BENNINGTON, VT, DEC. 2, 1912.

During the present open season in
Maine the hunters have killed 2637
deer, about double the number that
complete reports will probably show
were shot during the open season of
ten days in this state. In Maine,
thirteen men have been killed in
hunting accidents, figures that stand
out in vivid contrast when comrar-
ed with the record of the ten days OF
deer hunting in this state. Most of
the hunters in Vermont are men
who have some knowledge of wood
craft. They have passed their lives
within a days walk of the mountains
and in frequent contact with the
great outdoors. Because of this OPP
portunity they have learned some
things of which the city sportsmen
have no knowledge and have also ac-
quired degree of caution which
does not come to the men who carry
rifle only few days during the
year and that, too, without the ex-
perience that most of the Vermont
hunters have secured in the days of
their boyhood.

INSTRUMENTATION.

There are eight voters in the
town of Glastonbury. according to
the Bennington Banner, and two of
them are members of the legislature,
one a senator the other a represent
atlve.
THUS a citizen of Glastonbury has
about 400 times the political power
of citizen of Burlington, as far as
the general assembly is concerned on
the basis of voting population.
And yet freedom and equality is
the keynote of constitutional govern
ment in the state of Vermont as in
the nation. burlington News.
That's it.; that's what the Vermont
form of representative government
does to Vermont. 1t wouldn't be
much cause for wonderment if there
should rise up in the state body of
men who would be for every new in
strument of government, who would
earnestly advocate the referendum,
the initiative the recall, primaries of
the widest description, direct cleo
ton of almost anything, just be-
cause 1t is the only way that the peo-
pie, the people full and by, can Sc
cure for themselves an opportunity
10 rule themselves. To talk of the
rule of the people in Vermont is
idle. With Col Roosevelt making
his fight along this line, 1t is a won
der that he received a single vote
from the rural districts from the
towns that now enjoy a monopoly of
government in this state.
II will be a long time before this
abuse will be overcome. but it will be
some day for it cannot endure for
ever. Sometime there will rise up
second Dorr, perhaps, if it cannot be
brought about any other way. Argu-
ment on argument against any
change may be brought up, but the
answer will always be that the peo-
pie do not rule. Acres hold sway in
Vermont today; humans count for
little.-St. Adams Messenger

Hapgood's Bills

Representative Hapgood of Peru
has introduced bills into the legis-
lature of the following import and he
would be pleased to receive commun-
ications from any parties Interested
in regard to them.
To further the conservation of
forests by having timber lands of
one hundred acres or more set in the
lists at half their value which shall
be put by regular deed under the
perpetual control of the state so far
as the manner Of cutting timber up
on them is concerned
To establish the pay of members
of the assembly at four dollars per
day, Sunday and adjournments of
one week or more excepted. And not
to exceed three hundred dollars for
the biennial session, exclusive of
mileage.
To encourage independence in the
marking of ballots under the Aus
tralian form by rendering valid any
mark after any particular candidate
and causing a mark in the square at
the head of a column to count only
for those in that column where a
competitor has not been already
voted for. This bill is to come up
only in case the bill requiring a
mark against every candidate voted
for. which has passed the house and
which is considered the only true
method is rejected by the senate

The Toxin of Christmas.

Whirls of fine feathery fakes filled
the crisp night which foretod the
coming of a white Christmas on the
morrow. The wheels of the delivery
wagons crunched along with that
ringing sound that tells the tale of
the temperature better than the Their
mometer itself.
Under the flaming arc lights of the
street the snow glistened in the air
and on the coats and hats of the gay,
pushing throngs, laden with bundles.
Everywhere seemed to be joy. pros
perity, good wilton the surface.
Struggling into the big storm a hui
man tide contended with another hui
man tide struggling to escape. With
in the store, aisles were crowded,
VISTA of faces and furs as far as the
eve could reach. The counters over
flowed with goods waiting TO be
bought and sent on their mission Of
love. And yet there was no peace
and good will here. IL was struggle
and chaos and i'll humor and sitting
air. an inferno of exhaustion, from
which the human tide that surged out
of the doors was glad to escape.
One huge counter was laden with
paper Christmas bells. garland and
wreaths. There we're bells in the
brightest of red, in the brightest OF
green, bells in red and green TO-
gether. bells of enormous size that
could be folded up and showed into an
overcoat pocket, little bells that
could be strung along dancing merrlly
on a cord, bells that betokened the
message of peace on earth-and to-
night a riot at the counter to get
something that had been put of until
the last minute.
Behind the long counter half a doz-

