America and China.

"America and China are now ound
together" writes Frederick Mccormick
in an article on Chow America Got
Into Manchuria," in the February
Century, first, by common recognition
of the necessity to China of Independence,
integrity of territory and jurisdiction,
and freedom of development and trade,
to the promotion of which America is
committed; and, second, 10y reason of
common rewards and rebuffs sustained
in promoting China's policy and Amer
ica's diplomacy. Together with the in
vasion of the Hu-kuang loan, the inn
perial sanction to the Kin-chau-Aigun
contract completes Americas entry into
the Chinese empire. 1t supplies the de-
sired basis. and displays the unprece-
dented opportunity achieved for Ameri-
can commerce and trade and for Amer
lean influence in eastern Asia within the
short period of two years"

Aged vermonter Claims Bride
After 40 Years

A dispatch to the Boston Journal
from San Bernardino, CAL, says;
Mrs. Lucy Augusta Devine became the
bride of Ira Russell in this city last
night, and the romance of two score
years was eliminated.
In the early days the pair were sweet
hearts in New England, but were sep
arated, the girl coming West and mar =
rying, Russell remaining in the East.
The two were joined here by the Rev.
Mark B. Shaw, Russell, aged 80 years,
coming from his home in Montgomery ,
VT, to claim his bride, who is 50.

Future Railroad improvements at
Stake.

If Legislature can take the title to
land and stations from one railroad and
pass them over to another railroad, how
many railroads will be tempted to make
any considerable expenditure upon i'm
provements in Vermont at junction
points or on parallel lines? If any rail-
road is inclined to make promises along
this line, let it show that it has kept it's
word to lawmakers outside of YER
mont before accepting oral pledges at
face value.
K So far as Burlington is concerned, we
want our two railroad lines kept indie
pendent and competitive; we want
them to feel secure enough about the
future of their property so they will
know the money they invest in a new
station will continue to be theirs. - Bur-
lington Free Press.

Copyright, by j. Il. Lippincott Coz
Miss Jeanette Dalrymple was ex'
pecting guests for the evening, so,
having put her tiny apartment in
order, she proceeded to mix and bake
a most delectable chocolate cake.
They were rich people, these friends
who were coming, and self-support-
ing Jean could not entertain them as
they entertained her. Not being af-
flicted with false pride, however, she
did not allow herself to be disturbed
by this fact, but served her simple
refreshments with daintiness and
taste
On this afternoon, having finished
her cake, Jean set it on top of the
box the janitor had nailed outside
her kitchen window to hold her store
of supplies, which device saved buy
ing ice during the winter months.
Several hours later, when she had
arranged the table and dressed, Jean
lighted the gas in the kitchen and
went to the window to take in her
cake.
But no cake met her gaze. 1t was
gone-vanished into thin air, appar-
emily Jean looked up at the sky,
then down into the stone-paved court
below She was still at loss to ac-
count for the mysterious disappear

on the window of the opposite apart

It was very close to her window;
an arm could easily reach across the
distance. Could any one have
jeans cheeks flushed at the suspicion,
but what else was there to think?
At all events, the cake was gone
and there was not time to make an
other. Bewildered and disappointed,
Jean was about to close the window
when her fingers came in contact
with two hard, round something's that
elinked when she touched them
She took the money to the light.
The new, shining half-dollars had been
left in payment for the cake But
what trick to play! Jean frowned
at the money in her hand, then
laughed and brought philosophy to
bear upon the incident.
But the money-what to do with
