Tho Talkatiun Rnrhsr-

The talkativencss OF BARRIERS long
has been the subject for puns and
jokes" said barber. II had always
fancled the matter one of recent origin
until the other day. You know in my
profession we have great deal OF
spare time. Well. the other day was
sitting on the bench waiting for the
shaves ana hair cuts TO come In and
20 while away the time was glancing
through copy OF Plutarch's Archie
mus Imagine my CONSERVATION when
! happened on line reading:
"A prating barber asked Archelaua
how he would be trimmed. lie an.
severed, "ln silcnce."'
We'll, that got me. i never knew
they even had BARRIERS that long ago.
I always supposed the ancicnts let
their whiskers grow and that they
wore curly locks as long MS their to-.
gas. but it seems that the barber is
nm ancient relic and that his talking
procllvitics arc matter Of history.
I'll have TO give 1t TO the humorists
there.
But, say" he whispered, that man
icure girl over there has got us beat ia

idea that the big job Is to clothe and

save them FROM working with their
hands. and insure them starched
shirts during their lives. But all this
Is nothing I'm comparison with tie real
work of rearing the men and v'omen

their training. moral. intellectual and

and clothers of bodies. and we do this
much for animals.
Children need companionship, and
companionship means more than seq.

A Horse With a Charmed Life.

Logging Is sometimes considered hah,
ardou- occupation, hut ~ mountainous
countries there Is much greater los "i
life among the horses than among the men.
When a heavy load OF logs il being dragged
down a steep descent the chain, or other
device used TO hold them back, sometimes
breaks. and lets the whole load down
ON the nearest horse. There Is one horse
which has been logging IN the White
Mountains for years aud notwithstanding
many narrow escapes, "Old Bill seems to
bear charmed life. Leonard Dewitt sher'
man in hi, Logging in the White Noun
tains." in the February Recreation, thus
describes this horses tactics;
Up TO a few days before Old Bill had
been working with mate called Cherry,
hauling logs with a single sled directly
from the stnmps to small landings OF
wards" beside the nam roads. One day,
ON steep pitch. something gave way and
let the load onto them and they were un.
able to hold it. Old Bill promptly lat down
ON his tail and slid; Cherry, with less ex.
perience and lacking the knowledge OF
what to do in an emergency, threw HIM,
self. was scraped into tree and sustained
a broken neck. That was what they called
"suicing a team.
30 Old Bill was pu, TO work ''twitehing
logs. He was pretty slow had TO look
carefully to see which way he was going
and nothing in the wide world would make
him move faster. When he came To a
pitch he would stop and look about 70
see il anybody was going to help HIM
down. After the driver had pushed him
over he would sit down and slide. II the
log he was dragging had "tail-chain
wrapped around il everything went smooth
": II il didn't il would slide down and
and bump him. In that case he would
make nifty hop to one side or else spread
his legs and let the log slide between them
II he was swept off hi. feet. ii was all one
to him, and he was apt to sit down on the
log and ride to the bottom. ! watched the
performance two or three times with ever
growing amazement.

A Lincoln Penny for Lee.

She was little girl and she did not know
much about history except that she had
been taught from the cradle to love Robert
+. Lee. She had heard, too, of Lincoln,
and in the books she read there had been
no attempts to paint him as scoundrel or
treacherous villain. She knew that one
time he had been president of the United
States and that somehow he and Lee had
been arrayed against each other. She did
not understand it-perhaps she never will
but both men to her were great and clean
and spotless.
On Lees birthday at one of the public
schools of this city the children wished to
contribute to fund for monument to
him. They brought their little savings and
gave them cheerfully, glad to be able to do
even so little in honor of their hero-the
Souths hero. This one little girl had only
penny, and when it came time to give
that she hesitated. She had not thought
OF it before, but suddenly it occurred to
her that she must beware lest she commit
an improperly. "Please, teacher" she
said, Twill it be all right for me to give
Lincoln penny"
We cannot all give Lincoln pennies

DR.. Holton Honored.

Dr. Henry d. Holton, who recently
passed the 5Oth anniversary of the day
when he started practicing medicine. IN
yited the members of the local medical so
ciety and their friends to dinner at the
Brooks House Monday evening. The ar
rangements for this dinner were lett IN
the bands of the society and the opportun
ity was improved to make 1t an occasion
for showing the honor and respect IN
which DR.. Holton is held by his PROBES
sional brethren and men in other walks
of life.
DIR. C. s, Pratt presided and there were
present among Others DIR. Z. ;. SaVerly
of Rutland and DR.. Thomas kidder OF
Woodstock, who are members of the state
board of health, of which DR.. Holton Is
secretary, Rev. George B. Lawson of the
Vermont academy, Rev. j. r. Cow OF the
Baptist church. Judge j. NJ. Tyler, DR.. =.
B, Osgood of Townshend and DR.. q. >,
Foster of Putney. After an excellent din
ner DR.. Pratt called upon DR.. Holton for
some "reminiscences of his SO years prac-
tice. which were listened to with great
interest and attention by everyone pres
emit. DR.. Holton spoke of his acqualnt-
ance with many of the prominent surgeons
and physicians Of past years and told some
interesting personal experiences OF medl,
cal and surgical cases with which he had
been connected, including a heretofore I'M
published story of the curing OF peculiar
sickness of young man who Tor months
had been unable to speak, simply by the
power of suggestion. Dr.. Hoton SAID
that this story was one which he had never
before dared to tell as his conduct OF this
case was not strictly compatible with pro-
fessional ideals.
1t is well known, among those whose
business it is to know, that DR.. Holton
was one of the leading surgeons OF the
east during the days when he. was en-
gagged in active practice and It was
fences in modest and impersonal way on
this occasion.
At the close of his remarks short
speeches were made by Judge Tyler, Rev.
Mr.. Lawson, Dr. Kidder, DR.. Caverly, Dr.
Gregg and Rev. Mr. Cow, all OF whom
paid tribute of honor and affection to

The Men That Get On.

"Some men, said business manager
"are afraid of responsibility, some men wei
come it; either sort OF man may be good
and useful or bad and harmful, according
to his special development.
There are timid men, who need some
body always to lean upon, but who un
der guidance are faithful and effective
workers; and then there are men afraid Of
responsibility, who are always irresolute
and ineffective, who never can be prodded
into anything but the dullest OF dull rou
tine work and must always stay down
close to the ground, men oil small ac
count.
"Then among men not afraid to take re.
sponsibilty you find some who are toe
cocksure about it, ready to settle any ques
ton that comes up to them right off the
bat, big or little, going ahead jauntily
slapdash not good sort of man this to
have at a responsible post
"Also you have the man not afraid who
thrves on responsibility and enjoys the
increase of power, but who is cool and
clear-headed, man of keen and true dis.
cernment, who knows instinctively and
logically what is the right thing to do and
who then fearlessy goes ahead and does it,
a man of brains and courage. \ rare com
bination this, and the man that possesses
it gets far.
For courage is the manly attribute that
men most admire: we'd all dearly love to
be courageous, to dare; and the man of
courage plus brains, the man not afraid to
take the responsibility and who has also
the downright ability to make good, we cot
ton to, and him most of us are willing to
follow and obey. He can have what he
wants in this world, and if he should want
it he can have the biggest pair of wings in
the world to come.
III you expect to get anywhere don't be
afraid to take the responsibility! But really
to get on you want to mix your courage
with brains New York Sun.
