Deer and Sheep.
The time is near at hand when
sheen will be considered as valuable
AZ a deer. If the game wardens were
one half as active in protecting the
farmers flock of sheep as they, are
the wild deer their official acts would
have some merit. The time will
come when their official acts Will LIP, pc
headed toward the sheep. Public
sentiment will demand it, Waterbury |

Attention, Boys!
The man in business looking for a
clerk or office assistant does not give a
moments consideration to the youth
who is most frequently seen sucking q
cigarette or with his face partially
hidden behind big pipe of the bull
dog variety. The boys who are want
ed in positions that give promise OF
careers are those who are neat in ap.
pearance, clean and courteous in talk
and actions. The fresh and sassy"
youth who brags of his capacity to
absorb beer will wonder one. of these
DAYS WHY it is so difficult for him to
get decent job. Business men form
their own estimates of the boys who
are going to and from school daily and
these estimates outweigh all other
recomme ndations when boys are
pick ed out for positions in stores and
off ces.-Brattleboro Phoenix.
RAILROAD Dreams"
If there is anything in the report
that the St. Johnsbury & Lake Cham
plain Railway is to be extended from
Maquam to Alburg, along the lines Of
the old survey thus connecting this
road with the Rutland, now controlled
by the same parties it will be the
best news that we have heard for this
section in many months. 1t will
mean that this road will be improved
and form a part of a through line
from the great lakes, New York,
Canada, ETC., to Portland and Boston.
1t was good day, we believe when
the Boston & Maine system passed in
l to the hands of Mr.. Mellen. All we
need, if this proves true, to give this
whole section Of the state the great
est boom it ever had, is the building
D of the cross state railroad from North
e Troy, via Lowell, Eden, Morrisville
through to Ratland. We believe both
