Farman's Prayers.
His prayers are short but strong
and that is undoubtedly what the SEN
ate will need.
This is from an editorial on the can
didacy of Rev. NJ. W. Farman of West
field, for the chaplaincy of the senate,
which appeared in recent issue OF

There never is a better time of the
year for automobile touring through
Vermont than now. The roads. after

are packed down hard and free of
dust; the atmosphere is clear, max

could the automobiles wish than

on the roads during the September
and October months than during the
hot. sultry and rainy months of June,
( July and August, when many Of the in
conveniences of travel are to be encoun
tered. They are missing one Of the
/ greatest delights of automobiling -
