the November presidential election. If
the republicans majority exceeds 30
GOO in Vermont in September, they
carry the presidency. But if the demo-
Gratis cut the majority down to less
than 10000 they have won.
To-day Vermont casts its vote for
the gubernatorial candidates.
The democratic candidate for COVER
nor, Harland {. Howe, has carried on
his campaign practically by making
speeches TO the voters. He had some
assistance during the last few days OF
the campaign and notwithstanding the
fact that the democrats have not made
the vigorous fight in Vermont that
they are making in some other parts
of the country there is every indica-
ton that Mr.. Howe stands a most ex-
cellent chance OF defeating both rival
candidates.
Students Of political affairs recall
The famous speech OF Henry W. Grady
OF Georgia, delivered at the annual
banquet OF the Boston Merchants as
sOciation in December. 1889.
Mr.. Grady, who had a countrywide
reputation as an orator, closed his
speech with the following eloquent tTi-
butte to the democrats of Vermont:
Let me confess. Mr. President

liam c. Whitney looked up from a
pile of kilograms and in reply TO the
question as to the outlook for demo
cratic victory, said:
Wait until after the good people of
Vermont register their votes on the
first Monday in September and | think
can make an accurate guess as to
who will be the next president"
Mr.. Whitney turned TO his work as
il he had dismissed the subject for
good.
But why wait for the first Monday
in September his caller insisted.
For the simple reason that Yer
mont is perfect political barometer, -"
replied Mr.. Whitney
And il has been so for a quarter of
a century. When you find Vermont
giving a majority OF $4,000 or over for
the republicans in their September
election, then you can expect the re,
rublicans TO carry the country in No,
vember"
In 1884 the democrats al the Sep.
TENDER election lost the state by only
22,704 and in November the democrats
swept the country.
1882 the democrats reduced the re
publican majority in Vermont in the
September election by 1902 and again
swept the country at the presidential
election in November.
In 1900 the republicans carried the
state in September by 3O.S64 and Nc

The Argus Daily Story
Wendelrs Experience-By Clarissa Mackie
Copyrighted. 1912. by Associated Literary Bureau

1t was a lazy day. Spring had ar
rived early that year. and in April the
messy banks of the Virginia brookside
were starred thickiy with delicate for
cetmenots and purple violets. The sun
shone down warmly through the trees,
changing the bursting buds to misty
green leaves until the whole wood was
permeated with green light shot through
with sunshine.
Jack Wendell tramped through the
crisp leaves OF successive years and
with wistful, half defiant glance up
the winding road that led TO Everglade
Hall he threw himself down beside the
murmuring brook and plucked remorse-
lessly at the flowers.
"Forgetmenots-rubb he ejacu-
lated bitterly. "All women are faith
less"
Rubbish TO thatr' retorted sweet
voice from the other bank. and Jack
arose. startled TO observe pretty girl
enga ged In plucking violets and for
getmenots and tying them into little
punches. She wore a pink frock, and
with the background of green moss
and the golden green atmosphere Of
the wood surrounding her she looked
TO Jacks bewildered eyes like pink
and white fairy evolved from the April
day. Her skin was pink and white,
and her hair was golden, like the sun
shine. and her eyes were like the blue
sky and the flowers below. When she
spoke TO Jack she had flashed a saucy
glance at him from under golden brown
lashes.

man can't slop over all the time. |
And he gets mighty tired of a woman
who expects it of him.
In the courtship stage both men and
women are in an abnormal state. They
couldn't keep up the strain all their
lives and remain sane.
Nobody finishes a meal with the
same keen appetite with which he be-
gan it. No sensible person expects to
exist in a continual ecstasy-it would
soon cease to be ecstasy and become
a bore.
When a man has been a husband for
10 years. especially if he is OF a quiet
disposition las in the instance quot
ed he is none the less a lover in his
| heart II he has married the right wo-
man, and any extraordinary instance
would rouse him into showing 1t; but
life isn't made up Of extraordinary in
stances. It's full of just days and or
binary happenings. like meals and bus
mess and such-things that don't key
one up to romantic heights. So the
average husband of 10 years or more
finds his happiness in heartfelt sure
ty that the one woman in the world is
his; that he doesn't have to go into
spasms to hold her love or make her
think he loves her; that she knows the
dcV otion covered by his perfunctory
morning and evening kiss: and so he
rests content, without any Of those
soul-yearnings in which some wives in
dulge even when they are old enough
&c know better.
When man shows that he is con-
tented in his home; when he gives a
satisfied sigh after a meal; when his
whole air proclaims that he is hus-
and, a householder, a wife may be
sure that she is secure in his heart, no
matter how undemonstrative he may
be in loverlke way. The fact is, that
his love then is far more substantial
: and worth possessing than it was In
/ it's pyrotechnic rewness before mar
: rage, for it's stood the test.
