INFLUENCE ON VERMONT.

The Concord, n. H., Monitor remarks:
The influence of the new director of
the New Haven may avail Vermont q
good deal in future railroad history.
Theodore N. Vail, the director referred
to by the contemporary, is rather loyal
to the state of his adoption and particu-
larly to the region about Lyndonville.
1t ought to be expected of him that he
will strive to advance the states inter
ests if possible. To the people of the
state, this interest could be best shown
by inducing the system, of which he is
now director, to open up lines in re-
gions which are ripe for his railroad and
which have been neglected by other rail-
road interests. For instance, if the rail
road should dig into the asbestos re-
gion in Lamoille county it would be a
good thing for Vermont's industrial
growth. There are other splendid OPP
portunities.

SEND ON MORE scHNEIDERs.

A German immigrant, named Schneid-
er, has just come to these hospitable
shores, bringing with him a wife and
thirteen children. That isn't especial
ly noteworthy; but the fact that the
family threw out $4,000 to be changed
into American legal tender is remark
able. Such an accumulation Of wealth
reveals a thriftiness which is good to
read about. Moreover, the Schneiders,
father, mother and their thirteen, are GO
ing into North Dakota, where elbow
room is more plenty than in New York
ity; and they are going to buy farm
and settle down to the same pursuit
which they followed in the old country.
Give us more Schneiders. Send them
along They are the kind OF people
worth encouraging. The United States
can accommodate great many of their
kind.

Perhaps no one will thank you for the
efforts that you make
To spare the feelings Of a friend or
foe;
When you listen to story just for
old acquaintance sake
And laugh at anecdote OF long ago.
Your great forbearance toward the man
who slaps you on the back
And wrings your hand until It's limp
and lame
Its due appreciation on this earth may
sadly lack,
But the angels will record it just the
same.
Be patient, friend, and do not smitc the
person at the play
Whose ryhthmie feet keep tapping on
your chair,
Nor threaten him who huns the tunes
the orchestra may play
Or TO his friend relates the plot with
care.
It's true, your little sacrifices made
from day to day
Scant notice from the busy world viii
claim.
They may be dismissed as trifes, as the
crowd moves on its way,
But the angels viii record them just
the same.

That something for nothing" sign
which Secretary OF State Guy W. Bailey
has thrown out above the new publicity
movement for Vermont ought to work
like magic during the next few weeks,
for there is nothing which appeals to
the average person more than the plan
of getting something honestly without
being compelled to pay for it. The Sec
rotary of states office is likely to be
overrm with applications from hotels,
boardinghouses, farmers and others who
have property to rent or to sell, in order
that the states benefcence can be tax

Railroad history is being repeated in
Rhode Island, where a situation some
what similar to the Brattleboro trouble
has arisen, with the same parties CON
cerned, only turned about, There the
New Haven system is blocking the ap.
proach of the Grand Trunk to the coast
as much as the Grand Trunk. through
the Central Vermont, is blocking the
New Ravens plans at Brattleboro
Strangely enough the Grand Trunk is
also threatening to leave the state just
as the Boston & Maine is threatening
to cut out Brattleboro and build on the
New Hampshire side of the Connecticut
river. However, the Grand Trunk Off
cials state that they would be salts
fed with an unobstructed way over
either their own rails or the New Hav-
ems rails under joint operation. The
latter is the same proposition which
they have offered to the Boston s Maine

More Marked In Mongrels Than In

More Marked In Mongrels Than In
Dogs With Pedisrees.
I generally find, writes a well known
English scientist, that mongrel dogs
when they happen to be sociable have
keen sense OF humor. An aristocratic
dog with a pedigree may have some
Inherited smartness, but has no origi-
nality A common yellow dog with no
ancestry TO speak Of, who has to gain
his living by his wits, could give him
cards and spades at his own tricks in
Two lessons.
Once | took into the house out OF
pity a mongrel yellow dog who insist
ed on installing himself at my door
step and always came back, no matter
how often he was chased away. had
at that time a pedisreed water spaniel,
and | tried to teach him some tricks
when took him out along quiet road
at times. The yellow dog, who made
friends with him, always came along
and beat the water spaniel at his own
tricks without training. Then he be-
gan TO play tricks Of his own on the
spaniel When he had bone he look
ed out for his comrade, and when he
saw him looping along he would lay
the bone In his path and disappear.
The spaniel always made for the bone,
but the yellow dog, just as he was
about to grab It, would dart from his
hiding place and, setting 1t, run off
with IT. This happened over and over
again, but the high bred spaniel never
tumbled to the joke-New York World.

MAKING the cormorants Work.

The cormorants are among the most
and useful birds in the
world. They are employed in the
fishing industry off the coast Of Scot
land to large extent. They are cas-
lily trained to work for their owners,
who place a brass ring round each
of their threats so as to prevent the
birds swallowing They naturally feed
upon fish and soon learn to deposit
what they catch In their owners boats.
They display remarkable cleverness In
time, and good fisher is worth good
deal of money to fisherman.

