The Heart of Youth.

The Heart of Youth.
Agatha Redmond can you hear
me?'
She caught the voice family, as if
it were child's cry.
I'm right here, yes; only wait just
Il second She could not instantly
free herself from her sandy coverings,
but she was wide awake almost at
the FIRST words James had spoken.
Faint as the voice had been, she
recognized the natural tones, the
strongest he had uttered since coming
out of the water.
The night had grown cold and dark,
and ut first she was a trif1e bewilder-
ed. She was also stiff and sore, al
most beyond bearing. She had to
creep along the sand to where Jim
lay. The fire had burned wholly out,
and the sand felt damp as she crawled
over it. When she came near, she
reached out her hand and laid it on
Jim's forehead. He was shivering
with cold
You poor man! And l sleeping
while I ought to be taking care of
you! Ill make the fire and get some
milk; there is still a little left"
AS she tried to make her aching
bones lift her to her feet, she became
aware that the man was fumbling at
his coverings and trying to say some
thing. She bent down to hear his
words, which were incredibly faint

there" he said difidently, as if
ashamed of his childishness.
She leaned over him, speaking gen.
tly and touching his head softly with
her firm, cold hands.
You're q little better now, aren't
you, after your sleep? Don't you feel
little stronger"
YES, I'm better, lots better" he
whispered. 81 must have been sleep

Although Never Dormant, 1t Has
Been Proved They Have Special
Hours of Activity.

A celebrated scientist has made the
interesting announcement that there
are more microbes in the air at nine
o'clock in the morning and at nine
o'clock at night than during any 9TH
er periods Of the day. He has also
discovered that the percentage of mi
crobes in the atmosphere is less at
three o'clock in the morning and three
o'clock in the afternoon than at any
other times. The explanation adj
vanced for the partiality of the mi
crobe for nine o'clock a. m. and p. m.
is that the "microbe hour" is con-
trolled by the movements of people.
From five to nine in the morning they
are going from their homes to their
working places, and from five to nine
in the evening they are again jour-
neying through the streets. either
homeward bound or in search OF
pleasure.

of the brothers pushed up his sleeve,
exposing badly lacerated arm. The
five gazed at 1t in respectful silence
for few moments. Their experience
in the mountains told them that their

with bear. One of them opened the
ensuing dialogue with:

After this bear story OF five words
they smoked in silence until it was
time to go home. For months after
that reunion they would remark to
visiting neighbors that they had SO
powerful fine time at Eben's re
union
1t was remarkable, because they
had had a bear story in addition to
the blessing. which was a powerful
lot OF talk for these silent men.

Tried Trick Once Too often.

A man Of seventy-f1ve, who of re-
cent years had extorted money from
charitable persons. in Paris, by pre-
tending to commit suicide, has fallen
victim to his ingenuity. He used to
fasten rope, attached to the ceiling,
about his neck with an easy running
moose. Then, having knocked over
the furniture, he would overturn the
chair on which he was standing and
remain hanging by the rope. Alarm
ed by the noise, the neighbors would
rush in and cut him down. After be-
ing revived he would depict his state
OF distress in such moving language
that money would be forthcoming for
his relief. Later he would repeat the
trick in another house, invariably
with success. But a few days ago,
when he was carrying out the trick.
there was a hitch. No one went to
his help and he remained hanging,
being eventually cut down dead.

BOYS AND GIRLS,
SAVE YOUR NICKELS

There is nothing that contributes
more to health. happiness and long
life than thrift.
Having this in mind, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank has adopted
ideas and methods with reference to
promoting thrift in the mind of the
Vermont boy and the Vermont girl
as well-which are regarded by some
bankers as contrary to the rules of
good banking
In other words the Hyde Para
Savings Bank will receive deposits
of any size, however small. because
it believes that in so doing it is en-
couraging the boy and girl to become
thrifty. Starting a bank account
with a nickel or dime involves an
absolute loss to he bank accepting
so small a deposit. unless other de-
posts are made later on. But banks,
although their managers do not al
ways realize it, are incorporated for
the public good, and so the HYDE
Park Bank, realizing its duty to the
general public, says to the boy or
girl who is willing to begin saving.
Come on with your deposits. how
ever small; the bank will take It's
chances on your becoming a larger
banker later on"
Very few boys and girls realize
the wonderful power of compound
interest. The Hyde Parx Bank pays
four per cent and compounds semi.

at this rate boy commencing at
ten years of age to save a DINE
day. and continuing to save that
sum, will have

1t seems that the governors ac-
ton in remaking the public service
commission was not based entirely
on the telephone rate question, but
that he has been watching the com
mission and finds that it has been
going wrong. The governor in his
statement printed in The Banner to-
day instances the decision in the
South Branch street case in Benning-
ton and another case with which we
are not familiar The Bennington
case was not of great Importance to
many people to be sure, but the pub
lie service commission certainly
made a bad blunder when it decided
in effect that wrong might be per
petuated because it would be eXpen-
sive for the multi-millionaire tele-
phone company TO do right. II there
are many other decisions on record
on a par with that it didn't need much
more to warrant action We note
that some of the papers are CRITICS
ing the governor on the ground that
the special committee only gave
months time to its investigation.
With all the other business before 1t
the public service commission could
not possibly give a months time TO
an investigation of telephone matters
and still do its other work, and reach
conclusion in a year. while the
special committee had nothing else
on hand and gave it all their time.
The strength of the argument is
again on the side of the governor.
Again another phase OF the matter.
1t is said that the public service
commission ought not to have accept
ed the report of the special commit
tee as a basis of action. Why not?
Courts appoint special referees,
special masters and special auditors
to determine the details when the
court has not the time to go into the
tangled mass of evidence This
special committee performed the
same sort of service Why shouldn't
