As the Montpelier Argus views the
situation, DeBoer's strength is growing.
The contemporary describes its view as
follows:
'The movement in favor of the candi-
dadcy Of Joseph A. DeBoer, which is
gaining Roadway in every section of the
state, has assumed proportions which
have already attracted much attention
and proved disturbing to the candidate
who claims to have the position nailed
down. The men behind this movement
are well known and esteemed for their
efforts in behalf of progress in the
Green Mountain state, and the candi-
dates for whom they are working are

The virtual closing Of the criminal
docket in Washington county court calls
to attention the uniform success which
has rewarded the efforts Of the county's
prosecuting officer, States Attorney J..
Ward Carver. The official has conducted
the prosecution with considerable dis
patch and with indications of having
been prepared to present all the evil
dence that was to be obtained, with
results which show in the numerous con
victions secured at the present term of
county court.

Scales to Be Manipulated.

A jury in Burlington refused to con-
vict a man Of violation Of the correct
weight law in using scales that had been
condemned by state Inspector 1t
seems the scales were condemned because
they might be manipulated to give in
correct weight and the man was aequit-
ted by the jury because they could be
operated to give correct weights. Now
the question to be weighed is which ver-
dict will the most accurately balance
the scales of justice.-St. Johnsbury Cal

BARRE A READING COMMUNITY

Barre may well take pleasure in the
statistics of libraries in Vermont, as
prepared BY the state library corlmis-
sion, as the figures show that although
being exceeded in the number Of VOL
umes by several other communities Barre
stands at the head of all in circulation,
having $4,000 per year, or several thou
sand more than the circulation of the
public library in Burlington, she next in
the order. However, it must be borne
in mind that in Burlington there is one
other library, that Of the university OF
Vermont, which is used by the several
hundreds Of students, with occasional
use BY the citizens outside of the uni
versity.

Bedtime for Children.

Sunset should be the time for every child under eight years of age When the chickens go to roost and twilight begins to deepen the country baby's head begins to droop and he is ready for his cot. The more nervous town baby, who has nothing for an ex- ample except the sun. and who. at any rate. on rainy days ,s used to twilight atmosphere at midday. seldom wishes to go to bed with the chickens.
 If he lives in an apartment he must hear drifting down the hall the tantali- zing voices of his elders at dinner, and the smell of savory things from the kitchen greets his nostrils. But hard as it must seem the city mother must have even more rigid rules about bed time than the country mother. Her child Is at a greater disadvantage In the first place in not living where he can breathe the purest air in the midst of healing country sights and sounds The distractions Of city life are so numerous and so varied that city bred children need more repose than chill dren in smaller towns of the country. Between and G. 30 clock they should be undressed and put to bed.

Auburn-Haired Young Man Didn't

He was such straight, manly fel- low-with a military bearing and a soldiery tread. He had auburn hair, and he blushed easily, and, above aiI, he was keenly alive to the rights of his fellow beings and anxious to do the right thing by them. But he and his friend were hurrying from the local to catch the subway express. and they would have caught 1t, but
 He's got my watchi' woman screamed.
 The manly fellow strode on, con scious of virtue.
 Hold on, hold on." said the auburn haired mans friend, clutchng his arm, you're carrying off a ladys watch" and he untwisted the watch and chain, which had wound itself around his coat button.
 The woman was still angry when she overlook them, and scarcely con. yinced that the blushing man was not old at the game. but she got away in time to board the express.
 The auburn-haired man and his friend missed it.

The Short-Lixed Pin.

By series of experiments conduct ed on his estate a French investigator has discovered that pins go the way of all flesh and are resolved into dust. Hairpins, which the experimenter watched for 154 days, disappear at the end of that time, having been resolved into ferrous oxide. brownish rust, which was blown away by the wind. Bright pins took nearly IS months to disappear; polished steel needles near ly two years and half; brass pins had but little endurance; steel pens at the end of 15 months had nearly gone, while their wooden holders were still intact. Pencils. with which he also experimented. suffered little by exposure; the lead was unharmed. and the cedar almost as good as new. Human Life.

