What Did the Claim Agent Do?

Up in Minnesota Mr.. Olsen had a
COW killed by railroad train. In due
season the claim agent for the rail-
ro ad called.
1--WE understand, Of course, that the
deceased was very docile and valua-
bic animal, ''said the claim agent in
his most persuasive claim agently
manner, land we symphathize with
you and your family in your loss.
But, Mr.. Olsen, you must remember
this: Your cow had no business
upon our tracks. Those tracks are
our private property and when she
invaded them, she became a trespass-
er. Technically speaking, you, as her
owner, became a trespasser also.
But we have no desire to carry the
issue into court and possibly give you
trouble. Now then, what would you
regard as a fair settlement between

How the Tariff Affects the Clothing O
the Poor Man.

Ida M. Tarbell, writing in the Octo-
Der American Magazine on the tariff-a
subject in which she is a recognized
autnority-says in speaking of the way
in which the wool schedule affects the
poor man:
''The manager of a leading New
York selling house told representa-
tive of this magazine last spring that
he paid the manufacturers in Amer
lea As cents for the serge he bought
in Holland for twenty six and one half
cents. The serge costing 81 cents
here he gets there for IL, and he de-
clares that in each case the Holland
goods are vastly better in quality. 1T
is notorious that the cost of all cloth
ing has steadily advanced under con-
ditions made possible by the tariff,
this gentleman said, while the quality
has been steadily debased. See how
it works out. Today there are num-
berless places where man can buy
ready made suits at from eighteen to
thirty dollars. The cloth in these
suits is the same which used to he
offered in the cheapest places at eight
to ten dollars a suit. A very few
days wear will reveal what these suits
are made of. That is why so many
of the young clerks who have paid
enough money for a good suit of
clothes look threadbare, and walk
around with their collars turned up.

Ely Trans of Spiders, Nests.

Spiders nests are used in Mexico as
fly traps. During the rainy season the
villages are invaded by. numbers of
flies and other insects. To rid house
of these pests the natives hang the
branch of a tree bearing spiders nest
TO nail in the ceiling. The surface
Of the nest enlarges concentrically
after each capture of an insect. and it
exercises an irresistible attraction on
flies. When spiders nest is opened
it is found to be filled with insects.
Experiments made with paper nests
so manufactured as to be exact copies
of the real nests show that flies will
not enter them. Though very small
and apparently insignificant, the in
habitant of the mosquero attacks in
sects far more important in size than
the largest housefiy. The wasp is one
of it's favorite victims, and the wasp
always gets the worst Of the struggle.

GUARDING OUR CITIZENSHIP.

Much has been said and written in
this age about the guardianship OF
youth from the pitfalls of the mod
ern swift moving life. A great re-
form has undoubtedly been accom-
plished in some few cities by the en-
forcement of the curfew law and the
more general enforcement of the COM
pulsory school attendance law, but
another progressive step might we'll
be taken. Exercise q proper public
guardianship over the youth of homes
where parental inf Ience is lax. The
home is the one place above all others
where citizenship is fostered. where
high ideals are form "a. in fact it is
the foundation stone of future ma
tioaal str1;tlre-y either strong and
pure or weak and crumbling. Conse-
uuently it is the duty OF good govern
ment to insist on the integrity of the
homo as a protection for itself.
In some states a good work is being
done by officials appointed to inves-
tigate cases Of parental cruelty, neg
Iect and misguidance and it is neces
sary to remove children found under
such circumstances to state institU-
tions placed entirely under state
control. We are in need of more such
supervision in Vermont. We send
unruly boys and girls to the state in,
dustrial school at Vergennes and at
tempt, and with good results, to re-
form them. This is a great and &
good Institution and undoubtedly
greater numbers of youth could be
sent there to the advantage of the
youth himself and the state, but il
might be unjust to many children who
need influence and a government bet
ter than that they receive at home tC
send them to an institution where
the stigma of attendance there goes
with them through life as detriment
There is need of an Institution fol-
children compulsorily taken from
homes where the parents are bad, anC
the child needs other and better In
fluences, and not because the child j!
bad and needs reforming.
There are homes where anything
but honor and high ideals are taught
homes where criminality breeds pre-
fusely, and children remain there tt
grow up into life of shame to them
selves and the state, when this might
have been spared the disgrace haC
not influences in their tender years
perverted their minds.
Would it not be far better 10 use
"an ounce Of prevention, in guarding
our homes and have less need for ga
pound of cure" later?

Talk Up Vermont

In direct and refreshing contrast to

Following from the influential Boston
Transcript:
Vermont is a very fertile, we'll
kept, well-looking state, whose 0rdi-
nary aspect seems to the traveller to
indicate high degree of present pros
perity and a promise of more to
come"
Vermont is all right. AS the News
has often said, one of its greatest
needs is more advertising OF its many
the state need the enthusiastic en-
dorsement Of its residents, who, though
patriotic enough on any special occa-
sion, are inclined to excuse it's weak
| points to strangers and every Sec
tion of the country has its weak points
rather than eXtol it's emany advan-
tages.
In the newer country no visitor finds
out from it's inhabitants the disadvan-
tages of the territory through which
he passes. In southern California no
resident tells the stranger of the long,
dry, monotonous summers in the great
west no settler complains to the tenn.
porary sojourner of ruinous vino
storms, the loss of crops and cattle
and outrageous costs of transporting
products to available markets. The
visitor hears only of the glorous eli
mate the big crops and other goot
features.
The fertile farms, the desirable eli
mate as a whole both summer AM
winter, the scenic beauty and a hun
dred other unexcelled advantage
makes Vermont the peer of any othe
spot in the whole country, to insur
health, comfort, and moderate re
: ward for industry.
Of course there are many thing
, Vermont needs to make it still NOR
} desirable. But the needs are not a
| great as in many other states. Vel
! mont is on the way to those things
slowly, perhaps, but surely gettin
> there.
n If every citizen will talk up Vel
r mont to the world at large, as oppol
e tunity offers, and by the way Gov
Prouty has set a splendid exampl
: along this line, we shall surely gal
the desired end much more rapidly.
The platform in the recent republ
