1t ought not to have been necessary
for Chairman Redmond of the public
service commission to warn railroad men
to live up to the rules of railroading, as
he did at the hearing in Montpelier yes
terday, but the case they were engaged
on was such as to reveal the nedssity
for his words Of warning. A railroad
employee had admitted that he did not
obey simple regulation relating to
tagging trains, having gone back dis
lance of only dozen telegraph poles,
when he should have gone back three
times that number. Therefore, Chair
man Redmond's words were none too
strong

appreciated very much by the granite
manufacturers of Barre and vicinity.
Doubtless, too, they have shown their
appreciation by liberal patronage Of the
special trains. Indeed, Barre men are
prompt to meet, halfway, the public
service corporations which show spirit
of energy and desire to merit added pat
ronage. Some corporations, other than
railroads, might put themselves in the
position to merit the same appreeiative
response.

Reports from the state grange meeting
in Montpelier show that the organization
has been making progress in Vermont
during the past year, having added many
subordinate oranges. The advancement
of the grange reveals as much as any
thing else the virility of the old state,
for decadent state is not engaged in
progressive thought along agricultural
lines, or in any other lines. Therefore,
the progress of the grange is pleasing
to all.

All the display of the durbar at India
was perhaps designed to properly impress
upon the Indians the splendid supremacy
Of their rulers; but to most other people
it amounts to gaudy show gathered
about a simple ceremony. In fact, all
regal ostentation savors of the same
characteristic when viewed by the ordl-
nary person possessed of the freedom of
independent and controlling citizenship.
There are Indications too, that the peo-
pie Of India are seeing through the thin
disguise.

mo-,

One cold night in the winter of 1902,
while my father was in town about
three miles away knock was heard at
the door. My mother said Come in. /"
Then in came little man of a dark
complexion. His nose was fat, his
eyes constantly moving in their orbits
so as to be able to see everything in the
room. He possessed pair of ears that
seemed to be big enough to make 1T
hard for him to walk with the wind
blowing against them. He had on his
round head an old plug hat, which by
being pressed down against his ears
helped to give them their strange ap-
pearance. A long green coat reached
way to his knees and was held together
in front by a huge safety pin, Its
sleeves hung down to the nails of his
fingers which were blue from cold.
Below this coat came to view his
trousers which hung in many folds
about his shaking legs, for they were
much too long for him. A pair of old
overshoes with many holes worn in
them completed the forlorn appearance
of this tramp; for tramp he must be
felt sure at my first look at him.
ymother asked him, Are you cold?'
To this he replied, NO"
Cant you find work." she inquired
after a pause.
No" was his answer.
Where did you start out from" de-
manded she.
"Bloome," said he.
My mother wanted to know more
about him and asked further, Are you
married?"
NO" was his reply.
Have you walked far to.dayS" said
she, determined not to give up.
NO" was all he answered.
Have you had any supperT she
asked.
NO." he replied again.
He then got something to eat and
went away without even thanking her
for the meal.
We children called him mo" because
that was all we could get him to say.

days trial the jury returned verdict
of mot guilty"
The jurymen were L. G. Heath, M.
B. Wonsmus, Ed Milliman, J. p. Han
sen, C. A. Root, Warren Rummelhart,

A Suggestion.

At various entertainments given in
the high school assembly room some
tendencies have been noted that probably
have never appeared to our young peo-
pie as they have to the older members
of the audiences. Many of our boys,
thinking that older people may come in
later to occupy the seats, crowd to the
rear of the room and stand there during
the entertainments, talking frequently
during the exercises in such way that
those about them are disturbed. There
are usually vacant seats and always
plenty of chairs that can be used when
the seats are filled, and it is-hoped that
in the future our young people will
occupy these seats, and then If the
crowd demands they can move to the
rear of the room. We are confident,
too, that on reflection they will take
the same view.

In The English Department.
A Tramp.

One Monday morning in the spring,
when all of the older folks in the house
were trying to get the little children
ready for school A knock was heard
at the door, 1t was tramp who asked
for something to eat.
He was tall and slender and looked to
be about thirty years old. His face was
very red and he had long black hair.
His shapeless old SLOUGH hat had large
hole in one side.
His brown coat was all torn and
buttonless and his pants came to the
top of his shoes. They had split on the
knee and were patched with piece of
checked goods. The shoes that he wore
were SO long they turned up at the toes.
and the string in one was broken and
the other had rag in it.
