aswords and Hearts"

The story centers around the son OF a
southern planter and two women. One
of them a cold, naughty and calculate
ing Young woman OF aristocratic birth;
the other "eracker" girl, daughter OF
a mountain berrv-pieker. At the out
break of the Civil war, Hugh Frazier
son Of the planter, is engaged TO Irene
Lambert, the proud beauty, who values
him only for his social standing and
prospective inheritance. From q dis
tance, Jennie Baker, the berry-picker's
daughter. has learned to love the dash
ing young soldier, who was never too
proud to notice her when sometimes she
came to his home to sell berries. On
the day that he left for the war, young
Frazier, in his impulsiye, debonaire way
leaned over in his saddle and stole q
kiss from Jennie Baker. He forgot the
kiss in the next few minutes, but the
sweetness of his compliment fingered
forever on her lips.
Once during the war Hugh Frazier
stole home. to visit his sweetheart,
Irene. On this occasion the berry girl
was the means of saving him from cap
ture by using his horse and overcoat
as a deeoy She seemed to come as a
good angel sent to watch over a brave
heart; for by this time things had
changed and his old home lay within
the Union lines. He escaped this dan
ger, thinking, perhaps, that Irene had
been his guardian angel That night
the bushwhaellers, led by Jennie Bakers
rough father, attacked and burned the
home of the man she loved. The faith
full old negro servant, divining such an
attack, had buried the family treasure
and the marauders evidently burned the
house out of disappointment. The at
tack and retreat Of the bushwhackers,
together with the burning Of the man
sion. is one of the most thrilling and
realistic scenes ever seen in moving pic
lures It's at Dreamland.

THE PRESENT GLIppEN TOUR

From Winston-S Salem, N. c., comes
word from the Glidden automobile tour
lists who are making southwark trip
this year, instead of passing through
Vermont and other New England states,
as originally planned. The report said
that the cars of the tour were spread
over three counties of North Carolina
and Virginia and adds

road between Virginia settlements and
this city. There are eighteen cars parked
opposite the Hotel Zinzendorf in this city
which got here at 9 o'clock, after II
days ride that for features couldn t
well be beat"
Vermont couldn't have furnished the
Gliddenites anything like that; IN fact,
ii would have been difficult, or .lpos.
sible, perhaps, for the tourists to have
found such wretched road conditions any
where in New England, All of which
causes one to wonder what the Glidden
tour managers gained by changing their
plans for a New England run to mud
plunge southwark to Jacksonville. If
they were booking for conditions which
would try out The durability Of their
machines and test also their eapablity
as mudscows, then they most certainly
were successful in their quest through
Virginia and North Carolina If, on the
other hand, they sought reasonable road
conditions, combined with splendid seen
cry as an added attraction, they were
unfortunate in abandoning the trip
through New England, for New England
furnishes both those two prime features
of satisfactory automobile trip.

In connection with the population re-
turns of Canada, the Boston Evening
Herald makes this assertion:
"The wonder still grows that the
100000 cannot see the advantages
which would be theirs in having such a
wide market as the United States for
their goods; but the probabilities are
that the truth of the matter will come
home to them in time, even if too late"
The fact that Canada would have an
additional market of ten times its own
size was not used in the argument
against reciprocity in the recent cleo
ton; the main point argued was that
the United States, in the event of reei-
procity, would swallow up little Canada
by annexation, willy-nilly Possibly the
Canadians will see their mistake, as the
contemporary states.

That $l5,0O0,000 water power project
which is being promoted by Brattleboro
linen is so gigantic as to cause immediate
skepticism as to its consummation, yet
the details are such that the scheme
seems practicable. After all has been
said for and against the project, it re-
mains that some day the water priv
leges included in the scheme win be util
lied, whether done singly or collectively,
Therefore, it is not out of the question
that they should be utilized collectively,

vALuELEss RESOLUTIONS.

1t is rather significant that woman's
auxiliary to the Universalist general CON
vention at Springfield, Mass, should
have passed, almost without debate, a
resolution favoring suffrage for women
in the forenoon session and that, after
dinner, they should have recalled that
action by vote of 200 to 90 after con-
siderable discussion. The situation goes
to show that resolutions of this sort
before organizations that have no direct
relation to the case at hand can be
passed as easily as turning over ones
hand, oftentimes because the delegates
do not stop to indulge in serious think
ing on the subject matter of the resolu-
tion, but are carried away by early en-
thusiasm or lulled by indifference. In
this particular instance, part of the mo-
tive for resembling the resolution was
the belief that woman's suffrage was not
within the province Of the organization,

Among recent discoveries Of note is
the discovery by the Carnegie Hero
Fund commission of two Vermont heroes
Doubtless there are Others who are
doing heroic work, unheralded and never
to be heralded, because the nature OF
their sacrifice will never be known to
the world; yet they, too, might well be
called heroes even though not decorated
with medal. At the same time, the
two men thus signally honored by the
Carnegie commission are to be congratu-
lated on their bravery and presence Of
mind.
