BENNINGTON, VT, DEC. 9, 1911

The matter with Vermont is due
to no other condition SO much as to
the degeneration of its small towns.
We may talk about the mountain rule
the town representation system and
a score of other faults, but their in
riiuence is comparatively trivial. What
is needed to put Vermont where it
belongs is systematic endeavor to
restore those towns that for genera
tons have seen their most promising
sons and daughters leave for fields
of wider opportunity This cannot
be brought about in a minute, but bet
ter schools, better roads, increased
transportation facilities, easier means
of REORGANIZATION, and a better
knowledge OF modern agricultural
methods-all of these things will
help.-Brattleboro Reformer.
1t applies not only to the small
towns but to communities, groups
and families in the large towns.
There are traces of it in Brattleboro
and also in Bennington, but in the
larger towns, contact with the active
and aggressive gradually wipes out
the evil 1t is in the rural towns
where it does most damage and is
the hardest to eradicate

TIPS IN PARIS THEATERs.

Own Play Acted.
When Peter Pan" was first played
in Paris. writes Charles Frohman in
the Strand Magazine. ! induced ]. NJ.
Barrie TO see his play acted before the
French. When Mr.. Barrie entered his
box be was obliged, in accordance
with the custom Of the country, to
yield franc as a tip to the female
usher and another franc tip to the fe-
male who gave him a program.
Mr.. Barrie's' extreme shyness is in
direct ratio to his fame. He disliked
sitting in the box during the whole
performance, choosing rather to go
out at every available opportunity
and hide himself in some obscure
corner OF the building. But each time
he re-entered his box he was greeted
as stranger by the omnipresent fe
male usher and program lady. The
one was just as determined to show
Mr.. Barrie to his box again as the
other was that he should not enter 1t
without program. Ana II maze
just as little difference to the one
that the author knew where his box
was as it did to the other that he
did not need the program. Hence for
each exit and entrance Of his box Mr.
Barrie paid dearly in francs,
In fairness to the managers Of the
Paris theaters it ought to be said that
they would like exceedingly TO do
away with this nuisance. but they
are powerless in the face of the ira
ditionally imposed governmental con.

supply Of the widows Of veterans,
though France has not had a war
since the seventies.

PROSPEROUS INDIANS.
The Navajos Said to Be the Finest Sill
versmiths In America.

! ne NdVaJos oalu 10 DC tnc Tl0est OH
Versmiths In America.
The Navajos are today by long odds
the most prosperous Indians in Amerl-
ca. Their vast reserves offer ample
pasturage for their sheep and ponies,
and, though their flocks are a scrub
lot. yielding little more than 80 to 20
cents head in wool on the average,
still 1t costs nothing to keep sheep and
goats. Both furnish supply Of meat.
The hides fetch ready money, says
the Travel Magazine. So do the wool
and thes blankets. And the NavaJos
are the finest silversmiths In America.
Formerly they obtained their supply
Of raw silver bullion from the Span
iards, but today they melt and ham
mer down United States currency into
butterfly brooches and snake bracelets
and leather belts with the fifty cent
coins changed into flower blossoms,
with o turquoise center. Ten cent
pieces and quarters are transformed
into necklaces Of silver beads or but
tons for shirts and moccasins.
If you buy these things In the big
western cities they are as costly as
Chinese or Hindu silver, but on the
reserve there is very simple way
Of computing the value. First take
the value Of the coin from which the
silver ornament is made. Add a dol
lar for the silversmith's labor and
also add whatever the value Of the
turquoise happens to be and you have
the price for which true Navajo silver
work can be bought out on the reserve.

Some people talk by the pound

difference between their wor DIS and

If we want to spoil life for our
selves and be a source of misery to
Others we need only to be selfish.
Think only of ourselves and of what
people think of us and all JOY and
peace goes out of our life
In Il great measure the CONNER
cial standing of a town is reckOned
according to the number and value
of its business enterprises; its moral
standing, according to the number
and power Off institutions, exert
ing good influence as opposed to
those exerting bad. These things
being true, it should be the intent
of the citizens of a place to encour-
age such new enterprises as tend in
any way to make the place better;
for a town is greatly what the cit
izens make it, nothing more and
nothing less.
This is a practical demonstra-
tion of the say ne that every man
ought to have his name printed on
his envelopes, said the post master
pointing to three or four letters held
for postage. Any man is likely to
put letter in the post-office with
out stamping it. With card on
the corner of the envelope, we can
stamp it and collect the postage
when the writer comes in. We don't
know who dropped those letters in
to the box and must hold them un-
til we write to the persons address
ed and they send us the postage,
That is the rule of the post-ofhce de-
partment.
Every growing ambitious town
is composed of three elements
Those who work patriotically, Wig
orously and intelligently for its adj
vaucemcnt; those who are in a state
of apathy or indifference, and those
who take curious delight in dis.
couraging the effort of Others by
a persistent denial that any pro-
gtess can or has been accomplished
and by boasts Of every other town
besides their own. The last class
are called croakers, but they are
really something worse, for their
opposition does not arise simply
from despondency but from that un'
enviable spirit that will neither act
itself or suffer Others to act.
