Engl;shmen Find 1t Hard to Compete for
American Girls.

In the September Woman's Home Com
panion Fannie Heaslip Lea, writing a
story entitled Sicily Ann and the Bug
Hunter" presents an Englishman named
Archibald Cecil Graying, who thinks
that American women are different in
livery way from English women. He
says that American women are abso-
lutely ruined by indulgence. "Your
American woman takes the earth for
her footstool," he says. "She looks on
men simply as a provider of amuse-
ments She lifts her finger and he runs
to get the moon Tor her"
On the subject of American men and
their treatment of women the Britisher
goes on:
Your American men have by their
absurd prodigality made it next to i'm
possible for an Englishman to find fa-
vor with an American girl. / think the
American girl might be charming, once
brought to proper realization of her
position, but your men have made it i'm
possible for us to compete. Why, /
glanced through book the other day,

found lying on the table at my lodgings,

THE story to be true, it cost the man in

BERLIN MAY TAKE ACTION.
Against Charge of Six Cents on Street
Cars in That Town.

From well authenticated sources it is
learned that the town of Berlin is con
templating chancery proceedings against
the Barre & Montpelier Traction &
Power Co., in an effort to restrain the
traction people from collecting a six
cent fare within the town limits. AT
the company's Office this afternoon, no
direct notice of an injunction had been
received, it was said, although the Of
ficials were prepared for such develop
ment 1t is said that the Berlin select
men, c. L. Stewart, W. j. Royce and S. c.
Pike, having the matter in hand, have
taken counsel with Judge 4. M. Harvey
of Montpelier, who will probably be re-
tanned if the town decides to enjoin the
road from assessing the six cent fare.
Should the town carry out its purpose
of starting injunction proceedings the
traction company will have had expert
ence with three separate injunctions
within month. The Berlin selectmen
point to the company's franchise in that
town for authority to proceed with the
Injunction. To all accounts, the town liz
doing the very thing which the company
expected it would do and people who
lave followed traction affairs lately are
wondering what the company's next
move will be. Officials intimate that the
wondering ones won't be kept waiting
long
