- NEE there lived in far country
an Ogress who hated every
one who had any beauty bo-
Es cause she was so bad tempered
that her face was unpleasant to look
upon and her disposition even showed
~ her form, which was crooked, and
me walked Sideways instead OF going
Now this Dreadful Ogress had little
cgies-we should call them little girls
and two were like their mother and
but tho third and youngest was very
pretty and had long black hair, which
was very glossy. Her cheeks were like
tive red roses and her teeth like pearls.
When the ogress beheld the beauty
Of her youngest daughter she began
TO hate her. which, Of course. Is not

had only known that the chief reason
Tor Filadcro's beauty was because She
had sweet disposition. they very
their. disagreeable ways. but they did
not know anything about that, and 80
they went on being bad.
But one day the Ogress noticed TINT
FtladOro was growing more beautiful
End her two sisters told their mother
that unless she sent Filacoro away they
would leave home. for that very day a
young man who wore beautifL! velvet
had stopped at their door and asked for
Q drink of water.
I'VE tried to be polite and get the
sisters, but that bold F1iadoro brought
the water and he never looked at us
again.
He must have poor sight" replied
the Ogregs. ito prefer that black-haired
creature to my two handsome darlings;

ut is high time Miss, you were taught
thow to respect your dear sisters" said
the Ogress. you shall be put in the
how to behave
So poor Filadoro was put in q high
tower and fed on bread and water until
anyone but Filadoro would have starved.
the bread turned to meat and cake and
the water to good, rich milk.
So Filadoro grew strong and more
beautiful, and the strangest part was
her hair grew long until it trailed upon
the floor.
Now. the young man in the rich
clothes who stopped ~ the Ogress' door
was q prince, and he fell in love with
Ftladoro, but the next time he passed
that way and asked for drink the two
ugly sisters were the only ones he saw.
''Where is the young girl that served
me when I last called?" asked the
prince
"Oh, that was our servant" answered
the untruthful sisters, '.and she was SC
bold we sent her away"
The prince left with a heavy heart
but Just as he was riding away a bird
singing sweetly in a tree caused him to
look up, and there in the tower he could
see something moving.
II wonder what that can be-" thought
the prince. THAT old castle looks ready
to fall; 1t cannot be that anyone 10 liv-

He thought about tho pretty girl he
had seen on his first visit all the way
home and how strange the sisters had
acted when he asked about her.

Compulsory Vaccination Bill" Now Be-
fore the Vermont Legislature for
Enactment or Rejection.

The joint committees on public health
held a public hearing last evening on
Senate bill 81, known as the "compul-
sorry vaccination BILL" Every seat in
the hall of representatives was taken,
and the gallery was filed The speakers
were frequently interrupted by applause.
The state board of health was given the
first opportunity to speak, and DIR. c. S.
Caverly OF Rutland, chairman of the
board, spoke in support of the measure
and told of his success in vaccination as
preventive of smallpox. He ridiculed
the statements made concerning heavy
death rate following vaccination and
stated that not over two per cent. of
vaccinated persons die from smallpox.
DIR. Henry ID. Holton, secretary of the
state board of health, said it was not
the wish of the board to hurt the feel
ings of any person, but he felt that
vaccination was needed, and
quoted many figures from foreign eoun.
tries to show a decrease in smallpox
compulsory vaccination.
DIR. c. H. Beecher of Burlington spoke
in support of the bill and quoted Stats
tics from Germany in contention that
vaccination has resulted in
essenng smallpox in that country.

The Divorce Evil.

While the divorce evil is being dis
cussed, following the report in England
which painted dismal picture of mar
riage relations in the United States, a
marriage in the town of Thibodeau, La.
is worthy of attention. 1t seems to be
in suhstantiation of the contention that
the place to correct the divorce evil is
at its fountain head, at the marriage
altar. The bride in the wedding men,
toned quit the thirdreader class in the
public schools to assume the responsible
tiles OF wife. During the ceremony
she wore short dresses. The bridegroom
presented to his wife a huge doll, of
the type that amuses children by open
ing and closing its eyes. The majority
Of the wedding presents We're toys for
the BRIDE
Now then, did anyone beside the doll
have their eyes closed And viii they
be opened some time? If that little girl
10 years old and still in the toy stage OF
development, knew what she was about,
she is a wonder. 1t is a delicate matter
to NEEDLE in such private affairs, and
there is every hope that the child never
regrets the action of her elders in per-
hitting her to take the course she did,
but who could honestly blame her, when
grown up, if she should decide that there
had been a wrong choice
There is more than one way Of look |
ng at the divorce evil.---St. Adams Mes |
,encer

that out of the Il eases reported to him
30 were unvaccnated and in three cases
the vaccination had been unsuccessful.
