Barss Advised to Slow Down.

There is some opinion current in the
state that Supt. Barss of the Vergennes
industrial school is overriding his act Of
advertising Nermont's backyard. Tech
ncally his official duty does not entail
upon him such work as Ben Butler did
for the Massachusetts state aims house
and perhaps little slowing down on
his part would not injure the cause that
may become an obsassion with him more

Spring Poem.

Sweet, gentle spring is here again.
We welcome her with JOY,
For winters pleasures, though intense
In time begin to cloy.
We hail the advent Of the birds,
The passing Of the snow;
Old Winters been here long enough,
We're glad to see him 60.
0, spring is here! The earth awakes
From Its long winters sleepi
What though in consequence the mud
Is seven inches deepl
What though the wind is raw? 1t makes
No difference to me.
For spring is here, and so om hearts
Are all ehock full Of glee.
The furnace fire is needed vet
To keep us snug and warm;
Your winter oyereoat must still
lncase your manly fern,
It may be several weeks before
You hear robin sing
But sound the timbrel, twang the Tyre,
For, 90, joy. Its spring

BEFoGGING THE ISSUE SURELY.


Gov Osborn has hoped off the colo
nel's boom, though he was one OF the
seven governors who asked Teddy to re.
consider and to run. 1t now develops
that Gov Osborn had all the time been
fishing for the vice presidential nomina-
ton for himself. What did he expect
There are seven of those governors anu
only one nomination-Bo Boston Globe
Here in Vermont, too, the simultane-
Gus announcement of Roosevelt success
in some sections and Ernest w. Gibson
as possible candidate for governor Of
Nermont-well, they do form a rathef
unusual combination Moreover, the as
sertion by Mr.. Gibson that the mention
of his name at this time is an effort
of the Taft men to befog the issue in
Vermont is scarcely borne out by the
facts in the case, since the mention OF
Mr.. Gibson for the position OF governor
was actually brought out by Roosevelt
supporters; the Taft men hadn't appar-
emily considered such thing, although
the suspicion is now brought to them.
The suspicion carries the more weigh,
because it has been quite certain for
years that Mr.. Gibson was a receptive
candidate for higher officer either lieu
tenant governor or governor. Still, it is
nothing to Mr.. Gibson's discredit if he
should try to ride in on the Roosevelt
band-wagon.

had never been our good fortune to
taste one until Christmas day, when

Moore, presented The Res iste with a
basket of the yellow ana r.u beauties
which his daughters, Mesdames Riegel
and Walters, brought with them from
their Oregon home.
The apples are of good size, gorgeous
in coloring. juicy, and have a splendid
aroma and flavor They vary in tart
ness according to the variety, those
received including the Ortley Wagner S
Choice aud Spitzenburg. The latter
has little more zest than the others,
but none of them is exeelled by apples
that we ever ran across before. This
delicious fruit is certainly up to the
Hood River reputation, and was raised
on the ranch of Hans Lage in the
celebrated valley named. The grower
certainly has good cause to feel proud
of the excellence of his product - Har
