BRAIEYS ROrM TODN
THE DAYS OF OLD.

Sometimes l long for the days Of old
When men were quick with a trusty blade.
When handles strutted In silk and gold
And women rustled in stin brocade.
When life was filled with the old Romance
With courtly manners and stately ways
And brave Adventure had half chance
Meath the smiling skies of the Good Old Days!
And yet-and yet-this thought keeps coming
They had no plumbing!
There's wondrous thrill in the good old time
When gallants fought for gallant king
And all went gay a lifting rhyme
And life was a rollicking joyous thing
When Milford rode forth in scarlet coat
With spotless lace at his neck and wrist
And faithful squire at his side to note
The deeds he did-and the maids he kissed
Yet for all his deeds and dear, he held EN-.
He bathed but seldom!
| sometimes long for the days of old
And sigh to climb from the modern rut:
Then think OF the castles dim and cold
And think Of the poor mans airless hut;
think OF the candles they used for light
The numbering stage they rode upon
! think OF the Might that passed for Right
And I'm glad the good old days have gone!
They were pleasant days for the hero, dapper.
But-Im no scrapper!

CHRISTMAS IN
BETHLEHEM.

No place in all the world has n
greater interest in the Christmas sea
son than Bethlehem. The normal pop
ulation Of the town where Christ was
born in less than 5000, hut during
Christmas week it becomes great
cosmopolitan center of 10000 or G0.0O0
souls, all eager to pay homage TO the
place hallowed by the Saviour's birth.
In Bethlehem people are brought face
TO face with the wonderful scenes
which are but feebly known to the rest
of the world. Here they may see the
place where the three wise men of the
east halted after their long journey.
Here they worship the shrine inclosing
the manger in which Christ was born.
They walk along the same road fol
lowed by the Virgin Mary in her jour
ney to the ancient city. They see
buildings and ruins which the eyes of
the infant Christ rested upon. The
tiny city, crescent shaped and beauti-
full to look upon, teens with the real
fties which the rest of the world cele-
brates.

list is made of the various manufact
uring enterprises of each town and
city.
A statement is made regarding the
financial resources of the state as
indicated by the amount of money on
deposit in various Vermont banks. A
statement is made regarding the
legal provisions that aid in the estab-
lishment of new industries, including
a statement of the corporation laws
which are favorable to the building
up of new enterprises.
A great number of state and gov
eminent publications have been con
suited in order that all possible in
formation relative to Vermont indus
tries and Vermont water powers may
be included in this compilation. It is
intended to make this as complete an
Industrial hand book of the state of
Vermont as it is possible to issue at
this time. Already many replies
have been received from all parts of
the state and it is certain that the
information thus gathered will be
valuable to all persons interested in
the present standing and the future
possibilities of Vermont industries.
While Vermont does not rank high
in manufacturing when compared
with many of the great industrial
states, the number of industries to be
found in the various towns and cities

book. The facts show that Vermont
ranks very high IN its water power
resources and that there are very
large possibilities of further devel
opment along this line. Nature has
fitted Vermont to be a great man
lufacturing state. For many years its
industrial opportunities have beer
neglected This book attempts tc
remedy this neglect by setting fortl
what Vermont has to offer and it il
likely to be of benefit not only Il
possible investors from without the
state, but to people within the state
who do not realize our actual and ou1
