est Johnsbury Day" was a fine
thing for the enterprising and growing
town Of st. Johnsbury. Any town
could have such day with good re-
suits. The business men Of that place
got together, visited the various enter
prises Of the town and in the evening
had a banquet at which speeches were
made by local men discussing various
important subjects relating to the in
terests of the place. Among the sub
jects taken up were municipal i'm
provements, insurance rates, industrial
outlook and one speaker touched upon
the good old New England spirit that
prevailed in that place ,

George w. Devoe of Philadelphia has
brought suit in Rutland county court
to recover $4,000 from Julia G. Graves

was injured September 81, 1912, at
Fair Haven through the negligence of
her employees. T. w. Moloney of this

defendant were trimming the limbs
from a tree which overhung the walk
and that, not being warned of his dam
ger, Mr. Devoe walked under the tree
just as a limb fell and it struck him on
the head and back, knocking him
senseless and breaking his collarbone

One and Three-quarters Pound Bah,

A recent exchange was in error in
stating that the smallest baby in the
world, weight two pounds, was dead.
ST. Johnsbury boasts of smaller baby,
a perfectly formed, apparently healthy
bit Of humanity that balances it's
baby scales at one and three ourths
pounds. The baby, Dexter Benjamin
Burgess, is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
George B. Burgess, of Winter street
and was seven weeks old Tuesday. He
is not as large as the doll which many
small girl found in her stocking
Christmas morning, but is perfectly
formed and normal in every way The
little body measures twelve inches and
the tiny foot is an inch and quarter
long. So tiny is the baby that no at
tempt has been made to dress him.
He is fed every two hours from the IT,
NEST of bottles and is beginning tc
show lively interest in feeding time.
His first food was taken through E
medicine dropper, but after few days
he graduated to bottle and the con.
tents disappear with the rapidity anc
enjoyment of the average sized chile
at feeding time. His daily rub with
olive oil is another event he seems tt
enjoy. Little Dexter Benjamin counts
his admirers by the score and in his
seven weeks of mini ature babyhood has
caused considerable of sensation
among the feminine residents of Win
ter street and vicinity. Mr.. and Mrs
Burgess are the parents of one othel
child, fine, big, Justly boy of six years

Ways Of Getting Money.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There are two ways of getting money;
first, getting 1t from somebody TO whom
you have given the moneys worth; sec
ond. getting it without giving the moneys
worth.
The first way is honest.
AS to the second, some varieties are
recognized as dishonest, others are still
respectable.
Among the ways Of getting something
for nothing may be mentioned the follow
ing:
Robbery. This is the most ancient and
honorable art, II rightly understood. To
leap out from dark corner. knock man
on the head and go through his pockets
is crude: It is a practice followed only by
'lowbrows," yeggmen. gunner. bandits
and the like; but for strong nation to
browbeat and loot a weak nation is sup
posed to be craftsmanship.
Finding. AS when you pick up 30 cents
in the street. or somebody accidentally
leaves a thousand-dolIar bill in your over
coat pocket This mode of acquiring
wealth is followed mostly by those who
are asleep.
Gift. This includes inheritance. 1t will
take another hundred years of democracy
for the world to get to the point where
this way of getting money will be seen
to be unjust and contrary to the public
welfare. Though wrong. 1t Is buttressed
by four or five thousand years of prece-
dent.
porch climber and pickpocket. IT, how
ever, you object to a gentleman S stealing
a railroad worth S4O.OCoo00 you are not
considered moral, but an anarchist, or
some crazy reformer of the sort.
Swindling. including three-card monte.
the shell game and get rich quick
stocks
Gambling business where profits de-
pend on luck is gambling. 1t makes no
difference whether you play with stocks
and bonds or jacks and sevens.
Making a nuisance of yourself This
embraces the organ grinder. the poor re-
lation and all others to whom you pay
money on condition that they go away.
Borrowing. This is an improvement on
swindling because you intend TO give IL
back. It's no trouble to keep on intend
ing.
The only way, however, OF getting
money so as to have II bring you peace.
self-respect and clean conscience Is to
earn it. This you can do by selling dol
lars worth OF apples for one dollar. or
by getting dollar In wages for dollar
worth Of work.
When you get money by giving its equiv
alent the transaction is closed; you and
the universe are quits.
When you get money in any other way
at all you pay for ii, In the end, many
times more than it's worth: sometimes
In money; sometimes in loss of character:
always you pay
When the spirit of democracy shall have
had its perfect work, when the tainted
ethics Of our plundering ancestors shall
have been cleaned up. when big business
shall have learned justice, and when all
ancient frauds shall have been brought
to equity we shall establish the rule uni
versal that money shall only go to the
person that earns IL.
