commendable action last night in vo+.

have been locked to preserve the shrub
berry will now swing wide that the If

what rightfully belongs to them. The
shrubbery probably is not in serious
danger, but however that NAV be the
woman who said in the meeting thar
the children were more important than
bushes was everlastingly right. There
has been lot of opposition to allow

partly because of the super sensitive
ness of'sorne oftthe' nearby residents.

no difficulty in supporting herself She
would be most valuable in a dairy, and
as needlewoman she has few equals
If her husband We're a workingman
instead of being q king she could darn
the children's clothes Her majesty
could also make a living by two great
accomplishments she possesses. These
are her fine contralto voice and her ca

The dowager queen of Italy could
earn her living as lecturer on Shake

Queen Elizabeth of Bulgaria could
make her living as a hospital nurse.
Queen Helena of Italy, Queen Vic

Here IS still another angle of view
point on the Mellen resignation from
the Greenfield Gazette 9'Charles S.
Mellen bows to the inevitable and re-
lleves the New Haven road of an EN-,
barrassing situation by resigning as
president. The changes should not
stop here. His great fault has been
inability to see that the only possible
basis for success lies in pleasing the
public. No manager of a dry goods
store attempts to lay down the law as
to what the public needs, should have,
and must have. He studies public
taste and adapts himself to it. Public
service corporations have to do the
same. -

Piquant ParasoIs.

the imagination fails to conjure up a
possible form in which they have not
already appeared. They are so gay
and original that they will be invalu-
able adjuncts to help out a simple
summer dress.
One curious fad in this connection
Is that of using tassel of old and
faded silk to adorn the handle of ones

ent, Mr. Crosby, makes an exceedingly
good suggestion as to what Brattleboro
should do to greet its Greenfield neigh
bors on the occasion of their annual
pleasure trip to Island park Saturday.
1t is an opportunity to show our APP
probation of their appreciation, and
should not be passed by. The enter
tainment committee of the local board
of trade should see to it that our
friends from down the valley are given
a cordial welcome-one becoming per-
sons of such rare discernment in the
matter of recreation spots

Take look at the east side of Main
street between Elliot and High and
ask yourself how much longer the town
can afford to squander its money in
building stretches of highway absolute
ly unfit to withstand the traffic to
which they are subjected. We might
as well face the fact that no sort of
macadam is heavy enough to stand the
wear and tear that comes on Main
street. Paving of some sort is the
only surface that will do.

The ''melon" cut by the American
Express company last week in the
form of an extra dividend of 1895, geo
should convince most persons that the
parcel post has not yet crippled the
express companies, and is hardly likely
to until it is greatly extended. The
dividend took the form of distribution
of the American eompany's Wells Far
go stock, every stakeholder in the
American company getting a share of
Wells Fargo stock for every four
shares of American stock that he held.
The dividend equaled about one fourth
of the capitalization Of the American
Express company.
