that. all things considered, the savings

person who knows little about stocks

For a tolerably safe investment the
savings bank is the best market obtain
able, and it affords the added advantage
of ready payment when the depositor
wants it. All Vermont people, remote
from the stock markets, should take the
advice and place their money in savings

Dillineham and the Lorimer Case.

We are glad to note that Mr.. Prouty
and his Orleans headquarters are not
seeking to make the Lorimer case an is
sue against Senator Dillingham; to any
extent. 1t has not been more than cas-
ually mentioned by either in speech or
newspaper copy. In our opinion it will
serve Mr.. Prouty best TO use the soft
pedal on the Lorimer matter 1t will
yield little capital against Dillingham;,
whose action, it is pretty well under
stood, came as the result of firm convic-
ton, based on all the evidence in the
case. which came before him as a mem
Der of the investigating committee. 1t
NAV be, of course, that the senator
formed an erroneous conclusion, but it
was an honest one, and stands especial
" to his credit inasmuch as it ran coun-
ter to an inhamed public sentiment, so
violent as to threaten the political
future of all who stood in opposition.
We have reasons, to us sufficient, for be-
leving that Vermont would best pro-
mote her interests by sending Charles A.
Prouty TO the Senate this year, but one
of them is not that William p Dilling-
ham, firm in the belief that he was act
ing from a sense of right, with even the
threat of his political extinction to move
him the other way, dared to follow his

EARLY VISITING CARDS.
Those Used In Italy Were Elaborats
Works of Art.


Works of Art.
Some authorities hold that the origin
of the visiting card lay in the circum-
stance that when Pericles first laid
siege to the heart of Aspasia he sent
her a bouquet TO which. fearful lest
she might not guess from whom the
compliment proceeded. he caused to be
attached a strip of wood wherein his
name was cut
According to Bertarelli. who, among
others. has been at much pains to COM
pile the history of the card, 1t is Diff
cult to say whether it was first used In
Greece or In China. However that may
be, 1t seems to be an ascertained fact
that the visiting card did not really
obtain to any extent in Europe until
the time of Louis XIV. 1t crossed the
Pyrenees with Philip of AnJoG when
be was installed In the palace at Mad
rid, and Louis himself was the cause
of its being introduced into the Neither
lands.
Then 1t was adopted In Italy, where
IL was subjected TO much elaboration.
First, the cards showed a modest bor-
der of flowers or leaves; then appeared
landscapes. bits of architecture, allie
gories, etc. Finally came scenes of
rural life, alternating with views of
monuments and towns. The name was
printed on the picture Of wall, a tree
