Moral Is To Conserve Your Steam.

Moral Is To Conserve Your Steam.
The Sedgwick Paragraph says it
does not know the authorship of this
fable: A man who never amounted
to much once got job running the
engine of sawmill. He was greatly
impressed with the importance of his
position and wanted everyone to know
that he was the man who made all the
wheels 90 round. The first morning
he steamed up the engine he jerked
the whistle wide open and made the
welkin ring for miles around, saying
to himself, as the echoes bounced
over the hills, ~ am certainly the
big noise in this part of the country"
Just then the foreman started the
force on big days work and discov-
cred that there was not enough steam
left to start the machinery. He OF
the big noise was promptly canned
and the job was given to hobo.
Moral: You can't saw wood il you
use all the steam blowing your
whistle.

0bitualy-Rev. Geo H. Bailey

The church at Weybridge mourns the
loss of its well-beloved pastor, George
Hamilton Bailey, who after an illness OF
only few days was called to higher
service on Feb. 22. Laboring under in
creasng physical handicaps he held
steadily to his work and preached on
Feb. 9, but two days later he was stricken
down and the end came soon. Mr.. Bailey
was born in Canton, N. Y, April 2S, 1889,
of Vermont parentage, and always count
ed himself a Vermonter. His ministry
began and ended in this state. He was
student in Middlebury college when the
war broke out, and early responded to
the call for troops. His field service in
the 9th Vermont was of only a few
months, owing to illness, but he was
in the military office at Brattleboro till
the close of the war. He was graduated
from Bangor Seminary in 1867, and tie
next year Middlebury added A. NJ to his
name. His first pastorate was at New
port where under his leadership the lit
tie church threw off missionary aid ard
took a long step forward toward its lat
ter day prosperity. Under physicians
orders he left the pulpit in 1871 and joined
his brother in business in Toledo, ONO;
but with returning ability he rendered
frequent service as pulpit supply until IL
1875 he resumed pastoral service, minis
tering at Griggsville, H., for three years.
At Toledo he was a charter member OF
the Washington Street church in 1873 and
was its first clerk and treasurer. From
1878 to 1893 he was in New York, at FAR
port, Moravia and Franklin, and tor IA
years of this period he was treasurer OF
the state association. His later ministry
was in Ashfield, Mass, and in Ferusourg
and Weybridge. His last five pastorates
were of nearly seven years each, ana ne
had hoped to round out the seventh year
at Weybridge, which had just begun
Addison Association nominated him LOT
membership in the A. b. Y. r.
NJ. last year, and he priced his election
and was planning to fulfil his duty by az
tendance at the next annual meeting. MT
Bailey was preacher of no mean ability
a faithful pastor, wise councillor, agen-
ial friend. He was always in his place
at ecclesiastical gatherings and contri6u-
ted much to the success of any meeting
which he attended.
On the day he enlisted he was marrled
to Miss Cara T. Bundy of Morrisville
and they celebrated their golden wedding

The funeral service was held in the

NOT A PRODUCER OF REVENUE
intoxicating Liquor Is Not Necessity
Nor luxury-Fountain of Vice
Should Be Suppressed.

by ATTORNEY GENERAL DAWSON
of Kansas)
Our ideas of equity acquiesce read
lily in the doctrine that Injuries should
bear a heavier rate of taxation than
necessities. But intoxicating liquor is
neither a luxury nor a necessity It
is vice and the fountain of vice, and
we have no moral right to depend
upon vice as source of revenue.
Luxuries are to be taxed vice is to
be suppressed. Furthermore, it can
be shown from a myriad Of proofs
that the license system is not reve-
nue. producer; it is not even what 1t
pretends to be. In cities where the
prohibitory law has been enforced and
the revenue licenses or license fines
shut off, the Incidents of the liquor
business - court costs, paupers, de-
pendent and neglected children, and
kindred public expenses, shrink also,
so that the loss of the license revenue
does not affect the ordinary taxpayer.

guard you from "the pride which

you long nights of restful sleep at the
end of your busy days and when other

Puzzle In Chronology.

The profound truth that tomorrow
never comes and yesterday, although
1t is always passing, has never been
with us, has led a puzzled thinker to
the conclusion, although yesterday
today was tomorrow and tomorrow to-
day will be yesterday. nevertheless
yesterday tomorrow would be the day
after tomorrow, because today would
be tomorrow yesterday, and tomorrow
will be today tomorrow or would have
been the day after tomorrow yester-
day."
