Ethel Barrymore's mother was a
capital comedienne and woman of
much wit and humor, a quality
not lacking in her distinguished
daughter. In an engagement in San
Francisco she was asked to take
part in a special performance. She
wired her manager in New York for
permission, His reply was sNo."
Her answer to this was equally
brief. sl
1t was ~Ohp'
This was more laconic than Arte-
mus Wards reply to the San Fran
cisco manager, Thomas Mcguire,
who telegraphed Ward:>
"What will you take for forty
nights in California;"

frequency of instructive debates in
these latter days.

BRIGHT Money In streaks.

A man who gives to his wife all
The bright dimes and quarters and
halves he gets says that bright mon
ey seems to run in streaks. Some
times he gets a lot of bright coins
for days and weeks in succession
and then he may go month and
get not one. He doesn't undertake
to account for this, but he notes
that in the last month he has gath
cred in next to none. This has left
him for that time with a little more
money for himself than previously.

Know Your Vermont - and Wish
Her Well

One of the things which to do much to pro-
mote good fellowship friendship and sympathy is that
agreeable feeling which goes with what is called recog
milton. Let us try to explain: If you away from
home in a strange town, and by chance meet there
someone you are acquainted with from your native
place. you find that you almost always get pleasure in
the meeting. You recognize him. and at the time
your mind quickly brings up to pleasant memories
of your home place. you glad and you hasten to
call the person friend,-even though when at home
you would consider him or her almost stranger
To illustrate again> you make acquaintance
you him once and then again, and then again You
find you have friends in common that you have read
the books that you like the songs that you
enjoy the kind of recreation Almost before you
know it you have sympathetic and kindly interest in
this new friend you like to see him you want to do
something for him you become attached to him.
chiefly because you recognize him readily, and also
because, when you do him and recognize him. your
memory brings to you at interesting and pleasant
thoughts connected with him.
If, now, the children in a State and especially in
State beautiful and full of wholesome human life
as Vermont is, are all taught something about that
tiers did for it what industries and it's
what are its accomplishments and what its present
needs who have been it's wisest and best men what
the next generation do for it what poets, histo
rans and storyteers have said and sung of II what
the institutions its people support in and
thousand other things about its hills its streams it's
rocks it's and flowers and birds f the children
these things they will almost surely have for their
State pleasure in thinking of her and wish to do
something for her.
The moral is
Teach Vermont to Vermont children.

But We do not agree that any

enough Of enthusiasm for Taft
but We think that that there is
no question but he is by far the
strongest candidate the repaBli-
can party can put forth. A re
dictionary candidate that would
suit the News would be over
whelmingly defeated. A pro
gressive candidate such as the
Herald would like to see elected
would probably lose out as bad.
Taft is tie only logical candidate
even if he is doomed to defeat.
The whole trouble in the party
has arisen over the tariff and
reciprocity, especially recipro-
city. And on this latter matter
TAFT is absolutely right and the
selfish interests that prefer to be
wrong even If they defeat tie
party are che ones who are be
hind the impending defeat. If
the republicans wish to win IN
