A TOWNS RECONCILIATION

In ms introduction to publication
of which he is co-author with Charles
Otis Gill, Clifford Pinchot describes At
some length Mr. Gill s work, and Incl
dentally gives doTeful picture of
conditions in one Vermont community.
The scene is laid in Windsor county. in
an unnamed town. When Mr.. Gill went
TO It, we are told the moral and social
laxity of the whole community was
ilagrant. Disbelief in the existence of
goodness appeared to be common. It IS
said, public disapproval of indecencv
was timid or lacking, and religion was
IN general disrepute. Not only was
there no day of worship, but there was
no day Of rest. Life was mean. hard.
small, selfish and covetous. Land be-
longing to the town was openly pill
LACED by the public officers who held
1t IN trust; real estate values were
low; and among the respectable fanii-
lies there was a general desire to sell
their property and move away.
That S the tale told of this Windsor
county town. We hope that it is over
charged. But the story comes out right
IN the last chapter, as all stories should
do. A church was organized. The
public property of the town, once a
source of graft and decentralization. be-
came a public asset. The value of real
estate increased beyond all proportion
to the general rise of land values else
where, it is said. In the decade which
has elapsed since the church began it's
work, boys and girls of new type
have been brought up. The reputation
OF the village has been changed from
bad to good, public order has greatly
improved, and the growth of the place
as a summer resort has begun The es-
Enlistment of the church began a new
era in the history of the town.
There will naturally be a belief that
the town of Hartland is being exploit
ed to point a moral and .adorn a tale.
Charles Otis Gill is not name famil-
lar to Nermonters, but Mr.. Gill was
formerly one of the most noted ath
letes at Yale rowing on victorious
crews when Yale had the habit of win
ming and captaining the football team
in his senior year. Mr.. Gill's first
work as pastor was in the little town
of Westmore in Orleans county, where
he established a church, but in recent
years Hartland has been his field Of
labor.

WESTERN COMEDY FEATURE.
Unique Feature of Young Buffalo Wild
West Show

A comedy feature, said to be the
most unique as well as the most laugh
able ever programmed by a tent or
arena show. is 1.-The Chirivari on the
Ranch, one of the numerous farcial
tu>ns billed by the Young Buffalo Wild
West, Vernon c. Seaver S Hippodrome
and Col. Cummins Far East, which
will exhibit in Brattleboro on July Is.
The act, which was devised by Yer
non {. Seaver, general manager of
the combined shows, is a regular farce
comedy, staged in pantomine 1t is
put on in very elaborate style, nearly
- people taking part in it, to say
nothing of few trick animals that
are used
The story of the act concerns the
trials and tribulations of a Western
bridal couple who have eloped to the
county seat and are returning to re-
ceive the paternal blessing of the
bride S father out on the ranch The
cowboys and neighbors and their ser
wants for miles around have heard of
the elopement and are laying in wait
for the return of the blissful pair to
welcome them with live chiravari.
They accomplish their design in most
OoPdplO vIdSHlUH anu pun OH the event
that will never be forgotten by either
participants or spectators.
The unsuspecting couple are waylaid
by scores of cowboys, cowgirls and
ranch hands and "kidded' until the
groom S ire is thus aroused, when he
undertakes to thrash a husky cowboy.
While he is thus engaged someone I'm
fastens the horse from the carriage,
in which the bride is still sitting and
the terrified animal jumps clear over
carriage, bride and all and hides be-
hind the equipage. About that time
some of the groom s friends come rid
ing up and rope about a dozen negro
farm hands who have been brought
along to help serenade the newlyweds,
and go scampering off across the plains
with their victims dragging behind
them. The groom takes advantage of
the diversion to hitch himself to the
carriage and after the bride has kicked
about seven hangers-on' off, he goes
running off the scene, pulling the car
riage with the horse pushing it along
from behind.

PosTMAsTERs' EXAMINATIONS.

Editor Reformer:-
In your paper under date of July
Ii, appeared notice in regard to civil
service examinations to fill the of
fees of fourth-class postmasters to be
held IN the near future through the
county under orders of the department
and under supervision of the civil ser
vice commission which is all very true,
and one such examination was held in
Brattleboro today. for the postmaster
Saturday there is to be another for
the Mountain Mills office. These are
held under the supervision of the
Brattleboro board of civil service ex-
aminers and we have been Informed
that there are likely to be several ex-
amlnatlons under the local board of
examiners
Your notice is all very well as a
piece of information to the general
public, but when you make the as
sertion that applicants for fourth
class postmasters should apply to J.
q. Ullery of the Democratic state com
m1ttee you insinuate that only Demo
Gratis can apply for such offices and
make statement that is a slur on the
methods of filling such offices, under
civil service rules. If this was done
for joke or a hit at Mr. Ullery l
consider 1T very cheap one and not
worthy of notice. 1t certainly is a
reflection on the civil service of the
United States, and the methods which
are perfectly fair, bipartisan, and the
only right way to take these offices
out OF politics and fill them by non
partisan competitive examinations
that are both practical and sensible.
Please explain what is meant bv
such mis-statement that applicants
must apply to J. G. Ullery.
Very truly,

The New Haven Road.

(From the Hartford Courant)
No one doubts that Mr.. Mellen, in
reviewing his own work, would, under
the clearer vision of hindsight, make
some changes in it if he could This
IS the common rule in the conduct of
all large affairs, AMI its application to
Mr.. Mellen only shows that he is a
man of good sense and admirable can
dor. But in regard to the main and
essential lines of Mr. Mellen s work
Mr.. Prouty himself comedies that it is
satisfactory. Mr.. Proutv, for all his
tiresome beating around the bush, and
for all his hysterical adjectives about
the bookkeeping, afirms that the fl
nancial conditions are sound, and that
the properties bought are of substan-
tial and increasing value. In regard to
what may strictly be called railroading
that is to say, the actual service rem
dered week in and week out by our
railroad lines--Mr. Prouty places these
lines level with the best managed rail
road companies in the United States
He has worked a good deal of what
may be called the Brandeis juice into
his report, so that men of that caliber
and temper can find things that will
suit and encourage them in their
wrecking inclinations; but when one
discards all that speculative rubbish,
and comes down to the affirmative
propositions of actual and regular per-
Torrance, even Mr. Prouty really says
that Mr.. Mellen has conducted the
railroad system of New England well
within the lines of financial safety,
and with an expertness in the strict
field of. railroading that makes a com
parison of our railroad system with
the best in the country not merely
necessary but advantageous.

Clean the surface first of all with
whiting and water or crocus powder
until it is polished; then cover with a
paste of plumbago and crocus mixed
in the proportions that win produce
the desired color. Heat the paste over
a small charcoal fire. Perhaps the
