The Prophet.

(John Fl. Yates in the Living Church) The mantled prophet stands with arms outstretched, His eyes afame, his muscles tense as steel, His words, which reach him from the lips of God, Break on the ear as breaks the thunderpeal; "Cease from the path of sin. Turn ye to God, How will ye rob the poor and wrong the just? Turn to Jehovah, yet may He for give. The Day of God draws near; all flesh is dust!'' The people hear his words but little heed The ear is heavy and the heart is dead. The voice of God in them no echo stirs, It wakes but anger and a sense of dread: *eWhy should we care. is not life good and sweet? Gold buys 1t pleasures, fame may come with years,
 
 ones' feet, Why this stern call to penitence and tears?" Nay" cries the prophet, but the judgment comes: The Day of God comes as thief at night. The Temple that ye trust in shall not save. Your sole salvation is to love the right. Then, An! Jehovah. If but this ye do Ye shall return as waters in the spring. And He, the Lord of Hosts, shall keep you safe. And round about you arms of mercy f1ing! "The Temple shall not save? Jeho- vah's House? What words are these we hear this fellow cry? Cursed be the tongue that speaks this blasphemy. Stone him to death who dares to speak this lie! Our sins indeed? He calls us to &C., count, Wo WHO so ZedlOuSly IdVS oOA ESo the Lord. Off with this madman, let him die the death, Who dares to think his rawlings are Gods word!" They have their will. The prophets
 lips are sealed, Sin runs it's course unheeded, un-
 dismayed. Only the sound of grooming by the
 wheel, Only the cry of slave by master
 f1ayed, Only the mother weeping for her
 child, Only the husbands cry for his
 loved wife. Only such bitter sounds as these re- Injustice making sport of human Then, like the lightning, at Jehovah's s Falls on the land the naked sword of God!

They All Began to Fly.

And all the Elves went scampering
and flying off to gather the material
for the Balloons
They painted them with their
magic paint brushes and made them
look very fresh and gay. Soon they
were all ready. and Woodbine went up
in the air in his green Balloon first to
sec what it was like TO fly in such a
way
In every one. you know, they had a
little swing, and ready to use at a mo-
ment's notice was a parasol They
thought the parasols would do SPLEEN

would be most interested in such a
flying party.
And they also thought they would
do just as well in case the King of
the Clouds became curious and
brought out all the rain drops to look
at them
They all began to fly soon and how
they did enjoy it Over the hills and
valleys they went. and when they
came to nice messy ground near
streams or by cool springs they
would stop and have delicious drinks
of water in the cups they had brought
along with them. made of birch bark.
After they had been flying for
hours and hours and hours. they all
became very sleepy. so they curled up
in their little swings and went sound.

the night wind carried them along
still farther on their trip. and by sun
rise they were ready to steer their own
Balloons.
For breakfast they visited the old
Dragon. who lived in cave with a
sort of purple moss for hangings over
his doors and windows. And soon
after they began to make their journey
homeward. but very. very slowly. for
they stopped and saw their friends on
the way and were admired for their
beautiful Balloons. And Woodbine

THE EA r

The ear is a delicate attachment to
the human bean which is worn in the
same spo. year after year without
losing its pretzel-likc contour. Nan
loses his teeth and hair and waist line,
but down to old age he retains the
same set of dubious, kitc-shaped ears
with which he stood up on his wedding
day. Perhaps this explains why so
many people are so careless with their
ears and allow them to be pushed over
toward the sidewalk by n fur cap.
The ear is the entrance to the brain
and the mouth is the exit. When we
look at the mouth Of man, and some
times woman, and note how closely
nature has modelled it after the lines
of a swing door, then observe how
hard it is to reach the brain through
the ear, we cannot but think how
much better it would have been if
those conditions were reversed. BY
/ the time an original thought enters
/ the ear and crawls on its hands and
! knees into the brain cells. the mouth
will be full of something else entirely

sion. If nature had made the ear SC

When the explosion occurred the

to leave very little room to obtain
articles within, A small bag of money
containing about 81 belonging to the
postmaster, George f. WILDER, was
taken. Out of reach in the safe was

ELVES TRIP IN BALLOONS.

Daddy was so anxious to tell the
Children a special story he had that
he began it before he had taken the
trouble to sit down.
THE Balloons were of every color
you can think of-there were yellow
ones, green ones. orange ones, and
ones Of pink. purple, red, scarlet, pale
blue and dark blue, brown, lavender
and silver. But of course l know you
are wondering why l am telling you
of the various colors of the Balloons
and nothing about the Balloons them
selves.
You see it was this way! The Elves
had been thinking of taking a trip and
they wanted to take quite a new kind.
So little Elf named Woodbine sug-
gested that all go off for an air trip.
But they couldn't think of any way
OF going, as their airships had not ar
rived and they were in too much of a
hurry to be off to wait for the Air
ships.
And again little Woodbine said:
why not go in Balloons? In the
circuses that little Boys and Girls go
to / have heard-and also have seen
over the villages-great Balloons with
a person in each Balloon waving about
on a sort of wooden swing-and over
their heads they had gay parasols of
many colors.'
That's a fine scheme.' they all
shouted. Let's have Balloons. How
will we get them?'
1--WE can make them ourselves
said Woodbine. I'm sure in the cir
cuses the Balloons are made and don't
Just come walking in of their own free
will and accord We will each make
a Balloon-and every Elf will have one
all for himself-but be sure you all
make fine parasol to match your Bal
loon. The Balloons / have seen have
been dull and most uninteresting and
not like the parasols. But We'll make
bright colored ones-every Elf will
make Balloon of his favorite color

Vermont papers generally are eau
tioning young men against the tempt
ing offers made by representatives of
-of-the-state manufacturing con
Germs. It is well to remember that
higher wages are generally accom-
panied by higher rent, higher prices
and general higher cost of living.
And in the case of a good many of the
plants that are now trying so hard to
get help the very reason for their
haste is the fact that the work they
have is of an immediate nature-de-
pendent upon completion before the
end of the war Sooner or later the
end of the war will come and then a
lot of the concerns that have been so
glad to get young men from Vermont
will be equally glad to let them come
back to their native state and hunt
job.

The ear is used principally to hear
with, and sometimes it abuses the
privilege by listening to conversation
which was intended for some other
ear. The ear Of the eavesdroppcr is
the longest specimen in captivity
with the exception of that owned b.
the inquisitive mule, the only differ
ence being that the mule can lay his
ear back cut of harm s way. People
are said to have a sensitive ear when
they can distinguish between real
music and an amateur song recital
The possession of this kind of an ear
causes needless pain to many WORTHY
people who live in the same apar.-
ment house with a slide trombone en-
thusiast This is probably the main
reason WHY SO many deaf people wear
a look Of perfect coutentment.
The ear can be trained so as to be
very useful to man. For instance
when a bit of grimv gossip tries to
/ worm itself into the ear of an honest
/ friend he can pass it out through the
! other ear without allowing any of il
/ to stick to his mind. This is one OF
/ the best things the ear can do. and il

A substantial increase in the valu-
alton of stocks of local banks was
what prevented Brattleboro' grand
list from showing q considerable de-
crease on account of the new fax law
with its limited offset feature and
exemption of book accounts. Under
the circumstances the town is fortu-
nate that the decrease in taxable
property was no more than $4,000.
In many towns of the state, notably
Burlington, the decrease this year
runs into hundreds of thousands al
though Rutland and Bennington show
a slight increase in spite of the
change in the law.
