Keen in Harmony

No man will long live below MS
own standard. a man may thinN
that be is safe because he holds TO a
proper standard, notwithstanding
the fact that he is not living up %
it; but it is a delusion. No man
can be permanently at war WIN
himself, unless, indeed, it be war
to extinguish from his nature wha''
ever of evil he may have within nm
To hold a standard being true ana
yet consent to live below this stan
dard is an attempt at stultlhcatlon'
mental or moral. The result must
be that either the standard will be
lowered or the conduct will be ele'
waited; the mind and morals must
get together. No man will 1--we
permanently under the fire OF his
own concience-- is another way OF
saying the same thing. But to let
loose good concience is to make
shipwreck of the faith, is to lower
the conduct to a ruinous level. The
meaning of which is simply this: If
you are out of harmony with your
own standard, you must, on the
peril of your own soul, immediate
ly begin the effort to rise to that
standard -Ex.

view of the fact that he could not
tell lie, nobody would dare invite
him to a sociable little game of
draw or think of embarking with
him on a bouse Of even the most
harmless sort. Then, again, how
many thousand times he must have
been held up as a shining light to
errlng everyday husbands. That
in itself would seem to be enough
to turn every man in the town
against him. He must have picked
his steps in fear and trembling, with
the eyes of the whole community
watching for the first sign of a re-
cession from grace. The married
man must have attended his funer.
al with well-dissembled grief and a
sigh of relief.
The question that pre- eminently
calls for an answer, however, is:
For how much of the mans per-
fection was he really entitled to
credit and how much was vicarlous?
When one considers that his wife
never spoke a cross word to him
and never told him a tib 1t Is appar.
ent that there is some room for
speculation-for doubt, even. One
wonders whether he would have
got to heaven with a bogey score
had he not been blessed with an ex-
traordinary wife. Courier Journal.

The Perfect Man

There died recently in a Missouri
town man who, if common report
and his own assertion may be re-
lied on, was about as near perfec-
tion as man born Of woman can at
tain in this world. This man made
the proud boast that he had never
told a lie or spoken cross word
to his wife. lie capped the asser-
tion by accrediting his wife with
qualities equal TO his own.
On first thought one hardly knows
where to place this amazing char,
acter. He lived in Missouri and
when one remembers the predilec-
tion of that people for being shown,
coupled with the fact that his neigh
bors certified to the truth of his
boast, it Is apparent that he made
out a strong case before departing
this life at the age of 5S,
The news dispatches are silent,
however, concerning some things
an outsider would like to know,
He must have been awfully lone,
some. Every man in town going
to work cheered and refreshed by
the daily morning spat with his
wife must have stunned HIM as a
breathing reproach. Certainly, in

BARGAIN SALES NOW ON.
Rare Opportunity Given the Peo-

The readers of the Register will do
well to look through the advertising
columns of this issue and note the ex-
treme low prices that have been put on
first-class goods. Never before has the
Register been able to give its readers such
opportunities. Remember these are not
shop-worn or carried over from one sea-
son to another but all this years goods
that must be replaced by the fall and
winter stock which is about to arrive.
Men, women and children can be fitted
out from head to foot for little money by
taking advantage of the sales now going
on in this town. The past week has
been busy one in Middeburys stores
all due to the large number of people of
Addison county and Brandon who have
come TO Middlebury to avail themselves
of these bargains. Again we ask our
readers to carefully look over the ad-
vertsements in this issue and thus profit
by them.

STATE FAIR NEWS.
Many mprovements Being Made
on Grounds at White River
Junction.

White River Junction, Aug. 16.--These
are busy days on the State fair ground
and when the Fifth Annual Fair opens
on Tuesday, Sept. 10 regular patrons will
note the many Improvements. A much
desired building is the new structure for
the display of dairy products. This build
ing is fast nearing completion and will
be ready for exhibitors long before the
opening date of the Fair.
The extension of the tracks of the
State Fair Railway across the highway
and into the grounds, and the laying the
side track to accommodate the cars which
bring in the stock exhibits, will be a
great improvement. The new trackage
will permit of storing the cars on the
grounds during the days of the fair, in
stead of sending them back to the juno
ton, as has been necessary in the past
Shippers will now be sure of the same
cars in shipping out.
Much work has been done to the
trotting track and it is now in fast condi
ton.
Even this early orders are coming in
to Secretary Davis for boxes in the grand
stand and everything points to an unus-
ually large attendance.
A big feature will be the daily flight
of Curtis bi plane. The Aviator will no
doubt be Lincoln Beachey. The contract
made with the Curtis company calls for
three flights daily and this number is
guaranteed by the company under all
kinds of weather conditions. Beachey is
the aviator who has been making SO
many Sc sensational flights of late.
A big Vaudeville Bill will be provided
and there is sure to be Midway of
mammoth proportions.
The railroads have planned many
special trains and low rates will continue
during all the days of the Fair.

Bank Robbery Prevented.

After watching him all day as sus-
pected character Chief of Police John
DuIkee Friday night arrested men in
the act of entering the rear door of the
Capitol Savings Bank and Trust Co.
on State street. The man threw up his
hands when Chief Durkee fired in his
direction but made a spring and hand
to-hand fight followed in which the chief
proved the conqueror. The man was
lodged in Jail but as he feigns ignor-
ance of English it is impossible to learn
anything about him. He had revolver,
jimmy and skeleton keys. He is
thought to have been making an entrance
for others who were to blow the safe, as
he had no tools for entering a vault.
