Who Are The
Money Makers
? ?

You will say the big rich men
whose homes are known to every
BODY.
Not so. Many large enterprises
are financed by the savings of clerks,
work people-the masses who deposit
part of their income in savings banks.
Little savings reach large aggre-
gates wonderfully fast. Little ex-
sravagances multiply into large
losses.

PRES. MORRIS McDONALD-TWICE
AGAIN.

PRES. MORRIS McDONALD-TW1CE
AGAIN.
! Inasmuch as Morris Mcdonald was
not present at the meetings Of the Mont
peler & Wells River and the Barre &
, Chelsea railroads yesterday when he
was elected president of the two roads,
il would behoove him to come up to Yer
mont before long and see what he has
/ in the line of transportation feeder in
Barre. Such frequent changes are be-
ing made in the official personnel of
these two railroads following their ac-
quirement by the Boston & Maine sys-
TEN, which, in turn, is controlled by the
New York, New Haven & Hartford r. r..
that We no sooner have an opportunity
to acquaint the president of the roads
with some of the possibilities of the see
ton before he goes out of office, to be
supplanted by some entire stranger. The
Kaleidoscope now brings into the posi-
ton of president of the two roads a
man who is probably entirely unfamiliar
with conditions peculiar to the field in
which his two railroads operate. With
out doubt, things will go along as before,
with under-officers doing the operating
under the general system of the big rail-
road system and without the necessity
| of President Mcdonald knowing much
about the actual details of the business.
However, Barre and Montpelier would
! like to have President Mcdonald get into
/ touch with their railroad transportation
! problems to a certain extent through
personal observation. Possibly it is not
too much to expect that he will make
this visit, maybe many visits, so that
when the needs of this locality arise
he will be in a position to know some
thing about it, first hand, without need
OF relying entirely on the reports of his
subordinates He is good enough rail
road president to desire to know Just
what he has under his control, but at
the present time he is doubtless en-
crossed with the duties of becoming ia :
miliar with the administration of the
Boston & Maine railroad, to which he
was recently called as president, so that
his visit to Barre and Montpelier will
be delayed for a time.

In the October American Magazine
Ray Stannard Baker gives remarkable
account OF Colonel Goethals and the ex-
traordinary manner in which he has dug
the Panama canal. The following ex-
tract shows how he has managed to
get up enthusiasm among his men,
when Goethals first went to Panama,
the work was organized on what may
be called the horizontal system-that is,
the canal was considered as a whole,
and one commissioner had charge of
all the lock work, another Of the exca-
walton, and so on but after a short trial
os this method, Goethals reorganized the
entire work on what may be called a
perpendicular basis. He divided the ca
nal into three divisions--Atlantic, cen.
trail, and Pacifc-and placed each of
them under a superintendent. Two of
these superintendent, Colonies Sibert
and Gaillard, were army engineers and
members of the canal commission, and
the third, Mr.. Williamson, was a civil
engineer.

Governor Felker of New Hampshire
finds himself thrust into prominence
much as Governor Bell of Vermont was
thrust when Mary Rogers case was
pending, only that it is not a case OF
life or death with the person whose
case comes before the New Hampshire
executive, whereas Governor Bell was
torn by conflicting emotions as some
pleaded for and some against the life
of the condemned woman. Nevertheless,
Governor Felker's position is not par

Old Cave-in," and he was naturally
mad till Minnie explained.
But was going to tell you how
Linborough stopped being artistic. 1t
was all very well while summer last
ed and prices were good. But 1t wasn't
till fall that any OF the girls in our
town would look at the young fellows,
and by the time they had crept back
into favor again summer was coming
round once more. Mrs Higginbotham
came back, and the furniture was get
ting ready to go into the attic, and l
saw Minnie looking at The Tavern
sign, which Hi had put away in the
woodshed. And If Minnie hadn't been
at college all the winter we'd have
had no peace at home.
Now | was telling you about Sam
Bum. He'd always admired Minnie,
and though she hadn't treated him
we'll, he still hankered after her, SO
he and some other young men come
up to talk it over with Hi, and the
result was Society for the Promo
ton of Being Artistic. 1t was beat
ing Mrs. Higginbotham at her own
game.
1T began when she found the frost
had burst her pipes, and sent for Sam.
Sam listened respectfully.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Higginbotham.' he
says, when she gets through, but I've
joined our new Society for the Promo
ton of Being Artistic, and l can't fix

We'll, since Sam was the only
plumber in town, she had to send
over to Greenfield.
Then there was Ed Keggs, the
butcher. He wanted business, but he
wanted Mabel Cough more, and Mabel
was artistic. So he had joined the So
ciety, and he wouldn't sell lamb chops
or ribs.
Chops amt artistic, Mrs. Higgin-
botham, he explained. What is ar

He said canned goods was vulgar.

