BEYOND THE TOMB.
Victor Hugo's Views on the lmmor-
taIity of the Soul.

Victor Hugo's Views on the Immor-
tally of the Soul.
Victor Hugo's opinion On the question
Of life beyond the grave was remark
able one The great Frenchman was
firmly convinced that he would meet
all his friends in a future world. He
was equally sure that he had always
existed from the antediluvian times,
when the Creator placed him on earth.
He believed that he would exist for
ever, inasmuch as he felt in his soul
thousands uf hymns, dramas and po-
ems that had never found expression.
When he atheists would say to him.
THE proof that you will not exist in
the future is that you did not exist in
the past IIu."o would answer:
"Who tod you 1 did not exist in the
past centuries? You will say that is
the legend Of The ages. The poet has
written, life IS fairy tale twice writ
ten He might have said a thousand
times written. You do not believe in
the dOctri.a of surviving personalities
for tie reason that you do not recollect
your anterior existence. But how can
the recollection of vanished ages re-
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember a thousand and
one scenes and events Of your present
life? Since 1902 there have been ten
Victor Hugos in me. Do you think
that I can recall all their actions and
all their thoughts?
1.-THE tomb is dark, and when I shall
have passed the tomb to emerge into
light once more all these Victor Hugos
will be almost wholly strangers to me
h,1t it will always he the same sOul."

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Green Mountain Trail.

Vermont proposes to have a continu-
Gus mountain trail from the Massa
chusetts border of the state to the
Canadian line along the ridge of the
Green Mountains. Several considera-
BILE sections of the trail are already
completed, one in the heart of the
most splendid scenery of the range
reaching from Cancels Hump to Mt.
Mansfield and beyond, and work is
under way on the long section from
Killington over Pico to the Hump.
The Green Mountain club has
sections all over the state, promoting
the opening of branch trails which
shall tap the pathway on the ridge.
These trails will be of much value for
the fighting of forest fires, and they
will make accessible for the ordinary
tourist and tramper, without knowl-
edge of woodcraft and hardly up to
steep mountain scaling, great world
of beauty, for the Green Mountains
are full of wild and picturesque
scenery.-Boston Journal.

Come YOUR Share Awaits YOU!
This First Week of Our
July Clearance Sale
Proves Phenomenal
This Remarkable Sale Out-Distdnces
All Records.

A months selling packed into six
days, that's the result of our July Clear
ance Sale to date. To be sure, we
never before sold goods at such mar
vellously low prices, but, too, we never
sold so much in so brief time.
This community shows a progressive
disposition to help itself and to go the
limit, hook, line and sinker, when
square deal is assured and the plain
truth and nothing but the truth told.
The tremendous selling of the past
week has reduced quantities but has not
upset assortments altogether. There's
plenty here still to please everybody
and there are reduced prices that will
make you wonder how we can do it.
You see, it's our clearance time, when
we forget profits and have but one
object-to sell every bit of summer
merchandise regardless of how much of
loss we may have to pocket

As UsUAL-POOR THIRD.

Moosers are third even in Massachu-

"The official election returns
show that although Bird, Progress

ed 1O.O6S more votes that Gardner,
Republican candidate, all the other
Republican candidates on the state
ticket ran many thousands OF votes
ahead OF the Progressive candidates.
.Goetting, the Republican candidate
for lieutenant governor, received
1920 votes, while Gosgrove, the
Progressive candidate for the same
office, received only 1O3,804. The
big vote for Bird for governor was
largely a personal victory. Bird
made over five hundred speeches
and the Boston Daily Traveller says
that over 100000 was spent 70
aid his campaign. One thing that
lost many thousands Of votes for
Gardner was his advocacy OF the re-
striction of immigration. He lost
thousands of votes on this account
in sections Of Boston where Its'ian
and Hebrew voters predom:1ated
and also in Lowell, where he fell
far behind the Republican vote. Re-
