In this new and idoli8ed form the
Saraband exists to-day and is taught
in dancing schools. though the dancer
does not sing to her own accompani-
ment any more, except in. Spain. There
the songs are really poetic and charm
ing or funny and would not offend
the good old monk who spent his time
denouncing the Saraband and praying
for the souls OF the dancers.
Now, It took the Saraband about 100
years to conform to the laws Of COM
mon decency, and It has only taken one
short season OF the Turkey Trot to De
transformed into the perfectly inocu-
Gus zone Step" This teaches US that
the people who say that the world is
not getting better are pessimists and
don't know their history.

The Saraband was the original song
and-danc number that is still with US
in refined form.
It was combination Of dancing and
singing to the music of a light guitar
air, and the dancer had to sing
spicy and, one may believe, none too
proper couplet, and strum his or her
accompaniment as well.
The Saraband told story and the
dancer had to be something of an actor
and illustrate by gesture and facial ex-
preston just what the poem was about.
There was little actual dancing. for
then the singer would have gotten
completely out of breath, but a few

steps were taken in time TO the music
and the body was bent gracefully 10
the rhythm Of the tune. When the music
was performed by others the dancers
sometimes used their scarfs or shawls
as properties TO help them illustrate the
story better, especially in the later
forms Of the dance.
The verses were homemade and gen
orally described the latest bit Of gos-
sip In the village, or they gave a vivid
description Of the last brawl or any
other interesting kind Of story. Nat
urally. the village poet used all the
poetic license needed in the making Of
his tale. and as there were no laws
against SANDER or libel in those days,
disputes that arose We're settled at

during the dance. This Kind of thing
grew pretty general and made the
dance more exciting, as one could never
tell when some incensed person would
take exception to the story told by the
dancer and make things uncomfortable
for all around When the Saraband
was danced by women the song was
directed against some common enemy

Hints For the

All cooks do not understand the diff

soft water in cooking meat snd veg
etables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water containing lime OF gyp-
sum, will not boil tender. because these
substances harden vegetable cssein.
Many vegetables Gas onions) boil near

the flavor is boiled out. The addition
of salt often checks this, as in the
case Of onions, causing the vegetables
to retain their peculiar flavoring prin-
cfples. besides such nutritious matter
as might be lost in soft water. For
extracting the juice of meat TO make
broth or soup, soft water, unsalted.

aboard for you fellows. We get 'em
out OF the magazines. But here's a
thing that actually happened.
Jim Stinson and I were sent over to
San Salvico to upset the government
and start another. The government
was anxious to be upset because it
couldn't pay It's debts nor stand off its
creditors any longer
Jim and I went over there and did
it. There was no difficulty about It. l

cigars there, and Jim liked 1t on ac-

man for girls That's how I got him
to go with me, telling him how pretty
the girls were.
All the way over he was polishing
his finger nails and practicing all kinds
of eye looking and lip smiling that
he was going to captivate the ladies
with.
when we landed there Jim was
tickled to death. They were certainly
splendid looking women. They wore
shawls over their heads and shoulders
and had a way of just kind of peekinG
around, and most of them had curl
or two right in the middle of their
foreheads.
Jim said l. when these girls fall
in love with you they are just mad
about you, Why. they'll wait on YOU
all the time, hang on your lightest
words and follow you around like
lambs

Don't you suppose there is danger
of some OF these beautiful maidens

leave?' I asked.

you? Leave, Don't make me laugh
Now, this was exactly what l want

the next revolution. They often made
their revelations very realistic.

UNITED THEY GO AHEAD.

