The Meddler is inclined to extend
congratulations to both Mr.. Durham
and DIR. Lynch on the outcome of the
town representative election. To be
the winner in fight as close as that
which was waged here Tuesday, even if
the margin is very small one. is cause
for qualification, and for that reason
Mr.. Durham deserves the Fluctuations
which are extended herewith. DIR.
Lynch deserves to be congratulated not
only upon the excellent showing which
he made in a naturally Republican town
in a presidential year, but also because
he will not be obliged to let his extern
slve practice suffer as might have been
the ease had he been forced to spend
twoS months or more at Montpelier.
Even Mr.. Durham cannot look forward
with any great enthusiasm to his pro
spective sojourn at the capital, but he
is especially fortunate in having his
business affairs SO arranged that he can
devote his undivided attention to legis-
lative duties.

Cutting teeth is pastime which
babies indulge in, in order to prevent
their parents from oversleeping.
The average baby is born with stall
room for several teeth, no two of which
sprout at the same time On the con
trary, they drift into place one by one,
instead of coming up in serried ranks,
like the asparagus or the long wasted
radlsh. We have some bright
men in the medical profession in this
country, but they have never been able
to correct this evil, which teaches us
that our schools of medicine could be
abolished without setting back the dial
OF progress more than two inches and
a half.
When baby begins to cut his first
teeth he will inform everybody of the
tact who is not stone deaf in both ear
Iobes. There is something about the
loud, determined accents and ANNOYED
facial expression of baby which is

are electric lighted, the stable is equip

electric motors and other machinery to
make farming on a large scale easy and

Going back for a moment to the
representative result, it is fortunate, in
The Meddler's opinion, that Mr.. Dun
ham had enough votes to win, even if
the board of civil authority had decided
to count the mutilated Lynch ballot
which was finally thrown out, for if
the reverse had been the case there
would have been more or less feeling
that the result had come about through
a technicality. As to the ballot in
question, from which the Durham col
umns had been torn on each side, The
Meddler believes it should have been
considered defective even if the intent
was plain. Otherwise precedent
would be established by which a candi-
date whose name appeared twice on one
ballot, as Mr.. Durham S did, might
get two votes fEem one voter.
