every dimension. But in
turn the two big ships now under con-
struction at Belfast may soon be sur
ra<sed in dimensions and carrying
capacity by other bigger ships.
And attention is being called to the
fact that the coastal city which ex-
erclses the greatest amount OF fore
sight in bodybuilding and channel
5eerening is going to profit most from
the coming of the big ship. The big
ship has been coming for several dec
ades, and though it may be said to
have arrived, it has not arrived to
the full limit of its bigness. The 1000
foot-long, 45-foot- draught ship is be-
ing talked of as a possibility and the
port that can float and wharf these
monsters is likely to be the great port
or the future

HAS THE COUNTRY BEEN SAVED?

Mr.. Andrew d. White, ex-president
of Cornell, and a retired diplomat,
does not hesitate to tell a representa-
tive Of the New York World that
Theodore Roosevelt saved the coun-
try. He says:
Mr.. Roosevelt read the signs and
with his usual forcefulness took ac-
ton. He caused the searchlight of
publicity to be shed on the corpora
tons. He opened their stock books
and revealed the means and methods
of mismana cement. He gave the pub
lie to understand that corporations no
longer could continue to pursue their
harmful course unchecked. He halted
the advance of those eager for consti-
tutional amendments which would
have made possible socialistic admin
istration. That is why 1 say Mr..
Roosevelt saved this country from So
clalism.'
While Mr.. White is perfectly sin
cere in his conclusions. his attention
is called to the fact that the socialist
vote of the country has been doubled
since this was accomplished and that
one large city is now under socialist
rule with results which promise to in
crease rather than decrease socialist
strength. Mr.. Roosevelt may have
checked the craze for the ownership
of public utilities, but that has been
also held up by the Improbable char
acter of such public enterprises

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
BEING NICE ALL THE TIME.

you don't know Dorothy" said
small boy to me the other day, re-
ferring to a little girl in the neigh
borhood. OF whom 1 have been very
while when she smiles and acts
sweetIy. but if you could see her as
the rest of US children do every day,
guess you wouldn't think she was
nice right along. She is just as fussy
and cross and selfish as any of the
rest of us children around here" Alas!
alasi I see I must stop calling little
Dorothy as an example to other chill
dren of good manners and the I'M
selfish spirit for it is tr~se that I see
her only once in a while and then
usually on occasions when she would
naturally be behaving pretty well.
Nevertheless, am thonkfui for
streaks of niceness in Dorothy and in
anybody else. for there are people
their intervals of being nice. Which
reminds me of the tough who died
out in Tom bStone, Ari- He had lived
an absolutely selfish and wicked life,
but his mates wanted to put as good
an inscription as they could on his
tombstone, so after considerable de-
liberation they decided on this: He
was not as bad sometimes lie was
at others" When all that can be said
abont d man Is that he exhibited diff
ferent degrees of badness at different
times A paTson hasn't much material
at hand on which to construct a eulo-
sy- So it counts in a childs favor
or a mans for that matter, to be able
to say -he or she is nice sometimes
But to spread this niceness over
seven DAYS in the week and thirty
days in the month and twelve months
in the year-aye there's the rub. 1t
is the old question of the long steady
haul versus the short spesmodtc squirt.

And the reason why so many house
holds and offices are places where
grumbling and angry words and hate
full looks are to be found is that the
slant contact with each other get
tired of being nice. oh. of course, we
are mighty nice to that pretty girl
when we first meet her. and all the
time we are counting her, but when
the unromanttc duties and experiences
that are Inevitable accompaniment
of the welded life begin, we quit being
as nice as we used to be. oh, yes, we
are nice to all our com panions on the
first day of a long sea voyage or san
ovarland jorney, but when the novel;
ty wears off, when the boat gets
rocking, or the car stuffy, how our
selfish and brutal instincts assist them
selves. Nc one in the company would
ever think that we were the same nice
person with whom they started out.
You see. being nice is not holiday
proposition. 1t costs time, effort and
self sacrifice 1t may look as if it
seems easy to this or that person to
be habitually nice, but depend upon
1t. he. had to discipline himself before
he was able to be uniformly civil and
obliging. Like everything else that
is worth having, the quality of nice
ness is not passed on from father to
not necessarily acquired even in the
finest fitting schools, but Is the out
come of diligent. patient effort. Study
to be quiet" the apostle enJofned his
converts, and he doubtless might arave
added, study to be nice"
1t may not be easy to define in
words all that we mean by this little
word OF four letters, but we all under
stand it's import and We know that to
be really thought of as nice is one of
the finest compliments that can be
paid to person. big or little. 1t car
ries with It about the same idea that
the epitaph on the tombstone of a
young woman in an English cemetery
signifies, "She was so pleasant"
Why not try to be nice, if not all
the time, at least. all this current
summer time. when we have special
temptations to be careless or selfish
or disagreeable? II you will but make
the try and ask God to help you, you
will have the happiest summer of
your life.
