Foppery of a Genius.

William Congreve, whose play, "The
Double Dealer" was revived recently
by the London Stage Society, was a
sore trial in one respect to DR.. John.
son. Congreve enjoyed much recogni
ton of his work, and Queen Anne was
present at the first performance of
THE Double Dealer" He, however,
always preferred to win applause as
a man of fashion rather than a man
of letters. This 'ingratitude," as he
described it, outraged Johnson. He
tells of how Congreve, on one oc-
casion, received a visit from Voltaire,
and "disgusted him by the despicable
foppery of desiring to be considered
not rs an author but a gentleman; to
which the F'renchman replied chat if
he had been only a gentleman he
should not have come to visit him.

Water for Cows.

All animals require plenty of good,
pure water. This is especially true of
the milking COW, as water constitutes
more than three fourths of the volume
Of milk The water supply, therefore,
demands the dairyman S most careful
attention. Stale or impure water is dis
tasteful to the COW and she will not
drink enough for maximum. milk pro-
ductioH Such water may also carry
disease germs which might make the
milk unsafe for human consumption or
he dangerous to the cow herself. Dur
ing the winter, when cows are stabbed
the greater part Of the time, and .un-
less arrangements have been made to
keep water before them all the time,
they should be watered two or three
times day. If possible, the water
should be ID or 20 degrees above the
freezing point, and should be supplied
1T practically the same temperature
every dav. When water well above
freezing temperature is stored in tanks
and piped direct TO the COW, there IS
probably little occasion for facilities
TO warm it; but when it stands In a
tank on which ice often forms, it us
ually paws well to warm it slightly.
This can be done b. tank heater, by
live steam, or by hot water from a
boiler. If a boiler is used for running
separator or for heating water to
wash and steriiizesutensils,t steam from
it can readily and cheap1y be used to
warm the water ~ Farmers Bulletin

HAVE A FAD or YOUR OWN
Everyone Needs Something to Bring
Thoughts Different From Those
of the Work-a-Day World.

Have some sort of fad for the sake
Of recreation, even if it is nothing more
than making a collection of moths and
butterflies.
You need something to relieve your
mind, something which will bring
thoughts different from those you must
have in the work-a-day struggle.
However, do not become SO interest
ed in outside things that you en-
croach on the time necessary for sue
ceeding in your business.
In adopting a fad, select something
light and restful, not so deep as to give
you brain flag; for choice, something
which will take you out into the open
air and give you exercise.
There is nothing more beneficial to
most people than walking. Take hikes
into the country. This is better done
with definite purpose. Go and get
back within a given time; have q def
mite destination. Walk fast. Don't
lag.
Study the birds in your locality
their names, hauRts, and modes of liv-
ing.
Perhaps you get enough exercise
with your daily grind of work. If
so, take up the study of some sub
iect which will improve your mind
Brain work is just as necessary &c
health as physical exercise.
Follow the Gary system in your daily
life. 1t works out well.

RUTLAND, Nov. 4. - This citv pro-
vided a fitting climax for the RepubH-
can. state campaign at the Shrine thea
ter last night, when an audience that
packed the theater to the doors, filed
the aisles and overlooked to the stage
and the street, gathered to listen to
brilliant eXpositions of state issues by
the next governor, Horace F. Graham,
and of the national situation by William
Howard Taft.
At least 800 people applied for adj
mission, many OF whom were turned
away being unable to enter the audi
forum, and the occasion touched a high
pitch of enthusiasm when Mr.. Taft was
introduced.
Applause, cheers and the deafeniug
noise Of rattles filed the air eontinu-
ing until almost the entire audience rose
to its feet, cheering, waving flags and
demonstrating in unmistakable fashion
not only the atfectionate regard i'm
which the speaker is held, but the sort
of Republicanism which Vermont pro-
poses to display next Tuesday.
Mr.. Taft began by paying a tribute
to Vermont.

POLITICAL CHANGES AS AFFECTING
VERMONT.

The kaleidoscope OF political events
during the days following the Republican
state convention at Montpelier must
have caused considerable thinking on the
part OF the eight delegates who were for
tunate enough to be elected to represent
Vermont at the national convention in
Chicago next week. There does not seem
to be any marked swerving Of the sup
porters of Hughes to any other candidate
despite the sphnx-like attitude of the
justice, but there certainly is a develop
ing popular wave for the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt by the Chicago con
.yention, the development being largely
among those who were at loss to know
which way to turn and who had not be |
come out-and-out supporters Of Charles
Roosevelt sentiment comes from the Mid /
die West, in which territory Roosevelt
placed himself at the psychological mo-
ment just before the converting of the
Republicans in the greatest city Of that
Middle West. The former president is
playing the political game as few besides
himself can play it in the United States.
Whether the popular enthusiasm among
the people Of that section, aided by the
lesser enthusiasm of other sections Of the
country, can be crystallized into pow
erful demand in the convention for Roose.
velt's nomination is still open to ques
tion. Even in Vermont there was a size
able ballot for Roosevelt among Repub-
leans during the primary of May 10 and
there was a still more sizeable ballot for
Roosevelt in the Progressive party col !:
umn Of that same primary. So it is rea !.
sonable to assume If Hughes cannot be .
prevailed upon to accept the Republican
nomination at Chicago that the Vermont Z
delegation cannot, in the light of the !.
primary, ignore completely the second !:
highest vote Of Vermont for Roosevelt
However, they are to remain steadfast
or Hughes as long as there is any pos
ible chance OF securing his nomination :
nd his consent to run for the presidency. h

The Old Homestead To-night--Park
Theatre.

After more than thirty years Of CON
tinuous and unparalleled popularity as
a play, during which period it circled the
globe three times and was presented to
twenty million people, Denman Thomp-
sons immortal rural classic, "The Old
Homestead" has been converted into a
Paramount picture" by the Famous
Players Film company, thus truly i'm
mortalizing what may justly be termed
Che greatest single triumph Of the Amer
can stage. Tt was the irresistible sim
picity OF the human play and its tender
story which bases its appeal upon real
aeart-interest and upon its depletion OF
everyday characters that everyone rec
sgnizes. that have made its popularity
endure for more than three decades 1t
was the fundamental wealth Of univer-
sal interest that caused "The Old Home
stead" to become the foremost dramatic
classic Of our times and makes the photo
play adaptation of the lovable play one
of the most important screen events in
all the annals Of motion pictures. Come
