(" Nominate the Old Board. "

1t is not always advisable to
nominate the old board as time
saving device to shorten the election
programs of annual village and town
meetings. 1t is bad habit, but The
Age suggests to the collected wis
dom at the next village meeting,
January l, 1912, that they re-elect
the present board of trustees.
The members of the board are

go ahead with this most important
enterprise. Their New Years gift

The Usual Lament.

The customary semi-annual lament
arises, over the divorce evil as il
exists in Windsor county and as, it ia
shown up by the number of cases on
the docket of the Windsor county
court.
The Windsor Journal admits that
conditions may he just as bad in
other counties of Vermont and in
other states of the union, but it
warns up and says that the ever
increasing number 43 at the pres
ent term of court F" is disgrace to
the county and is fast poisoning the
minds of many, who, we're not divorce
easy, would continue to solve their
domestic problems without the inter
vention of public tribunal"
Forty-three marital shipwrecks is
a good many for one court calendar,
every one will agree the situation
would appeal to any well regulated
newspaper, but the Journal assumes
to find an easy solution of the
problem: I'm all probability it
comes nine times out of ten over the
fact that there is not money enough
produced by a man to keep up the
appearance that his wife and chill
dren want. We say this according to
an old spelling book adage. :Pride,
poverty and fashion cannot live in
the same house"
Easily said, but the Journal pointe
to only one of a great many contrib
utory causes to mated unhappiness.
which are again directly the effect of
the easy marriage laws of this coun-
try which deserve all the wrath that
divorce courts now receive.
They seem to conduct things better
over in England, as suggested by a
discussion of our marriage laws in a
current periodical The red tape, or
"rigmarole of British law appears
to be severe check to hasty and un-
happy marriages, for in one year in
which $4,000 divorces were granted
in this country. in England the num-
Der was only 995 Allowing for the
larger population of this country, the
proportion is still about Is to 70.
But this is free country, and the
divorce evil is one more problem for
the reformers.

The Letters OF Horace
Praise for Recent Publication
of the Elm Tree Press.

The Boston Transcript reviews
approximately as follows "The
Letters of Horace Presented to
Modern Readers, edited-by Charles
Looms Dana and John Cotton
Dana, and printed by the Elm Tree
Press, Woodstock
The editors OF this volume believe
that Horace's letters are not inter
est,ng as generally presented in
English. Even the best OF the
poetic Transitions do not make
good poetry noi tell the story salts
factorily. They have no prose trans
lations which make the letters easy
or attractive reading. They therefore
attempt to interest the modern public
them. Not through translation
adorned by especial elegance OF
language, but to give the facts
regarding the personality of the
people to whom the writings are
addressed, to tell the time and the
occasion Of the writing, to supply
the local, historical, and mythology
cal references, to keep the thread OF
the story and to show the connection
OF the reasoning - these things have
been their aim. Here are presented
only portion of the letters = those
generally esteemed the best and
most representative.
An introduction describes the
Sabine Farm, and the condition of
Rome at the time the letters were
written. The letters given are fif-
teen in number, twelve of which are
from the first, and three from the
second book. Those from the first
book include two to Maecenas, the
curious letter to the steward Of his
farm, and the letter to his cook.
The editors have the courage of
their convictions about nioderniza-
ton, and do not hesitate to say that
Phillip liked to divert himself lin
any old way" and that he presents
Mena with "$2so." or course, the
latter seems strange only because we
are used to seeing money in the
Latin authors translated into English
pounds and pence.
A word must be said about the
beautiful formal Of the book. Paper
and press work are excellent, and
the binding is tastefully done in
cloth with a paper label. 1t is
deliberately illustrated with nine re-
productions of copper-plate engrava
ings originally made BY Otto VENUS
about 1900. There are also eight
half-tones from photographs of the
region OF the Sabine Farm taken ex-
Pressly for this book. Lovers of
Horace and lovers of good book
making will delight in the volume.

What Christmas Presents Shall
Make :?

This depends much upon the per-
sons to whom you make them, but
in mote cases than you probably
imagine, no present could be made
which would contribute more to the
welfare of the recipient than a
deposit book in the Hyde Park
Savings Bank.
The Bank never declines deposit
because it is small. ANY sum from a
single cent to a million dollars will
be received and q per cent. interest
allowed, compounded semi-annually.
Remember the Bank pays all
taxes and if the donor wishes to
qualify the deposit by saying it must
not be drawn until some specified
dav, as for instance when the recipi-
ent is I8 or IL years of age, it is
entirely proper to make the deposit
IN thisway.
Let the pass-book be accompanied
by nice letter from the donor to
the recipient urging thrift and sug-
costing that this little nest egg be
added 10 from time to time as the
recipient has a few coppers that he
or she can save.
We do not need to tell you about
the strength and solidity of the Hyde
Park Savings Bank, but if you would
like any facts connected with the
Bank, write the President, Carroll
s. Page, or the Treasurer, F. NJ.
Culver, and you will receive a
prompt reply.

In the case of Max Levy, by his

ing Co., in which a verdict was
directed for the defendant, it appears
that the boy, who is about ID years
old, was employed as errand hoy,
etc, by the company. At one time
when the Office was short of help he
was put to work on q job press, with
which he was unfamiliar While
feeding the press his hand was
caught and his injuries made nee
essary the amputation of a finger.
1t was argued that the boy wasn't
employed as a pressman, that he was
mex experienced and did not realize the
denger of his work, but the court
decided that the boy knew or ought
to have known the result of putting
his hand III the press. The boy said
he knew it would squeeze some. but
didn't think it would tear his hand
to pieces.
