It's strange sometimes how things
happen. Two weeks ago the Monitor
printed as news item warning to
town officers to get about the settle
ment of their town affairs early to
comply with the new law, and quoted
from the new statute. One of our
state dailies clipped the whole thing,
heading included, used it verbatim in
its editorial column and nearly every
paper in Vermont has copied or
commented upon it and urged this
matter themselves, giving credit to the
daily.

general approval. Again we urge
every citizen of Vermont to read this
report. 1t looks formidable but is
really very interesting, enlightening
and something of value.

Rubs 1t In on Telephone Hearing.

The sudden closing of the investiga-
ton of the telephone business in
Vermont was something of surprise.
People had generally expected the
state would have some evidence to
present but it closed the hearing with
out putting in word of evidence to
show the rates should be decreased.
The Montpelier Journal says :-''That
the state has not deemed it necessary
to introduce witnesses, expert or
otherwise, seems to furnish signal and
conclusive proof that it is fully salts
fed to rest it's case on the evidence as
company themselves Allow us to
suggest that is it just as conclusive
proof that the telephone companies
have made a full and satisfactory
presentation OF the facts connected
with the case.
The Journal also says =" Those
who claim the investigation has been
exceedingly costly should remember
that if it has entaiJed heavy expense,
responsibility for that lies entirely
with the telephone companies" That
it has been exceedingly costly cannot
we'll be denied. We do not know how
costly, but it is quietly talked that
the expense of the state will exceed
$25, 900.
1t can hardly be said however, that
responsibility of this expense rests
entirely with the telephone companies

should be reduced the governor

had to be educated as to the meaning
of each line of evidence before the
telephone companies could present 1t.
This education has taken much time
and cost much money and the governor
rather than the telephone companies
has been responsible for this.
Of course no one can predict what
the findings of the commission will be
but it must be admitted they have
received full information and an
expensive education and the state will
have to pay the cost of it. The public
will await the verdict with an open

IN the rocks at the Cliff House
~ in San Francisco there are
sea lions.
When Balboa tumbled head first

and to these he annually returns.

they have distinguishing scars
and marks Of individuality that
can not be mistaken. Simple folks
think that sea lions are all alike,
but this is a great mistake. Some
are good -natured and generous,
others mean, small, quibbling and
irritable.

A Girls Choice Of Friends
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author Of 1.-THE Etiquette of New York To-day"

TUCH of the happiness of
N life depends on making a
wise choice of friends.
Very true friendships may be
formed early in life and may
grow out of comradeship in
school or college7or in social or in
business relationships, but even in
the very early years tastes must
be trained to be discriminating.
Girls must strive to understand
how to choose, how to discern and
judge character, for it is on the
worth of character that true
friendship is based. Without in
sight or discernment one may
make fatal mistakes which will
bring disappointment and may
mar life.
A girls friends and companions
show just what sort of a girl she
is. A girl who is refined in her
tastes will not associate with
those who are loud in manner,
coarse in speech, conspicuous in
dress.
Companions are doing harm
when they encourage having a
good time" at the expense of
disregard of prophecies or a dis
regard of right. Friends or ac-
quaintances who tempt a girl TO
