THE STORY TELLER.
TWO DRAWBACKS

An American who spends much Of hiH
time in London tells OF an auctionecr
there who. in addition to fine personal
appearance and splendid elocutionarV
talents, possessed considerable culture
and knowledge Of human nature. At
book sale this gentleman would read
with exquisite taste passages from the
books he was selling, with brief bio.
graphs and criticism Of their authors
reciting hexameters from Greek and Ro.
man classics, and rendering pessages
from humorous writers with a tone and
air SO ludicrous as to set the room In
roar Of laughter, Thus he often won
higher prices for books than those got
Ut the shops, An amusing example Of
MS cleverness In extolllng an estate -
the language with which he once ciosed
highly coiored description Of the prop
erty he was selling, For few moments
he paused and then said And now,
gentlemen, having given truthful dcs-
cription of this magnificent estate, can.
dor compels me 70 admit that Il has two

and the noise Of the nightngnics

EEGIsAND's RETALIATION,
(From the ChurchmanJ

Az the present moment in England n
heated discussion is being conducted in
the correspondence columns of various
newspapers regarding the best way Of
dealing with German war prisoners
Many protests have been made against
what is called the luxurious surroundings
in which captured German officers are
permitted by the government 10 live a
large country house. bennington hall. has
been set apart "a their place Of residence.
and many Of the letter-writers contend
that the German officers are far moro
comfortably quartered than men of the
same rank in the British barracks scatter
ed throughout ENGLAND. Tho question has
been brought up before Parliament and
the government has denied the existence
Of luxurious treatment It is encouraging
to see examples Of a spirit of fair-ninded-
ness and moderation In certain quarters
Of the English press the champions OF
retaliation are not having II all their own
way For example, we find the Spectator
recommending as the proper guide for
public feeling in the national attitude
toward prisoners taken from tho enemies
the beautiful inscription on the monu-
nent erected Mt Chatham to French
prisoners Of war a hundred years ago;
Hare are gathered together
The remains OF many brave soldiers and
Sailors.
Who. having once been the foes. after
ward the captiVes Of England
Now find rest in her soil
Remembering no more the snirrosties Of
war
Or the sorrows of imprisonment.
They were deprived of the consolation Of
closing their eyes
Amongst the countrymen they loved,
But they have been laid in an honorable
grave
BY a nation which knows how to respect
valor
And to sympathize with misfortune.

Modern civilization is challenged in

INSURANCE RATES AND STATE
BOARD

(From the Rutland Herald)
The Herald learns from an authori-
tative source that some Of the casualty
compan MES which are bidding for the
business Of Vermont manufacturers un-
hav, doubled and in some cases trebled
their rates. This is Notwithstanding the
assertion OF the Bennington Banner that
the new rates were particularly favor
able TO the employers of the state.
With the constructive defenses abol-
ished and the question of fault prar-
tically eliminated, the rates would
naturally be higher than under the old
statutes. but the sure and certain result
of boosting casualty rates in Vermont
will he the establishment of a State fund.
into which employers may make contribu.
lions and from which claims for injury
may be paid-at cost
The Herald was ~ the opinion that
this provision should have been IN
corporated in the original bill, as rhe
existing Industrial board could handle
such a fund without much additional
cost, but the authors OF the measure
feared to create too much machinery.
Perhaps they We're right, hut after two
years or paving casualty premiums with
the item of profit included. the employers
of the State will almost certainly demand
the opportunity for paying their claims
through a State board, already existent,
instead of through an insurance COM
pany.
1t is also TRUE that firms like the
Howe Scale works the Estcy Organ
company, the Boutwell,. Milne and
Narnum company, the railroads and
other larger Vermont enterprises are
just as responsible as an insurance COM
ilanN and should he so recognized by
the board, should they desire to carry
their own risks. either individually or as
mutual association.
The casualty people will merely kill
the goose which stands ready to lay the
auriferous eggs If they try to exploit
Vermont employers through high rates.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY.
Mail order Competition for Vermont
Merchants and How TO Meet IT,
(From the Bellows Falls Tim

(From the Bellows Falls Times)
can merchants in Vermont and New
Hampshire successfully meet the compe-
tition Of the big city mail order house!
There seems to he an honest difference
of opinion even among merchants.
A Bradford, VI, subscriber n this pa
per writes: Your paper as well as oth-
ers have good deal to say about trad
ing at home instead Of sending money to
mail order houses ] want to ask YOU
and ali the rest Of the good home mer-
chants II they will pay 81 per bushel for
potatoes grown in Bellows Falls when
Grafton man will bring Just as good to
YOUR door for ~ cents. In one family
here at Bradford there has been sent to-
mail order houses since January !, sl9.l2
with a saving of over s25. This last week

would have been nice To have kept that

An upstate newspaper tells of what
Windsor merchant did in the following:
This dealer has made up price com
parison on Al standard articles of large
consumption giving In one column the
mail order prices and In another his own
On some articles he heats the mall order

as the average shows a balance In his

it Is considered that his price means de

seen and examined the goods, while the
mail order price means that charges from
New York or Chicago must he paid, 10
say nothing Of the liability of damage
in transit and the delay and the greater
difficulty In securing and adjustment If
the purchases are not satisfactory. It Is
clear that there Is no excuse for sending
away What this dealer has done, others
in other lines can do. MERCHANTS can
sell at a reasonable profit and still under

right among their customers they have
a great advantage. OF course they can

with the long distance mail order house,

Merchants organizations wherever they
exist ought to seriously consider mail
