Decidedly True

The man in business looking for a clerk
Or office assistant does not give mo-
ment's consideration to the youth who
is most frequently seen sucking a cigar
cite or with his face partially hidden be-
hind a big pipe of the bulldog variety.
The boys who are wanted in positions
which give promise of careers are those
who are neat in appearance, 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 recommen-
dations when boys are picked out for po-
sitions in stores and offices-BrattIeboro

Great HonOcs Won BY florist

The following from the Milford, Mass,
Journal will be read with interest by
many in this vicinity, Mr.. Howard hav-
ing relatives and friends in Morristown
and Hyde Park
A Milford florist, William D. Howard
of South Main street, won an honor at
I he National Flower show at Mechanics
Hall, Boston, that will bring him tame
and fortune.
The honor is nothing short of the first
prize for a "sport" pink carnation, Gre
ated by himself and grown at his green
houses in Milford. Two other first prizes
for dark red and white carnations, were
won by Mr.. Howard, but these are on
varieties that are the product of other
discoveries.
By his capture of the first honor, Mr..
Howard wins the right. of course. to be
stow a name upon his flower, and will do
this at once, though he has not vet def
nitely decided what the name shall be.
Because the new flower is of the same
shade as has been selected by England's
queen as the official coronation color,
Mr.. Howard may name his creation the
Coronation" pink, or it is possible that

Mrs. Taft
The new flower is extremely beautiful
and is sure to be much in demand, thus
bringing large returns to itscreator who
alone has the right to sell the cuts for its
production, and in that way is certain of
large returns for his triumph over the
horticulturists of the country.

tended 1t is pronounced the most mag
nifcent sight ever presented in Mechanics
Hall, nearly all of the florists of note all
over this country and many from across
the water competing for the prizes.
1t will take nearly two years for Mr..
Howard to get his flower on the market,
as sufficient number of the plants must
be grown to supply the demand, while as
yet he has but a few.
Mr.. Howard has been in the business
16 years and during that time has been
quite successful, his plant at the present
time being quite extensive. Boston is his
principal market, although much of his
product is sold in Milford and vicinity,
and many orders are shipped to points
in Maine.
With his gardener, Samuel Gaskill, Mr..
Howard attended the show, and was
overjoyed at the decision of the judges,
which means so much to him. He said
that the new flower is the result of over
two years of constant effort and expert
ment.
A large bouquet of the new flower was
on exhibition in Miss Annie Lawless'
window.

After ALL, It's Vermont

Gov. Mead addressed a meeting Of 300
grangers at Rutland last Saturday night
and among other things spoke about the
assertion of certain metropolitan news
papers that Vermont is in a state of de.
generacy. He realized, he said, that the
last census showed a marked decrease in
the population of the state, but declared
that this fact does not imply that YER
mont is in state of degeneracy. He en-
phatically said that in deciding questions
of this sort, numbers are not at all con-
sidered, but rather the moral and educa-
tional qualities. These, he pointed out,
formed the criterion on which people
are to be judged He felt sure that the
authors of these attacks must have lost
sight of what has been accomplished bv
Vermonters, both in military circles and
in other respects. To make this clear he
spoke of Vermont representation on the
battlefield during the Civil War, saving
that the state, in proportion to size,
sent more men to the front than did any
other, and that the Vermont soldiers led
in many of the most important conflicts,
also that they sustained the greatest
losses. Bringing his hearers to more re.
cent events, the governor alluded to the
sinking of the Spanish fleet in Manila
Bay by Admiral Dewey, and to the
splendid strategy of Admiral Clark in
safely steaming his battleship, the ore
gon, around the Horn and thus reaching
the American fleet in time to be of ma
terial assistance to them during the fight
at San Diego.
He mentioned the names of several
educators and physicians, all born Yer
monters. who are now at the heads of
their respective professions, and 10
conclusion alluded to the natural re-
sources of the state and said:-
81 do not blush at what has been ac-
complished by Vermonters. 1t only re-
mains for us to do as much good for
those who succeed us as have been done
for u.s."
