They were taking a ride the other
afternoon. She was one of those poe
tical ones, and moreover she appeared
to have reached the point where she
was ready for his declarations of in
tentions-if he had any intentions. He
wore his hat low over his forehead
and looked like a young man who
would keep right on sitting on her
front steps evenings summer after

able to ride out and sit on the shore

"Uh, huh, it is that" says he, as
he got his suburban transfer slips

She was silent for a moment and
then she caught glimpse of a couple
of odd-looking birds fiuttering toward
the tree near the car line.
"My!" she murmured, coyly, "one
couldn't blame the little birds for go

this, could one?"
"Nope, if that's what they're dom"
he replied, as he felt of the cigars in
his vest pocket to see if they'd been
broken in the crush Of boarding the
car.
Again she was silent while think

a nickel a month before anybody

small children got on the car, smil-

We can understand the feeling of the
Barre Times and the Brattleboro Reform
er that T. ~ Vail is not such a dyed-in-
the.wool Vernonter as others who might
suitably be chosen to represent our state
at the Republican national convention,
but We cannot butte picture ourselves in
d condition of uneasiness at the thought
OF what Mr. Vail might do or leave un-
done were he chosen as one of the dele
gates II certainly cannot be a draw
back that the Vermont delegation to a
convention which Is national in its char
acter should include n man whose horl-
IONS have not been and are not always
limited to the White mountains on the
east and the Adirondacks on the west.
With equal certainty and especially at
this time, when the attitude OF the ma
tional government towards business is
one Of the uppermost thoughts in the
minds of the people, 1t can be no draw
back to have in the delegation from each
state men of affairs and of business ex-
perience Fer these reasons, especially
the last, there would be fitness in Mr..
Wallis selection. Whether it be the
choosing Of delegates to q political con-
vention or the nominating of candidates
for Office, from president Of the United
States down, lawyers. editors, college
professors and socologists are not now
at a premium.
For like considerations we beg to sug.
gest the names OF Mr.. Fletcher and Mr..
DeBoer. With such thorough going
Vermonter as Senator Page to head the
delegation there need be no fear that
Vermont will not,be represented, even If
Mr., Vail be Of the number. It would be
a business delegation. Nominating ma
tional ticket may not be the only i'm
portant transaction at the convention

TAKING TOO MANY CHANCES.

During President Taft's stay in Chi
cage on Sunday, he was placed in an
automobile, and the automobile was
driven at high speed about the city,
sometimes as high as forty miles an
hour and at lesser rates through more
crowded sections Of the city. 1t is said
that in instances the streets were so
closely crowded with vehicles that the
presidents car had trouble in getting
through. All of this may have served
ns a Sunday morning braeer for the
president, but those in charge of the
presidents visit were not careful enough
pf the chief executives safety, trusting
too much in the reliability of the vehicle
IN which he was riding. If there had
been an aecident--wel, that would be
Rnother story. Besides, the Chicago peo-
pie ought to have been proud enough of
their city to permit him more than a

What a comfort to the nation

A football fatality is recorded out in
Helena, Montana; but it is rarely this
season that we read of such occurrences.
Those that are recorded, together with
the serious injuries, generally come from
obscure teams which have not the proper
medical supervision before entering a
contest. In these days of insistence that
players on the varsity teams be able to
show normal physical condition before
they are allowed to participate in hard
fought contests, the casualties of college
football are diminishing considerably.
And, too, thus far there has been little,
or no, popular hue and cry against the
game.