The Republicans and the Progressive
grew together again in the 10th Maine
legislature until, the Portland Press de
clares, they are reunited in a Republi
can party; and at the same time thu
contemporary asserts that the legisla
ton enacted places Maine in the "front
rank of the progressive states of the un
ion" In this instance, there is great
deal of difference due to the size of the
letter which starts the word progress
sve. And, at the same time, the two
wings of the former Republican party
have demonstrated what they can do in
the line of progress if they sink their
minor differences and put their shout
ders to the work. There is no doubt
that the fling of the Progressive party
has infused new ambition in the Re-
publican party and has stirred it to a
realization that all the old methods are
not suited for changing conditions. The
Republican party no longer is stand
pat organization, unwilling to make
move. Now, if the two wings of the
former Republican party should join
forces again, as they are reported to
have done in the state of Maine, there
are great possibilities ahead for the
united party.

Within few days Gov. Haines must
appoint the successors of these sheriifs
two of whom are Republicans and two
Democrats. Beyond doubt he will ap.
point men who will do their utmost u
enforce the law. Probably the men APP
pointed will put in the hands OF the
governor their resignation to take effect
at any time the governor believes the en-
forcement conditions are unsatisfactory
What will be the result? There will be
a scurrying to cover by the liquor sellers
most openly and fagrantly violating the
law. There will be raids, and the usuol
court proceedings. Now and then, and
here and there. the cities will be dry, but
the drought will not be serious or long
continued. No sheriff however honest or
however Loyalty assisted by deputies,
can keep Portland or Lewiston or Bangor
or Bath or Rockland dry throughout for
any length of time.
The new sheriffs will mean well at the
start, but they are about to attempt the
absolutely impossible. The most likely
result OF their strenuous activities will
lie to arouse still further resent
ment in the cities against the law
and hasten the day of its repeal: In the
mean time, while the law remains in the
constitution and on the statute books,
Gov. Haines is doing the brave and
honest thing in using every effort to en-
force it TO the letter. This is more than
most of his predecessors have done -

How Other States Feel.

Other states, in New England and
elsewhere, are showing marked lack
of enthusiasm in responding to San
Francisco's appeal for million dollar 81
half million dollar state buildings az
its 1915 exposition. The Maine legisa-
ture which adjourned last week after
the longest session in half century,
was able to resist the temptation to
make an appropriation. Perhaps it was
helped in its course by the receipt OF
two appeals from California, for il ap-
pears that San Diego is also in the ex-
position business Maine would natur-
ally be one of the first eastern states
to be enthusiastic over any California
project, for no state in the whole union,
with the single exception Of Massaehu-
sets, has more Maine men and women
among its inhabitants than California.
In Connecticut, Gov. Baldwin has told
the legislature that he does not see any
sense in the request for a million dol
lar Connecticut building at the San Fran
cisco fair and the lawmakers appear to
agree with him. The Hartford Courant,
which warmly commends his attitude
in this matter, points out that Connec-
ticut, through its insurance companies
has erected s20,000,000 worth of san
Francisco buildings within the last few
years and feels that this ought to do
for the present, since the city would
hardly be on the map now were it not
for them. Like Maine and Connecticut,
has many close ties with
California. 1t rejoices in California
progress and prosperity, but all that is
aside from the holdup game into which
this over-worked exposition business has
fallen.-Boston Herald.

DANGER PLACES IN BARRE
STREETS.

The general resumption of automobile
riding with the return of dry roads and
streets has again aroused interest in
some quarters toward safeguarding the
lives of school children by placarding
the streets in the vicinity of school
buildings with appropriate signs setting
forth that the chauffeur is in close prox-
unity to schoolhouse and requesting
him to drive slowly and carefully. The
provision is wisely thought out and if
followed is calculated to reduce the ac-
cidents. Here in Barre there are nine
school buildings in various parts of
the city, and some of them are so sit
uated that a sudden rush of the chill
dren is likely to carry them directly
into the path of street vehicles. The
Church street building in particular Of
fers such a possibility, as the building
is placed at the base of hill and there
is, in addition, a curve in the road which
hides the view of a descending vehicle
until it comes almost in front of the
building. A crowd of children might
rush into the road and be unable to
get out of the way of fast-movng
automobile descending the Washington
street hill. Therefore, it is imperative
