DISCUSS MEXICO.
Lansing and McAdoo Meet in New
YOrk-QuestiOn of Finance.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Secretary Lans-
ing of the state department and Sec
retary McAdoo of the treasury will
confer in New York tomorrow on the
Mexicon situation.
Secretary Lansing left here tonight,
expecting to return Monday. He said
he would meet Mr.. McAdoo tomorrow
and that the conference had to be
with Mexico, but declined to say what
phase of the problem would be taken
over.
Mr.. McAdoo, VINO has been at his
summed home at North Haven, Me-,
was summoned by a telegram late to-
day and was en- route to New York to-
night.
During the Pan-American confer
ence on Mexican affairs here there was
dicussion of the question of financing
any government which, might be set up
in Mexico, either through a confer
ence of the factional leaders or by
consort. It is known that this sub
pect was put over for future consider
alton when the conferees recovene in
New York next week.
Undoubtedly American fnanciers
will have to be consulted and it was
suggested tonight tat Secretary Nc
Adoo will be charked with the duty of
sounding them. If this is true he will
have to be acquainted with the whole
purpose of tie Washington govern
ment and the South and Central Am
erican powers which join in restoring
peace in Mexico.

A PRACTICAL MAN, TOO!
Three Cheers For the Latin Pro.
fesS0r!

One summer day the grocer's deliv-
cry horse baked in front Of our house,
says Mary Leal Harkness, in the At
lantic. Of all obstreperous quadru-
peds, he was the very balkiest horse
Il at l ever saw The delivery boy
swore and wept, he petted and patted,
he lashed and pulled, he exhausted
every device known to delivery boys,
and the beast moved not. A crowd as
sembled-the sort of crowd which such
attraction always draws, practical
men and boys all-and, I'll dare be
sworn, not user of grammar pure
and undefled in the W-ole collection.
And they told all they knew about
balky horses, and did all they knew as
we'll; but the horse remained unmoyed.
Then the college professor of our fam
lily, a Latin professor, as it chanced,
and of the vintage witch our valued
writer's on education would probably
term "of yesterday" looked out Of his
library window and contemplated the
situation. But not for long. He rose
without remark, sought his carriage
house, procured rope, advanced to
the middle of the street, spoke gently
to the grocer's boy and his steed, at
tao: ed the rope at the points where
it would do the most good-and the
animal proceeded down the street
There was some surprised and admir-
ing comment from the bystanders,
remember, to which the PROFESSOR
made not much response. The only
explanation which he eTouchsafed to his
family was, 81 learned that trick when
was boy on Jim Henderson's farm.
He used to keep the meanest horses
that ever grew"
1t seems that a college education
had not made the good professor
helpless" or disdainful of things ma
terial; 1e was the most practical man
there.

ENFORCING THE LIQUOR LAW.
Vermont Tribune.

Illegal selling of liquor is being per-
sistently hunted by the authorities of
Barre, and the most strenuous efforts
of legal counsel there the other day
could not save a violator of the law
from one of the heaviest sentences i'm
posed in this State for some time-a
fine of three hundred dollars and costs,
and Imprisonment for three hundred
and sixty days, with an order of court
for the immediate execution of the SEN
tence. Barre voted mo" last March,
as did all but about fifteen of the cities
and towns in Vermont; and when a
town votes that way, it is up to the
community to see that the vote is backed
to the limit Barrels evident earnest
ness in this matter is worthy of emula-
ton in several other localities we could
mention

have other blessings that some States

have other blessings that some States
do not have.
In the first place there is no ocean
bordering on Vermont to suddenly
burst forth and do incalculable damage
such as happened in Texas.
In the second place there is not an
oversupply of people who feel that they
could run the government and yet have
the real capacity to sell peanuts.
In the third place there are no extra
large industrial centers where there is
a continual clash between capital and
labor.
We might go on and enumerate vari-
Gus other ways wherein Vermont was
blessed. But the greatest blessing
that is in store for the State as a unit
is the attitude of the people toward the
future. Vermont has been kept IN the
background because so many of its
inhabitants were continually dwelling
in the past.

VERMONT FOR FARMING.
Barre Times.

The testimony of men who have
Viewed the country and the industries
from Vermont to California and then
again from California to Vermont as
they motored along their testimony
that they saw, possibly, only one place
where farming appealed more to them
than it does in Vermont ought to go
far toward satisfying those discontinued
Vermont farmers who are looking for
other places. Such is the testimony
which the Camps of East Randolph
bring back after their double trans
continental trip to the coast of Cali
fornia, durir G which they took occasion
to inspect the methods of farming in
many States. Incidentally, it seems
that Barre granite and Rutland marble
are two of the best advertised products
of the entire United States, the knowl-
edge of the products extending to
nearly every place where the Vermonters
stopped and conversed with the people.

VERMONT MARBLE FOR MASSA
CHUSETTS STATE HOUSE.
Brattleboro Reformer.

Vermont marble won victory in Bos-
ton yesterday, when the executive
council took up the subject of stone to
be used in building the westerly wing
of the State house. An argument was
made for marble quarried in Lee on the
ground that a preference should be
shown for home State product, but
the State house building commission
affirmed that the Vermont marble was
not only cheaper than the Lee marble,
but that the latter would not harmonic

struction, in all of which Vermont mar

expenditure of 1904, $50.

my father first preached the word of

my mind a flood of sweet memories.
Was it not then human nature to do

Surely you appreciate; surely you under

The girl members of the Kindly Deeds
Society were together one afternoon at

broken by Carry's saying, Girls,
oughtn't we to be thinking of doing
something for somebody right here,
same as the boys have. Now there
was Harold went and sold his bicycle
and brought his cousins up, and what
have any of US done like that?" "Why
couldn't we bring some poor city girls
up here?" asked Harold's cousin, Mar
gerry, who had joined the society and
become very much interested in it.
you've no idea how happy it would
make them, if they could get away
from the hot and dingy houses in the
dirty crowded streets for a short time
and come to place like this. Why
they'd never forget it as long as they
lived. One of the incest girls in my
Sunday school class told me that she
had never been in the country. had
never seen COW fact and she was
a real bright girl who was always
reading books out of the library. -
THAT would be fine, if we could do it, -
said Molly. 1T would cost some money
to bring them up here and we should
have to find place for them to stay.

Older BUT STRONGER

eTo be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.

TWO MIDDLEBURY GRADUATES
Rutland Herald.


Rutland Herald
The announcement that Fred j.
Bailey, formerly of Wells River, has
been made chief clerk of the United
States bureau of mines is not only of
news interest but source of gratifi-
cation to Vermonters on both sides of
the range. The alumni of Middlebury
College will take pardonabe pride in
the latest achievement of Mr.. Bailey
for it was from that institution that he
went to the public service, to a service
of teaching Filipinos. In the latter
connection it should be mentioned that
Mayor Bert l.. Stafford of Rutland was
Mr.. Bailey's associate and that the two
men, fresh from college, have credited
to them in the archives of the federal
government an enviable record. The
inside story known only to intimate
friends, of the experience of these two
VerInonters in the Philippines during
the early days of the islands recon-
struction by this country is one of
hardship-of the sort which often turns
mans hair white. Bailey has seen fit
to remain in the federal service and has
made good as his promotion under a
changed administration shows. That
the Tinmouth student from Middlebury
college, who chose to follow the legal
profession, has established himself Sc
curely in the affections of the city of
his adoption is shown in the preferment
which has come to him.