Up the fight and left.
Yes, it did pay us, being artistic,
but we don't envy Deerfield. And, as
Hi says, he don't want to be artistic
unless his armchair and pipe goes
with it.

waist. The loops are graduated in
length with one outstanding and two
hanging.
Speaking Of waists, we must note
that the small waist is decidedly out
Of fashion. 1t is this fact that has
brought about the tremendous vogue
Of sashes. They do not define the
waist line, they conceal it. Their pur-
pose is to belong to the figure above
and below the waist and to ignore the
waist line so far as defining it is con-
cerned. They show a great advance
in popular taste, for this management
of the waist is far more beautiful
than the hard and fast, lines of a
few years back.
Plaid ribbons and plain ribbons Tor
sashes of silk) trimmed with plaid
are, more than any other, in keeping
with cloth gowns. The plaids of the
season are subdued and rich.
By all means prepare to supply
your wardrobe with "a variety of
sashes, for they are the reigning favor.
lite among all accessories of dress.
The management of the waist is a
new art, new world to conquer, and
it has just dawned upon the feminine
mind. What will come of it remains
TO be seen, but you may be sure that
whether you have under consideration
a toilette for morning, noon or night
the sash is the thing you can't leave
out. In fact it is quite likely that
milady of fashion will begin by
choosing a sash and finish by buying
a gown to go with it.
There is nothing haphazard about
all this The sashes designed for
wear with cloth-gowns and those de-
signed for gowns of filmy materials
differ quite as much as the fabrics
they are to go with. Also, the per-
sonality Of the wearer must be con-
sidered, and the style she wishes to
affect must be studied. Happily intui-
tion is often very safe guide An
other consoling thing is that the sash
is not an extravagant fad It is splen.
didly effective and adds a suggestion
of splendcr quite beyond its actual
cost.

r. HERE are so many different de-
y signs in sashes that they have to
be classified and named. Those de-
signed to be worn with one-piece cloth
gowns are made ready to adjust and
are fastened with hooks and eyes.
The one-piece cloth gown with con-
siderable lace and chiffon in the bod
ice) is crowding the separate blouse
and becoming at least equally popular
for ordinary wear. But sashes de
signed for wear with blouse and skirt,
and those to be worn with one-piece
gowns, differ considerably.
Plaids, Roman stripes and brocades
are favored for cloth gowns, although
there are plenty of plain sashes fin
ished with touches of plaid or bor-
dared with velvet ribbon. A very
popular sash is made of plain satin,
shaped at the ends and lined. Hand
embroidered flowers or conventional
designs make the handsomest finish
for these. Such sashes are made
usually without loops. Recent de-
signs show sashes of velvet ribbon
with embroidered roses applied to
them. These roses are cut out from
ribbons or bands manufactured for the
purpose, and the roses are sewed to
the velvet with an appropriate en-
broidery stitch or a buttonhole stitch.
Short sashes of brocaded ribbons
are liked for cloth gowns. They are
wide and there is a liking for a fiat
bow as finish, worn at the front.
But there is absolutely no rule as to
how the sashes and girdles, which
are SO prominently featured in the
seasons styles, shall be worn. They
wander about the figure in any direc-
ticn the wearer wills and fasten at
any point that it pleases her taste
to choose.
The Roman girdle is made of heavy,
soft ribbon in brilliant stripes. It is
adjusted about the waist, easily ex-
tending above the normal waist line
and finished with fat, shirred bow.
There is an occasional exception to
/ this method of finishing, however.
For slender people bow Of three
loops fastening at the left side helps

LITTLE FOR DOCTORS 10 DO
Accounts Seem to SHOW That Disease
Is Soon to Become q Thing Of
the Past.

After reading the speeches and the
papers at the Medical congress one
gets the impression that the outlook
for the medical profession is gloomy
indeed, says London Truth. One
deadly disease after another has been
tackled and overthrow. Discovery
follows discovery each more brilliant
than the last and fraught with great
er benefit to mankind. 1t takes whole
week of reading and talking to de-
scribe the wonderful things that doc
tors have been doing in all parts of
the world merely within the last 10
months. Obviously, there must soon
be no more worlds to conquer. Every
one will have been cured and no more
doctors will be wanted. 1t is pathet-
ic to see the crowded ranks of the
new generation of Bob Sawyers, and
to reflect that in a few years their &C.
cupation will be gone.
Would it not be well ii somebody
were to get up a congress of pa
tients? 1t is just possible that we
might then hear another side of these
astonishing scientific achievements. AS
matter of fact, every congress of
medicos that l can remember has
been conducted with the same strain;
but disease has continued to exist,
doctors have continued to multiply,
and the one thing that is perfectly GER
tain as each generation proclaims its
new knowledge is that the preceding
generation knew nothing at ALL In
order to get at the real value of all
the achievements that we have heard
about during the past week we must
wait until the next International con-
gress is held in London.
