Ought to Get Together.

There is a hopeful sign abroad in YER
mont that Republicans and Progressives
are coming to realization that the di-
vision of the old time Republican party
is futile. Here and there may be found
indications that the experience of other
states-the election of minority govern
ors because of the present splits hay-
ing its effect in the Green Mountain
state. and the consequence is that there
is a reaching about by men of construct
i've thought for solution of the ques-
ton of how malgamation may be effect
ed
In the first instance it must be made
perfectly plain to the Progressives that
in the Republican party they may find
an instrument with which to write into
the laws the safe'aDd sane measures they
propose. In other words, it must be
demonstrated that the Republican party
is forward looking and stands sponsor
for the best legislation that will make
for the welfare of Vermont. The Pro-
gressive mind must be disabused of the
thought that the Republican party is
nothing more or less than a creature
that has for its aim the doing of the

wishes of some special interests, etc
1t is to be regretted that some, who pre-
tend to be progressive Republican, are
fostering the belief that the party is in
the grip of an invisible government and
are doing it in an insidious way, while
all the time protesting belief in the
party's honest intentions.
But such back currents ought not to
be permitted to affect the onward flow
OF those forces which are earnestly seek
ing to find the common ground on which
Republicans and Progressives may stand,
and, having stood, advance to victory.
1t would be a pity, indeed, if a few men
were to be permitted to act as check
to amalgamation, for it is perfectly con
ceiyable that there may be some men
who will profit more from split than
they would from healing process. But
nothing should be allowed to check an
amalgamation movement.
For, while Republicans the nation over
may take heart from the showing made
in recent elections, it is evident that VIC
tory, except in insulated cases, cannot be
achieved so long as there is no com
promise. Here in Vermont steps should
be taken to prevent the growth of any
keen bitterness between the two fac
tons that would make amalgamation at
some future time impossible 1t might
be possible to hold joint conferences at
which Republicans and Progressives
could talk the whole matter over, and at
which the best principles in the two par
ties could be made into one declaration
OF joint intent which would be accept
able to the best interests of the Progress
sives and Republicans alike. The pres
ent breach ought to be healed and there
is way it can be done. And it is a
duty to try to find a method acceptable
TO all concerned.--St. Adams Messenger.

Imagination in Children.

Laura Spencer Portor, writing an ar

comment on imagination in children:

The Girl Who
Flirts
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

TIME complaint Of a young man that
his sweetheart hirts kindles a
regret that word so originally
sweet and innocent has become SO I'M
wholesome and bedraggled.
Webster says that Irritation is play
ing at courtship without any cruel in
tentions.
The word "Flirt" as ne understood
it. meant girl in her attitude toward
her lover. She fiirts with him: she
taunts him, she leases him. she fills
his days with torture and his nights
with despair. and just when me feels
that he can endure no more. she gives
a sweet little smile OF encouragement
and he falls in love a little deeper.
The frt whom we admire in book
and story is IKE a pretty little butter
nv always keeping just far enough
ahead of her pursuer's fingers to keep
him interested and make him forget the
long chase she has led him. She nirts
With only one man. And that man is
the man who loves her and whom she
loves
Some day she will confess her love.
and l doubt not that it will be lasting
and true.
This is the fiirt Of prose and poem
1t is the woman whose goodness and
purity are given added zest by her in
nocent desire to torment and to tease
the man she loves.
There is a sad difference in the mod
elD application. The word loses all its
original prettiness when applied to
girl who ogles and wlnks and stares to
attract the attention of stranger It
is then that the butterfly has n little
bit Of the soil of earth on it's wings
If the sweetheart who writes me
the letter OF despair has girl who
hirts with him. and with no one else.
he has given his heart to u woman in
whom he always will be Interested She
loves him, else she wouldn't torment
him. II is the torment OF love that is
its great JOY.
Love has been defined as "a sickness
fun Of woes, all remedies refusing
"a torment Of the mind. a tempest ever
lasting"
1t is the bread and wine Of life,
the hunger and the thirst. the hurt and
the meaning, lne only WouHu WHICH lS
cured by another"
And only the man whose loved one
allures him one moment and shuns him
the next. keeping his heart first hot
then cold, knows all the delightful ups
and downs Of love making. Unless a
woman has little of this desire to tor
ment, love- making becomes as prosaic
as buying n steak at the butchers
It would look as reasopable to cure
a child of dancing while at play, COM
polling it to take the slow and heavy
steps Of the aged.
The girl who hirts in this innocent.
artless way, with but one man. and
that man the one she loves and who
loves her. is having her playtime Of
life. There should be no talk Of a cure;
time with it's burdens will see to that.
The word "hirt," in its more common
Interpretation, can not be applied to

A Visitor for Walter.
The family table was complete with the
exception of Mr.. Walter Blount. and as
that young gentleman was hurrying
downstairs in evening dress he was
stopped by Freeman, the footman. with
the information that a gentleman was
waiting to see him. The ubiquitous
Mr.. Andrew came downstairs behind him
and listened.
What's his Nance" asked Walter.
Pardon me, sir" interrupted his valet

suddenly, when the servant was out OF
earshot.
This is one question too many" re-
turned the valet, quietly The master
glared, then shrugged his shoulders and
strolled Off to the dining room.
The footman returned presently, es-
corting "a young man in a light brown
derby, with a reckless tie and a light
check suit. His face was young and
hard. his eyes small and hard, and his
voice low and hard.
Mr.. Blount will see you in a few min.
utes, sir" said Mr. Andrew, for the ben
eft of the retreating servant.
Fine" nodded the visitor, his little
eyes rowing greedily about the handsome
exterior of the big room. Gee! But

drew bowed ironically.