FRIENDS PLENTY IN YOUTH
But Love and Trust, Often Betrayed, Are Not So Easy for One Who
 Has Reached Manhood.

In youth our friends are many. Each child, thank God, is born into the world with one friend ready made, complete and perfect; his own moth CT. For the mother there may be re- grets and insights, doubts and hesi- tations, but at any rate there is never lack of understanding. for she, of all, knows the very stuff of which we are made-our strength and our weak ness, our endurance and our failures. This, at least, is one of the heartening facts of life--that the child need never forego some friendships It makes slight claims. It asks only some one to share it's activities and it's inter- ests; it's love of sliding and of skat- ing. hayraking and padding. Provid- ed another revel in the same things as we do, behold Here for childhood is friend ready madei And for mo- ment the solitude of the pilgrims soul dpon its long way is disguised.
 Youth, too. forms ties lightly from out the very exuberance of it's liy- ing It loves as readily as it breathes: 1t idealizes and finds it difficult to recognize any bleak fact in human na- ture If the friends seem for the mo- ment to fail. youth has an unexnaust- ed fund of hope that remembers this one as the only failure, or remembers that back of the failure lies all the material of future success.
 But manhood is more difficult. Love and trust, often betrayed, are not easy for one full grown and far along the path of life. That friendship is best which is old and which, like wine. has stood the test of time Friendships born in obscurity and misfortune are harder and more lasting than those born in ease. Like human characters they grow strong on the very ob- stacles that test them; they are firm CT, more strongly welded. as they over. come and still endure-Harper' Weekly.

The Spider Cure.

The request for nut to put a spi- der in to cure a baby's whooping cough which has just startled Som- erset (Eng.) shopkeeper recalls the spider "cures" of the past. There was. and indeed Is, for instance that Irish belief in the web as remedy for cuts, warts and bruises and that superstition of the eastern counties which credited it with power to cure levers. The weaver of the web, too. was looked upon as doctor of medi- cine.
 A note from an ancient Notes and Queries gives the illustration: "One of my parishioners suffering from ague," wrote Somerset vicar, twas advised to catch a large spider and shut him up in a box. As he pines away the disease is supposed to wear itself out" A similar belief prevailed in the south of Ireland, but there treacle had to be substituted for the box as coffin for the ague healer

 And so 1t Is" cried young Hancher enthusiastically. And if Papa Sur man can see a possibility in me he must not be disappointed.
 The next morning Hancher senior, received this surprising message:
 Have married the girl who came to your assistance yesterday. We are waiting at Elders hotel for you to congratulate us, Tom"

WAS LAW UNTO HIS PATIENTS
Paris Doctor Won Strange Bets Through Their Obedience to His
 Extraordinary Prescriptions.

One of the most successful physi- clans. at least in his hold on his pa tents. was David Gruby, who died in Paris in 1898 He was a Hungarian by birth, but had lived many years in the French capital.
 His methods of treatment, while entirely logical in principle, were often highly original not to say fan tastie. in the form they took. yet it vas to them in a great measure that he owed his remarkable vogue among the most intelligent classes of Paris
 His influence over his patients was such. says writer in the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. that he was able as the result of wager to in duce some of the best known Pari sfans to walk up and down the Ave nue des Champs Elysees during a whole forenoon.
 In accordance with his prescription each of these patients-lawyers en- gineers, writers, dramatists, gentle men of leisure-was to swallow a prune every ten meters while walking along the avenue and this was car ried out to the letter and with the ut most seriousness, to the amazement of the fellow practitioners whom Grnby had invited to witness this singular therapeutic procedure.
 One of his most distinguished pa tients. Alexandre Dumas. was said to have obtained great benefit from green apple which he was instructed to eat every day under the Arc-de- Triomphe de l'Etoile after a walk of a given length
