piece of corn bread In the house to give
him. They begged him to stay with
them, try for position and help them.
To this he consented, and they were
happy.
That night after he had gone to bed
one of his sisters took his clothes and
sat up late patching and darning them
that he might appear the better In
looking for employment. After the
sewing she took them downstairs into
the kitchen, heated an iron and pressed
them. While running the iron over the
coat its nose hit an obstacle In me.
She felt of me, took me to the light to
examine the place where l was: then,
taking a knife, she ripped the sewing
and took me out. Seeing nothing but a
brownish stone, she threw me into a
coal scuttle, but on second thoughts
took me up again and put me on a
table. Then. fishing her ironing, she
took the clothes to her brothers room.
The next morning she showed me TO

DIFFERENT IDEAS OF NEWS VALUE

DIFFERENT IDEAS OF NEWS VALUE
1t is interesting to note the editors
judgment of news value in the case of
the birth of an heir to the Vanderbilt
fortunes, or considerable part of those
fortunes. One paper, and a most infu-
entail journal, presents nearly column
announcement of the event, places the
story on the front page and sets u
scare" head over it; and another Jour
raj, equally as prominent, dismisses the
STORY with the bare announcement in
few lines, puts the smallest possible
heading over the story and tucks it
away in an obscure part of the pape,.
As a matter of fact, the latter reveals
the most accurate judgment of the value
of the news to the general public, basing
that judgment on the opinion outside
the immediate vicinity of the money CEN
ter in New York.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-09-24

Some idea of the magnitude of the
summer hotel proposition in New Hamp-
shire is gained through the report that
the two hotels, the Mount Washington
and the Mount Pleasant, with $4,000
acres of land, are on the market for
81 100000 if the Boston & Maine railroad
wants them. 0ne-quarter of that
amount spent in summer hotels through
out Vermont would be a large amount /;
and we dare say the dividends on such
a proposition would be far larger per-
centage than that secured from the mag
nificent hotels in the White mountains.

Williams. Chairman of Republican State
Committee;
Dear Mr.. Williams:
1T gives me great pleasure to enclose
"a full report of the treasurer of the
Democratic state committee of all sums
expended, and for what use 50 expend-
ed The newspapers contain the names
of all contributors down to a certain
date. In behalf of the Democratic state
committee, and of the voters of this
state, | respectfully ask you to give to
the people like statement OF names
of contributors, amounts, and the uses
for which money was expended by you
and the other members of the state
committee
Perhaps you will say it is nobody's
business how you expended your money.
or how much you expended during the
campaign just ended, or the uses to
which it was applied; but will not the
public have the right to infer, that if
all the uses were perfectly legitimate
you would be willing to furnish the in
formation which many states for years
have by law demanded? | am sir,
Truly yours, Elisha May"
Since that time we have heard moth
ing from him. and we cannot expect
reply. The public is interested in this
matter, and We earnestly ask the local
newspapers to furnish the public with
this information.
Very Truly yours,

LIBERAL ATTITUDES OF RAIL
ROADS.

The pulling and hauling which Yer.
mont cities and towns have to &c
through in order to get decent railroad
facilities. chiefly passenger stations, is
in marked contrast to the conditions to
be noted on other railroad lines. For
instance, it is now proposed to erect a
half. million-dollar passenger station in
the comparatively small city of Pitts
field, Massachusetts,, the main exterior
material to be marble and the interior
to be arranged with all the convenences

of the modern passenger station, the
whole making a splendid addition to the
city. After reading of this plan, YER
mont people are apt to wonder if the
railroad lines showing such liberality are
not the gamers in the increased good will
of the general public and decreased
tendency to criticize the acts of the cor
porations.

These continued reports of possible cal
shortage, which come out of the West
do not carry such uneasiness as they
might. On the contrary, they are rather
welcome as indicative of improving bust
ness conditions; and we only hope that
they are not spread broadcast for tn,
effect they may make on business, poll
