alone with her. BY putting on his

to ask her II he mightn't have Just one
kiss,
"A kiss" said she, "You ask me for

great friendship, but upon the lips Il

very tender subject. "You NAV since
you wish IT, kiss me- You NAV ex-
press yourself in Just one kiss. Pro-

Bob got redder in the face than the

Ought to Change Rules.

/ 1t is suggested that this legislature
I would perform an important service FOL
/ the state If before adjournment, il es.
4 tablished commission to revise the
rules OF the House and Senate This has
not been done for some time and while
any action taken would not be binding
on future legislatures, il is the usual
custom to adopt the rules of the previ-
GUS session with but few changes. A
commission. composed of such members
as Clerk Plumley and Secretary SkeelC
and others, who have long experience in
legislative work, could undoubtedly
frame set of rules which would do
much to expedite the work Of the egis-
lature.
One change that would help to do this
is the adjustment Of the committee on
the revision of bills. This committee
was originated with the idea that it
would hasten the work OF the legislature,
but il is pointed ont that It does not as
the proper place for the revision of the
bills is not before they have been intro
duced, but after they have been acted
upon BY both houses and before they
are sent to the governor. II this were
done, all the amendments would be con.
tanned in the bills and could be expressed
in proper and grammatical language, and
errors that are not possible 70 be detect
ed under the present method corrected.
This is the way bills are revised in the
legislatures OF Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut. Now the revision committee
spends much time and energy redrafting
a great many OF the bills that come to
It and putting than in presentable shape.
These bills in the main are of minor inn
portance and If allowed to 60 before the
House or Senate in their original crudity
would be promptly killed and put out
of the way. AS il is, they are so doc
tored up by the revision committee that
in many cases they receive more consid-
Grafton than they are entitled to. There
are other changes that could be made,
so that it would be easy for the legis.
lature under ordinary conditions to fin
ish its werk by Christmas.
Bills still keep coming in from COM
mittees and from members by unani-
nous consent, and yesterday the revi-
sion committee had is measures in its
hands for consideration.

Value Of Regulation.

The greatest need in nearly all
branches Of the stone trade to-day is
regulation of prices. Practical demon.
STATIONS Of what this does for all parties
concerned can be seen in the case Of
manufacturers OF some of the speciality
GRANTEES, where in each locality, tbs
price is the same to all Corners. Both
the producer and the customer are max
ing money out Of the business, because
the retailer or contractor knows where
he is when giving his estimate to a
customer, and the producer is able 70
secure "a living profit The retailer
knows how much he has to pay and
he knows that his competitor must fig
ure on the same basis An institution
similar TO the Barre Granite Manufac-
turers' exchange Of former days, prop
ely regulated, strengthened, and inn
proved, is not only much needed, but
the time is fast approaching when it
will be realized that it is an absolute
necessity in nearly every branch Of the
stone trade. When this system of regu-
lation is realized every man in the stone
business will get rich, but care must be
taken in regard to conforming with the
law.-American Stone Trade

December. This is not SO high as DIR,
Bowler would like to see, but it is
large considering the limited facilities
that the old gymnasium affords. In ad-

statistics there are many men who take
regular exercise in the gymnasium who

This number viii be largely increased

they were selling power at the rate Of
one cent and a half a kilowatt hour
Mr.. Cory remarked that they were re-

Mr.. Hartman replied that they were

Teachers Pension Bill Passed House.
Perhaps the most important work Of
the House yesterday afternoon was u
pass the bill to pension teachers, and
that, too, just after the bill had been
killed. The bill provides that the pen.
sions be raised by towns or incorporated
school districts. The bill was revived in
this way, Mr.. Bundy Of Sutton moving
the reconsideration OF the vote killing
the bills Mr. Cory of Montpelier made
"a strong plea for the measures; Mr..
Ives of Mount Holly thought the bill
discriminating and insisting that old
maids and hired girls should also be
pensioned and taken care of. Mr.. Stafford
of Brattleboro considered it progressive
legislation, in which there was much
merit, and was also in line with what
other live states had done. Mr.. Peck Of
Burlington favored the bill and Mr..
Holden of Clarendon moved the previous
question and the House voted to recon-
slider
On the main question, Mr.. Rowland of
Poultney thought that the teachers
should be taken care of by the payment
of better wages during their period Of
service; he didn't think there was any
great demand for this legislation Mr..
Boyce Of Waterbury urged the passage
of the bill as fair and just measure
Mr. Bailey Of Randolph favored the bin
and Mr.. Battell Of Middlebury moved the
previous question. The bin was then
passed by a large majority
In Il, comgittee Of the whole, the
House had an extended debate on the
bin providing for an appropriation Of
$4,000 for a school for the care and
education Of defective children at Brat
tleboro There was objection to recon-
mending the passage Of the bill, and the
committee Of the whole asked leave to
sit again.
