A sHIFTY MAJORITY.

The town of Putney, Vt, is a pro11i- bftion town and the hotel keeper has been detected selling liquor illegally and taken into court and the report of the trial says:
 MT. Shumway pleaded guilty. but presented 8 petition signed by 90 peo- pie, asking for 1eniency, and saying that he had been selling with their knowledge and permission"
 This is a peculiar defense, but the petitioners represent a majority of the voters of the place, and the hotel keeper apparently concluded that il- legal selling could be made legal by such 8 private endorsement of the people who voted the other way.
 The Rutland News justly inquiries:
 Why, was it that only 7s men openly voted yes last March while 90 men consented yes secretly after ward?
 -Ts that the way to live up to the local option law?
 "In the old state prohibition days we used to hear about this man and that man in this and that town sell ing little liquor on the sly with the knowledge and tacit consent of the better element of the community. And we used to denounce it as fraud and hypocrisy.
 1E this old habit so fixed in our Vermont character that we cannot be honest with ourselves under a law that offers the premium to civic hon. esty and says to every community in the state that it can have either 1i- cense or prohibition, whichever it's To- cal public sentiment demands?
 Must we always mask our real ap- petite for rum under. the smirking pretence of a pious clove?
 Must we always vote no and drink yes 2''

An Opera Bao.

The opera bag may be shaped to fit the glasses or it may be of ample size, but an ordinary square shaped bag with slightly rounded corners.
 The material should be invariably somewhat rich, or at least silken; not linen or otherwise suggestive of sew ing or alarming.
 For the elderly lady who inclines toward gray or the delicate. .colors there is an ideal little bag of gray Irish pop lin embroidered with lavender rococo ribbon, otherwise known as ribbon em- broidery. The little flowers are the heliotrope blossom and the spray is en- rfched by silver leaves of the daintiest size and an occasional steel bead.

chiId's Coat.

A smart little coat for child from four to six years of age seen recently was of smooth face cloth in a delight full shade of gray blue on a smoke tone.
 The material hung full and loose from the shoulders and the coat dis played long broad revers braided with cloth.

 At this point three rows of shirring ran around the coat, not meeting in front. but left plain, to suggest a panel
 The shirring created a full short skirt similar to the French dress. Full sleeves ended in braided cuffs.

THE DEsERTIoN OF THE FARM

There is no doubt that life condi- tons have changed very much in this republic during the past fifty years, and that these changed conditions are the cause of the higher cost of living. Every combination that decreases the purchasing power of the dollar in creases the price of manufactured goods or farm products; and every thing which dinninishes the supply while the demand is constantly in creasing is also adding to the cost of living.
 A western authority presents the fol- lowing facts for present consideration:
 ''When our nation became 8 republic over 90 per cent. of the population titled the soil. In 1861 barely 63 per cent followed the same occupation. In 1900 the percentage had fallen below 45 and at the present time it has less than 40. This means that 40 per cent. of the population is trying to do for the nation of today what 90 per cent. did 125 years ago
 was 6s.O00.00o barrels and in 1908 23,0o0.00 barrels. This decrease of 46, 6,000 600 barrels in twenty years is not q trifling matter. Add to this item the great decrease in the production of naple sugar.
 "one of the main hindrances to the reforestration of the country, accord ing to Clifford Pinchot. is the fact that the farmers cannot afford to plant trees on their land when they can get -such good prices for grains and grain fattened beef and pork. The farmer is letting little land go to timber growth with wheat at $1 a bushel and corn above 50 cents most of the time.''

Wearinq the Sweater.

As usual, there is a right way and a wrong way.
 Sweaters are being so much worn now that it is worth while to know the right way.
 When putting on sweater for the first time one should be particularly cerefu1 about the sleeves that they are drawn well onto the arm, otherwise they will drag the shoulders out of shape. It is best to pull the sleeves farther up than they are intended to go and allow them to work down.
 The sleeves properly arranged, but ton the sweater in front and get some body to pull the outer edges of the shoulders up and out for you, allowing them then to settle down over the figure.
 Pull it well forward at each side of the bust and then quite straight around the hips.
 If this performance is gone through with the first few times the garment is worn it will keep it's shape much better, and last in good condition much longer than if it is put on carelessly.

faith which have been particularly at. tackled by heretics
 These preliminaries having been duly observed, the solemn intoning of the mass was begun, the consecrator and blshop-elect simultaneously betokening their faith. During the ceremony, the plain chant was intoned by the seminar ians. At the conclusion of the conse- cration ceremony prayer, the new bish. ops were invested with the crosier and ring necessary to the episcopal order, accompanied with prayers and admoni, tions.
 The mass then proceeded with the consecrator and new bishop celebrating 1t in unison at the same altar. Then came the partaking of communion, which was followed by the investiture of the mitre and gloves previously blessed by the consecrator with much pomp. While the Te Deum was intoned the new bishop was enthroned in the episcopal seat. Later he was led be. tween the two assistant bishops around the church, blessing the congregation as he passed along.
 The final act of the function was the bestowal of the kiss of peace by the consecrator. The sermon during the conservation was delivered by Bishop O'Gorman, of Sioux Falls, s. D. After the ceremony, the archbishop, the

 RUMORS OF ASSETS
Money Returning to East ern Banks and Easier Tone
 in Consequence

NEW YORK, May 19.-The profes- sional element in the stock market de- fined it as "sold out" today, meaning that practically no stocks were offered for sale. The buying was meager to the point of stagnation, but bids were said to be advanced, nevertheless, to secure stock. Dealings fell to a lower level even than yesterday.
 Heading was more conspicuous and the operations in that stock were as. cribed to speculative party lately active in Wabash and Rock Island. Claims were circulated of large conceal ed assets in the Reading treasury in the form of equities in securities held which are said to be under-valued in the company's balance sheet.
 More confidence was felt in the sue. cess of sale of bonds abroad. Positive announcement of the placing of $10,- O0O,000 of Cleveland, Cincinnati Chi eago & St. Louis debentures in France cOnduced to this feeling.
 At the same time the rate for call loans ran off to below 8 per cent, all though the almost total lack of demand for stocks left this showing without much significance. The banks are gain. ing cash, both from the subtreasury and on the interior movements. The retention of the Bank of England s of ficial discount rate was in accordance accordance with expectations. The fact that gold continues to go out from Lon don to various destinations makes it likely that the Bank of England will maintain it's control of the money mar ket rather strictly.
 The postponement of the Chesapeake X Ohio dividend meeting and re- bound in foreign exchange rates were instrumental in. the rather heavy clos ing tone of the market.