The building of skyscraper buildings
in New York City is getting ridiculous.
Another indication of the foolishness is
the proposal to erect 55-story build
ing at Broadway and Park place. If
the building goes up, T. w. Woolworth,
the owner, will probably get the adver-
tising which he seeks.

1t is interesting to Barre taxpayers to
be told that the tendency in at least two
Vermont cities has been toward an in
creased tax rate; they are Montpelier
and Rutland. In the latter city the rate
has just been jumped from Sl.60 to $3.50,
and the new rate will raise about 1885,
900 for the expenses OF the coming year.

To Young Lady on Her Birthda,

To a Young Lady on Her Blrthda,
The marching years go by,
And brush your garments hem,
The bandits by and by
Will bid you 60 with them.
Trust not that caravan!
Old vagabonds are they;
They'll rob you if they can,
And make believe it's play.
Make the old robbers give
OF all the spoils they bear,
Their truth, to help you live,
Their Joy, to keep you fair.
Ask not for gauds nor gold
Nor fame that falsely rings;
The foolish world grows old
Caring for all these things
Make all your sweet demands
For happiness alone,
And the years will fill your hands
With treasures rarely known.

and the gown is always charming and
effective. There is the disadvantage that,
the fabric being SO sheer a satin or silk
slip must be worn. and the gown in
some strange, inde5rribablo manner does
not seem as smart as the embroidered mus
lin, But, be it understood, the emOroid-
cred net or chiffon gown can be made to
be more elaborate in effect than the
muslin unless the latter is OF the most
elaborate design and far more costly. 1t
is said that machine embroidery can be
used with more advantage on net than
on muslin, and il certainly takes most
trained experience to detect the machine
from the hand work on net.
Handsome Embroidered Gowns.
There is not any great variety in the
styles Of the embroidered gowns; whether
the material be muslin or linen the skirts
are all made with straight lines, not too
scant If intended for afternoon, they
sometimes are made with short train,
although the round short skirt is still pop
uIar; the waist is loose, but always care
fully fitted, with much attention paid to
the shoulder line and the sleeves. The
short, elbow length, medium size sleeve
is the smartest, and no lace or embroidery
Is thought too handsome for the sleeve.
Gowns with entre-deux and nounces OF
lace are most attractive, and Valenciennes,

Lemon is not a resident of Kansas
The action was brought against Mr..
Lemon by Lowe, Shannon and We'll,

the case was taken to the federal
courts interest in it was lost by the
prosecution. 1t has been called at
every session of the court since the
transfer was made, but at no time has
the plaintiff been present
Charges were made against several
officials at the prison a few years ago.
Deputy Warden Lemon was among
those to be accused. An investigation
was made and the charges were found
to be ground1eSs. Shortly after this
Mr.. Lemon was sent to Washington
with an insane prisoner.
Before Mr.. Lemon got to Washing
ton a telegram from that city sent by
Attorney General Wickersham an

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 17.-Not many
women would have the courage to
make home happy for a husband and
q former husband at the same time.
But that is what Mrs. W. A. Wilson,
who formerly was Mrs. A. w. Luce, is
trying to do now at her home at 1856
North st. Francis avenue. The tongue
of gossip that old dame who is always
looking for the people who have cour-
age to try to do right, regardless of
wagging at a great rate for the last
week and at last Mrs. Wilson has de-
cided to tell something of her story for
publication.
Wife Tells Her Own Story.
When Mrs. Anna Luce was a young
girl. so young that she knew practi
cally nothing of life. she married A.
w. Luce. He was many years older
than his wife and has since reproached
himself for persuading her that the
difference in ages would be Of no mo-
ment. Everything went well with the
Luce met w. A. Wilson, a young man
of about her own age. The two fell
in love.
Then comes the part Of the story in
which Mr. Luce will figure as a hero
or an easy mark" according to the
found that he could not make his wife
happy he offered to let her get a di-
vorce so that she could marry young
Wilson. She finally agreed. Mean
while Wilson had gone to Los Angeles,
Cal, so when the divorce was granted
last June, Mrs. Luce went out there
to marry him.
Married in California.
Her travelling expenses to the coast
were paid by her former husband and
she carried with her a sum of money as
a wedding gift from him. He is veal

married at the court house in Los An
geles to Wilson. According to the state
laws of California this was a legal
marriage. However, it was not legal
under the Kansas laws, which provide
that divorced person must not marry
inside of six months. At the time of
the wedding all three parties concern
ed thought it was perfectly legal.
After Mrs. Wilson had been in Cali
fornia for a few months she grew
homesick. Finally she couldn't bear it
any longer to think that her former
husband. who had been so kind to her,
might be needing her to take care of
him as old age crept on. So she wrote
to Mr.. Luce and he went to Los An
geles. The three then made q home
in the western city, until the first of
this month. when Mrs. Wilson declared
that she wanted to live in Kansas.
Came Back to Wichita.
So they came back to Wichita to
live in the bungalow which Mr.. Luce
owns. To legalize the marriage, they
went Wednesday to Newton and were
remarked at the court house. Mr.. Luce
says that the younger couple seem like
children to him and that he wants to
have them with him while he lives
and see them happy. Mrs. Wilson said