handing back change, crying out now
and then shrilly, check. trying hard
to be courteous. now and then spurred
on by the watchful fioorwalker who
with piercing eye seemed to see even
half a moments pause in the rush
to sell. The time schedule OF these
girls had not been heightened by
night work, but in this store by re-
duction OF the lunch and supper per
iods. IL was the glad season when
even the law does not protect-the
18th to the Gath OF December.
Tessie's fingers were numb. In the
mad rush. she had cut them here and
there on the sharp edges OF the paper
painful cuts that smarted with a pain
only deadened by her exhaustion.
Her feet were swollen with long
hours of standing. She knew nothing
about the toxin Of fatigue about which
the doctors and social workers study
and write. But she could have told
them much from her own experience
Of the subtle poison that fatigue was
injecting into the glad Christmas
season for her.
There was no pause for the little
girl with the dreamy face. sensitive
mouth. and delicate blue-veined
hands.

laughing at

Again it was the fioorwalker. not
bad fellow, but mindful of the store
and its customers. Tessie bit her
lip and said nothing. Her feet felt
J heavier than ever. Her head swan.
| The customers were more insistent as
the clock hands advanced. Was
there no antitoxin for the poisoned
Christmas Eve?
At last the hour of closing came.
Tessie had been invited to Christ
| mas dinner given by some philan-
thropic people to working girls. The
store had given a Christmas bonus
of two dollars and during the time
when she should have been eating her
supper she had run off to purchase a
s159 met" waist to wear to the festal
dinner. But somehow the thought of
that dinner now did not gladden.
Tessie. She was too worn out
Tessie dragged herself rather than
walked out on the side streets from
the employees entrance. At the curb
young man was standing. He lifted
his hat. Merry Christmas, kid"
he said. II was not an unpleasant
voice. Tessie did not look twice.
She Rugged her $1.59 waist closer to
her thin coat. and sped up the street
which took her past a dance hall.
Couples were going in and coming
out In there was light and life and
happiness.
The crisp snow crunched beside
her. Say, kid er needn't run away
from me. Come on in and have
dance"
Tessie looked up and drew back in
surprise. The Dung man following
her was the fellow to whom Maize
had been talking SO gaily at the post
card counter
lust then the music started
"Everybody's doing IT," She could
feel her feet, tired as they were,
urged on by the strains. On the
waxed floor Maize glided into her line

He took her arm, not roughly. but

last, breathless, exhausted, she
reached her home. She crawled up
stairs to the narrow hall bedroom
warmed only by the gas Jet that even
failed to light IL. She paused a.
moment to look about the bare room
with a growing resentment at her
lot. There was the blackened and
battered coffee pot and a couple OF
rolls for tomorrow's breakfast.

perhaps. She knew nothing OF
scientific management or Of eficient
salesmanship. But she was human
and somehow. down in her heart, she
knew she did not deserve this.
She threw herself on the bed. /
What a Christmas Eve this was for
her-too tired even 10 sleep.
There flashed through Tessie's
mind the picture Of the gay crowd In

she was too tired TO care much about
anything, too tired even to watch the
clock on the gallery at the end OF the
aisle
Hello. Tess"
1t was Maize, who had worked with
Tessie last year at the handkerchief
counter, but had been laid off in the
slack season during the summer.
Tessie had not seen her since then
She remembered Maize as a plump
faced girl who had lost a good deal OF
her freshness in the store, but none
of her wilfulness. Was this the
same Maize. True, there was color
now on her cheeks, but it was the
color of the crisp night air. Her black
eyes sparkled, but there was look OF
holiness in them that grated on the
sensitive nature of Tessie. Yet there
was no denying that Maize was
pretty. Even her cheap fur coat and
rakish hat did not wholly spoil it.
Hello, Tess. They told me that

She laughed. the laugh of girl of
the world. But it sent a shudder
through Tessie. Still, the coat was
fur and the hat was rakish.
Eyes, got lots of fellers. nice
fellers," added Maize. I'VE go to
dances and balls and suppers and

Maize was talking at Tessie but not
to her. Tessie noticed IL and follow
ed her rowing eye.
over by the picture post cards was
a well-dressed young fellow with a
face that showed a knowledge of the
world somewhat beyond his years.
Tired as she was, Tessie saw that the
young fellow had caught Mazie's eye.
A querulous customer interrupted.
She wanted TO see some garlands and
wreaths but Tessie. absorbed in
watching Maize, had not heard her.
In an unlucky instant the floor
walker called out, Here no gossip
ing. now Wait on this lad"
The harshness of the fioorwalker
brought a flush to Tessie's pale
cheeks as she mechanically showed
how to fold and unfold the long gar
lands Again and again she had to
reach up TO the shelves with her
leaden arms for other kinds to salts
